PowerTribe, a heavy-metal USA band, performs their version of “WE THREE KINGS”. Free Christmas Download.

Do you like your Christmas music with a little more metal? Here is a Free Christmas Download. There is also a video available from PowerTribe.

Dear Friends,

We hope that you have had an overall good year of 2021. Things have been tough on everyone. But throughout everything, we feel very blessed to have the joy of music. We wanted to express how much we appreciate your support.  We are very grateful for our abilities and the Gift of Music. We wanted to share our love and talents with you by giving away our Christmas song. 

WE THREE KINGS mp3 is a free Christmas Download that is available with our compliments to all of our friends, fans, and family. We hope that music can bring all of us together, especially during these holidays.

The original title “Three Kings of Orient”, also known as “We Three Kings of Orient Are” or “The Quest of the Magi”, is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins Jr. in 1857. Hopkins wrote the carol for a Christmas pageant in New York City. It was the first widely popular Christmas carol written in America.

PowerTribe’s original Christmas composition of “WE THREE KINGS” was recorded & produced by Darren Stroud, guitarist of PowerTribe, and the individual parts created by the whole band. We decided to play this one much faster so we could sing all the verses in the song. We think this version may be one of the few versions that include all the verses.

We hope that you enjoy this song and video presentation as much as we enjoyed creating it for you.

ESP Video Spotlight ~ Darren Stroud of PowerTribe

powertribeLeave a comment

Starting off 2021 with an ESP video spotlight for Darren Stroud on the ESP website. They selected Darren’s tribute video to Eddie Van Halen in which Darren performs his version of “Somebody Get Me A Doctor”.

Note from Darren Stroud:

“This video was inspired by my good friend Susie Cakl (owner of PICKBAY). Susie sent me some genuine Eddie Van Halen picks (even one that he used in 2007 on stage … the pick is sitting in my pickbay necklace in this video). I decided to record one of my favorite Van Halen songs “SOMEBODY GET ME A DOCTOR” and it’s dedicated to Eddie Van Halen. The interesting thing about the early Van Halen recordings … Eddie’s guitar is panned completely to the left. So I grabbed just the right side of the audio and panned it slightly right and panned my guitar totally left. Fun Stuff! I detuned my guitar 1/2 step and plugged straight into my cranked Blankenship Plexi Amp and went to town. This is pretty much the way I expect Eddie would have done it.”

ESP Video Spotlight: It’s always an honor to be selected, spotlighted, and highlighted by ESP as they are Darren Stroud & Missy Percifield’s favorite guitar brand. PowerTribe proudly endorses them. In the video, Darren is playing the LTD EC-256FM in Vintage Natural Finish. The “Horns Up” T-shirts are available at our PowerTribe store. 

Check out Darren’s other dedication where he wrote an original song called “YOU GOTTA KEEP PLAYING” … Eddie tells us to keep playing or else he will come looking for us if we don’t.

Rest In Peace, Eddie (10/6/2020) … and Thank you for all you have done for music.” ~ Darren Stroud

(Video) PowerTribe Covers Dio “The Last In Line” (free download)

powertribeLeave a comment

PowerTribe covers DIO. During this quarancation (while we are not performing any shows or hunkering in the studio) … John Chominsky (drummer of PowerTribe) suggested that we try our hand at some cover songs.

We liked the idea as we haven’t really tried any covers as a band. While some people can really see the talent of bands through their original songs, others determine the degree of talent through how well bands can play songs that are familiar or popular. So we really liked the idea of sharing our talents however way that we can.

The Last In Line - Dio Cover by PowerTribe

John thought the song “The Last In Line” would be a cool song to approach. We all agreed. And of course, DIO is truly The Godfather of Metal so creating an appropriate rendition was really important to us.

PowerTribe gave it shot. We recorded all the music and it was a perfect choice for us. We are very proud of this tribute to DIO. It was a lot of fun creating the video and filming in our remote places. We were making music from Los Angeles to Colorado.

We hope you will support this video on YouTube and pass it along for others to check it out too. We would love to get the word out about PowerTribe. If it takes a cover song to get people to listen to our original music, then we have done our job.

(Video) Quarancation with PowerTribe

powertribeLeave a comment

PowerTribe’s 2020 shows have all been canceled. We look forward to performing for our friends and fans again and we will do so when everyone’s safety can be assured.

Quarancation with PowerTribe - Missy in a Mask

In the meantime, we have written lots of music and recorded 11 songs in the studio. All songs were mixed and mastered by grammy-award nominated producer/mix engineer, Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, The Black Dahlia Murder, Epica, Delain, Evergrey). We have this release “on hold” right now and we are looking for distribution when the time is right.

PowerTribe has worked on a few videos as individuals and as a band. We are currently revisiting some “covers” from our favorite artists and we plan to create these into recordings and videos while we wait.

Darren Stroud’s “cover” video is below. This video is a cool collaboration between Darren on guitars, Darren on bass, and the real Neil Peart on the drums (via performance videos). This video is like watching note-for-note perfection. You will enjoy this video if you are a RUSH fan. Darren’s personal guitar embellishments are added in a way that maybe only another guitarist can fully enjoy and appreciate. We feel that it is quite a heartfelt tribute to Neil Peart. 

PowerTribe members are also engaged in interviews via phone, email, Zoom, etc.. Some of the interviews are located at https://facebook.com/powertribe.

Missy was also featured this year in Bass Player Magazine which was a real honor for PowerTribe. 

Cover of Bass Player Magazine Aug 2020 Missy Percifield InterviewRead Missy’s interview in the August 2020 BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE issue and the cover features Jaco Pastorius. Read the interview here at PressReader.

Friends, we wish everyone good health and safety.

Please check in on PowerTribe during this Quarancation time. We hope to have videos that you can share and enjoy.

Stay Healthy & Stay Metal.

Darren, John, and Missy of PowerTribe

 

 

Here is a little sample of Darren’s Tribute to Neil Peart.

Frankie Banali Announcement

UPDATE:  This was the date (OCTOBER 21, 2019) that Frankie Banali revealed that he was diagnosed with stage-IV pancreatic cancer – just 5 days before this show. This was one of his final performances and we were honored to have shared the stage with Frankie. He is truly a fine musician and a gentleman. He rocked the drums like he was full of vigor and energy that night.

Frankie Banali died from the disease on August 20, 2020, at age 68. He was the second member of the classic Metal Health-era Quiet Riot lineup to have died, following Kevin DuBrow in November 2007. Frankie Banali was forced to sit out on several Quiet Riot shows throughout 2019 as he was receiving treatment for his cancer. We were blessed to be with him and to hear him play those drums that night. 

Rest In Peace, Friend …

He can bring the house down while wearing his prosthetic leg and using a cane. It is truly a sight to behold to hear that amazing voice and to feel his powerful energy.
