Webcast

We had a blast at WMSE last night playing some songs. You've got to tune in to 91.7 on Tuesday nights to hear the great local stuff they play...its a well run show. If you didn't catch the set, here's what we played:
Run
Still Alive
Daybreak
Now or Never
Burning
Slave (Fool For Your Love)

We hope to have the audio/video from the performance & interview up shortly.

Scatterbrain

What is it about summer that makes me get all these crazy ideas? I seriously get creative ADD, just bouncing between thoughts and projects. Hard to tell if any are good right now when they're all half-baked, but I think there's some potential. Plus, I put one big project to rest yesterday by finally finishing Zelda...at least the band doesn't have to compete with that now. ;)

I'm excited for the next 3 weeks with the band...we've got practice tomorrow, a gig on Friday, WMSE Live/Local radio performance on the following Tuesday, a Fox 6 Morning Show appearance on the following Monday, and that brings us to the Collective Soul show. Good stuff! Hope Dan can get some new recording stuff out too somewhere along the line. I'm off to enjoy my evening and catch up with a friend in town...see ya later.

New month, new blog

I don't think I've really taken the whole 'blog' thing by the horns. I only assume the average blogger writes more than once a month...but then, when have I been average?

The band had a great weekend in PDC two weekends ago...it was a blast. We were, unfortunately "band minus one", since Paul was on his honeymoon in Mexico. I know, priorities, right?! Anyway, it was a great time, probably better than Paul. Or maybe just close, anyway...hope to be back there next year for Prairiefest.

We've got some new songs and stuff brewing...among them 'Slave (Fool For Your Love)' and 'Shadows Remain'. Both really strong in my opinion, but I may be biased there. The few times we've played Slave out we've gotten a great response from it. In a setlist that sometimes feels like its got one too many 'listening' songs, its got a great pop beat throughout it, so people usually bust a move for it. Hoping to debut Shadows at the Isenroo gig coming up.

Other than that...band news lately has been the release of 'Now or Never', our latest recording, and a nice preshow gig for Collective Soul & Safetysuit. Hope you can enjoy both of those! Hopefully you'll hear from me before August!
