The ILLusionists had the privilege of opening for E&A in February 2010. They were gracious enough to listen to our music, get to know us and Maxx even suggested that Web should remix "By The Throat." Micheal supplied the masters, and even recorded new vocals on the first remix ("This Story"). The album was mostly complete at the time of Mike's passing, but Web & Maxx began revisions in early 2011. Maxx debuted "Sky Diver" as part of his DJ set on the "Family Sign Tour" and released it on SoundCloud shortly after. The ILLusionists began playing "Junk" with their live band in mid-2010. It is still performed at every ILL show, as a tribute to Mike.
All proceeds from the sale of this album go towards the bench dedication ceremony for Micheal in Cherokee Park on October 16th, 2011: on.fb.me/miBPRo
Ugly heroes is one of my favorite groups of all time. For me Verbal Kent's voice is just euphoric, and then you have Red Pill on top of that?! It's amazing but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Their talent only shines through so well because of Apollo here and I love it. I listen to the album nonstop and it inspires me when i write my own shit. Michael Leonetti
