Oh that's right children......it's been a long time coming, but it's almost ready. As the Flower Moon wanes into a cloak of night, the cool spring air will herald a most glorious rise from the ashes. Once risen in it's fully pressed and packaged glory; we will take it with us from west coast to central Canadia and back, leaving a smoldering trail of scorched faces, melted ear-drums and stained underwear. Oh yes, it's coming...

Word up kids;

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to the Fed show last night, we had a blast. It was ZARGATZ inaugural show as a member of Phoera, and he certainly didn't let anyone down.
PROPS to Shaun Funk from Closing Iris(www.myspace.com/closingiris) for being such a good goddamned musician, AND for lubricating your rock-orifices for a Phoera insertion.

Also want to thank the gents and ladies at The Grateful Fed(www.myspace.com/thegratefulfedcafe) for being so rad-awesome and constantly putting on fresh shows. These folks are the maaadddd playaz.

One last note; we have a sweeeet ass show coming up at our old stomping grounds Creekside Theatre in Lake Country; we're playing with buds DNP (www.myspace.com/drunkandpretending) and old friend Jordan Clapper (www.myspace.com/jordanclapper)... We're going all out on this one so you better get your funkin' arses down there. Straight up.

Good afternoon children;

It's been some time since our last update. As some of you may already know, we have undergone some serious changes in the Phoera universe.

We'll give you the watered down version. Manda decided to pursue other creative endeavours, which brought us back to the great bass-player hunt. After months of deliberation, it was decided that our old old friend ZARGATZ WEISE of ARCHFIEND WEISE fame (http://www.myspace.com/archfiend weise) would come and take over the low-end frequency slinger.

To put it simply, things are going effing wonderful. The music we have been writing is by far the best we have created so far(at least in our opinion) and we are _most_ excited for things to come.

Secondly, and more importantly, We are currently in the process of putting together our full length, self titled album. We're about 30% of the way through the recording process, and it's really starting to come together.
It's been a long time coming but rest assured it _IS_ coming.

There's more big news on the way(see you in Winnipeg, *wink*), but that's for a later post. Thanks to EVERYONE for staying tuned and keeping the faith, we won't let you down.

Oh, and lastly, we threw up some new pictures a few weeks ago but never mentioned it. CHECK OUT THE HOTNESSSS!

Sincerely yours;
-newj and PHOERA

the old josh has quit the band, and to all involved's benefit; he's also disappeared.  for now, our close friend jim will be covering josh's position, but we're interveiwing a new member, who ironically, is also named josh...

if anyone is wondering about where the old josh is, check your mom's bedroom...

Ola everyone;

Tracking is officially complete for "The Train" and "The Phoenix". We hit the mixing stage this weekend, and will hopefully have something a little new for any anxious ears out there. Yes, we know that these songs are currently available for listen on this page but those are SUPER LAME OLDSCHOOL DEMOS that are totally schooled by the new shiz...oh!slam!

As well, Phoera is going to be putting together a montly e-newsletter and are currently compiling a mailing list. If you are at all interested in being added to this list, just send an e-mail with the subject line "MAILING LIST" to phoera@hotmail.com and we'll add you and send you a confirmation reply. DO IT! IT'S FUN!!

Phoera has finally dropped a few bucks into the hole and made a definite good purchase. Gwendolyn has left behind the sweet $50 Casio and traded it in for a Korg Triton Synth/Sequencer/Sampler. Sufficed to say, the next Phoera show is the one where you should drop your acid. (if yer into that sort of thing)

Much love;
-Josh and PHOERA
