Hello friends and fans of The Beat,

We would like to direct your attention towards a new sexy man floating around in our top 4 friends. His name is Tom Davin and he is now the official drummer for TSB. Tom is an extremely talented and serious musician, and an all-around super-nice guy. We have all been enjoying his presence greatly for the last month or so and we are all looking forward to working with him more. So stop by Tom's Myspace and leave him some love. And while you're at it, stop by all of our myspaces, because the entire band's personal sites are now posted. A little something to let you all get to know us a little better as people. Awwwww.

In other News:

-Work on the new album is going great. We have been writing and finalizing the songs for our month-long trip to HALO studios that begins with producers TJ Swan and Jon Wyman in mid-July . We have been rehearsing at our most frequent pace ever and are really looking forward to getting back in the studio again for the first time since before Mike's unfortunate accident. (See: previous blogs. Booooo!)

-Our first full-band live shows with Tom (and Mike. Yayy!) are scheduled to begin at the end of the month. Our first home-show back (Portland) we're scheduling as I write this. So, stay tuned for our epic return to our hometown. Also, we are planning two more Hot Topic in-store static events- one each in NH and VT and we will be performing at Bull Moose Music in Bangor for record store day on April 18th!

-As a special treat for you "Hard-Core" TSB fans we are finishing up a new recorded version of a certain song that is frequently requested that we have never recorded before! (oooohhhh) I wonder what it could be? You'll just have to be patient 'til it hits our myspace.

So that's what's new with us. What are you all up to?

Love
-
Daniel, Mike, Andy and Tom
