Our cd finaly came out. :)
I posted a link to it in my journal, but it was somewhat spammy.. so if you dont want to see anything remotely spamish.. dont go there. ;)

Im certainly not expecting it to get rich or famous from it, but I am hopeful that it will help us move forward.

I engineered and mixed the whole thing myself.
It came out 'ok' but not as great as I was hoping it would. Im still a novice engineer after all.
Learned a lot.. just gotta try and apply it to the next project and do more better!

Hey Jason, congratulations :nice:

Always a very exciting time.

Thanks man. :)

Did you guys have a record release party?

nah. Im not sure if we will or not.
We arent really so big localy that it would be a huge deal if we did, and the cd is already out in circulation since cornerstone.
Seems kinda strange to have a cd release party after it's already out..

I never met anyone that had one BEFORE the CD was released! :D

cool, congratulations!

Just saw this man.......you shoulda PM'd me......I don't believe I have work, so I am gonna try and gather up a lil crew to rock out with you. :nice: What could I wear to help my chances with Jewels?

That album cover is tight.

The background music is good... though quite honestly the lead singers voice annoys me.

Speaking on behalf of people with annoying voices. :nice:

yeah it's a neat place, and the food is awsome! :)

congrats man


::starts buliding shrine to RWZ::

Well thanks Dawn, but you dont have to build a shrine. Im stilla nobody in the music biz. :P

I don't believe I have work, so I am gonna try and gather up a lil crew to rock out with you.
That'd be awsome man. :) thanks!

What could I wear to help my chances with Jewels?
Maybe a suit made out of hundred dollar bills?

The background music is good... though quite honestly the lead singers voice annoys me.

Yeah, Julies got one of those voices people either love or they hate. I dig it, but not everybody rides the same bus I suppose. :)

Speaking on behalf of people with annoying voices.

I dont think you voice is annyoing. it's very natural sounding.

Congratz RWZ. Thats an exciting time man. Hope all goes well for ya. I am plugging away at things myself. Us struggling musicians rock..LOL You ever end up out in the Houston area let me know, Ill show up ta see ya, or yall can come sit in with me and my guys for a bit. :)

I like the singers voice and a chick that plays guitar well is awesome. The only thing that is a downer is the fact she is married to the bass player. There goes the fantasy element. :(

RWZ, be sure to have someone take pics of the show.

Yeah I like her voice too. And she is improving it all the time. She's a cool, humble girl who is always trying to make herself a better musician. Both of those guys are awsome. We're like family. :)

She plays a nice guitar too. :)
nice gretsch hollow body 'ala Brian Setzer.

We ususaly record our shows, so we can see them later and see what he need to improve on. I put a couple on DVD. maybe some day I will take a tune or two, and comrpess it to something broadband accessible and put it on our website.
Then you can hear my tempos fluctuate LIVE!
:P

Like the man said, you're only nobody if nobody loves ya. :)

I like it, although the dresses with pants thing takes getting used to.

That's a euphemism. :D

I like it, although the dresses with pants thing takes getting used to.

Yeah, dont ask me about her fashion choices. She sometimes wears old mans bowling pants as well.
Funny though.. I have seen a couple other gals recently wearing dresses or skirts with pants on too. All this time I had thought it was just the Jules was real modest (and she is).. but it seems to be some new fashion "thing".
I am hopelessly lost when it comes to fashion. My last band spent 6 years trying to get me to stop wearing bikers shorts.

That's a euphemism.
Not at all. At least it wasnt intended to be. You just dont really have a 'character' voice like Julie, or people like Perry Ferrel OR Geddy Lee... peoples who's voices seem to be the defining element of a band.. the thing people associate with the band..
Your voice is more mellow and natural sounding, which suits the style of your album nicely.
I think the overall songwriting defines your music, and your voice is just one element in the overall picture.
Sorta like Paul Simon maybe.. not that you sound like him.. but in the same way as you.. his voice is an element of the music rather than the defining character of it.
maybe that didnt make sense.
anyway.. it wasnt intended as an insult

I know it wasn't meant as an insult. Thx, Jason. :)

nice explanation on the voice thing RWZ. omparing anyone to Simon cant be taken as anything but a compliment. :) I'm jealous..LOL The stuff sounds great though man. Many congrats yet again on the release. :)

:eek3:

LOL. not the spandex.
:P

Email them to me! :mad:

I have you guys in the car stereo right now :)

Hurry up and get famous so you can come to Perth and we can hang out.

Commin to australia would be awsome. :)

We have our show tonight.. if you live in chicago come see us. :)

I will be handing out freww sweaty hugs after the show to any females.
Any male secure in his masculinity can have a 3-pat hug. (and maybe a squeeze on the ass)

sorry had to go to Champaign today to finally payoff my last standing bill......got home a lil late :hmm:

Hope it's a kick ass show duder :nice:
