Infinity Minus One Gets One

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RENOWNED BASSIST, KELLY CONLON, JOINS INFINITY MINUS ONE

BOSTON, Massachusetts - - November 1, 2002 - - Renowned bassist, Kelly Conlon, is the newest member to become one-quarter of high-visibility Progressive Rock/Metal act, Infinity Minus One, which has recently released its widely anticipated compact disc recording titled, “Tales from the Mobius Strip.”

Kelly’s vast musical history begins with his embracing the baritone in school at age ten, later graduating to trombone and trumpet, while participating in both his school jazz and concert bands. Interestingly, he did not begin bass studies until the age of eighteen. But to get an idea of what a quick study he is, and his level of proficiency, one only need note that he did a two-year stint with the highly popular metal act, Death, which included recording on and internationally touring behind its 1995 “Symbolic” release by RoadRunner Records.

Another point of note is that, post-Death, Kelly Conlon recorded on another popular metal act’s (Monstrosity) releases titled, “Millennium” (1997) and “In Dark Purity” (1999) by Conquest Music and Uni/Slipdisc labels, respectively. These accomplishments have garnered him impressive endorsements with both DR Strings and Carvin music products. Regarding his perspective on music, Conlon says, “I have always liked to play stuff that was interesting...I never really dug the stuff where you play a couple of chords...dan dan dan dan...too boring for me. I seem to like making things hard on myself, as I love to tap and make a song interesting to play."

He also cites and credits such bass influences as Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Manring, Slam Stewart, Geddy Lee and Steve Harris.

Additional members of Infinity Minus One include Denis J. Lanza (Lead Vocals), Kairo Zentradi (Guitar, Vocals), Kevin Hammer (Keyboards, Vocals) and Libor Hadrava (Drums, Vocals). More...
