On Monday night, dark pop foursome The Color Guard will be wrapping up a
creative 5
years together with a final show at CBGB Gallery. We're playing one of our very
favorite
parties, Alchemy, with one of our very favorite bands, German metalheads Lesion.
The
night opens at 9:00 with a special appearance by Projekt Records' Unto Ashes,
followed by
Of the Between. We play at about 11:00.

Members of The Color Guard have had a great time together and are extremely
proud of
our three CD releases -- if you haven't heard the latest, "Dark Pop," it's a
kaleidoscope of
heavy riffs, soaring madrigal harmonies, and singalong melodies. Take a listen
on iTunes:
"Your Kiss is My Command" laces a flute through quasi-Eastern aphrodisiac
vocals, while
metal torch song "The Woman Behind the Woman (Oh Mary Magdalene)" tells an
alternate--if blasphemous--side of the only female apostle.

We will continue to offer our monthly "free downloads" on www.thecolorguard.com,
so you
can collect 'em for free if you want.

Or better yet, come to the show! We'll play selections from "Dark Pop" and
"Speech For
Heated Hearts," as well as a bunch of amazing new songs you may never get to
hear again!

This probably won't be the last you'll hear of us, as we all will be continuing
to make music
and might even collaborate on future projects. And who knows--maybe The Color
Guard
will re-emerge one day.
