It happens over and over again. When Illusion 33 takes the stage, the crowd connects to their modern rock melodies delivered straight from the core – that universal place where the music lives.

It started with raw ingredients: talent, desire and a combination of luck. In the year 2000, Jesse Bennett (lead vocals/guitar), Jason Stoddard (lead vocals/bass guitar), and K.C. Carter (drums) sat peeling labels off their favorite brew, Rolling Rock, trying to put a name to their musical vision. Someone noticed the number 33 wavering like an illusion on the back of the beer company’s label. Lucky number 33, the horse that won Rolling Rock brewery its start-up money. The number 3 just happened to be both Jesse’s and Jason’s lucky number as well. Two lucky 3’s and illusions of grandeur – the dream of a professional rock band playing music from its heart.

Adding seasoned guitarist Bob Capka to their mix brought in his years of experience touring and sharing stages with top industry names such as Godsmack, Three Doors Down, Nickelback, Live, Sevendust and others. Based in Sandpoint Idaho, Illusion 33 members combine rural accessibility with star-power charisma and showmanship. They play venues throughout he Northwest, ranging from small clubs to outdoor stages, receiving fan mail from pre-teens through college-age devotees and beyond.

After playing together for nine years this multi-talented group of songwriters and musicians have come into their own. In their melody drenched rock you’ll catch riffs reminiscent of some of the great punk, rock and metal bands of the 80’’s and 90’s: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam and Sound Garden. At the same time they’ve got a contemporary edge, like the best indie rock bands of this decade. Although compared to Foo Fighters, Green Day, Fallout Boy and Everclear, when you hear this band burst out in blazing guitar riffs, resonant three-part harmonies, dynamic percussion and upbeat lyrics, it’s all bona fide Illusion 33.
