   About The Demon Beat
From deep between the hushed hilltops of West Virginia, comes a rag-tag trio of sharply dressed men with a predilection for volume and a passion for Rock & Roll. The Demon Beat have been busy making craters in local bars, clubs, and basements- blowing minds and resurrecting a brand of musical honesty and aural aggression that has lain dormant for decades. "I thought people forgot how to play Rock & Roll." -a sound guy at a barn (in reference to the Demon Beat's performance.) The Demon Beat deliver a refreshingly taut mix of Jordan Hudkins' boisterous rhythms, the tenacious assault of Tucker Riggleman's gut-pummeling basslines, and the scathingly acerbic, yet thick and mellow guitar work of Adam Meisterhans- who delivers his vocals with the dry wit and literary prowess of a second-year English studies drop-out.

Exorcism - Sat Nov 7

Exorcism Indianapolis



Nov 5 2009 10:16 AM

Saturday November 7 at The Vollrath Tavern, Indianapolis

With an assembly that includes members of Ministry (Warner Bros.) and Thrill Kill Kult (Rykodisc), it's obvious project .44 has a firm grasp on the aggro/industrial/tek metal scene. Hailing from the industrial/tek-metal capital of Chicago, where pioneers like Ministry paved the way for recent grads like Static-X, project .44 continues the tradition of Chicago's knack for mixing pulverizing guitar licks with catchy dance beats. It is the forging experience that Louis Svitek (Ministry) provides when laying down the tracks that the band transfers to the stage explicitly and explosively.

Also dance all night to resident DJs Copper Top, Zlaya, Krazy Karoline

Hey guys! I've started posting songs to The WV Scene Playlist, but need the help of all the WV Area bands to decide how the Playlists should be done. I'd really appreciate it if you took part in the poll I've posted on The WV Scene myspace page. After all this is a site meant to look after the best interests of the artists whether they be professional or just beginning. (Be sure to add our activity stream so that we can better communicate what it is we're trying to do).

Hey everyone! It's about time to post some of your tunes on The WV Scene Playlist... Until I come up with a better system I'll post the songs of the first ten bands who respond and I'm planning on including a wide variety of styles on the list. Thanks so much! (I won't be posting a song from my own band till later since this site isn't set up to promote my own self interests).
