Hello Friends! I hope the beginnings of Summer are finding you well, and happy! Thanks again for coming out to play at The Blooze for Lances Birthday... you really fired us up to get back out and play live again.... AND SPEAKING OF HITTING THE STAGE AGAIN... We would like to introduce you to the new drummer for TERASHAIN! Ladies and Gentlemen... With great pleasure, we are pleased to bring you JQ!!! His name is John Catania, but he is known affectionately as JQ. (story below in his BIO...) We are very excited to be working with JQ, and you will soon find out just why... He's an ANIMAL on the drums, and fits in very nicely with all of our sick humor and musical enthusiasm. Now, writing this is a bittersweet task for me, as Mikee Carnicom has been a stable, shaping force in this band for 10 years, and you just don't part ways easily with a brother after that long. Mikee is continuing his journey in the music business as the full time drummer for our good friends SHUT UP AND DRIVE, and it should be noted, we are all parting ways very respectfully as friends, brothers, and fellow musicians. Mikee won't be behind the drums the next time you see the band, but you can bet that he will ALWAYS be a part of this family, and you will feel the mark he has left on us all as musicians. We love ya, Mike, and always will! Thanks for your dedication to our project, and we wish you well in your new endeavors! You'll kick ass no matter who you play with, that's for sure! AND NOW, PLEASE WELCOME JQ!!!!! Here is a bit about the man that will call TERASHAIN home behind the kit... J.Q. grew up in the rock and metal scene in New York, working as a light tech at the famed L’Amours in Brooklyn. In his early teens, he began taking bass and drum lessons, which is how he earned his nickname. He would show up at his music teacher’s house early, and the teacher would put him in front of the TV, watching “Johnny Quest” until it was time for his lesson. He started calling him Johnny Quest, which got shortened to J.Q. and stuck like velcro. J.Q. played in many bands in the New York/New Jersey area, most notably Atlantic recording artists American Angel and Child, which included vocalist John Kosco who later went on to front Dropbox. These bands opened for many national acts including Skid Row, L.A.Guns, Slaughter, Cinderella, Ratt, Wasp, Ace Frehley, and Type O Negative. Having recently relocated to Phoenix, J.Q. is excited about joining Terashain and playing with top-notch musicians…adding a little Brooklyn attitude to the mix! We hope you will all show JQ that TERASHAIN hospitality that we were not even able to put into words when we were telling JQ about YOU ALL! On a little side note: This guy came in and BLEW us away on the Terashain originals, and the guy has LOTS of ideas for future tunes, so we have a lot of work to do. On behalf of the whole band, we really want to take the time to thank ALL of you that came out for an audition/meeting with us for this position. We weren't blowing smoke up your butts when we told you that this was gonna be a tough call, and in the end, we just really had to go with the guy that was gonna be the FUTURE of Terashain songs while giving the past tunes the respect they deserve. You are all a great bunch of dudes, and we sure hope there aren't any hard feelings out there! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK! Now, those of you that are frequent visitors to our MySpace site will want to keep checking in EVERY day for a possible SURPRISE live appearance by Terashain with JQ takin the drums for a test drive. This will be announced very soon, and will probably not have very much advanced notice, so please keep in touch with us. You won't want to miss our very first live show with this Thunder God on the drums! Thanks to you all for your friendship, and we hope you are along with us for the future of this band! Talk soon...

Hey FRIENDS!
We just wanted to drop you all a line to let you know just how much it meant to us to have you all at the Blooze this last weekend to party with us and welcome us back home up on that stage! You all just blew us away! Thanks for all of the comments you have left us since the shows, and the emails you've sent. It's a big relief to know that all of the hard work we have put into overhauling this show was appreciated by all of you! (We weren't sure it would go over that well, and we had hoped that you didn't forget about us...) We will be back at The Blooze in June, and we can't wait to do it again with all of you. Thanks for doing what you do - KICKING ASS!
Until next time...
Take care, and keep in touch...
TERASHAIN

P.S.... Oh yeah, and thanks for singing the hell out of "I Can't Drive 55" and "Rebel Yell"... You ROCK!

Current mood:  thankful
HELLO FRIENDS!
I just wanted to let you all know how much you mean to us! You are our TERASHAIN family, and you make our lives better just by knowing you all. We hope that you all had an incredible Thanksgiving, and a memorable upcoming Holiday Season. Please know that we are missing you horribly during this "hiatus" and we really cannot wait to get back out there and party with you all and make some new music with you. Things are going GREAT in rehearsals, and we are busy trying to get this thing done so that we can show it off to you! Thanks for sticking with us - we will do our best to make it all worth the wait!
Love to all of you, and your families!
Take care, and we will see you soon.
