Hello New York

Last night's show at The Parkside Lounge was straight up awesome.  I want to thank everyone that made it out so much for coming to Rock The Turn.  The December Sessions has officially been released to the world now that we made some noise downtown.  We premiered two new songs (A Thousand Words and The Sound Of Me Breathing) and I'm very excited to upload the audio.

The next step is finding out from you the people where we are taking the show next.

There's a bunch of venues we are currently scouting, but I want to hear from you guys where you wanna come party with us.  In subsequent posts, I'll have links to all of the possible places, and we'll get on them to Book The Turn so we can go and rock the walls the way we do.  You guys are all a part of this team and we couldn't do it without you.  I think I speak for all four members of our band when I say there's no greater pleasure than getting on stage and playing to a room full of people that helped bring us there.  We're following your lead, so keep on pushing we'll keep on playing.

There will be many pictures available soon I'm sure, along with further information on where we're bringing the next Rock Party.

Have a great memorial day.

Back To Work. . .

So as many of you may have seen, Beth posted her blog and the pictures from Saturday night.  They're amazing and everyone should head over to www.bsquaredphotography.net and check out her two cents.  Endless thank you's for the beautiful imagery of such a memorable evening.

I wanna thank everyone again for being part of The Big Show, and for continuing to support us as we press on.  We love having you out with us, and we wanna party with you.

Last night was our first practice with Chris and Brian since the show.  It was a great time getting back to work and having the first performance behind us.  Now it's time to look ahead to the next show.  It's in the works, and we'll have details for you by the end of the weekend.

We've started working on some new material, crossing our T's and dotting our lower case j's.  

What you can look forward to:

• An updated version of "Setting For A Fairytale"
• New songs: Saturday, Over Now, Sound Of Me Breathing, and a few other yet to be titled songs.  Once we start rough recording these rehearsals, we'll post some bits and pieces so you guys know what you're in for.

At some point in the near future we'll also be releasing some of the live audio from Saturday night, and also heading back to the studio to commence work on the next record.  

We'll see you guys soon.  Keep your eyes peeled.

The Aftermath

What a wild couple of days it has been.  As I alluded to on Saturday night, there are not nearly enough words in the english language to demonstrate just how appreciative and thankful we are for all of your support, and screaming, singing, smiling faces at The Big Show.

It was everything we hoped for and more.  Beth is hard at work getting the pictures up to her blog (www.bsquaredphotography.net) so we can all re-live the memories together.

Now. . It's time to start building new ones.  Where's the next show gonna be?  We'll get to work on that.  In the meantime, I've updated our MySpace Show Listings so you all can come out and sing along.

Also, without any further delay. . My top 5 favorite songs of all time, in no order:

1. David Gray - Lately
2. John Mayer - Wheel
3. Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain
4. Pachelbel's Canon in D Major (You all love it too)
5. I'm leaving the five spot open for now

I will chime back in as to the whys and hows later on.  Also, I'll dig deep and try to fill up number 5.  Leaving it open feels like a little less pressure to me.  Feel free to post your five favorite songs.  We're always looking for new stuff to listen to.  Surprise us.

Thank you all again.  Keep your eyes open.

Coffee Talk

Another day at the office.  Five days until The Big Show.  For any of you that made it out to Gabrielle's this past Saturday, thank you so much.  That was an awesome warm up for the week to come.

As the day rolls on I'll check back in.  I'm thinking about outlining my five favorite guitar solos of all time.  Here's a collection I have in mind that I'll have to whittle down (in no certain order, yet):

Led Zeppelin - Thank You (BBC Sessions)

Metallica - Fade To Black (Ride The Lightning)

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (Black Album)

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (The Wall: Disk 2)

Pink Floyd - Dogs (Animals)

John Mayer Trio - Wait Til Tomorrow (Try!)

John Mayer - Bold As Love (Continuum)

Taking Back Sunday - Miami (Louder Now)

Coheed and Cambria - The Final Cut (Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV)

Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy (Rage Against The Machine)

Somewhere in that list I'll be able to extract my five favorite. Feel free to chime in.

Also, remind me to tell you about KT Tunstall.  "Drastic Fantastic" is a record you're gonna want to pick up.  That's right.
