Cross Culture Charting

Posted by Kevan Breitinger Oct 17, 2006

Cross Culture climbed to #29 last week on the Nielsen Christian SoundScan’s Rock/Alternative Overall Top 50, and to #49 on the Gospel-Christian Retail Overall Top 100.

And to add to the month’s excitement, guitarist Dan Harrass's wife Trish gave birth to their first child, Daniel James II, on Friday evening.

Cross Culture have just completed a 42-date tour with respected music group VAST. Among the highlights of the tour were sold out shows at legendary club CBGB’s in New York City and the Viper Room in Hollywood, CA.

It has been a whirlwind seven months since Cross Culture released its debut album “Proof Positive” in February this year. The band has grown its fanbase to over 26,000 MySpace friends, achieved a Top 15 radio single, and performed at festivals across the country including Altanta Fest, Rock The Light, Crossover Music Fest and Cornerstone.

The eclectic Latin-tinged pop-rock sound of Cross Culture is described as energetic, deep and intricate, and as reminiscent of Thousand Foot Krutch, 311, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Pillar. "Our versatile sound goes hand in hand with the band's name," comments guitarist and bassist Justin David. "We cross traditional cultural boundaries by mixing hard, melodic rock with jazz, gospel and funk."

Listen out for Cross Culture's rock single "One Of These Days", which went for adds on October 13.
