Hey Everyone,

So much exciting stuff going on in the world of Clarias...

October 7th marks the start of our very first tour of Japan! We've been asked by the USO to play a series of concerts for our troops stationed in Japan and Guam. We'll be traveling half-way around the world to bring them a piece of home and to thank them for all that they have sacrificed to help keep our country safe. We can't wait to play for and meet some of the fine people of the Armed Services. Of course, we're going to be filming, taking pictures of and blogging about all of our experiences there because we want to bring all of our fans along with us, so stay tuned!

We've also been working hard with our new mentor, Kristen Bredimus of www.ourstage.com, who has taken the band under her wing and we are working day and night, producing a documentary about us in conjunction with the documentary channel! The doc is entitled "As Loud As I Can", and it's about the perils of being an unsigned power pop band that is just doing everything they can to live the dream.

We've been filming tons and have been meeting some incredible people from the industry... all who are guiding us in our journey of trying to become the first pop act to EVER break without the help of a record label.

It's never been done, but when has that ever stopped us before? Will we be able to get everything together and pull it off? Will the cosmos align in our favor, or will we be stuck forever combating the forces of the universe??  We will need preparation and opportunity to meet (that's what my inspirational poster said LUCK was...) and you're gonna be on the journey with us.

We need you, Clarias fan!  We have a whole slew of websites that we'd like you to check us out on, and become fans:
