ABOUT ILLUSION 33
Illusion 33 (www.ill33.com and www.myspace.com/illusion33) landed a choice gig in 2001, when it was hand picked and contracted by Guitar Centers to play at in-store grand opening celebrations nationwide in 2001 and 2002. On the heels of the national exposure garnered as Guitar Centers’ “house band,” Illusion 33 was added to the lineup on the Van’s Warped Tour in 2002-2003, and also landed slots at the Fashion Expo, Orange Blossom Festival, Rock for Tots and Wolfstock. Rockin’ together since 200, Jesse Bennett (guitar/vocals), Jason Stoddard (bass guitar/vocals) and K.C. Carter (drums) bring down the house at live shows with their in-your-face, heart pumping, high-energy performance.

ILLUSION 33 Biography

Rarely does a rock band combine explosive guitars and intense vocal harmonies with enough edge to rattle the speakers and big-game hooks that demand attention. With equal parts rock, punk, and metal, iLLUSiON 33 is now ready to claim their throne as rock music's new kingpins. Named "one of the best bands to hit the airwaves in years" by The Las Vegas Tribune, iLLUSiON 33 can currently be heard on nearly 70 radio stations across the nation.

The foursome decided to take a new direction for their debut album by deepening their artistic abilities and focusing on a melodic, pop-minded album. The result was 18 Shades, released in early 2007, and has been compared to the sounds of Foo Fighters, Green Day, Fallout Boy, and Everclear. They are currently in the studio recording their next album, combining their 3-part harmonies, huge riffs, and power drumming to take the music and the energy to an entirely new level.
