Sorry - Manic Monday's not happening this week... We're bummed, but we've got some meetings that we can't reschedule, and our new manager (!!!) is heading out of town, so we can't reschedule them. That's right - Mike is on our contact page, so you know it's official!
Besides being pumped about working with Mike, we're coming off of a very busy few days! We played the Buzzfest at LP Field in Nashville on Friday with bands like Papa Roach, Sick Puppies, Seether, Shinedown, etc, and despite a bit of rain, it was a lot of fun. The stage was a little wet, so I was close to some banana-peel-type falls, but luckily I stayed on two feet the whole show! Matt's amp head didn't work, so the guitarist from Adalene was cool enough to let us use his. Saved the day!
We played another show at the Rock Bar at 11pm that was put together by Irish Nancy of Nashvillerock.net, and despite a long day, it was an incredibly fun show. First time I got to use my in-ears at a show, and it was like a dream - I could actually HEAR everything! Hoping that'll step up the MB game (or at least mine) from here on out.
We've got some new tshirts, so they'll show up on the website really soon... We really like them, and we hope you will too!! We also got some tour posters made, and I'm not sure if we're going to sell them off the website (I don't know what shipping would cost for them since we'd have to keep them flat - we'll crunch some numbers to see what we'd have to sell them at to make it worth it, but still reasonable), but if we do, we'll probably just sell autographed ones.
We are most likely playing a show in Murfreesboro, TN on friday, so keep your ear to the ground if you're in the area. Then Clarksville next wednesday.
Again - sorry for bailing on Manic Monday... We don't want to ever leave you hanging - but there's just no other way to fit everything in... We'll make it up to you somehow...
