NEW DEMO!!!!!

I am so excited!! We have finally updated our demo. Check out our myspace to hear the new songs. They sound so much better than the other recordings. I'm still not 100% happy, cause I mean, how good could they really sound, they were recorded in the garage!! But, they're a 100% improvement from the other songs. Once we get 8 originals, we'll have enough for a CD and then we'll hit the real studio! Man, now THAT'S gonna be fun!

Still fun Sober!!

Ok, second week in a row, I played WITHOUT BEER!!! And I found out, it's still fun. I bet I'll be back on the beer next week, though.
So here's what...we had a REALLY good crowd, Ralph and Ted were working the bar, Amy and Jarrel were there for the first set (Always nice to see them). There's a new guy there working the door named Ricardo who was doing a great job and we had a fun group of girls to start off the night. They were already dancing (and drinking) before we even got started, so I took that as a pretty good sign! The rest of the night followed suit - there was a really nice guy named Allen who contributed to our Sobriety foundation fund - AKA the tip jar and was very complimentary. Later on throughout the night, there were a lot of compliments and some really enthusiastic applause. One of the coolest things was that we met with 3 different people who asked to take our card to either where they work or a bar they frequent to try to get us in to those places. One was right on Clearwater Beach, one in Tampa and even one in Sarasota!! (I figured we could make a weekend getaway out of that one!) You know I have to take Sean out of the area in order to get him to sit still, so that might be a good one! Anyway, great night, although KC didn't make it for the first time in a while - he was missed, but we had a lot of fun. See you next week!

I'm BEHIND!

Hey, haven't been on top of this lately - no particular reason other than having a 4 day hangover. I went to see Drunky Brewster, Sean's other band, and someone must have fed me booze without me knowing it because I KNOW I didn't drink THAT much. But, wow...Saturday night was a blur, woke up Sunday only to stay in bed until 7pm that night. I'm on the wagon, ladies and gentlemen...yes, it's true. Anyhow, last Tuesday went well, but we left an hour early because it was pretty slow. Met a couple of really nice groups from Ohio. Nice married couple and then 4 sweet, very well behaved young men. All in all, it was a good night and I got home early enough to be less of a Wednesday mess. Looking forward to this coming Tuesday, I've been practicing a lot and it should be a lot of fun. We're still working on our new originals - we have 4 sets of lyrics all together, as you all know, #1, Sunrise in Miami, is complete, #2 titled, "Turn This Heartbreak Around" is almost complete and we have lyrics for "I'm Gone" and "The simple things in life". We're on our way to a full fledged Originals CD!! I'm so happy....

Hope you all like the new YouTube video - scroll down to view it if you haven't seen it yet. What a great time in Tennessee!! Hearing the accent alone is worth the trip! Boy y'all....them there country folk - they sure do talk funny! It really is such a beautiful and fun place to visit. And we had 5 whole days with NO RAIN or HUMIDITY!! Trust me, coming from the Florida summer, that was a real treat!

It’s good to be home

It's nice to go on vacation, but it's always good to come home. We landed back in town on Monday, got to recoup a bit and then were ready to hit the bar on Tuesday night. Had a fantastic time - excellent crowd, loads of feedback and dancing all night. I didn't get a chance to write last week because we flew out early Wednesday morning, but last week was equally successfull. I am just loving this more and more every week. We were able to jam a bit with Sean's friend, Link while we were in Tennessee, and as you may have noticed, we rerecorded Sunshine in Miami. If you listen to it again, you'll hear that there's now a lead guitar part!! Thanks, Link!!

[check out his myspace as well:]

He is a fantastic musician and all around very cool guy...absolute riot!! He took us around Nashville, got to check out the local bands on Broadway - there's a LOT of talent in that town - what an amazing place.

We were glad to see KC out again this past Tuesday; it's always great when he comes out and of course some new faces as well - lots of dancing and quite a few compliments by the end of the night. All in all, couldn't have gone better. Hope to see you there next Tuesday!!
