"Fantazzmo II:  Warpath" is Available Now!

The wait is over!  If you have not already heard "Warpath," get a free download for subscribing to our email list now through Dec 31, 2015 by clicking here

Warpath is comprised of 5 hard hitting, melodic tunes intended to satisfy the rocker in you!  

"Warpath" Play by Play

War Cry- is a hard hitting battle cry packed with great drumming and some memorable guitar lines.  My goal was to write an epic tune like Led Zeppelin's "Kasmir."  Of course, I came nowhere near my goal, but I am very happy with "War Cry;" it has replaced, "Fear In Me" as my favorite Fantazzmo tune.   

"War Cry" was the first song written for the Ep.  I came up with the original idea in 2011 and worked on it little by little until we finally put it to wax.  When discussing the approach to drum maniac, "Randy Cooke" I told him this tune is my Kasmir and one or two takes later, we had it!  

I Want You- has a heavy guitar riff that is a tribute to Black Sabbath.  I love the riff on this track!  This is a more stripped down tune, just bare bones rock and it sounds huge!  I wanted to do something different with the vocals, kind of like Muse's "Supermagic Black Hole."  So I did a falsetto on the verses.  It took me a little while to get to, but I am happy with it now.  

Get Your Kicks Intro-  Yes, this is Jim Morrison, one of the most Kick Ass frontmen of all time!   

Get Your Kicks-  I was just hanging out listening to the Doors and I heard this and was immediately inspired to write this tune.   This is my tribute to Led Zeppelin's "Rock N' Roll," with a little Elvis thrown in for fun.

Lil Devil Stare-  Although I put this on the "Child of the Sun" Ep, "Lil Devil" was intended to be released on "Warpath" from the very begining.  This is a fun song & definitely the easiest track to listen to and probably the most commercially appealing song on the Ep.  This gets a great response everytime at live shows, that opening riff & beat are just infectious.

Child of the Sun-  I wrote all the music for this tune in 2001.  I decided to rewrite the lyrics and new it was the perfect finale for "Warpath."  This song has a big Godsmack inspired guitar riff and I really like the breakdown and build up in the middle section.  This is definitely one of my favorite Fantazzmo tunes.  


Happy Halloween!!!

"Get Your Kicks" this weekend!!!

REVIEW
Sometimes you get one of those artists/bands that comes along and you think wow.  Fantazzmo is no exception they are fantastic period, with there unique sound of rock/groove and there smooth vocals you would be hard pushed not to like them. Think old school rock crossed with modern or better still Deep Purple, Jimmy Hendrix, rolling stones, crossed with Nirvana, Inxs then throw in some Coal Chamber and bingo one awesome sound for one awesome Artist/band. Vocally supreme, Lyrically superb and the music is just Wow.
FULL BIO
Think of a time and place where Led Zeppelin, AC/DC & Van Halen rule the world… then add Rage Against the Machine and Sublime…if you can do that, then you can understand what Fantazzmo is all about. Creating music with a heavy emphasis on “groove and feel,” is the primary goal for Fantazzmo along with entertaining live audiences with their thunderous & captivating live shows. On July 15, 2014, Fantazzmo released an EP entitled, “Child of the Sun,” featuring, “Lil Devil Stare,” “Can’t Let Go,” just in time for their Sturgis Tour 2014 which culminated with their third 18 night residency at the world famous “One Eyed Jack’s Saloon” for the Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally which is visited by over 500,000 motorcycle enthusiasts yearly. Fantazzmo is currently finishing up a new EP entitled, “Warpath,” which will be released in May, 2015. “War Path” will feature 5 hard hitting tunes solidifying the band’s Hard Rock roots with their own unique blend of groove, melody & style.

Harley-Davidson inks 75-year deal with Sturgis to preserve rally

It's hard to imagine what the world will to look like in 2090, let alone the motorcycle market. One thing will be certain, though: People will be showing up to Sturgis, SD, on their Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The small South Dakota city becomes the focal point of the American motorcycle world for several days each year as hundreds of thousands of bikers celebrate the hobby. This year is the 75th anniversary, and thanks to a just completed deal by the city and the venerable American motorcycle brand, it looks like it will go for 75 more. The contract makes Harleys the official motorcycle of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and the company is building a permanent structure on the main street in the town for events all year round.

To celebrate the long-term deal and the new site, a 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750 motorcycle tore a brick out of the company's Milwaukee headquarters that's headed for the new building in Sturgis. Another was taken from the brand's museum, and 73 more came from the headquarters' parking lot. The bricks will be delivered on the bikemaker's cycles to the city. When complete, the location will include a stage for concerts and even weddings, Harley says, and it'll all be ready in time for the 75th rally this August.

With the way Harley is developing, it's not too hard to imagine a line of Livewires and the electric bike's successors on display at the 2090 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Although, given the brand's passionate fans, some of its traditional cycles are sure to be there too. Read below for the company's full announcement of the long-term sponsorship.
Harley-Davidson, Sturgis Plan 75-year Agreement

Deal Names Harley-Davidson Official Motorcycle of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally; Creates Year-Round Main Street Plaza For Riders in Sturgis, S.D.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Harley-Davidson and the City of Sturgis, S.D., are setting their sights on the future – far into the future. In the spirit of this year's 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the company and city officials are finalizing an agreement covering the next 75 years making Harley-Davidson the official motorcycle of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Bill Davidson, great-grandson of company co-founder William A. Davidson, left, and Jeff Wick, Social Media Project Manager at Harley-Davidson celebrate after removing a brick from the historic Milwaukee headquarters using a 2015 Harley-Davidson Street(R) 750 motorcycle. In the spirit of this year's 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, that brick, alongside one from the Harley-Davidson Museum and 73 bricks from the headquarters' famous motorcycle-only parking area, will be incorporated into the design...
"Harley-Davidson riders have attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for decades. This new agreement will help fuel many more years of freedom, independence and rebellion for this iconic gathering," said Matt Levatich, president and chief operating officer at Harley-Davidson. "Riding is a passion passed down through generations, so it's important we celebrate the legacy and history of Harley-Davidson in Sturgis, while helping creating new memories."

As part of the agreement, a permanent plaza will be built on Main Street in Sturgis that will include a stage for events, concerts and even weddings. The year-round location, which will be completed in time for this year's 75th rally, will be the official Harley-Davidson destination for riders and fans alike.

"For decades, Harley-Davidson has been the motorcycle of choice for Sturgis Motorcycle Rally fans and a great partner to the City of Sturgis," said Sturgis Mayor Mark Carstensen. "Today it gives me great pleasure to solidify its importance by making it the official motorcycle of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally."

Sturgis: Baked into the bricks of Harley-Davidson
To ensure the new multi-purpose space builds on the legacy of the brand and is pure Harley-Davidson, the plaza will integrate bricks from the company's Milwaukee headquarters, a building that once housed the company's factory dating back more than 100 years.

During a news conference at the company's headquarters, Harley-Davidson announced the planned agreement, which has an initial term and renewals running through 2090. To unveil the deal, Harley-Davidson removed a brick from the historic front entrance using a 2015 Harley-Davidson Street® 750 motorcycle. That brick, alongside one from the Harley-Davidson Museum and 73 bricks from the headquarters' famous motorcycle-only parking area will be delivered to Sturgis on Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Whether riders are trapped inside for the winter or riding south toward warmer weather, now is the perfect time to plan a trip to the 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The party starts Aug. 1, 2015, and for those who've had Sturgis on a bucket list, this might just be the year to attend.

Insane Motorcycle Stunt At The Buffalo Chip During The 75th Sturgis Rally. Evel Knievel And All Others Failed At It.

Insane Motorcycle Stunt At The Buffalo Chip During The 75th Sturgis Rally. Evel Knievel And All Others Failed At It.

Insane Motorcycle Stunt At The Buffalo Chip During The 75th Sturgis Rally. Evel Knievel And All Others Failed At It.

SBC-EK-LANDING-PAGE-DRAFTDuring the 75th Sturgis Rally, the Buffalo Chip Thrill Show will include a dangerous attempt at a world-record motorcycle jump of 22 cars. A stunt that even the great Evel Knievel was never able to pull off. On September 1, 1972. his crew warned him that his bike – a Harley-Davidson XR-750 – would be unable to reach the speed it needed to clear the distance, and they were right. Knievel failed with a bounce landing on the safety ramp the crew built over the lineup’s final three cars. On July 4, 2001 another 22-car jump was attempted by a motorcycle daredevil who spent who also failed and almost died.
Thursday, Aug, 6, 2015 you can see what happens when motorcycle daredevil Doug Danger tempts fate by attempting this exact jump in the Buffalo Chip Amphitheater, using the very same bike that failed Knievel and ultimately lead to his defeat. There’s no telling what will happen during the Buffalo Chip’s Evel Knievel Thrill Show, but one thing is for sure: your heart will race, you will clench your teeth, but nothing will be able to pull your gaze from this historic attempt.
In addition to this potentially deadly world-record jump attempt, for only 10 bucks more you can get the full “Evel Knievel Experience” and come face to face with the world’s largest collection of Knievel curiosities from July 31 to Aug. 8 at the Buffalo Chip CrossRoads. Get an up-close look at X-rays of Knievel’s broken bones, his X-2 skycycle rocket, the Mack truck show rig he named “Big Red,” his iconic “Sports Illustrated” leathers and cape, and much more. The Buffalo Chip didn’t exhume Evel Knievel himself, but you’ll be able to experience everything else!
The Evel Knievel Thrill Show Jump is included for free with your  “Rally” or “Extended Rally” or “Early Bird” Campground Admission Passes. Prices are now the lowest they will ever be. So don’t wait and don’t be the only person to miss this spectacular jump in the Buffalo Chip Amphitheater. If you don’t want to see the jump, you can buy only the “Evel Knievel Experience tickets” For all your 75th Sturgis Rally reservations (August 3-9, 2015) go to Buffalo Chip.
