What up people?! We're in SIN CITY doing it up SPX-STYLE! And you know what that involves... debauchery & alcohol-influenced antics!  Playing dodgeball with oranges, Jerry throwing out his back while breakdancing attempting to do the windmill and Derek busting his toe walking into sh*t BEFORE he even had anything to drink! Can't take that boy anywhere, can we?? Well we made up for it (somewhat) doing shots with AJ Pero, the drummer from Twister Sister who's one of the judges for the competition. Man that guy is HILARIOUS! Not to mention Raf getting all googley-eyed chatting it up with Shane Sparks and even getting his pic taken with him. Check out some cool pics and more details on our blog of some of the antics thus far: http://thespeaks.blogspot.com/

So TONIGHT we'll take the 20'x40' stage which is floating on Lake Las Vegas in nothing short of our most energetic SPX form around 9:30pm PST (that'll be after midnight for our East-Coast fans). Youtube will be hosting the footage about 30-60 minutes after we perform, so if you're out late partying it up tonight you'll want to check out the Live Indie Rock Wars page on Youtube when you get home to see us thrashing all over the stage:

The folks at Live Indie Rock Wars have chosen to discount a LIMITED NUMBER OF TICKETS to see our performances LIVE April 25th and 26th, 2008 in Lake Las Vegas. In order to get the discounts, you must ACT FAST.


THE FIRST 30 FANS TO PURCHASE TICKETS will be given a 25% discount on ticket prices. The deadline for purchasing tickets at this special rate will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis, ON OR BEFORE TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2008 at 12:00am midnight (EST). So don’t wait if you plan to come see us. After the first 30 fans sign-up and pay for their tickets, all others will be required to pay full price for admission to the events. Tickets will be limited to those for BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY only. Regularly priced at $99 each for both days of concerts, you will only pay $74.99 each, but you must act now!


Visit us at (type in your URL here), click on the "FAN APPRECIATION WEEK" widget on our web page, fill out the form (requires valid credit card for purchase) and send it in right away. The first 30 purchase requests will be honored. After that, no discounts will be available. You may purchase as many tickets as you like, up to 10. However, if others have purchased before you, it may limit the number of discount tickets you may be awarded.


All discounted ticket orders must be placed in this way, NOT THROUGH THE LIVE INDIE ROCK WARS WEBSITE(S), BY PHONE OR THROUGH NORMAL CHANNELS. You will be contacted when your discounted ticket purchase is complete, and your name(s) will be left at "Will Call" to retrieve your tickets and wristbands when you arrive at the Registration Desk for Live Indie Rock Wars in Lake Las Vegas on either day of the event.


If for any reason, you are not one of the first 30 to get these specially discounted tickets, your credit card will NOT be charged, and an email will be sent to you telling you where you can go to get tickets at normal prices.

Last weekend, we learned that a long time friend of the band's Father passed away.  To honor our friend, his family, and the memory of his Dad we've posted up a song titled "Only The Good", which was a song off our 2004 album.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
