Too bad, I never noticed this before. I think I've tried all of these myths.

Riggie Fest!!

This weekend, we'll be playing at Riggie Fest for approximately 3000 people! We'll be playing at the Utica Memorial Auditorium in Utica, NY, which Madison Square Garden was modeled after. Bruce Springsteen once played there and so we are super excited to put on a great show. Riggie Fest is a food festival and so we are also hoping to get our food fix there. I usually eat at least 5 meals the day of a gig, so I'm looking forward to inhaling some great food! Three bands will be playing and we'll get 1hr and 15 minutes to rock the place.

We'll also be testing out our 'band van' that we recently acquired. Sadly, the private jet will have to wait for a while. Oh well, maybe next year!

Album Titles

Hey guys,

I need your help with ideas for the album title. If anyone has any great ones, feel free to post them! We were thinking of naming it after a song like "15 Songs on the Radio" or "Highest Level", but something totally random could be cool, too. "Under the Radar" was a last minute idea by Justin for the title of the EP and it ended up working pretty well! Here is a list of other random ideas that have popped into my head recently.

1) Welcome to the Fold
2) Red Sunrise
3) Young Lightning
4) Four Moon Sky or Four Moon Horizon
5) Out of the Darkness

Studio Update

Happy Easter everyone!

We had another successful day in the studio yesterday, recording 2 songs, "Trap" and "Stepping Stone." Now Jeff and Justin have finished all of their parts for the full length LP! Ben just has to do guitar work on one song and the rest is all up to me. I hope to finish recording my parts by the end of the month!

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday!

Album Update

What's up y'all?! In case you couldn't figure it out, my last post was an April Fool's joke. Driveshaft is a fictitious band from the tv show Lost. Justin, Ben and I are all huge fans of Lost....we're working on getting Jeff into the show as well. How awesome has season 5 been?

Just wanted to give you an update on how the album recording is going. Obviously, we have finished 5 songs, which we released last week on our debut EP "Under the Radar." You can preview the songs from our website and you can also purchase it! The EP tracklist is

1) Myspace Heartbreak
2) Roll Me Over
3) 15 Songs on the Radio
4) Loaded Gun
5) Highest Level

Right now I am working my tail off to finish the remaining 5 or 6 tracks on the album. The whole band will also be in the studio this weekend to record a couple more tracks, one which will be on this album, one which will probably be on our next album! Gotta think ahead! Here is what the remaining tracks most likely will be:

6) Lonely Me
7) Red Light
8) The Best Thing
9) Cougar (yes, our song dedicated to cougars....we are currently seeking cougar backup singers to come into the studio and sing on this track!)
10) Trap
11) Chosen


Hope to have this all wrapped up in June sometime! Can't wait for you to hear what we're working on!
