UPDATE - 11/5@7:31AM: We have a winner! Joe R from Cuyahoga Falls will be the recipient of 2 tickets to the show. Congrats! For anybody else going, I still have plenty of promo CDs to give out. Just let me know if you can make the show.

This Saturday, November 8th Detroit-based progressive rockers Tiles will be playing at the Phantasy Concert Club in Lakewood, OH just west of Cleveland. Tiles' most recent album Fly Paper has a number of Rush connections. Alex Lifeson plays on the track Sacred and Mundane, the album was produced by Terry Brown, and Hugh Syme did the album art in addition to playing keyboards on 2 tracks. I interviewed guitarist Chris Herin and Terry Brown regarding the album back in February. Also on Saturday's bill will be a couple of other Cleveland-area progressive rock bands; The Rick Ray Band and Slick Flux. I will be at the show and if you are in the Cleveland area I hope you can make it too. I have 2 FREE tickets to giveaway as well as several promo CDs. I'll give the tickets to the first person who emails me (you must be in the Cleveland area, we can work out a time/place to pick them up). If you can come please let me know and I'll give you a promo CD along with a RIAB bumper sticker at the show (while supplies last). Cleveland State radio station WCSB 89.3 is promoting the show and will be playing songs from Tiles and the supporting bands on DJ Keith Miller's radio show which airs tomorrow from 1-3PM. They'll also be doing some ticket giveaways. Here's the video for the Alex Lifeson collaboration track Sacred & Mundane:
