News/ Josh Karickhoff talks about new S13 material!

Some really cool new live videos from recent S13 shows have been uploaded to the band's YouTube Channel [www.youtube.com/sacred13band]. Head on over and check them out! And as most know, SACRED 13 has been in the studio working on what will be the band's 5th studio release. "We're incredibly excited! I know I am, for sure! Musicians always hype new music, because it's new and it's fresh, but to truly tell how 'great' it is, it has to stand the test of time. I believe this new music we're creating will do so with no doubts whatsoever. It is breaking boundaries beyond anything we've ever done before; longer songs, limitless creativity, concepts and characters/story telling, in-depth musical and lyrical meaning, you name it! It's SACRED 13 to the MAX!" said Josh Karickhoff recently when asked about the new material. Be sure and stay tuned to the band's Facebook and Twitter pages for updates and sneak peaks when they come in!

SACRED 13 announces 11th Anniversary bash!

For Immediate Publishing: (Taken from www.sacred13.com)

SACRED 13 announces 11th Anniversary bash at Sherlocks Park Place in the band’s hometown, Erie PA on May 25th, 2013!

“We’re very excited about this show for several different reasons”, said lead vocalist/guitarist Josh Karickhoff. “One, of course it’s been many months since we've played Erie and we’re excited to be back at Sherlocks. Two, May 25th is the exact date we [known as BlueFire at the time] played our first show together at the Erie Pennsylvania [then called] Pepsi Amphitheater in 2002. So it’s really neat to look back and see how far we've come as a band and how much our music has matured and evolved over all these years. And three, the line-up of the show...

We hand-picked both Whiplash and Kevlar; mainly because I feel as though they’re perfect for it musically, and the concept is there. Whiplash (Tribute to Metallica) represents an old-school band that has heavily influenced us over the years, and Kevlar reminds me very much of us in the sense that you have young musicians who are very serious about what they do, and put in their ‘all’ to do what they love. I see a lot of us when I watch them. So I’m very happy to have this show put together the way that it is.”

Don’t miss SACRED 13’s big 11-year anniversary bash May 25th, 2013 featuring Whiplash (a Tribute to Metallica), and Kevlar, live at Sherlocks Park Place in Erie, PA! 21+ admission, $5 door charge, 10PM showtime!
