The New York City-based alternative-hard rock band, Atomic Brother, has been selected to showcase at the 2008 Baltimore Music Conference. Atomic Brother is one of only about 100 bands and DJs selected to perform showcases at this year’s Baltimore Music Conference, taking place September 17-20 at venues throughout Baltimore.

Atomic Brother’s showcase is 10 PM Friday, September 19 at Bedrock, 401 W Baltimore St., Baltimore, MD.

The Baltimore Music Conference’s mission is to support and nurture the local scene, and showcase talent that needs exposure. “It’s easy to get lost among the 1000+ performers at other conferences,” says bassist S.A. Sebastian Gnolfo, “We’re excited to be playing a conference where the organizers are making an effort to give each performer maximum exposure.”

In addition to the band’s performance, Atomic Brother bass player, Sebastian, will be speaking on the conference’s Podcast/Webcasting Panel, earlier Friday afternoon, discussing “changes in how people are being exposed to music,” and the making of band’s video podcast, Wastin’ Time With Atomic Brother.

About Atomic Brother:

Atomic Brother was formed in 2003 by James Melillo on lead vocals and guitar and S.A. Sebastian Gnolfo on bass and vocals. Calling themselves, “Alternative Hard Rock,” many listeners compare Atomic Brother’s music to Disturbed, Megadeth, Alice In Chains, Henry Rollins, Ramones, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix.

Atomic Brother, spent the last year performing in support of their debut album, See Me Comin’, which has garnered the band international attention and support, especially in Switzerland, where the album was recorded. The song “Everything and Less” reached #7 on Zürich-based Redaktion Rockstation radio charts, and SwissRecords.com asserts that, “Atomic Brother can certainly write powerful songs.” The band’s podcast, now in its second year, often gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at songwriting and recording, rehearsing and performing, the sometimes not-so-rock and roll side of being in a band in New York City, and sometimes just fooling around and having fun.
