History:
Carrying the torch of the great rock bands such as Guns ‘n Roses, the Foo Fighters, and U2 into the 21st century, comes New York’s own Liquid Carousel. With roaring guitars, lush harmonies, and commanding vocals imbedded into the roots of ROCK, Liquid Carousel is one of the pioneers of today’s emerging independent music scene. The band’s sound captures commercial accessibility augmented with smart songwriting and musical arrangements. They have had great success in the arena of cyberspace, building a extensive following through their homepage, myspace.com, and I-tunes where fans can connect with the band and access online content and material. Liquid Carousel has toured in support of their previous releases including such venues as B.B. King Blues Bar and the legendary CBCG in New York. The band also participates in a benefit for the NYC chapter of Meals on Wheels. The concert raises about $50,000 annually to aid in the fight against hunger. Their latest release entitled “…in a moment of clarity…” has garnered positive reviews and found acclaim by both music critics and fans of the band alike. Liquid Carousel has received radio airplay on several stations in the tri-state area, most notably Q 104.3 and 107.1 the peak in NY. Recently, the band returned from an appearance at HBO's United States Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado; and is currently booking both acoustic and electric dates for the summer of 2007.
