Man, do the world a favor and join us on Facebook. Ironweed's a relatively young, meaning newer band only in existence since March 11, 2007, & we've just released our first record Indian Ladder October 21, 2008, I can promise you in the past month we have been sounding massive & we're beginning to write some new material.

We've had a little switch-a-roo on the 2nd guitar duties with Mike Guizzardi joining us this past December. Ryan Rapp is busy working on with his band Jaws on their debut so we just decided it was best due to scheduling and such & Mr. Guizzardi has been a long time friend & collaborator with both Brendan & I so it's actually been a little easier to get the band firing on all cylinders just due to our history. Plus, Mike Guizzardi is one picky motherfucker & probably the best rhythm & lead player you'll find within a 300 mile radius. Plus that fucking Italian bastard had a custom Solando built just prior to joining us & then the bastard goes out & gets a fucking white flying V. As you all, Mr. Fucking Michael Mariano Vitali was planning on purchasing a nice old whore of a flying V as soon as he could so you know I must love this guy to not just kick him outta the band on the spot when he arrived with that baby.

Well, it's nearly 3am & it's probably obvious to all you that'll never read this that Ironweed is ready to brutally destroy your mom's VA gina, take your lunch money, & rape your virgin ears with our fucking loud ass heavy metal rock & roll machine guns. Alright you motherfuckers, I've had enough of your shit for one day. Cheers!!!
drop me a note at mmvitali@gmail.com and please, PLEASE buy something or just send us money. We're needing all the help we can get $-wise as we're gearing up to fly our dumb asses down to Tejas for SXSW, booze & BBQ.

hey, you know what? While we're talking guitars & shit, I just wanted to clarify when Ironweed wrote & recorded Indian Ladder we were just a four man band. Jeffro-Vox (only for 4 fucking months before we entered the studio- hear that, he wrote all them pretty words in 4 months of knowing us boys), Me, Mr. Vitali on guitar- all the guitars on the record, that's why there nice & simple, just like I likes my women folk, Brendan Slater on the bass- yeah, best bassist forever in the history of this shit hole called Albany, & the fucking mighty crazy-never sleeping-building his own private fucking helicopter while raising two youngins' keep a wife happy, running the compound & being a fucking stand up dude building DrumArt with his teeth & bare hands (check it at DrumArt.com) James some funny irish middle name I won't mention Feck on drums. Us four wrote & recorded Indian Ladder over 4 power days with the amazing young hunk of a man/ enginEAR, Benny Grotto. In all seriousness, the dude is total hot! I'd totally have relations with the guy. Well, like I was saying the 4 Ironweed dudes plus Benny Grotto at the board at Mr. Craig Riggs swank pad known as Mad Oak Studios for 4 days during the end of March/ beginning of April in lovely downtown Allston, Ma. Did I ever tell you I used to live there & was a bike messenger for 6 &1/2 years, & played in the band Ajna Chakra with Ryan Bell & Chris Jones. Whoa!!! Our shit was tight, droney, intricate, loud, punk, outsight sort of rock band. Anyways, as Paul Harvey would say, "& now you know, the rest of the story...". MV
