concert on August 3. The band was opening for the rock band Ratt, who is

Tydes played a 45-minute set, with the majority of its material new songs the

band has written since releasing its self-titled debut last year. Since that

time, the group has been invited to play at clubs and festivals across the

state. The newest member of the band is Fred Dotson, above left, who has been

with Mind Tydes for just over a month. Also in the band is vocalist Grady
