Hey fans and friends: It's been awhile so I thought I'd drop a blog to catch y'all up on some of our happenings. Sorry for staying away from MYSPACE for such a long time. While it's exciting to communicate with everyone, there's a lot of smack that goes around this site too, so to maintain a peaceful spirit, I like to take a break from time to time.
As many of you already know, Ben Matthews is no longer a part of our project. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the details of his departure, we'll say that it was mutual. We've known Ben since he was just 13 years old playing open mikes and saturdays at Guitar Center. We took a big gamble working with someone so young - long story short, our gamble did not pay off. The break up was not friendly, that's unfortunate because it could have been. Unfortunately, there is a business side to music and some folks don't do very well with that part, I will leave it at that. We would be open to discussing this part privately with anyone who wishes to.
The good news is that we now have a KILLER rhythm section. Chris Peterson on the drums, Taylor on the bass, Lee on guitar is a very rock solid combination. It is so exciting to hear the music played at the right tempo and consistency. We are so very inspired by this teams tenacity and dedication to our music, the level of confidence is undisputable and you'll be able to tell when you hear us play next. I've also been SWIMMING and losing lots of inches! But even more importantly, the constant cardio of swimming has given me even more vocal control and power. I had a recent bout with severe allergies that took away my voice for about a week, but I'm back stronger than ever now!
We have a backlog of original tunes that we'll be working on adding to the set and recording in the near future. We love the studio and "givng birth" to new productions. We are also trying to branch out to new venues and regions. Likely we'll be featured in the upcoming LONESTAR RALLY in November and that is very exciting indeed!
You know WolfeBlitzer, we get down but never out - our hearts get sick but we never die. While there's breath in me and Lee and we are together, there will be WOLFEBLITZER - mark it down. We are always on the radar, so we are always a target, attention is attention. We'll stay focused on the prize, we love those who love our kind of metal and we'll die trying to please them and ourselves. take care everyone, life is very short, live it up and FORGETTA BOUT IT!

p.s. we are looking for another guitarist, but we are in no hurry, the next guy has to be the right guy. We need an adult teamplayer who works hard, can rehearse 3 times per week, gig 2-3 times per month, pro gear, transportation, job, can share room rent and not adverse to travelling regionally and ultimately overseas. I like a guitarist with a very, solid right hand rhythm chunkier than hell, but he needs to play leads (not during the verses though). Send em our way, thanks so much and stay cool.
