WISER TIME

September 2009 Newsletter

Greetings Wiser Timers! September is drawing to a close, and we hope that you've all been doing well and getting ready for the fall. The season is typically Carmen and the band's most creative period and we're excited for the changes, and we want to keep you up-to-date with what's been happening with the new record and the band.

- As we told you last, the band and a group of rowdy friends entered E Studios in Brooklyn, NY, on 4.20 to lay down tracks for the coming record, "Beggars And Thieves." We've been taking our time, and the album is coming along great and is almost finished. We won't be releasing the album until 1.1.2010 however, you'll be able to hear a sample track "Love And Devotion," at www.myspace.com/wisertime ........listen for it SOON!

Pre-orders will be available in December.

- While the band hasn't been performing out much while we work on the album, Carmen will be performing a charity event on 10.16 @ 6:00PM in Old Bridge, New Jersey, USA in support of "Banding Together: A Benefit for the Sponsylitis Association of America" for Blow Up Radio. Lazlo and Blow Up Radio have been such strong supporters of the indie music scene for many years now, and we want to give our support back to them, so please visit www.blowupradio.com for details on how you can make a difference.

- Carmen will also be making a solo performance at Fontana's in NYC for our friends at Music Gorilla. He'll being playing an intimate set beginning at 8:00pm. Check him out

- While we're on the subject of giving: remember to download your copy of "What You Give - Unplugged" from your favorite online music store. ALL proceeds are being donated to a non-profit organization that Carmen works with called Musicians On Call. It's a small amount to give that makes a big difference in the lives of many sick adults and children. Learn more about them at www.musiciansoncall.org

- Carmen has teamed up with Sommatone Amplification to create a custom signature model head called the "Vibe 45 CS" which will be finished in the coming months. Sommatone is one of the best sounding hand-wired boutique amplifier makers in the world today, and we're excited to showcase this incredible head to audiences. Check out www.sommatone.com
