John Patrick - Guitar, Hammond Organ,
Vocals Jon Roybal - Drums, Vocals Ron Smith - Bass Guitar - Vocals Doug Tucker - Vocals, Guitar  Formed
in 1980 in Detroit and originally known for their unique brand of 'original classic rock.' After several years of playing clubs in the Greater Detroit area, self-released '6x4=1992' in the summer of 1992. The CD features six songs from the band's formative years. After periodic musical activity thru the late-80's and early-90's, Illusion rebounded in 1997 with renewed enthusiasm. 'Memphis After Dark' (Legacy Media Group 2001) was recorded live onstage and includes three original Illusion compositions, as well as three favorite covers. 'Mysteries & Secrets Revealed!' (Legacy Media Group, 2002) was the group's first proper full-length CD and included Illusion's newest original material. In September, 2004, Illusion began the process of recording "Sleight of Hand," their second full-length CD. The new material demonstrates the band's heavier side, and a more-diverse mix of instrumentation. "Sleight of Hand" (Legacy Media Group) was released in April, 2005. In conjunction with "Sleight of Hand," Illusion also released a CD Single, "Silent Valor." The promotional sampler disc includes three tracks from the "Sleight of Hand" sessions (including a cover of "Hello Hooray!," made popular by Alice Cooper), an unreleased instrumental, and "Empty" from the "Mysteries & Secrets Revealed!" CD. The disc also features extensive multimedia content including "Caravan to Midnight," a 12-minute behind-the-scenes video on the making of "Sleight of Hand." The "Silent Valor" CD Single was distributed free at Illusion's shows. |
