NATIONAL ACTS

 The Cruzados attracted national attention in the ‘80s with their stormy, Latin-inflected brand of post-punk hard rock. Signed to Clive Davis’ Arista Records, the quartet issued two albums, Cruzados (1985) and After Dark (1987). They also made a high-profile screen appearance in the 1989 cult classic Road House.  In 2020 it was time for founder Tony Marsico to turn to singer Ron Young and guitarists Loren Molinare and Mark Tremalgia of Little Caesar, who were also active on the L.A. scene in the late ‘80s as a Geffen Records act. The core lineup was completed by drummer Ron Klonel, who has collaborated with Little Caesar in recent years. 

 For many musicians, separating themselves from their past is nearly impossible, especially when the past includes a successful career as a founding member of an 80’s funk metal band like Bang Tango. The old hits and looks are almost inseparable from their current art, despite the clear differences and the years in between. Many become stuck in a limbo of who they were and who they want to be, but Mark Knight has only been spurred on by the challenges of what’s in his rearview mirror and who he is now as an artist. 

Following in the footsteps of bands like Orgy and Dance with the Dead, Felix & the Foreshadow are combining elements of 1980's synth pop with the attitude of 90's Nu Metal as well as the influence of a wide variety of other genres.

 2021 saw the band have minor success with their cover of the Canadian New Wave band Spoons song "Old Emotions" which was featured on the band's 40th Anniversary Compilation Album "Echoes". Their cover was played during a "Best of 2021" spotlight on a Canadian radio show "Flashback Alternatives" hosted by Dj Dreamdoctor. Recently, the band released their first original single and music video "Augmented Reality", which has gained the band listeners worldwide. The band's first full-length studio album album "Synthesized" is set to release in the spring of 2024.
