ArtBeats Cafe' in El Dorado has certainly risen to the fore as far as hosting live music is concerned here in South Arkansas. They've brought in every sort of music from acoustic performances & experimental to ambiance. It has crossed genre boundaries time & time again with it's invited performers, offering up a veritable cornucopia of musical styles.
This Friday night, they delve into the world of hard-rock as they welcome back local 4-pc STONING CAIN. This group seemingly appeared out of nowhere a few months back when they took second place overall out of 14 bands, and the People's Choice Award at the 2007 El Dorado Battle of the Bands back in May. In reality, this group had been behind the scenes for well over a year...practicing, developing original material, and basically establishing chemistry between the members.
Stylistically, this act fuses retro-style hard rock influences with elements of grunge, and at times, experimental & funk...always tied together with a driving low-end, and heavy back beat.
Their originals are very well constructed, and when asked how they arrived at these eclectic combinations in their music, the band's reply was, "We don't really differentiate between genres, & styles when it comes to what we consider to be good music. If it appeals to us, then we believe there'll be others who will enter into it as well." So far, this perspective has served them well in their efforts, as they have certainly garnered quite a loyal following in this area... as indicated by the numbers at their shows.
With opportunities outside of El Dorado already knocking at the door...it's a sure bet that STONING CAIN will soon have the chance to share that perspective, and to test that premise around the Ark-La-Tx region and beyond.
Come out this weekend, and support this up & coming local act on the rise as they rock the house at ArtBeats Cafe'!
