Cleveland Pride

(the) fundamentalists

CLEVELAND- Detroit’s own (the) fundamentalists will perform live on June 25^th at the 2011 Cleveland Pride Festival.

(the) fundamentalists are Pride veterans. They have played Pride festivals all over the country and in Canada and have also played Cleveland Pride. We welcome them back this year.

Chris Taylor of (the fundamentalists) states “(the) fundamentalists are really looking forward to returning to Cleveland Pride to move the masses because the last time we were here (2006), we had a fantastic time; were treated great by the Cleveland Pride staff; and MOST of all performed for one of the friendliest and enthusiastic audiences we’ve ever seen!”

(the) fundamentalists, spawned in Detroit in 2003 and led by multi instrumentalist Chris Taylor, have their feet firmly planted in both the electronic and raw rock heritage of their home city. Their sound, infused with an unapologetic queer intensity has been variously described as “uplifting, world-weary, bludgeoning and ethereal; in short, both the silver lining and the cloud around it.” Whether performing one of their smart, thought provoking or body moving original songs or re-interpreting something from the past, (the) fundamentalists are a musical revelation that stays with the listener long after the last note has been played.
