"Bait cannons high trajectory" -A review of Bait’s New CD "Velocity Atrocity"
Velocity Atrocity, Bait's second installment of their "Traitor Odium Anthology", rips a gapping hole through convention while maintaining everything good in heavy music. Recorded at Yellow Dog Studios, with Dave Percefull co-producing (3 Days Grace, Bowling For Soup, Garth Brooks) and Mixed/Mastered by Derek Taylor at Milo Studios (Blue October, Bush, The Burden Brothers), Velocity Atrocity embodies a confidence and maturity few musicians ever manage to get on tape. "This is the most comfortable I have ever felt in the studio." Rhett Garcia (vocals) recalls. Bryan Parker (guitars) adds, "From song writing to actual recording, it was an amazing experience. Dave and Derek have really caught our vision. They get us."
Like their previous release ("Pull the Trigger"), Velocity Atrocity showcases both the diversity and energy that has made Bait a fan favorite for years. The songs are introspective and yet very universal. "I wrote "Inside" during a very difficult time in my life." Rhett Garcia (vocalist) explains. "It is about looking outside of yourself and realizing that the world is bigger than you."
"What passion, what ecstasy while chasing a dream." The opening line to "Tsunami" seems to define the attitude of Bait. Passionate, energetic and uncompromising Bait stands ready to dominate the hard rock scene. I suggest getting on board or getting out of the way.

What time is it? Wait...It's 5/4 time! Great songs guys! I expect great things from a band with that rhythm section! Jerry was a killer bass player almost 20 years ago when I first met him, and Trent has proven his skills on many, many gigs when I was lucky enough to play with him. I can't wait to hear more, thanks for kicking ass!
Your page is much better, guys. I can actually READ everything. Thanks so much for the C.D. I've yet to pick up my mail, but I do appreciate it. I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Hey guys if you are free, we hope you can come to the show!
Fresh off of the Kansas City KISS expo, where Mr Bruce Kulick sat in with DTK during a blistering set for hundreds of hard-core KISS fans, Dressed To Kill will play it's longest show in years!
This is a DTK show that goes LONGER, HARDER and DEEPER into the KISS catalog!
All the favorite KISS classics will be there, but in addition you will hear some broader set list selections as DTK performs a show nearly twice the length of a typical event! It is even rumored that they will break out into an unplugged mini-set before finishing up with a hard rocking stretch run.
There is only one club in Tulsa that can contain this unholy assault, and that is CJ Moloneys at 1849 S Aspen Ave Broken Arrow, OK.
Our friends Hot Trash starts the party at 8:45, and DTK takes the stage at 10:30
Order tickets on our myspace page today! They are $7 in advance or $10 at the door. The show WILL sell out, so advance tickets are highly recommended!
