Hey everyone... here's a bit of an update for ya. BUT FIRST....
I've been spending a number of hours on the internet lately promoting the band and I've come to find that there are many fans of this band that have no idea that we are still a functioning band... no idea that "Looking Through" was released 7 months ago! Basically, my point is that we have nobody helping us or giving us money to promote the CD or to tour... which makes it tough to do so. I've seen a bunch of you posting some ideas for promoting this band. I thank you all for taking such an active interest... Throughout the US, many commercial and college radio stations have the new CD... call your local station and request "Something New" or whatever. Fuck it, call KRock in NY or LA and request "Slow" or "Fall Again". The nation's biggest college station is WSOU in New Jersey their request line is (973) 761-9768. I know I want to get out and play live. If you guys want to see us on tour, this is how we need to make it happen. Promotion is key. That being said, we are trying to get something together for late summer or fall...
SO NOW... HERE IT IS. THE BIG UPDATE!!!!!!
The "Acoustic"/Covers project is well under way. Drums are tracked, Bass is covered, and as of tonight Guitars are finished... Keyboards and Vocals left to go then it's mixing time. Everything is sounding amazing. The "acoustic" material is quite unique. A completely different approach to the songs. Don't let the word "acoustic" scare you either... This is no MTV unplugged. As for the cover songs... I can only say that they all have taken on new life as we have made them our own while staying true to the originals... These are not going to be simply "Metaled-out" or "Industrialized" typical cover songs.. We have chosen what we feel are some great songs. Some are "classics" and some are more modern. That being said, If you think you know what to expect, you're probably wrong.
And that video?? Still working on it... It's looking great and I can't wait for you all to see it. (on MTV? - would be nice, huh?) But unfortunately, these things take time and we all work day jobs...
hasta la vista,
TOM
