In a music world dominated by auto-tuned vocals, programmed drum beats, and over-choreographed, lip-synced “live” performances, bands such as POETIC TRAGEDY are a rarity. As part of the “neo-classic rock” scene currently dominating New York, these indie-rockers arose in response to the often-posed question, “What ever happened to bands like Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd?”
POETIC TRAGEDY creates raw, melodic, memorable songs by combining the intellectual curiosity of the Beatles, the infinite energy of The Doors, the simplistic guitar riffs of The Strokes, and the quirkiness of Franz Ferdinand to create a distinctly unique and instantly memorable sound that reinterprets classic rock for a new generation.
Composed of Matt Lopez on guitars and lead vocals, Roy Weinberger on Drums and Vocals, Nick Arettines on Lead Guitars, Kareem on Bass, Erin Daly on Alto Vocals, Julie Eve on Soprano Vocals, and Rafael Carrasquillo ..boards. The astronimicaly dynamic sounding band finds inspiration not only in the music of their forefathers, but also in the way in which legends such as Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix questioned the establishment and looked at the world through a cynical eye.
This old-school approach to the music is catching on quickly, as POETIC TRAGEDY has already played for crowds numbering in the thousands. With prestigious gigs such as the main stage at New York City’s “The Knitting Factory” already under their belts, word is getting out rapidly. When asked about the immediate success of the group, lead singer, Matt Lopez explains, “It’s all about having fun and meeting the needs of our fans, while staying true to ourselves and letting people know we’re just beginning to shake things up.”
Where the future of POETIC TRAGEDY is concerned, look for the release of their sophmore yet to be titled full-length LP, around September of 2009, most likely going to be their major label debut. The band has all agreed that the yet to be recorded songs for this record are at least 10 times better then "Twilight On The Dawn Of Madness" the first made for internet markets debut album.
