0 Inspiration Isn't Cheap...1st Headlining Show, Sept.19th

By no means am I the type of guy to listen to rock music, especially if it involves any kind of hardcore instruments and distortion through the microphone by screaming. I would rather go with the Fall Out Boy, Green Day style (bands that I respect, still don’t listen to them :P). But about 2 months ago, I was in the car with Anthony Kile who is the keyboardist and vocalist of a local band named Inspiration Isn’t Cheap. We got to talking about using music samples and how he uses the FL Studio with their music. As a former “beatmaker” (all jokes aside), I was definitely interested in this. He popped in some new tracks that the band had just finished up and the first track he played was the popular, Starting In The Cracks That We Fall Through. Now I’ve already heard of these dudes through school and other events that they performed at, but I’ve never actually sat down to listen to one of their songs completely.
After I heard their new song, I realized that this is a band that WILL be going places. Like I already told you I don’t do the rock thing, but as I’m analyzing their music, it’s was hard to catch me not bobbing my head. These guys have style and as much as I think that all rock music sounds the same, I think I could listen to these guys and recognize that they’re Inspiration Isn’t Cheap.
This arsenal of gifted musicians include Anthony Kile on keys and vocals, Matt Pacioni on vocals and guitar, Peter Schreve on guitar, Evan Broske on the drums and Andrew Krisniski on the bass. I’m not in the studio with these guys, so I don’t know how their chemistry is as they’re working on a song together. What I do know is that however they work in the studio, it will always result in something good and that’s why I previously said that they WILL be going somewhere.
Inspiration Isn’t Cheap aren’t your typical basement band that get no love. For over 2 ½ years, IIC have been in full throttle in getting recognized and creating a name for themselves (Anthony joined about a year or so ago). They’ve performed shows all over the metro area and they’ve captured many fans from all around the country. The band has already performed with the bigger bands who serve as influences to them, such as We Came As Romans, Miss May I, Attack Attack and I See Stars. And even as dead as MySpace is nowadays, their page just continues to get hits from people all around the web. This just goes to show that they remain persistent in getting signed and will not rest until it occurs. They already understand the reality of signing big time contract with a label, so they don’t depend on this as their future. They will go as far as they can take themselves and right now, they’re taking themselves to new levels as they get more experienced. So don’t look at this group as a bunch of teenagers who sing for fun and popularity.
These dudes are serious and I don’t see any reason why they won’t have any type of success later on down the road. They’ve already been successful in promoting themselves with t-shirts, barn shows, openings, etc.
In saying that, Inspiration Isn’t Cheap has come this far to earn their 1st headlining show on September 19, 2009. This show will be held at the Temple in Detroit, Michigan off of Gratiot. This will be one of the more anticipated shows from the band because it’s such a big gig…still, it’s nothing to these guys. So those interested in the Inspiration Isn’t Cheap headlining show, its $10.
