VOML Tour 2009 Conclusion - Philadelphia, PA
So, the last date of the 2009 tour dates for the band comes to an end in the most curious of places - an in-store performance at the Digital Ferret/Isolation Tank store in Philly. I was intrigued by this night as it was something new to me, and was probably the best low-key way to finish the year's live date schedule.
I had to change things up a little bit as far as the backing band, as all of the other guys ended up coming into other commitments that sprung up after we agreed to play this show, so I ended up putting forth a special treat - the first appearance by one of the original Interface members in over 12 years by Michael Anthony "Angztek" Cummings! Mike's story with the band back in those days is for another day, but I was glad to help an old friend get out on stage again and shake off over a decade of rust.
The other act, Revue Noir, is on Projekt and featured an appearance by the label's Sam Rosenthal (of Black Tape for a Blue Girl fame). Quite the opposite of us musically! My many thanks go out to Dean and Joe of the store for putting this forth and for having the band perform. It was quite a blast to play in an environment like that! I also have to thank Ilyssa aka DJ Totentanz for taking a bunch of photos and video (as well as some fun freestyling during Body Flow). In return I helped put in a good word to get her a guest spot at a club up here in the near future.
The show: 11/20/09 at Digital Ferret Philly
The backing band: Mike Angztek from The Illustrious Weapons of Benevolence on synths and Rachel from Kronik Kondition on guest vocals
- Entry / Voices (Mono)

Performing at the store... "Attention shoppers!"
Don't you want your own stuffed animal of a staph infection?
Rachel from Kronik Kondition joined me for "Voices", "Destination", and "City Limits".
Mike had a blast re-appearing on stage with Interface for the first time since the spring of 1998.
