BRAND X reunites at Newton Theatre

Newton — With demand around the world to see them back in action, jazz-rock-fusion legend BRAND X reunites at The Newton Theatre on Sunday, October 30 at 8 p.m.. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 2 at 10 a.m.
BRAND X will perform material from their first three albums - Unorthodox Behaviour, Moroccan Roll, and Livestock.
BRAND X are recognized as true musical pioneers, as they helped create an entire musical genre and influenced a broad spectrum of musicians and bands, from Phish to Dream Theatre. They are unrivaled in their creativity, originality and approach. Their contemporaries include bands such as Weather Report, Headhunters, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jaco Pastorious and Chick Corea, all crafting a unique blend of jazz, rock, and ethnic influences now widely known by fans worldwide as fusion. Many claim it's BRAND X's unique combination of masterful chops mixed with their youthful melodies that make them so special.
After years of rumors of a potential reunion, it is finally happening. Three of the four main members came together recently in New York, and according to sources present at the rehearsals, listening to them play was “...like traveling back in time to the legendary 'Livestock' album – there was no question this was BRAND X! Their sound was uncannily identical to the BRAND X of 'Livestock' – and that in itself speaks volumes.”
Original band members include John Goodsall (guitar) who says, “It's a better version now. We’re all a lot more experienced – a lot more skilled… And that goes for every one of us.”, Percy Jones (bass) who feels “This music takes us back to a certain space – which was really cool. I wasn't sure I’d ever feel that feeling again – and yet here it is!”, and Kenwood Dennard (drums) saying “When we used to play this music, it felt eternal. We used to get into a zone where it felt so deep. Now that's exactly how it felt again.”
The other two band members are Chris Clark (keyboards) and Scott Weinberger (percussionist).
