Hello folks,

It's been quite some time. In fact, I think it's been a couple of years since I last wrote a blog for the band. My excuses are many but none of them are really that great so I do apologize. Regardless, here I am. Although I do excel at Ebonics (courtesy of Chris Law), slang and sarcasm, my grammatical skills are lacking. Lucky for me, my fiancee and my drummer are grammatical whizzes, so I'll give this a go.

We're loving the fact that we get to play new tunes night after night. If you're a musician you know how frustrating it can be to play the same songs for years straight. If you're not a musician, then let me explain it to you like this: Playing the same songs for 3 years straight is kind of like wearing the same clothes for 3 years straight. No matter how cool your jeans or Diesel shoes are, after time passes you begin to long for something else. Yes, you can accessorize and spice things up, but at the end of the day it's still the same outfit. The band has indeed been longing for something else; something fun and something rocking. That is exactly what happened when the Michaelis brothers locked themselves away in the studio for months and months. The rock and roll that has been buried in our souls, has finally emerged. We hope you get the chance to come and see us live, or go out and buy the record.

It's our goal for the coming year, to bring you more photos, videos/podcasts, blogs, and of course nonsense and sarcasm. We hope you enjoy.

Thanks for your support.
Kevin
