New Video + Other News!
It's a new year and we're ready to get started again. Last year was filled with many obstacles and one huge opportunity for us that we could not take advantage of. We hope to finally start playing again and finally finish our cd. We've also been writing new songs cause we weren't too happy with some of the ones we had. We figured if you've waited this long for our new cd, you can wait a little longer. We do plan on posting new samples for your listening pleasure. As you can tell from the front page, we did a quick little video for one of the new songs that will be on the new cd. Let us know what you think.

We're so excited for finally getting our break after all these years and we hope we can make our fans and the Valley proud. We'll keep you posted as we get more details.

THE WORLD GETS IN THE WAY
We're still here even though you haven't heard from us. As much as we'd love to be playing and bringing you new music, sometimes the world gets in the way.

Go to our Myspace page and you can listen to 3 songs that will be on our next CD. Two of them have been on there for a while but we just added "Words to Say". Have a listen and let us know what you think.

NEW SHOW AND ACOUSTIC SONGS!
We will be playing this Saturday, Dec. 10th at Art Awakenings in McAllen. The show starts at 7:00pm and features us plus two other bands. We hope to see you there!

In other news, Go to the Music section to download a couple of acoustic songs that we've recorded just for you. It's something we promised a long time ago and we finally got a couple of them up. We actually finished these songs about 3 or 4 months ago and even though we only spent a few days on it, it actually took several months to do. I believe we did about 8 songs and Joe should be mixing them and we will be posting them as they are done. I'ts not really a CD we will be producing but I did a cover and titled it "Simple Times." The Music and the cover will only be available through download. It has songs from our Simply Evolution cd,from our Time To Breathe cd and an old song that has never been recorded. The cover was actually a version that I did for Time to Breathe but it didn't make the cut. I'm glad I get to use it for this cause I really liked it. I will be putting wallpapers of it up soon. We hope you enjoy the music and let us know what you think. That's all for now and see you at the show!

BAROCK SHOW CANCELLED!
It seems that Barock is no more and that means our show will not be happening. That really sucks for a lot of bands cause Barock was one of the very few places that supported original rock. Hopefully other clubs will take the lead and have more original bands. Very doubtful but one can only hope. Oh well, in other news...

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
First of all, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year's. Now, on to the resolutions...
As a band we would like to start recording and finishing things a lot quicker than what we have in the past. We Want to play more than we did last year, practice more, write more and promote this band more. We also don't just want to write more songs but we want to write better songs. As the webmaster, my resolution is to keep up with the website and update it more than I have in the past. It's easier said than done but with a little effort anything is possible.
Finally, I know we ended the year in tragedy but it's a new year with new possibilities and a new hope that things will finally turn our way.

12/11/04

REST IN PEACE...
There has been a great loss for one of the members of the band. Eddie's father lost his battle with cancer last night and is no longer with us. I am at a loss for words to explain how sad we are and I can't even begin to comprehend how Eddie and his family must feel. The only thing we can do is be as supportive as we possibly can. I ask that you leave your thoughts and messages in the message board so you can help us help Eddie through this tragic event in his life.

WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING FREEDOM FEST.
We will not be playing Freedom Fest but we ask that you still go show your support. Thank you.

AK'S & BAROCK SHOWS
We had a blast playing these two shows and we'd like to thank all of you that were able to make it out. We will try and have video of the AK's show as soon as possible. By the way, a big thanks to Pete from Rozin for recording the show for us. We'd also like to thank James for providing the sound equipment to most of our shows. We really appreciate it.

We had a lot of fun at both shows but the Ak's set was cut a little short. At Barock we played two 1 hour sets and we even pulled out some old songs which was both scary and fun. We hadn't played or practiced those songs in almost 2 years so we did mess up here n there but I don't think anybody noticed. We also enjoyed the lovely ladies that got up on stage to dance to "Bailarina". That never gets old...trust us.

All in all, it felt good to have back to back shows. Going to work the following days didn't feel good, but playing at night sure as hell did!

We'd like to thank those of you that were able to make it out on such short notice to the battle of the bands last night.

FESTIVA INTERVIEW!
Well some of you may have read the story in the Festiva but for those that didn't, here it is. Read Story
It's not exactly what we were expecting but what can you do. It's full of mistakes like calling us a cover band, saying the CD has 10 tracks when it has 12, and comparing us to Madonna. Give me a freaking break! Other than that, I guess it's alright but we were expecting more of a CD Review.
