Love Parade CD Release Show

Release the Love Parade! The sound is a mellow melody mixed with mean guitar riffs and psychedelic rock. If you’d like to hear a distorted version of Mika, Robbie Williams or James Blunt, you will find Love Parade irresistible. The band was originally formed by Jason Sallese in Fredonia in 2002 as a recording project, drawing in veterans of Gym Class Heroes, League and Standfast. Members split to work on other projects, then in 2004 the group reformed to work on a new record. Inside Rooms Outside Boxes was completed in January 2006 and followed with Love Parade getting gigs opening for Rogue Wave, Oakley Hall, Page France and Extra Golden, among others. The newest LP, All Together Now, a self-release that’s wrapping up production at the time of this writing, will be unveiled at this weekend’s show. Joining Love Parade for their CD release celebration will be New York City’s Aloke, and local acts La Cacahouette and Nick Gordon kick off the night.

Saturday, March 1 at 10pm. Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St. (855-3931/mohawkplace.com). $5.
