This marked the very first performance by ILLUMISHADE in the vibrant city of New York, and the audience greeted them with a heartfelt reception. Despite having just two albums released by Napalm Records, their on-stage presence rivaled that of seasoned performers with a much larger discography. The excitement emanating from the band members as they graced the iconic New York stage was palpable, and that energy easily spread to the enthusiastic crowd. Here's to hoping that ILLUMISHADE will grace the NYC stage once again in the near future.
