Christian Rock
March 28 The acclaimed hip-hop/dance/rock band Family Force Five will be at the Glass House in Pomona on March 28th, 2009 as part of the AP Tour. Riding high on good critical reception of their third full-length album, Dance or Die, the band successfully brings a positive turn to some of the most popular styles of contemporary music. In a May 2008 interview with Christian Music Today, the band admitted that their music would not appeal to certain segments of the Christian audience: “They want Sandi Patty all over again. They want Amy Grant. And most times, it's people that don't understand new art, new videos... We want to make music that is for God, but at the same time, we want to make music that people enjoy and that they're not turned off by.”
The Glass House is located at 200 W. Second St., Pomona CA, 91766. For more information, visit the band’s website or contact the Glass House at (909) 865-3802.
