Semi Freak – Farewell Show
semifreak is an original, hard rock foursome from Denver. They create music, which their fans have nicknamed, Pink Tool because the songs pull the listener in with mesmerizing melodies, reminiscent of Pink Floyd, and break loose with the aggressiveness of Tool. On stage, semifreak is energetic, professional, and refreshingly entertaining. In the studio, they are clever and resourceful. Back stage and out of the spotlight, the band is dependable and responsive.
They are an impressive group and their music wins fans whether it is experienced live at a gig or from listening to their debut release, 8 O’clock Fix. This promising, full-length CD is diverse, yet focused, and like semifreak’s live show, keeps the attention of audiences. While seeking representation, the band is going to support the recording with dates throughout the western region of the United States. The semifreak website (www.semifreak.com) is gaining popularity and will also prove helpful in moving product.
Billy Coffey on drums and Brian Rosenberg on bass, provide semifreak with the perfect rhythm section for the band’s diverse style. Gary Montoya, the guitar player, brings great skills and interestingly unique tones which set semifreak apart from other bands. The singer, Roarke Pulcino has a dynamic personality, which is represented musically through his in-your-face vocals. Gary and Roarke are the predominant songwriters, while Brian and Billy make invaluable contributions to realize a work’s real character. The magic happens when all four players are unified in sound and soul; for then they are truly entertaining to experience.
This band intends on achieving success from having a quality product, some creative marketing, a sense of humor, and a strong willingness to persist. Throughout their individual musical careers, the four men who are semifreak have faced, overcome, and learned from triumphs and adversity. With continued response elicited from the CD and live performances, they are sure to receive the positive and negative press necessary to propel them forward. Once in the eyes of the music consuming public, semifreak should prove to be timeless due to their honor of the old and respect for the new.
