Nashville, TN - Saturday, February 27th 2010 - Nashville based group Cassino is having a CD release show for their new album Kingprince at The Basement Nashville.
The band's sophomore album, Kingprince, was released digitally this past November, and reached #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart the month of its release and cracked the iTunes overall Top 100 charts reaching as high as #72. The album has just been released physically, and is now available for purchase through MerchDirect.com and Amazon.
The album includes contributions from some of Nashville's most skilled musicians including famed drummer and producer Craig Krampf who produced their previous album Sounds of Salvation and helped provide the foundation for the twelve tracks that make up the newest album. With layers of sounds created by instruments like the harmonica, violin and mandolin Cassino has managed to put together an album that is truly unique, especially in today's often predictable music scene.
Cassino is made up of Nick Torres, formerly of the rock group Northstar, and long-time friend Edward Puckett. Originally a collaboration between Torres and Northstar bandmate Tyler Odom, Cassino released its debut album, Sounds of Salvation, in early 2007. The record was declared a "complete triumph" by Absolutepunk.net, and Cassino built up a fan base in the following months, touring the US in support of the release. After returning home in 2008, Torres and Puckett began working together, developing a collection of songs that they would write and record themselves in their own apartment.
Cassino's Kingprince official CD release Show is Saturday February 27th at The Basement Nashville. The show is at 9pm and is $5 at the door. Also supporting the bill that night is Korean is Asian and Tristen.
