GREETINGS FANS AND FRIENDS!!!

It's no secret that the pain we've been feeling has been beyond difficult for us and the Shelton family. It's with the greatest sincerity that THE BLUE METHOD and THERON'S FAMILY thank the fans for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. For all of you that came to the funeral, have written, called, bumped our music and come out to support....WE THANK YOU!! It means so much to us when our fans stand by us as FRIENDS!

We're back THIS WEEKEND in Philly to get down at Warmdaddy's! We'll have special guests CHARLIE PATIERNO and JOE TRUGLIO on drums Friday and Saturday. Help continue to support the Blue Method by coming out or going online and purchasing VOLUME LIVE! If you're still digging back to keep up with our older music, KILL THE MUSIC VOLUME 1 and for the first time this year VOLUME 2 are both available at shows and online at ROPEADOPE DIGITAL!

We thank you all again for rocking with us through this tragedy, the support is great medicine for helping us heal! Continue to post your thoughts and love to our FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, and BLOG SITES!! Keep checking back for our show updates and other news!

doin' it well,
RAH M. SUNGEE

.....with all the aliens that seemed to follow the JUGGLING SUNS around last night, I was waiting to hear that! 

Once again we have to thank all the fans that made it out to World Cafe Live last night to help us support the Juggling Suns.  Special thanks to JS for wanting to include us with BODEGA and MONACY to make a really awesome show.  And thanks to the crazy videos playing all night, I now know the consequences of setting a firecracker off in my ass.  Yikes, brain-tarnishing....

Once again thanks to all the fans that came out and WELCOME to all of our new fans that picked up both albums last night!  This summer we're going to be travelling extensively (wow, that NEVER happens to us...), but we have PLENTY of local Philly/Jersey shows every month for you guys.  Keep checking here and our official site www.thebluemethod.com to keep up with the dates and everything else Blue.  Holla at me if you have any questions about show times, CD's, shoes (ha), or helping us out with promotion/photography/videography, etc....DADZ Friday, then down to the beach at CASTAWAYS OCEAN CITY Sunday to help celebrate Memorial Day!  See you in the crowd, bring some ear plugs!

Zeno's, I hope you're a woman, because we're getting married!!!  Man oh man, it's our first weekend without hitting 50 places in like 5 minutes so we actually got a chance to rest and chill out between shows...and they happened to be some of the best shows I've ever witnessed in Blue Method history! 

I've already listened to some rough mixes of the shows, and they turned out PHENOMINAL!!!  The crowd sounds spectacular (the band was okay too! haha), and we can't thank you all enough for coming out and supporting on one or both nights!  Thanks to the all the folks that especially came from 4 and 5 hours away just to be a part of things.  Of course we have to thank DAVE, JENNA (aww, miss you already girly), MARCUS, JESSICA, AJ, and the entire ZENO'S/HOTEL STATE COLLEGE/ALLEN STREET GRILL staff for always taking great care of us. 

We've already begun mixing the shows, so they will definitely be available by the summer....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand keep your eyes peeled to YouTube for some exclusive video footage from Saturday night!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some World Cafe Live show preparing to do!!  See you Philly folks and Mega-Method Heads tomorrow!!

p.s. - Johnston gets the MEGA-FAN award for the week for a display in the hotel kind of similar to THIS....
