ATHEIST Frontman Announces First-Ever Art Show

October 24, 2008

Vocalist Kelly Shaefer of the reactivated seminal technical metal pioneers ATHEIST has issued the following update:

"I wish for you all to attend my first-ever art show on Friday, November 14 at the Rhino Room on Ocean Blvd. in beautiful Siesta Key, Florida from 5 p.m. 'till midnight. I really need you to mark your calendars and bring lots of friends; I want to make this unlike any other art show. Also being featured will be the works of Leroy Beachy and other notable Florida artists. I will have lots of new paintings on exhibit. I will also be taking orders for commisioned works a well. This is a pop/rock culture theme, and free food will be available as well as a full liquor bar. This is really important to me, and I will be there the whole day, so come and visit, and check out all of the artists' works. My original paintings will also be for sale during this cutting-edge art exhibit."

A flyer for the art show can be viewed below.

In January 2006, Kelly Shaefer reassembled much of what was widely considered ATHEIST's classic recording lineup (Shaefer, bassist Tony Choy, and drummer Steven Flynn) to perform a select number of one-off shows to celebrate the re-issue of their wildly-influential catalog (1988's "Piece of Time", 1993's "Elements", and the 1991's legendary "Unquestionable Presence"). Among those shows were performances at such legendary festivals such as Germany's Wacken Open Air, Norway's Hole In The Sky, Italy's Evolution, England's Bloodstock Open Air, and the Los Angeles' Murderfest.

Proressionally filmed video footage of ATHEIST performing the song "And the Psychic Saw" at the Wacken Open Air 2006 festival in Wacken, Germany can be viewed below.
