@dansped Really great set in #BandingTogether today. Dynamic flow of rockers, which really translated out of your voice & acoustic guitar, and ballads.

Ferocious Designs to take part in Banding Together 2025 on BlowUpRadio.com, Oct. 16-22

For a fifth straight year, Ferocious Designs will participate in BlowUpRadio.com‘s Banding Together benefit for the Spondylitis Association of America. This year’s super-sized Banding Together webathon will be a week-long event featuring 90 live performances from October 16 through October 22.

Brian Kelley of Ferocious Designs will present a live set on Sunday, October 19, at 3 p.m. ET. With a minimum $20 donation to the Spondylitis Association of America, listeners will receive a code to download the 233-song “Big Box of Music” compilation celebrating 25 years of BlowUpRadio.com and featuring “Looking for the Light” by Ferocious Designs.

“I usually do stripped-down sets for Banding Together, but I’ve started playing to simple rhythm tracks the past couple of years so I decided to record new backing tracks to accompany me on piano and vocals,” said Kelley. “And, actually, for the second half of one song, I’ll be playing acoustic guitar live for the first time in my life so it could be an absolute train wreck — tune in to find out!

“Oh, and while I encourage you to tune in to all of Banding Together, please tune in before my set to hear my longtime friend and collaborator Christian Beach, who goes on at 2:20 p.m. (ET) on October 19,” added Kelley.

And while we're at it, here is the song that I originally intended to contribute to the @BlowUpRadio #BandingTogether 2024 compilation, "Eventually (Love is the Answer)." I meant to fix this one up and re-record the vocals and submit, but I was on my techno-industrial kick and went with "Don't Lose the Groove" instead. This version of "Eventually" was originally recorded in 2012 and it's pretty close to how it first sounded when I wrote it around 1989.

Eventually (Love Is the Answer)

This is something I originally wrote in the late 1980s, but always thought it had a sort of 1970s feel to it. I had written lyrics for the first verse and chorus, but my friend Christian Beach, at one

Here is my set list from today’s BlowUpRadio.com Banding Together performance:

  • “Precious Jewel” – piano version of song that will be on my long-delayed power-pop EP
  • “Eventually” – one of my earliest songs from late 1988/89; a reworked version will appear on the power-pop EP
  • “Time Takes Over” – the first complete song I ever wrote back in October 1988, it is based on something said during a breakup of two former coworkers at a Pizza Hut in New Jersey.
  • “Expectations” (Lo Moon cover) – Decided to try my hand at performing this piano-focused take on a track from Lo Moon’s second album, A Modern Life.
  • “Beyond Forever” – a track from my Open Your Eyes EP released in early June 2024.
