"Lonely Me" and the Banner!

We now have a band banner to put behind the stage when we perform. It's pretty sick looking and was made out in Oregon on vinyl! I look forward to playing our first show in front of it.

In other news, I am currently putting the finishing touches on my parts to the song "Lonely Me". Our EP, Under the Radar, is currently available for purchase at our store, but that doesn't mean album recording has stopped! "Lonely Me" is a dark ballad that I'm anxious to finish and release. I'm really happy with how it's coming together. Ben did some guitar work on it with his ebow and it really sets a nice ambience. It should be released in a week or two!

Hope everybody is enjoying spring!

The Pogues Were 3 Doors Down

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone that came out to support us at Bill's Bar on Saturday night. There was tough competition on Lansdowne street alone that night, with The Pogues playing just a few doors down the street at the new and totally sick looking House of Blues. The other bands that we played with were all amazing and all seemed to be pretty close genre wise. I truly enjoyed their sets. Much thanks to "The Future Ghosts", "Air Traffic Controller" and "No Casino" for some nasty sets!

Bill's Bar certainly had a loud enough sound system as our manager said he could hear my vocals in the street before he came in. Guess I wasn't drowned out by the band this time around! The bar is well known for a reason and it was a pleasure playing there. Much thanks to Lionel for setting up the show!

Now it's time to get back to work on the album!

Bill's Bar 3/21

Hey everybody,

There is a chance that the Bill's Bar gig next Saturday night is going to be a sell out. It would totally suck if you came to the show without a ticket and ended up being turned away at the door. You can buy the tickets now at www.onslaughtentertainment.com and it's actually 2 dollars cheaper (10 instead of 12 at the door). Air Traffic Controller is also playing that night and they have a huge following so it should be a packed club! I hope to see you there!

Anyone have any great ideas for an EP title?!?!

Great Gig Coming Up!!

Hey everyone!

If you've been putting off seeing us live, we've got a great showing coming up in a few weeks that you should come to.

On Saturday, March 21st we will be playing at Bill's Bar in Boston. It's a great venue and we're very excited to be playing there. This is definitely not a dive bar, and the rest of the night's bill looks great too. We'll be playing with Air Traffic Controller, The Future Ghosts and No Casino.

It should be an awesome night of great music and lots of fun, so make sure you get your tickets early, becasue we're anticipating a sell out.

You can purchase tickets from us for $10 before the 21st or $12 at the door.

We hope to see you there!!

Photo and Video Shoots!

Last week we had a 3 hour long photo shoot with several professional photographers in Lawrence. They were pretty nasty at what they did.....It was really quite tiring after a while....I tell you this rockstar thing ain't easy. Luckily, I was able to rest when we acted out some scenes where I was dead and the rest of the band stood above me acting happy. They seemed to do this quite easily, which was a little disturbing. We all had several wardrobe changes and even had a couple of female models in some shots with Justin. Can't wait to see how those turned out!

Then last weekend, we filmed the video for our song "Highest Level" with director Andrew Eldridge. The first day of shooting just contained model/actress Elissa Johnson and yours truly, acting out the romantic story line of the video. Elissa was great to work with and I can't wait to see the final product. The 2nd day of shooting involved the entire band with our instruments, filmed in front of a green screen. Everything went pretty smoothly. What an amazing weekend....We need to make more videos!
