Dustin Milotte: The Heat is on at The Preservation Pub
This quintet from Murfreesboro, TN has been making routine stops in Knoxville for the last year gaining a small but loyal following for their brand of progressive rock. With influences ranging from the old school (Yes, King Crimson, Rush…) to the new school (moe., Umphrey’s McGee…) the boys have truly developed a sound of their own. To go along with the grit and complex rhythms that come with the prog rock territory The Heat adds in their love of the jamband scene utilizing genre fusion and improvisational segues that might send you on a Bonnaroo flashback. Check out their myspace page for a glimpse at their freshly released self-titled debut. Consisting of Ray Dunham (drums, vox), Jeremy Pinell (guitar, vox), Keegan Pavlovic (bass), Rob Knugg (keys), and John Turner (guitar) the Incredible Heat Machine’s five members all carry important roles uniting each layer of sound into a true musical democracy. A must see for all music lovers in town. Saturday’s show kicks off a 10 p.m. so come early, stay late and dress lightly as it’s sure to be a hot one.
