Here's a nice video clip from the Simple Man Cruise.

We did this on Saturday night in the ship's lounge. We invited the guys from Bang Camaro, a young band from Boston who have anywhere from 8 to 18 singers, to come up on stage and sing Godzilla. The sound in the room that night was amazing as the singers filled the stage with their HUGE VOCAL SOUND. Check it out and post a comment

Hi Friends and Fans,

I just posted a killer version of Astronomy on YouTube as played by the X Brothers on the deck of the Simple Man Cruise.  The Cruise was triple A-mazing!!!  Just the best time was had by all.  We met several new bands most notably Bang Camaro with their 7 lead singers.  They sang with us on Godzilla on the second night of the cruise.  Good fun!

I'll post the video for Astronomy below.  More to come.

On a very sad note we lost a good friend yesterday, the keyboard icon of Skynyrd  Billy Powell.  We got to see his last performance.  He looked great on the cruise and it's way sad he left us too soon.  RIP, Billy.

Hi Friends,
We just found out we are opening the show for Lynyrd Skynyrd at the The Borgata in Atlantic City NJ. The date is June 29th and tickets are priced at $59.50 / $49.50. Not too bad for Casino prices.

Last time I saw Skynyrd was last summer, and it was a great show. The audience sings along with every song all night. Johnny was terrific as their frontman and Ricky Medlocke and the new guy, Mark, just kill with their guitar playing.

Hope to see some fans there. We will party!
Joe

Hi Friends,
We finally got a solid date for the X Brothers at the Cutting Room. It's March 30th starting at 10PM. The Cutting Room is located at 19 West 24th Street, New York NY and is a great room to see a show. Many classic rock artists play there and the sound is fabulous.

We are especially excited about this show as it will be our first joint concert with the amazing Dennis Dunaway Project. Order your tickets early as this show will definitely sell out fast!

Hi friends, I've add two new songs to the player. Here's two live gems from the unreleased live CD - HOT TIME IN HELL. The Reaper and Cities on Flame. Recorded live in front of 10,000 rabid fans at the Vietnam Veterans Reunion in Melbourne, Florida. Enjoy! See you soon. Joe

Hi Friends,
I just want to let you know that the X Brothers critically acclaimed new CD is on sale at CDBaby for the holidays. Only $11.95. Makes a great gift! And if you order multiple copies you get a 10% discount on top of that. WOW! http://cdbaby.com/cd/xbrothers

It's also available on iTunes and other download sites. They set the price there and I can't change it, but tell all your friends with new iPods and Zunes, they can get it there.

Have a great holiday!
Joe

The X Brothers played Map Pang's party at the Cutting Room in NYC on Oct 29. It was the Sunday before Halloween and the band played a great set. Patty G sat in with us on vocal harmonies and cowbell. It was a great night for classic hits and we got to hang with the ex-Wings band members, Denny Laine and Steve Holley. Eddie Ojeda from the Twisteds played a fantastic set too. Lots of cool people to talk to and network with. Hope to do it again!
