Spoken. Amongst The Giants. Chaotic Resemblance. All 3 are in concert in Sioux Falls at The Point Is To Serve Church on Monday October 2nd at 6:00 pm. The church is located at 506 N. Kiwanis Avenue. TheBlast.FM is a mouthpiece sponsor of the concert and we will be present with Blast gear and Blast Cards, including our new shiny car window stickers.
Chaotic Resemblance is bringing some muted chaos to Deutschland (January 19-29)! The band is doing an acoustic tour of Germany. They flew out today and the tour starts Thursday in Dierdorf and then Friday they play in Neunkhausen; Saturday in Remchingen, Sunday in Konstanz, Monday in Erfurt, Tuesday in Miehlen, Wednesday in Hagen, private shows next Thursday through Saturday in Wilnsdorf, and the tour wraps up on Sunday January 29th in Siegen.
Kingdom Come Festival (Friday and Saturday, June 18th and 19th), 2021 is like two festivals in one, as (at least for now), KCF has absorbed the Capstone Music Festival and encapsulated into a side stage at the Kingdom Come Festival. (See what we did there?) (Previously, it was two separate Christian rock festivals in Indiana, spaced two hours and a week apart). The two fest are friendly with each other and working together as the body of Christ.
Well, this year…
KCF sees the the return of Disciple as a headliner and The Letter Black headlines as well.
Other Blast bands on the main stage include: The Protest, Chaotic Resemblance, Awaken, Behold The Beloved, Relent, Amongst The Giants, Attaboy, Zahna, We Are Vessel, and TJ Harris of Decyfer Down.
And on the Capstone Music stage: Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Grave Robber, The Persuaded, Theody and Firebrand.
The festival was a lot of fun last year and TheBlast.FM will be back again this year. Stop by our Blastin’ booth and meet us, get some free glossy Blast Cards and stickers and buy a Blast t-shirt.
The festival is at the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Reunion Grounds near Greentown, Indiana.

Collaborations and band member-sharing. There is a whole lot of both happening these days in Christian Rock, and a lot of it happened at the Kingdom Come Festival this month. Matt Baird showed up on stage to do It’s OK with Death Therapy; Marco Pera (of Amongst The Giants) played bass for Disciple; Chaotic Resemblance’s drummer John Jakway banged the skins in an emergency for Spoken; and any time you have multiple Rockfest Records bands present, the Rockfest fam comes together. Here is a snippet of Amongst The Giants in concert, with help from Zahna and The Persuaded: https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/732599020904851/
Spoken lead singer Matt Baird performing at Kingdom Come Fest 2020
Spoken was the Friday night headliner at this year’s Kingdom Come Festival near Greentown, Indiana last weekend. But at 10 pm Thursday night, a conundrum presented itself to lead singer/founder Matt Baird: their hired gun drummer couldn’t make it to the Friday night show!
Umm….
So, Baird and guitarist JR Baries got on the horn with friends in other bands, particularly other bands that were playing at the same festival.
John Jakway, the drummer for Chaotic Resemblance, filled in admirably as the skin-banger Friday night.
His band played on Saturday at the festival.
Baird revealed during the show that their 10 year old song Dagger will be on the next Spoken album, but in a different form than the original.
Dagger has yet to land on a Spoken album. Well, finally the dagger is about to stick.

Capstone is a Covid-casualty. Yes, unfortunately, the Capstone Music Festival has been cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19 shutdowns in Indiana lasting into next month. The festival would have featured Amongst The Giants, Chaotic Resemblance, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Ignescent, Leper, Rusty Shipp and XL & DBD.
The festival also would have featured a number of bands played on The Implosion and The Blastozoic Era. Organizers say they will put together a new festival next year.
