Formed in the Spring of '04 Art of Ill Fusion has quickly gained national touring experience and spread themselves through the festival circuit. The music can be described as Funk, Jazz, n Reggae, all mixed with Progressive rock jams and crisp lyrical content. Art of Ill Fusion has headlined Winterfest, FusionFest, The Demoine music fest called The Briar Patch. Art of Ill Fusion also had their own two night stand for the 4th and 5th of July in Baltimore, MD all in the last year and continually look to branch out to more and more venues. The highlight of the summer was heading up with members from Umphrey's McGee, moe., Groovatron, Hot Buttered Rum, Rays Music Exchange, The Station and several others for the Superjam at Summercamp.
NEW NEW NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With several more shows under their belt, the focus has been on rehearsing their live show. They have acquired some of the highest touted musicians to ever play in the Central Illinois area. With the abrupt exit by James(Bass), they grabbed up Mike Lee of Freudian Press, Bonanza Jellybean/Rochness Monster fame. He has quickly become the rock foundation that the fusion Machine rides on. Brian Railey from Squib Potential on Percussion and vocals has also recently joined in the groove. Also they first had Rusty Hall, who has played with too many people to name, on keys and now Kim Thomas one of Rusty's musical offspring taking his place while he tours abroad with Benard Allison. The addition of these musicians, truly has made AIF an All-star line up and represents a complete time line of the Peoria music scene.
Ill Fusion All Stars Reggae Band now available for bookings
With the huge success of the 1st annual Reggae on the Riverfront, Dan, James and Railey have decided to invite Troy Lahood(Blue Magoo) on drums and Mike Miller(Easy Riders) guitar to play full time in a Reggae band format. They will be available for booking immeadiately and will be filling the demand for the shows that we have not been able to play due to the scheduling conflict with sharing members of Brainchild, as well as several of next years Reggae Festivals. They also will be releasing a DVD that is now available for 8$ and a live cd for 5$, both from Reggae on the Riverfront July 26th 2008. We will also be starting to write all new materail for this project as well as continue to play the old AIF reggae spanning the last five years. AIF will still be playing the same amount of shows that we have been as well as the Hip Hop Project will be doing our thing as well. Thanks, D. Mill.
