ROCK: Progressive Rock, ROCK: Classic Rock
Details:
The band was put together in 1998 with founding members Mark Flickinger, guitar/lead vocals, Robert Treat, drums/electronic drums/percussion/backing vocals, Paul Miller, bass/lead vocals. The goal of the band was to put together an all original band with a King''s X meets Moody Blues style sound. With their own mix of rock, progressive, blues, jazz, and fusion.
The next two years set the stage for developing original songs and putting together a plan to play live shows. The project took a slight turn when Paul decided that the Lord had other plans for him on his journey and decided to leave the band in 2001. Mark and Robert decided to continue with the project and began writing and arranging more songs. They tossed around the idea of either finding another bass player or just use pre-recorded bass tracks. They decided to try and find another bass player.
They held auditions for bass players, in the fall of 2001. They finally decided to bring Kent Zullo into the mix. He brought his own style and it worked well with what Mark and Robert were creating. Soon after, the band picked up a management team to help get them gigs.
After getting Kent up to speed, they began working on even more new material. They played the Italian Music Festival in Harrisburg in the spring of 2002. They also opened for the progressive instrumental band "Piranha Red." They were also involved in the 2003 Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA.
In the spring of 2003, the band decided to depart from their management team and create their own management/recording company.
The band has just finished recording their first full length CD, "Lion in Winter," and had the blessing of Ty Tabor of King''s X perform the final mastering of the disc. Basic Luther is currently working on the final production of a CD/DVD combo.
The CD has been reviewed by: Minister/Radio DJ - Christopher L. Thomas of 720AM, the Rock...he had this to say about the album: "If you haven''t heard the music ministry of "Basic Luther," get ready for a true blessing in Christian music that relates to both Christian and secular music lovers of all ages. Armed with the message of Jesus Christ ministered through anointed lyrics, strong bass lines, guitar solos and tight drum tracks and testimony; Basic Luther is one of the best kept secrets in Central PA. The music of Basic Luther will be an asset to any radio rotation/format or musical showcase."
Over all, many doors are being opened to the band and there is a lot of things on the band''s horizon, which they realize were only possible due to the Lord''s grace and direction. The message that the band wants to put across is how much the Lord loves the people of the world as well as a positive message of how to get over the hurdles of life...with the Lord''s help.
The band will always push forward for the pursuit of the truth......
