The Alluminati

Artist Information

Biography

THE ALLUMINATI is a prime example of how top notch musicians somehow seem to find one another. All four members of this rock/metal act reside from Western Pennsylvania, and they are: Kyle Cameron on lead guitar/lead vocals, Nick Tercek on drums/vocals, Jordan Tomb on guitar, and Nate Blose on bass guitar. The sound of The Alluminati; although hard to pinpoint, is a combination of pulverizing drums, ripping dual guitars, pounding bass, and vocals that range from alt-rock to hardcore. Since the band's formation in August 2006, they have already become one of the area's top draws with over 60 shows under their belt, over 36,000 song plays on myspace, and over 140,000 hits on their website.
They have also played with national acts such as

The Panic Channel(Capitol records!)
Mark Rizzo from Soulfly
Bobaflex(TVT records)
Flaw(Universal reocrds!)
Lennex
The Ataris(isola recordings/sanctuary records)
Olympia(equalvision)
Silent Drive(equalvision)
FC Five (roadrunner Japan!!)
SOiL (J records/RCA records)

The Rock For Life and Gigaroo festivals (just outside of Pittsburgh).
The radio community is also embracing The Alluminati; with stations like Pittsburgh's Clear channel’s WXDX 105.9 theX, Altoona's 94.3 and 94.7 FM, Indiana's WIUP 90.1 FM and Pirate Nation Online Radio all giving The Alluminati serious air-time.

They have progressed two notches in confidence and power since I previously saw them several months ago. Second guitarist Jordan really fills out the sound and adds to the stage show. The hardcore vocals are a great addition. The Pantera cover was awesome and the new song before it was brilliant and showed they are starting to develop a much more advanced musical style and voice. A band to catch.

  Garage bands in high school come and go quickly; however, every so often there is one that sticks...Garage bands in high school
  come and go quickly; however,
  every so often there is one that
  sticks. The Alluminati is one of
  those bands.
  “The Alluminati is different
  from other high school bands
  because of how we pride ourselves
  on being
  perfect when we
  play and how we
  try to be as professional
  as possible. Also, we
  put a lot of time and money into
  our band which is something
  that not many other high school
  bands do,” said member Jordan
  Tomb.
  Originally started at Indiana
  Area Senior High School in 2004
  as Faultline, The Alluminati consists
  of senior Kyle Cameron
  (lead guitar and lead vocals),
  senior Nate Blose (bass), junior
  Jordan Tomb (rhythm guitar),
  and a 2005 graduate of Conemaugh
  High School, Nick Tercek
  (drums and backup vocals). The
  band was originally made up of
  Cameron, Blose and 2005 IHS
  graduate BJ Rudd. Cody Sheppard
  is another former member.
  Cameron explained that the
  band’s name, The Alluminati,
  comes from Illuminati, a group
  of philosophers that dates back
  to the 1700s.
  The guys say that they are most
  influenced by groups such as
  Black Sabbath, Bullet For My
  Valentine and Killswitch Engage.
  Band member Kyle Cameron
  said, “The Alluminati is different
  because it mixes many different
  genres into one unique sound.”
  Cameron, who tests the music
  out with Tercek before it is played
  by the band, writes most of the
  band’s music. The duo also collaborates
  on lyrics. The members
  get together to practice once or
  twice a week, but practices are
  held more often over the summer
  when the guys have more
  free time.
  “Basically, the band comes before
  everything else,” said Blose.
  The group recently recorded an
  album in Hilton Head, S.C., and
  also recorded music in
  Cameron’s garage.
  “We have full recording capabilities
  (in his garage). It sounds
  even better than the earlier
  recording in South Carolina,”
  said Cameron.
  They have played with national
  acts such as Marc Rizzo (from
  Soulfly), Bobaflex, Flaw and
  Lennex.
  Recently, The Alluminati was
  handpicked to open for The
  Panic Channel, a band consisting
  of Dave Navarro (former
  member of Jane’s Addiction, The
  Red Hot Chili Peppers, and exhusband
  of Carmen Electra),
  Stephen Perkins (of Jane’s Addiction),
  Chris Chaney and Steve
  Isaacs.
  Blose said that the most exciting
  part of being in the band so
  far was “opening for The Panic
  Channel at Mr. Small’s (in Pittsburgh).”
  The band also recently made
  the final cut of 12 out of 120+
  bands to compete in the second
  round of the Winter Rock Showcase
  Contest at the Hard Rock
  Café in Pittsburgh. They won the
  judges’ vote, but lost the most
  popular vote.
  In addition, The Alluminati recently
  won the Battle of the
  Bands sponsored by the SADD
  Club at Indiana Area Senior High
  School.
  When asked what was the best
  part about being in the band,
  Tomb said, “It’s fun being around
  people who enjoy doing the
  same thing as me, and I like talking
  to people after we play and
  seeing their reactions.”
  Cameron said, “I don’t think I
  could not be in a band. I love
  music, playing, and performing.”
  Blose said that “playing for
  people every weekend” was his
  favorite part about being in the
  band.
  The band’s future goals include
  playing in various shows along
  the East Coast this summer.
  Cameron said, “We’ll contact
  promoters who organize shows
  along the East Coast. Basically it’s
  making a million phone calls
  hoping to get in a certain show.”
  The guys are fortunate to have
  support from their parents to
  help achieve their ambitions.

I got their Demo CD and thought it was really good, but to see them live... wow! I kept telling myself that these were young guys and haven't been doing this that long.. but if I didn't know that already, I'd have sworn they were this this forever and a day. They were AWESOME! I wish they'd have been able to play longer. I'd have loved to see them play a longer set. Seemed like the entire crowd loved them as well. I was right up in the front, middle, too. :-)
  
  Definitely check out these guys. Someday they'll hit it BIG and *I* can say I knew them way back when.
  
  I'll definitely see these guys again and they have a full CD coming out soon and you can bet your ass I'll have one and I'll buy my kids one too!
  
  They are awesome. I can't say that enough. lol And cute as hell too.
  
  Also :
  Wow, there is just so much stuff runnin through my brain that i dont even know where to start...
  
  Sunday we went to Mr.Small's theatre to see some local bands play and it was pretty good. I liked The Distortion and The Allumanati. Brenda's husband works with one of the kids in the band's dad so he got us some tickets to see them. I was amazed by this band. I think someone said they are all like 17 but they are fucking awesome. Go check them out on myspace. For all you local people the boys all go to Indiana High school so they are from our neck of the woods.
