KASHMIR THE LED ZEPPELIN SHOW SAT. FEB. 17TH 7:45PM ALL AGES SHOW

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

Kashmir was formed in late 2001, after guitarist Frank Livingston decided to form a show based on substance and feel rather than just "fitting the suit". "It is important to look the part, but way too often tribute bands seem to forget that without the sound, the look does nothing". KASHMIR is a very entertaining show bringing only the best of LED ZEPPELIN to their fans. KASHMIR seeks to re-create the experience of a 70's Zeppelin show utilizing authentic vintage stage gear, costumes, and special effects, with great attention to detail in a non pretentious way.

Castle Autoplex Main Stage 1208 Green Street, McHenry, IL, United States

UNHEALTHY MECHANISMS is the caustic sophomore album from Arizona death-crusters GO AHEAD AND DIE. A torrential whirlwind born from the livid minds of Igor Amadeus Cavalera (HEALING MAGIC) and Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY). This new installment to the band’s dystopian catalog is a fresh dive into the madness of society and
the pollution that ravages our minds. From the first note there is a sense of unhinged insanity; a grim rhythm that takes listeners down sinister alleyways and across ravaged soundscapes.
