PULSE: http://soundscapes.us/pulse
=======================================================================
PULSE plays at the level of a tribute band without specializing on any
one band. This is no mean feat! This high caliber Classic Rock band
plays the music of Steely Dan, Santana, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Moody
Blues, Jethro Tull, Blues Brothers, Beatles, and other top shelf
groups. The group includes Greg Van Allen (guitars and vocals), Rod
Gilkeson (vocals), Bob Ashmore (Keyboards), Bill Fox (bass and vocals),
and Billy Fenstermacher (drums and vocals).

Having a party? Hire Pulse to play and your friends will talk about
your party for months to come.

On Friday, August 28, Pulse will play at Mixx Nightclub (formerly TK's
Lounge) in Allentown. Come enjoy the best in Classic Rock. You KNOW
that Pulse plays different songs than all the other bands in the area.
So come on out for a rare treat.
