about

I (Todd) put together a band of great friends and great musicians for Tonic Ball 2017 to do some psychedelic-metal Beatles covers. Tonic is an amazing all-covers 5-venue all-night music extravaganza in Fountain Square, Indianapolis that benefits Second Helpings, who use surplus food to feed needy families.

We performed a medley of classic cosmic Beatles tunes, and the rehearsal version is taken from our final rehearsal the night before the show. Also included is the warts-and-all live version from the night of Tonic, a seriously amazing experience that we all hope the attendees enjoyed, and now you the listener will enjoy as well.

I also included an intimate, honest, unperfected version of Across The Universe, right from my bedroom, in keeping with the cosmic theme of the other songs.

Medley songs/songwriting credits:

Velvet Kevorkian (Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend))
Within You Without You (George Harrison/The Beatles)
Tomorrow Never Knows (John Lennon/The Beatles)
