hey all happy new year even though that bit is old being its almost Feb. Just siting at home this morning because former president bubba is speaking at SIUE this morning and I had to cancel the class I teach because teaching music theory is a clear security risk. But I get to drop a line to let you know we'll be featured on a cool indie site Feb 4th. These guys feature only the best in indie music. Thousands of bands submit to this site and only 365 get picked a year, and we're very happy to be one of them. Follow this link on Monday Feb 4th (www.indiesolo.com) and help spread the good word….not to mention for one day only on this site you'll be able to download some of our tunes for free.
peace,
Doug

Hey Folks hopefully you tuned in last night to RIVERFRONTRADIO.com RF97 to hear our featured interview and some acoustic performances. It was a blast and many thanks to Jeff & Meaghan for having us on. If you missed it, we'll have some videos up soon to check out. Once again hats off to Jeff & Megan at Rock Vacation for let us play some acoustic rock for all you Young Executive types out there.

 We're working on some upcoming shows and more radio appearances, we'll let know when things come up (check our shows page on the site for complete list of dates). In the meantime we are featured on two sites that deserve your attention. Follow the links below and give us a vote……………...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 Follow the links and give us a vote, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hope all else is well in your worlds and we'll talk at you soon.

Seriously this has not much to do with the band other than it was Zeb (our bass player) who sent me a text to my home phone by mistake, thinking it was my cell. But ITS AWESOME I highly recommend it. A computer reads the text to you, sounds like the computer from the movie War Games. (if you too young to remember this 80s classic look it up) Send one to your parents or grand parents and freak them out or just try it for fun while drinking. It would be great for prank calls (not that I am advocating starting a new trend in prank calling) I am just saying it would be great.

Hey all thought I would post some of the enews bulletins that have gone out so you would have the links that all the cool kids on the email list do. You can be cool too and sign up on the website, or you could just be lazy and let the world get taken over by the AV squad. Ok enough bad High School references heres the jazz:
