We'll be playing live October 23rd at The GoggleWorks Boscov Theater venue!
This is the semi-legendary "IlluXcon Jam," where, in addition to straight-up Weathercocks performances, we host and play with guest performers who are mostly other artists. The show is open to all IX Arts attendees. Follow the link for art show tickets!
Mark Zug has been playing lead guitar since 1982 in a garage band. However, the pull to become a freelance illustrator was greater and Zug has made his living as a self-employed artist in the fantasy and science fiction genre for over 30 years.
Mark's virtuosic and intuitive abilities on the electric guitar are fairly supernatural. He is also the sound engineer and recording expert for our originals, adding a great deal of experience to the arrangement of the song material.
Influences: Rush, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Kansas, Jethro Tull, Porcupine Tree
Kristin Kest is the lead singer, keyboardist and bassist for the band. Kristin's background in music started with piano lessons when she was 10 from an aunt who was a concert pianist and opera singer. Kest brings her inner marching band geek and theater set design experience to bear on the group's aesthetic for the composing and writing of original music.
Kest is a freelance artist -- illustrator and ceramist. She is formerly a college professor of Illustration.
Influences: Tori Amos, The Police, The Cure, E.L.O., The Moody Blues, Queen
Eric Winter started playing piano at an early age and spent most of his years with electronic keyboards as his primary musical instrument. Over the past decade he has been pursuing a previously untapped interest in various forms of acoustic and electronic drums and percussion. His current profession as an "IT Guy" along with the years in the world of MIDI and synthesized music have naturally lead him towards the use of electronic drums as his instrument of choice when working in a band setting. While primarily using customary drum sounds he likes to mix things up by using different virtual drum pieces to fit the mood of a particular song.
Influences: Kansas, Spock's Beard, Eddie Jobson, Dream Theater, Pat Metheny
We are musicians who enjoy composing and writing new material

-- but we also love rocking out on the classic prog music, usually with our own twist or mashup.
We've always got our eyes peeled for a venue that doesn't shy away from hiring a louder band. So, uh... no, we aren't playing any acoustic stuff. So, if you love the same thing we do, let's work together. Contact us with possible gigs. Venues within the south central PA region would be ideal. Our gig fee starts at $450.
And if you know us and live locally, now you know that we have regular practice days and welcome you to come and hang out with us on the patio while we jam. Email us for details.
