a respite...

Posted: January 30th, 2006

greetings...
just wanted to thank all of you for coming out & supporting the band on our 1st leg of '06. we truly appreciate your enthusiasm & encouragement for pushing the envelope. while we may not always fall gracefully, w. great risks come great rewards. we'll do our best to pursue them.

we have a couple days off now. plan to get a bit more recording done. we are still working on the album. at this point we are looking at some add'l songs, & will not likely be finished until late spring. hope to release in the fall. it could've been much sooner, as we've already finished one version of the album - but we feel it can be that much better if we just put some more time into it.

the hd / dvd is still alive & well. we are currently in the editing stage & are still moving forward. no dates as of yet.

snoe.down is shaping up to be a great event, in the 1st of what we hope is an annual gathering. the folks @ great northeast & the town of lake placid have been great & are very excited. really looking forward to getting in some turns & playing outdoors on the mt. saturday afternoon.

just a quick refresher: generally, our shows have a strict curfew (usually due to union restrictions), meaning we need to be off stage @ a VERY specific time. add'l seconds can literally cost thousands of dollars. therefore, it is very important that you guys get into the venues on time. we'll be ready to go & will hold off playing as long as we can, but the quicker you get, the sooner we can play, the longer the show can be. if you can buy your tickets in advance, get there on time, account for a searches, ticketing lines, etc. it will help things run a bit more smoothly. we will do what we can on our end to assure everyone gets inside in a timely, respectful manner.

enjoy the rest of the shows.
al.
