Hi Nate Morton, if you, or someone you know, will be in Los Angeles this Fri (7/16, 8:30pm), come check out a free concert by Ed Roth on the outdoor stage at Universal CityWalk featuring drummer, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)! Come out & enjoy some great music!!!
Thanks for your support of the last NLO concert the photos are now viewable on our myspace site. We are currently mixing the last 6 songs on our 17 track project. Look for it in stores in December 2009
Hi Nate Morton. EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs make its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out! Thanks a lot for the attention and support. Keep in touch.
Kisses from Brazil, Marie
[Brazilian M£TAL]
