As we all know, we can't escape the latest awful trend in popular culture....Social Networking Websites!!  We can't complain though, if it weren't for MySpace and the rest, most of you wouldn't know who the hell we were anyway.  How's that for damning praise?

To that end, we've decided to hop on the next bandwagon and check out this twitter thing, so we need ALL of your help with this.  First of all, we need to get as many people as we can "following" us....or whatever it's called.  Problem is...we don't know how that happens.  This is where we look to you, the denizens of the World Wide Web.  We are just dumb musicians...please school us in your ways.  Secondly, we're trying to score some free software so that Vega can give you guys updates via Twitter from his Windowsmobile Smartphone.  In order to do that, we had to post this blog (which we were going to do anyway.....two birds, one stone type thang).

Below is all the necessary info we need to put up here to get the free software, and also to help you guys follow us on Twitter.  If we're missing anything, or doing anything wrong, lay it on us sooner rather than later.  We want to get this ball rolling as soon as possible.  Who knows, maybe this is the next step in Sacred Dawn taking over the world!!!!  METAL!!!!!

Sacred Dawn was just confirmed to play for this years Warriors of Metal Fest on June 5th. This is a two day all ages show and is being held in Waverly, Ohio June 5th and 6th. You won't want to miss this. Lots of great bands and a great way to get your metal fix to start the summer off. Details still to come.

Sacred Dawn Studio Blog, Vol. 2

There's a rumor going around that Lo put up a blog about our experience in the Studio the other day...but I have to admit...I'm a bad band member and did not read it.  Between being in the Studio all weekend, and trying to squeeze in a little 360 in between sessions......oh, and don't forget the drinking...I haven't been on the MySpace in a few days...so I'm writing this a little "blind".  I apologize if I repeat or rehash anything that was already said.  Actually, I don't apologize...I really don't care if I repeat myself, I was just trying to be polite...but you all know that I'm not....so suck it!
Seriously, though, day 2 in the studio went extremely well.  I want to publicly give a shout out to the newest member of SD, Eddie Foltz!!!  Big ups to Ed, who has been working his ASS off on these tunes, in prep for this past weekend.  He went in and totally nailed it!!  I'm not going to say that everything was silky smooth (because there are always snags in the studio...as I'm coming to learn ), but Ed laid out all the drums tracks and they already sound awesome!  Now, we just need to wait for Chuck to do his producer/engineer/studio genius thang and then.....it's MY TURN!!  I'm really psyched to be cutting the tracks for this album because I think they're all going to be really great.  I'm very happy with the direction the songwriting has been going and from a bass player's perspective, I get to play a lot meatier basslines than I did on GOTM.  Don't get me wrong, I still love the tunes on Gears (I wouldn't have joined the band if I didn't), but it's a completely different entity.  This new shit is a lot more my style, and we've been getting great reactions when we play it out live so hopefully the rest of you out there will agree with me.
Anyway...enough of my babbling.  We had a camera in the studio and we took a couple of candids, so we could give you guys a little behind-the-scenes taste.  Hope you enjoy!

            Wells folks March friday the 13th was the 1st official day of Sacred Dawns recording process for their 2nd album. We are very excited about this album. There is alot of passion going into the music for this record and the best part is that everybody has had a great part to contribute musically and bring the multiple influences and experience to the table. The music is more intense without loosing the Sacred Dawn sound.
           Saturday we got to start recording Eds drum tracks after spending friday night gettting setup. We got about 7 songs done by the end of the day. 11 hours. Not too bad. We have about 4 more tunes with Ed which we plan to knock out by sunday night. Then we start recording guitars and bass after we get back from Texas. We will keep you up to date with some photos as well.

Hey everybody. Just wanted to give you a little update on what we have been up to. After some recent line up changes we have been working very hard on writing new material for the next album. We are very excited about what has been written so far and what is yet to come. Plans are to start recording in Feb with Chuck Macak at Electrowerks Recording. If things go well hopefully it will be ready for release this summer. For anybody interested in getting a sample of the new material we will be debuting a few tunes at The Metro in Chicago this saturday Jan 31st for Scott Davidsons birthday bash.
       Thats it for now. Keep it real and keep it Metal!!!!

The following is a statement from the coordinator of the Indianapolis Metal Fest:

..tr>..table>

SATURDAY SHOW CANCELLED! Due to issues entirely beyond our control, the Saturday show at 5100 W. 38th Street, Indianapolis has been cancelled. More details will be available on our website soon. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Make-up dates are being considered, and we are certain to file legal action against the parties responsible for this situation. Thanks to all who came out to the show on Friday night -- it was a GREAT crowd and the bands were amazing. Though we were unable to give you the show we wanted to give you due to problems and code violations within the venue, I think we all pulled together as best we could and made the Friday night show one hell of a good show. Special thanks to Morgan and Mercedes Lander from Kittie for being so exceptionally cool. Extra special thanks to Dino Cazares for invaluable advice and support during the show. A major announcement and statement will be made concerning this issue in a day or so. Rob Mason
