Happy Holidays

2008-01-07T15:27:00.000-08:00

Wanna thank everyone who attended the shows over Christmas and New Year's the shows went great and we all had a good time. Would like to give extra thanks to the people who came out in Walterboro, SC it was our first time in there ans we all had a great time. Had a hard week last week cause i had a nasty sinus infection. It is much better now so I am resting up for this week. Saturday Jan 12 is a special date because we are playing a show with Mad Margritt, each bad is playing a 2 hr set so come out for a full night of high energy 80's.

Peace,
Brent

A First

2007-12-23T02:12:00.000-08:00

I would like to thank everyone that came out to Hilton Head on Friday. We had a great time.

Saturday at Atmosphere we had a first. 15 minutes into the second set we had to evacuate the building because someone had ripped the gas main off the side of the building. So we went and bowled across the street until they let us back in to load out. Never a dull moment in this band.

Merry Christmas everyone,
Brent

Happy Holidays

Hope everyone is doing well this Holiday Season. We are working on the songs for the album so it will be out early 2008. Also good news for Sweet Baby J fans, he will be coming back from his worldwide travels and rocking with us starting 12/31/07. The suburban is back in the shop so this weeks travel should prove interesting. Come out and Rock with us the remainder of the year.

Peace,

I'm Back

2007-12-08T23:21:00.000-08:00

I know it has been forever since I blogged anything ,but once again I'll promise to do a better job. Today was exhausting. We drove from Raleigh NC to Tifton GA. Took about 10.5 hrs then we played a show. The problem is I didn't sleep alot Friday night because I knew we had to leave early this morning. So I am going to hit the sack and get some rest.

Peace,
Brent

I stink

2007-06-15T00:18:00.000-07:00

I am a terrible blogger. I will try my best to keep you posted on what's going on from now on. Nic is now on keys, and Aaron has left us to play drums on a cruise ship. We played in Hilton Head tonight, and the show was great.

A funny thing happened after the show. A girl came up and told Nic that he was so hot and asked if he was gay. Nic went with it and said yes. The girl then told Nic that he was perfect for her friend. Nic finally told her he was straight and she got upset. She so wanted Nic to be the guy for her friend. I don't know if it translates, but it was extremely funny at the time.

Peace,

Brent

Last Week

2007-05-07T07:49:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't been good at posting lately, but I'll be better. Last week was great. We played our best Clemson gig yet. Thanks to everyone for coming out.

Friday night we played a charity function for Jay's Hope (http://www.jayshope.org/) in Macon GA. Everyone involved in this function was great. I feel like we helped make a difference.

Saturday we rocked the best Cinco party ever in Macon GA at El Azteca. Thanks to other bands for warming everyone for us.

Peace
Brent

What a Week

2007-04-28T21:52:00.000-07:00

It's Saturday night and we are off. We deserve this one. We played four gigs in 3 days this week, and I will admit we are exhausted. Thursday was the day that would never end. We set our gear up at the GV WWC at noon and then drove to Columbia for our first show at 6-9. We had a great time and want to thank everyone for coming out to Forest Acres. It was awesome. We then drove back to GV and played from 11-2. We truly appreciate everyone partying with us on Thursday night.

Friday we drove what took us 8hrs to Valdosta. The show went well and was a great end to a short but productive week.

Peace,
Brent

Oh yeah!! The album will be released soon.

Things Are Looking Up

2007-04-12T09:50:00.000-07:00

The show last night in Addison was great. The sound guy Dirk had us as loud as Texans like it and the crowd was into it from the first licks of Jump. After the rest over the weekend and the energetic show, Texas is looking a little brighter so far this week.

Peace,
Brent

Texas..So Far So.....You Decide

2007-04-09T12:14:00.000-07:00

The trip so far has been eye opening. The crowds have been responding really well. At first, there is a lot of oohing and ahhing as they try to decide what is going on. According to the GM's at these places, we are the first band to have anybody leave the stage. But by the end of the night, everyone is up dancing and partying with us. So all is well there.

Everything is bigger in Texas? Maybe not bigger, but definitely louder. They have us playing at levels that in my opinion are too loud. At the bar you can't hear to give an order. If that's the way they want it, we'll provide it, but man I'm glad I use in-ear monitors.

Now Friday night we experienced a first in our long career as a musicians. Our vehicle got broken into, and we were robbed. We lost all the cash from the weeks gigs(thank goodness we had not been paid for the night yet, or we would have been in more trouble) , my wallet, credit cards, license, social security card, laptops, video camera, digital camera, bass, guitar, jewelry, Anar lost his wallet, license, credit cards, a guitar, his backpack, Aaron lost a GPS and a XM radio. So while Friday night's gig was our best, it's excitement got leveled by the break-in.

Now what does bother me is the way the police treated us. OK , we are from Atlanta. We live in Athens now, but the majority of my live I lived in Atlanta. Members of this band have played all over the world, and none of us have ever had our vehicle broken into at a gig. The Police were like, you know this is Houston.. I was like yeah I'm from Atlanta, what's your point. Anar came from LA and his car never gotten broken into ever. They treated us like we were some simple country folk traveling into the big city. Whatever. We found out from the Police that the parking lot has 3-4 break-ins every weekend. The lot should have some sort of security.

Saturday night the weather sucked, and we had PA issues. But despite these issues, the crowd response was great.

We are presently in Dallas trying to recover from the drama and rest up for this weeks gigs.

Peace,
Brent

Ahh at Last!!!!!
