Dear YHWH,

Thank you for our guitars and our amps. Thank you for our drums and our cymbals. Thank you for our new cool recording mics. Thank you for a room that we can use to record in. Thank you for a free install of Logic Pro Studio. Thank you for a free recording interface. Thank you for studio monitors. Thank you for neighbors that don't complain about 6 hour long recording sessions, and practices twice a week. Thank you that Brandon and his wife get good gas milage. Thank you for creativity to write these songs. Thank you for generous hearts and financial backers to fund it all. Thank you for prayers. Thank you for guidance. Thank you for all your help, we couldn't do it without you.

Amen.

...Here's some videos from this weekend's demo session.

THEY NOT READY

Thursday night we practiced for 5 hours straight. We finished up one song and got it ready to demo this weekend. Afterwards, we made a quick run up to kroger and got some hot dogs. Grilled them over a firepit in the backyard.


Woke up Friday morning and finished up another song, which means we have completed 6 songs and have them ready to demo/record. After we have demos of all 6 songs, we'll critique them some more for another month or so and then record them for real in mid may. Brandon may need some new cymbals by then though....

Renaissance

It has been SO LONG since we've been this busy.
Practice THRICE a week now, not including some get togethers between me and Tyler to hammer out some more guitars. Planning a benefit concert in Denton on April 24th, a bake sale/acoustic show on May 1st, recording more demos next weekend, planning recording in mid may, and booking another midwest tour for july. Not to mention working on design work for the cd and lyric booklet and edit film for the DVD.
Its sweet though cause everyone's super into it and doing what they can to help out. We've also been blessed with an opportunity to talk about this whole thing in front of a church, so hopefully we'll be able to get some more donations that way.

had some trouble in practice this weekend with a song, but I guess sometimes you've gotta have a bad practice to appreciate the good. Keep us in your prayers.

...AND PRAISE THE LORD FOR EASTER!
-Ryan
