Cross Town on Versailles Records "Glory Rock Vol. 1 & 2" due out mid-November Nationally!

Davey Pattison and Cross Town submitted their new recording of POINT OF VIEW to Jacob Brown of Versailles Records for their upcoming Double CD Compilation Album titled "Glory Rock Vol. 1 & 2". Now, we've been asked to submit another song as well, giving us two songs on the new release, targeted for marketing to the Christian Rock Radio and various affiliations and entities who air and stream Christian Rock genre material. Our second choice is the ONLY song to ever out-perform "POINT OF VIEW" everywhere it was aired, posted or submitted in competition; "TO DIE FOR ME". "To Die For Me" outdistanced Point Of View by a ratio of 2.5 to 1 overall in streaming, downloads and all competitions where BOTH songs were entered. If you want to hear the NEW "POINT OF VIEW" Title Track featuring Davey Pattison, just click HERE!

Davey Pattison was brought over from his native Scotland by invitation of Bill Graham specifically to front the Arena Rock band GAMMA, which featured Ronnie Montrose, Glenn Letsch and other luminaries of the Hard Rock scene! Davey also released two solo albums; "MISSISSIPPI NIGHTS" and "PICTURES", both available from his Official Website and soon to be available from Alethea Records Online Store for IUDC Artists. Davey is most recently known for his work with Michael Schenker in the "PATTISON SCHENKER SUMMIT" releases of "THE NEVERENDING JAM" and "THE NEVERENDING JAM Continues" and MOST notably as the incredible voice fronting ROBIN TROWER since the mid 1980's!

A more soulful blues singer you will not find currently performing world tours fronting legendary Blues/Rock Arena bands! Through the kindness of Derek Sutton (Robin's Manager here in the States) introduced Davey to Cross Town's music, and Davey and Dave Van Kleeck hit it off from the start! They are continuing on with additional projects in the works to be released through Alethea Records and possibly other labels.

Cross Town played Friday night April 7th, at The Clubhouse Music Venue in Tempe, Arizona. Cross Town gave a solid performance that lasted about 45 minutes. Performing songs from their Current CD "POINT OF VIEW" and covering two Rock Classics by Robin Trower, "Too Rolling Stoned" and "Bridge Of Sighs", in front of an enthusiastic, diverse and appreciative crowd.

Five bands, chosen by the Emergenza International Music Festival, enjoyed the opportunity to play for a select audience comprised of each other's fans as well as their own. These bands promoted themselves and their peers in an "all-for-all" kind of approach that benefited the concert-goers as much as the bands themselves.

Coming in FIRST PLACE was the clear favorite of the evening - Musical Fusion - who played last that night. CONGRATS to this very deserving Band! 2nd place was The TJ and Chad Duo, who played second that night and was the only band to include a Brass section - Sax and Trombone - very COOL! TJ played on after blowing a string out on his guitar like a Seasoned Pro! Well done! 4th Place went to Moral Abyss, who started the evening off with a blistering set of Metal Core. Cross Town came in 3rd Place, out of 5 bands total to play that night, and we've got to say that with the competition as stiff as it was we are grateful we made it into the Top 3. Though the audience was smaller than expected, the crowd made up for it in sheer energy, applauding and shouting their approval for every band that took the stage, louder still for their own choices, of course!

We are all moving on to the EMERGENZA SEMI-FINALS now, starting in May 2006, right back at The Clubhouse in Tempe! Cross Town will perform June 8, 2006 at 9:00PM, Tickets for our show will be available Tuesday, April 11, 2006 from this Website and other Internet locations, as well as from the band, record label and management company!

We thank ALL OF YOU who came out and voted for us! We thank EVERYONE who voted for ANY Band that night. By working together, we are helping to promote & support the entire local Arizona Music Scene.

We want to give special thanks to some very special people who made this night memorable and enabled us to take some tangible memories with us after the show!

bulletJohn, Bob and David want to thank ALL their Family, Friends and Fans for coming out in support of us and the local Arizona Music Scene!
bulletSPECIAL THANKS go to some VERY SPECIAL FIRST TIME GUESTS!:
bulletBob Herder's Mom Diane, a highly respected Hollywood Ad Executive, who saw her son in concert for the very first time!
bulletJohn Perry's Son Robbie and Daughter Leah, who saw their dad in concert for the very first time!

bulletDavid's "Big Brother" Lou Olivieri and Barb, along with their family and friends, who saw Dave and Cross Town in concert for the very first time!
bulletVERY SPECIAL THANKS go to Callie (Dave's wife) for her incredible contribution to the evening's success! Callie not only coordinated the itinerary behind the scenes, she also arranged for some GREAT rooms at the Wyndham Buttes where we hung out and had an incredible meal before taking the stage! Callie took care of all the arrangements; from Security of the band equipment, parking at the venue (with help from a VERY Special Friend), keeping track of all our Guests and still finding time and energy to help load in AND load out and even grab some photos of the show! That woman is PRICELESS - and she's MINE!
bulletSPECIAL THANKS go to Mark Van Kleeck for video taping the performance for us that night and providing personal security for the band. Mark is an accomplished Martial Artist and Instructor here in Phoenix, with a great class for female and child Self-Defense Instruction - by Special Appointment Only! Can't wait to see the film and make some clips for the Websites, Bro! Mark also did TRIPLE duty that night by helping us break down and load out at the end of our performance! Mark, if we go on Tour, YOU'VE GOT THE JOB! Oh, and of COURSE we'll pay you!!
bulletSPECIAL THANKS also go to Donna (Mark's wife) for getting some pictures of the show! We'll post them as soon as we get them from you! Great Job, Sis! We are SO glad you were there!
bulletA GREAT BIG THANKS and HUGS go to Breck for coming out to the show, in spite of his incredibly busy schedule, and especially for his encouragement before, during and after the show! Breck is quite an accomplished and sought after Artist of many mediums, his credits extend way back into the 70's and are as varied as his talents! Thanks for the X-Files book, Bro, I LOVE it! And CALL MARTY HERDER! He needs your Unique Artistic abilities ASAP!
bulletVery Special Thanks go to Jerry Mathies of METRON STUDIOS for the remote recording of our performance for Alethea Records! Can't wait to check the playback! Jerry also took a few pictures of us that night, which we have posted HERE.
bulletFrom David and Callie Van Kleeck personally, and from Cross Town et al, we extend our HUMBLE GRATITUDE, THANKS and A BIGG BAND HUGG to Derek Sutton of Stardust Enterprises, Inc., for coming all the way from Los Angeles, California to catch our show and hang out with us! Derek is quite busy with the planning of Robin Trower's 2006 USA Tour, but he made time for us and we can't thank him enough for his wonderful dinner stories, timely wisdom and "Fatherly" advice and help - even to standing his imposing 6' 4" athletic frame alongside my petite but determined wife, Callie, as together they reserved a space for the lead vehicle at the venue! There are millions of musicians, hackers and players, but there will ever be ONLY ONE Derek Sutton and we are eternally thankful to know him and call him our friend!
bulletKudos to Nick, the Coordinator from Emergenza, who had his hands full doing 3 jobs by himself - and doing them very well in spite of being sick! That's Show Biz!
bulletAlso a Big Thanks to Matt, the Engineer behind the Sound and Light Board. Everyone knows that the guys running the sound equipment and seeing to the lights can make the difference between just "seeing a show" and enjoying a musical "Experience"!
bulletFinally, SINCERE THANKS to Joe, the owner of The Clubhouse, for providing such a great place for bands to play and for fans of ALL AGES to be entertained! A little F.Y.I. here for you, we had a chance to hear Joe behind the drum set prior to the official "Sound Check" and that was a treat! Now there is a man who can play the drums! I listened to over 10 minutes of inspired, proficient drumming that ran the scope of styles without one single mistake or dropped stick. If you get a chance to see Joe play, treat yourself to it.
