We're scheduling shows now, as the new album nears completion. Most of the upcoming performances will be in the Gulf Coast area; we're keeping close to home til we wrap the CD and can afford to travel a little more.

Some upcoming shows of note include a headlining stint at the Ocean Springs Music Fest on the beach in OS, MS. Following that we'll be filming our show at the Mary O'Keefe Cultural Center Theater, that should be fun. Then we'll be in Daphne AL, as close to our homebase of Silverhill/Mobile as we've been in over 2 years.

Hope to see you out there somewhere! See our schedule page for dates, details, and directions.

The QUINTAR is here! All the way from the Netherlands, it finally made it through customs and has been living in our studio for a while. We are really enjoying it; it's a uniquely voiced instrument, we are excited to record with it ASAP. You can read more about it, and our other exotic instruments on this page (click here.)

SHOWS THIS SUMMER; we're working with a new booking agent on some shows for later this summer. Our first engagement will be the OCEAN SPRINGS MUSIC FESTIVAL, on July 4. Hope to see you on the beach in OS, MS! Then we've got a few in the works for the East Coast and the mid-West.

NEW ALBUM PROGRESS: the new album is now in the mixing phase. So, we're getting much closer- shouldn't be too much longer now.

we had a lot of fun in Nashville! Stayed right down the road from Cooter's Dukes of Hazzard Museum and the Grand Ole Opry. Somehow we didn't get to visit either place, but we did have a great time in the city. Lady Gia Bathory put on a very cool show, hopefully there will be more 'Minotaur' performances to come. The aerial silk contortion is really awesome to witness, and we really enjoyed all the other performances too. Special thanks to those who attended and made us feel very welcome in TN!

Our stage setup has changed a bit, and this was our first full show featuring some new instrumentation. We're looking forward to exploring the potential of the new configuration

Now, back to work in the studio. We'll be scheduling occasional performances as time permits, and will post updates here an on the Myspace page.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and feel free to send us a message if you have time~

02/02/08

We just came into possession of a case of Transmitter CDs, so we're happy to make these available again.

We'll be heading to Nashville for a show and 3rd & Lindsley on Feb 18. Then it's back to the studio to wrap up the new CD. Almost there!

We've setup a new forum/messagboard recently; the old one got destroyed by spambots. Sorry that you'll have to re-register, but we'd love to have you there if you feel like participating, and this time we've made sure it's secure.

There's also a new VIDEO page; we've compiled several clips HERE.

The QUINTAR is coming~ our new friend from the Netherlands, Edwin Paanakker, has created a very special cutsom instrument for us and it's on its way to us now. We're very excited to receive it and work it into our shows and hopefully on the new album as well. It's a real beauty- you can read/hear more about it at Edwin's page: http://www.myspace.com/eadvine

Also this month we bid farewell to a fond friend, John Whitehouse. He'll be missed very much.

11/01/07

well, the Coveys were a lot of fun; we enjoyed performing for the large crowd and really appreciate our fans making it possible to receive the 2005 Favorite Alternative Band Award. Thanks again to Cheli Strumila at the Coast Observer Magazine and the Beau Rivage for putting on such a fantastic event. Here's a video of our performance:

Also, the Anne Rice Vampire Ball went well, and we hope to be posting some pictures and possibly a video from that event. Again, special thanks to Josh McNaughton~ is he a great guy or what?!

More Bellydancing news coming soon- Anstrom/Atira will hold the 3rd Annual Gala event in December, at which Analog Missionary will perform new material and several visiting bellydance troupes are scheduled to make appearances. Maybe we'll see you there, if you're in the Gulf Coast region? More details to be posted soon.

09/09/07

AM will be performing on October 8th at the Covey awards, an MTV-Grammy style ceremony (complete with Red Carpet arrivals and live performances) at the Beau Rivage Casino & Resort in Biloxi MS. A.M. is nominated in both the Favorite Alternative and Favorite Rock band categories, and will receive the award for 2005 Favorite Alternative Band (the ’05 ceremony was cancelled due to hurricane Katrina.) The event is hosted by Coast Nightlife Observer magazine.

A.M. is also performing at the Anne Rice Les Temps des Vampires Ball in New Orleans on Oct 26, to be held at the Howlin’ Wolf. The Ball will feature charitable raffles and auctions with proceeds going to the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity.

Anstrom recently returned from the Bellydance Superstars seminar in Cancun, Mexico. Her Bellydance school located near Fairhope, AL is thriving and plans are for it to expand soon.

AM appreciates the help it received in the recent Lollapalooza contest, voting took them to 14 place out of thousands of entries from around the world. Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction) and his Recording Academy/Grammy Staff associates hand-picked the top 20 bands, which included AM.

Tony and Kevin are now working with European luthier Edwin Paanakker, who’s building them some one-of-a-kind specialty instruments. Mark adds Po Boy Drums to his list of endorsements.

06/06/07

endorsement news: Mark is officially endorsing the "WingKey" product. Check it out, drummers- no more grated knuckles or numb fingers after setting up! More details coming soon at www.xush.net

05/05/07

New endorsement (yeah, we're gearheads~)

* Mark is now an AXIS PERCUSSION Endorser
AM thanks Axis for their support; we've had quite a bit of their gear in our arsenal over the years, and now we'll be using even more of it!

Also, we're trying out a new service on the Eventful website that allows folks to request an AM performance in their city- please feel free to sign up and let us know, it's a good way to prepare for the next tour. Another interesting feature of the site is that you can import your LastFM or iTunes listening data very easily, and this allows the site to keep up with all your favorite bands and lets you know when they're visiting your area.

04/15/07

nothing new happened this week

12/08/06

Working hard on the new album, shooting for an early/mid '07 release. This thread will update the progress (click here) There's already a few pics from the studio sessions; hoping to have some audio soon. Probably won't be any shows till after the album's done, but you never know...

Drop us a line on Myspace or the forum, if you haven't already- thanks for keeping up with us!

11/20/06

Progress on the album still continues; we've got 13 pretty solid compositions that are shaping up as definite contenders for the disc. Planning to wrap up drum tracking early in December. In the meantime, Anstrom's 'AtirArts' Dance Studio is staying very busy and her upcoming Gala Event on Nov 30 will mark AM's last performance of 2006. We missing touring, but it's the only way we're ever going to get this album done!

Also, we've added the SnoCap store front-end app to our list of E-vendors- if you're looking to DL any AM tunes, you can do so there, I believe they use Paypal for transacting. It looks like this, and anyone can paste the code on editable pages to help spread it around:

feel free to embed this html code on any page you manage, if you'd like to share it:

<embed src="http://void.snocap.com/s/T3-31324-ZZSCN32ENQ-4/" width="425" height="300" style="background: url(http://void.snocap.com/b/T3-31324-ZZSCN32ENQ-4/);"/>

Thanks for keeping up with us- please feel free to check in and say hi at the forum, we'd love to hear from ya!

8/23/06

been a while since an update- let's see... what's going on? Well, we're off the road for a while, no more shows on the books at the moment. We're in the studio, cranking away at the new album. We'll keep you posted on that~

new drum gear endorsement to announce; Mark's working with Turk Masters cymbals. They'll be featured on the new album, and the tour thereafter. More deals in the works for some great equipment!

Also, our first album, Transmitter, is almost sold out; but even after it does, it's now available on iTUNES for download, if you do that kind of thing. You can DL the entire album HERE.

More pics from the studio coming soon, we'll post them in the Myspace Group or the forum here at AM.com. Hope everyone's doing well out there. Stop by and say HI if you get the chance!

5/26/06

AM is nominated for an '06 Independent Music Award, as best regional act. We'd sure appreciate a vote if you have the time, thanks! VOTE HERE

(update after the fact: we lost to some 'weiner' band. It's OK though. We always lose. It's become a point of pride to us. We'll keep you posted on any upcoming contests we are able to lose as well!)

05/02/06

Had a great time in OS, MS last weekend! Was a little strange because many of our longtime friends are no longer in the area, and we really missed seeing them there. But we did get to see some of our bestest compadres again, that was really nice. Met lots of new folks this time too. HUGE THANKS to James at BLVD Martini for making the event non-smoking, we REALLY appreciate that a lot. Turnout wasn't adversely effected, and we ended up selling out of CDs- we'll have to plan a little better for next time. Sorry about that!

We should have some new material to debut at the next few shows, and writing/recording for the new album is underway again-

EATV recently added our Lilith video to their rotation, and it came in at #2 and is still there in it's 2nd week. We'd like to thank them, and encourage you to visit their site and vote for us if you have the time- it helps us get more spins there. Thanks!

we have some new gear endorsements coming through that we'll unveil soon. Much thanks to everyone who's keeping up with the site, we hope to see you out there somewhere soon!

04/08/06

Got a few more shows on the books for the summer, and an abbreviated tour toward the west, and then it's back into the studio. We've decided we have got to hunker down and get this album finished,and that appears to be the only way we can do it. Then we'll have more reason to tour as widely as possible, but we're committed to finishing the album first. Got to do it! There are at least a good 30 to 40 prospects, so it may be a rather lengthy release at that. Will be hooking up in the studio soon to provide some pics, and possibly video, so stay posted if that interests you. Thanks for sticking with us! m

03/01/06

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to drop a quick note to all you guys. We just got back from our Texas tour with Dramarama. We had a great time and all of the guys in Dramarama were extremely nice! They have such a great stage presence. I really enjoyed watching them.

(PICTURES FROM THE TOUR CAN BE VIEWED IN THE FORUM, HERE)

It was great! We met other bands too, one of which was Squint (who were from Louisiana-my home state!)-great energy, cool sound and super nice people. The other I want to mention is Saints and Sinners. They had a great open landscape-Americana type sound. I don't even know if that would be a description used for music or not...

Really talented and (again) really nice guys! We met so many nice folks, we are currently in the process of putting together another tour out west. This time it will include not only Texas, but hopefully Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and maybe California. Our date to set out will be June 1st.
Well, it's a long way off, but I have a lot of work to do to get ready for it.
Talk later with more to say...
Love
Anstrom & my Kitties

02/17/06

Had a great time in Lafayette, LA last Friday. Club Sin was a lot of fun- nice stage, good layout, tons of friendly people!

Can't wait to go back again for their 1st Anniversary Party on April 1st. Hoping to also secure some dates in Baton Rouge while we're in the vicinity. Thanks again for making us feel welcome, Lafayette! We head out for the TX Dramarama dates early next week, won't be online till we get back probably. Looking forward to seeing our TX friends- there are several NOLA transplants there whom we haven't seen for quite a while. Can't wait!

there are a few new reviews in the Press section, and we invite you over to the new Messageboard/Forum if you haven't stopped by yet. Would love to chat with you over there.

That's also where we'll be posting updates on contests and posting

any new pictures from the tour.

01/20/06

got back from our S FL portion of the tour, getting ready to hi LA and TX next month. FL was great, we had a lot of fun. Let's see, the highlights- Vietnamese, Indian, Spanish, & Cuban food. Brazilian pizza. Cuban coffee.  Oh, yeah, we played a few shows too- :-) Met some really cool people! Most of them from Myspace, if you're not on there yet, you should check it out, it's really been great for the band.  Anyway, we had a lot of fun and are planning to go back to FL ASAP.

thanks to everyone who made it to the shows & bought merch so we afford the gas for the trip home. TX & LA, see you soon! if you've got somewhere you want us to play, drop a

The shirts are basic black Ts with the new logo on front; sizes= youth large (ladies small), small, Medium, large, XL, XXL. The XXXLs sold out before I could even send the newsletter, sorry!
Tour
AM will support the Los Angeles Band Dramarama on upcoming TX dates. Maybe you've seen their VH1 Special recently?  Still working out some details, planning on booking TX, FL, and GA to start with. Hoping to range out from there! Special thanks to Barry Steadman and Karine Albano for heading this endeavor. They're putting a LOT of work into this. Please note the new dates on our schedule page hope to see you out there somewhere soon!

Gothic Beauty Magazine published a glowing review of Transmitter in their Fall '05 issue.

It can be purchased at Hot Topic, Tower Records, Barnes & Noble, Borders Books, Hastings,

Sam Goody, Media Play, and Gordon & Gotch store locations. I don't know what

half of those are, but you can get the magazine there, apparently.

10/25/05

We met Chris, an artist, on Myspace and he ended up with the winning submission in our Logo Contest. We hope to have new merchandise, featuring his design, available very soon. We'd like to congratulate and thank him for working with us, can't wait to see the shirts and stickers. Hopefully the design can grace our site here and there too. You can see it below. Still working hard on the new album, making progress. We'll keep you posted through the mailing list.

10/06/05

Been busy in the studio, it's going well. We've got quite a few songs already- going to be hard to pick for the album, but at least there will be a very fresh setlist once we start gigging again. Our last 2 BIG gig events fell thru because of the storms- we'll try to book something soon locally though.  We're #1 on NOLAbands.com and Download.com (progressive rock section)

check out our DL files there if you haven't yet...

We're running a contest for a band logo; if you've got an idea for one, let us know- we reward handsomely! thanks for checking in.

7/30/05

Work progresses in the studio, we're in the pre-production stage, and things are rolling along. Gigs are slowing down for now, we're not actively booking, but may accept some that are offered...don't wanna get rusty, ya know? Myspace is going strong, come on over if you haven't yet.. click here to check it out. Candy from TK101 in P'cola wrote a really nice review of a recent show, you

can read it here. Thanks for checking in with us- we are working hard on the new album, and we appreciate your patience! New Mailing List too

5/21/05

we will be playing out our last few obligations, gig-wise, then going into the studio in earnest around August. We plan

not to book shows during this time, as we'll be concentrating on recording the material we have arranged for the

album, and writing new songs to accompany them. The process should be a little quicker this time -

we already have several new songs ready for the CD. There will be more middle-eastern

material as well, as we plan on extending the ethnic/Bellydance sets. Thanks for

supporting us thus far; we really appreciate it. During our hiatus from

performing live, we will also be pursuing label support and

by the time the album is done, we hope to be able to tour

the country, and have more merch to offer.

Feel free to say hello anytime, we'd love

to hear from you!

04/26/05

Being plagued by more messageboard woes, so now we're just switching it over to our Myspace Group. Sorry that

that means you'll have to subscribe there, but we've been spending a lot of time there and it's probably where our new

material will make its debut anyway. Thanks for indulging us.   We're getting ready to come back to play Mobile in

May, we're excited about that! Our Middle-Eastern music/bellydance set is coming right along, we're having

a great time performing it, and expect it will continue to expand. Played the Gutter Lounge in P'cola and

we're asked back on a monthly basis, which is great because we LOVED it there! Still

shooting some video, working on live recordings, and squeezing in time on the new

CD when possible. Thanks for sticking around. Check out the new pics

and come on over to Myspace if you haven't already.

04/07/05

New video in the works; Bellydancing set is being received well, expect it to expand; new venues coming up soon,

including a return to Mobile- where we haven't played for almost a year! ~~Our Forum died, a new temp~~

~~messageboard is in place, but there's a lot more happening at MySpace lately, you might want to~~

~~join the Group there for more forum action;~~

also set up one for a Band Network for our area.

lots more stuff in the works, we'll keep you posted as they develop.

thanks for checking in with us

03/09/05

Our Myspace account has really taken off lately, we're pleasantly surprised! Please stop by and check it out.

We just set up a new profile on KrushRadio, please check in and feel free to leave a comment there.

Thanks to DJ Mirage from Myspace for setting us up. We've got lots more radioplay coming,

stay tuned for details. Actually, lots of things in the works- check in soon for updates!

Come see one of our upcoming shows for the new Turkish/Bellydancing set, it's

been a lot of fun so far. A bit of a new flavor for us.

Be sure to say hello if you make it to a show!

02/04/05

New photo gallery page posted, thanks Marc @ GCB.com!

01/04/05

Transmitter is now available on CDbaby.com

12/13/04

added Paypal links for CD's on the purchase page. T-shirts coming soon.

12/05/04

Most of our news will now probably come via the new messageboard/forum, but we’ll try to keep updating

here occasionally. We’ve had a string of successful shows in Ocean Springs, NOLA, and Pensacola .

Were planning a short hiatus to start recording in January, but can’t seem to stop booking gigs.

Still planning on hitting the studio hard though. So far, we’ve also recorded several

shows recently, and those are turning out well. There are several new sources

for DL'ing our songs, they're listed in the forum. We'll most likely start

posting some of the new live songs on those sites.

We’ve met lots of new folks at the gigs, and it’s

nice to see the crowds getting bigger and

embracing the newer music.

Thanks for listening!

m

10/14/04

New forum replaces old messageboard today. Please check in and say howdy.

You'll find a list of various sites with AM downloads available there.

Working on some possibilities for posters/decals/logos etc...

any particular requests? Let us know.

10 /11 /04

Yep, OS is the place to be! The crowds there are awesome.

Lots of funky dancing going on. BLVD Martini will definitely be a regular stop

for AM from now on. Our 2 nights there this month were really exciting for us.

To have King Crimson requested, or Yes recognized in the first few notes is

very motivating to us. And of course anytime an audience yells for more originals,

well, obviously that’s going to make us happy! Can’t wait to get back.

Then there was the WCPR Homegrown show. Fatguy was great to us,

we had a really good time in the studio, and even the unplugged tune wasn’t

as scary as it might have been. Look for a DL of the acoustic performance

to be posted soon. It may very well be the first AM track to feature Phonebook in it.

We appreciate them playing so many of our CD tracks on the air.

The Mississippi Press ran a nice article on us too.

http://xush.net/mywebpages/AM/ms_press.jpg

we've also got a new account set up on MySpace, w/ pics and trax:

http://www.myspace.com/analogmissionary

Working on some promo material for the fans, and soon to

start the new CD; we’re looking at Jan so far.

Thanks for coming to the shows, and

please say hi in person if

you haven’t yet.

m

8/9/4

The Ocean Springs gig proved to be a lot of fun. It’s a great venue, you should definitely check out

BLVD Martini if you’re ever in the area. I got a little distracted watching ambulances go by on the Hwy

while we were playing- got to focus! Met a bunch of the Gulf Coast musicians; that was a special perk.

There’s quite a few interesting bands down there. Hope to check some of them out soon.

Got to hand it to the MS crowd- they really made us feel at home, and it was nice to get

such a warm and enthusiastic reaction to music they hadn’t heard before. We’re planning on

being back down there in the middle of September, and hopefully pretty often thereafter.

We all went to the Rush concert in Atlanta , and somehow avoided heatstroke. Great show, the guys

can still play circles around almost any band out there! Very impressive. I don’t know that pyro

at an outdoor amphitheater in August is a great idea, but it sure gets your attention. Nice and toasty.

We played NY Nick’s in P’cola last weekend, our first time there. It’s a very music-friendly venue w/

a nice little stage and no smoking. Looks like we’ll be back there frequently- starting in October we’ll

play there the first weekend of every month. Come on down and check it out.

Looks like we're going to be gigging more often than usual for a while.

Be sure to check our schedule page for updates.

m

7/1/4

Well, we’ve been to NO & P’cola, and will definitely be going back ASAP.

Man, those FL crowds are rowdy! Lots of fun was had over there.

(In fact, we just confirmed a date for a new venue in P'cola in August...)

Looks like we’ll be making our way over to the MS Gulf Coast area at the end of July.

We look forward to adding that area to our list of regularly visited venues.

We’re going to start with Ocean Springs, a nice little art-loving town where

yours truly pretty much grew up.

We’re still working on material for our next album- a few songs have already made

their debut at our shows. Though we’re in the studio almost every week

(every DAY for some of us) we hope to be “IN” the studio in the not-too-distant future,

if you know what we mean. The songs will let us know when they're ready.

Another trip to ATL for an inspirational concert event is looming- yep, it’s creeping up on us;

August 1st we’re off to see Rush. Somebody in this band is a big Rush fan. Can you guess who?

Thanks to Kevin for all the hard work on the website- you folks keep checking back now and then

so he doesn’t feel like he’s wasting his time!

Thanks for reading- see you out there somewhere…

5-18-04

As Anstrom, Tony, and Kevin returned from Jamaica, AM and friends met in Atlanta
for the Yes concert on April 28. Thanks to Kevin from MS for getting us better seats!
Made a few contacts there and plan on arranging some gigs in Atlanta ASAP.

The radio broadcast show went quite well and was great fun. Comcast continues to
air our episode of the Whole Note. Who knows, you might just see us on TV as you're
channel- surfing in the wee hours of the a.m.

What's next for AM? We'll be invading New Orleans shortly, visiting Pensacola again, and
spreading out into some of the more esoteric venues on the Gulf Coast and beyond.
We have some material that might be making it to DVD soon, the new songs
are coming faster than we can keep up with, and the website's facelift will be revealed soon.
Thanks for keeping up with us, and be sure to say hi at our next gig.

1-8-04
Quick update!

It's 2004 and we're ready to hit the ground running! Our first show of the year will be at Indulgence.
We're also getting things ready for the 92zew live broadcast from the Blue Gill. We will be live on the
radio at 7pm Tuesday night. We'd love to see a big crowd there!

It's been a while since we posted news! So let me catch up...
We had a great time performing the Nosferatu soundtrack at Workplay in Birmingham and
the Saenger Theatre in Mobile. Much thanks to Barry Steadman and all of those that helped us pull it off! It was a ton
of work, but everything turned out wonderful! Also want to thank Captain M.S. Walker for his great video
work, and Jason Norman who helped us tremendously with the photos and artwork!

10-3-03

We are now represented by a great management team headed by Bill Flowers. With his help, we expect to be adding many
new cities to our schedule. Also he has many new ideas to expose people to our music.

The guys at Comcast did a great job on the "Whole Note" show. It was a lot of fun
meeting and hanging out with them! (We also wrote the theme music for the show.) We're looking
forward to doing more stuff with them in the near future.

"Nosferatu" is coming along very well. Barry Steadman has been doing a fantastic job in organizing
and promoting the shows. We are expecting big crowds at both performances. We will be interviewed on
the NBC station in Birmingham the day of the (Workplay) show (Thanks Bill!).
Also keep an eye on the local news and papers here in Mobile. We have a lot of interviews lined up!

We want to thank Jason Norman (again!) for the great photos, and help with the artwork and design for this project.

9-1-03

Here is an update of the events we are involved with in the near future:

For those of you with Mobile Comcast cable service, we will be appearing on channel 6 - Wednesday night at 9pm (Sept 10).
The short film "Lilith" will be shown as well as a live performance and interview!

September 10 we will be back at Indulgence in Mobile. Thanks for making the shows.
We have been playing to a packed house every time! Come early to get a good seat...

We will be at the Saenger September 12 for a Mobile arts event. We won't be playing, but we'll be given
an area to advertise the upcoming Nosferatu shows. There will be brief performances by
the Mobile Symphony, opera and Ballet - - along with other performance groups.

We will be in Pensacola at Intermission September 19. This will be our
first show in a long time there. Looking forward to it!

The film "Lilith" will be shown at the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham the weekend of September 19.
We plan to attend to see "Lilith" on the big screen!

We'll be at Workplay (in Birmingham) for our first performance of Nosferatu - October 14.

October 31, we are bringing Nosferatu back to the Saenger Theater in Mobile.
We are planning two shows the same night.

8-25-03

We now have two locations set up for the Nosferatu performance. We'll be in Birmingham October 14 and Mobile
October 31! Keep an eye out for us in the local and regional papers!

We've been working on the details of the Nosferatu performance. Things are coming together nicely.
We'll be building a website with more info which should be up in July.

The famous "art" photographer Jason Norman, will be doing a couple photo-shoots with us in the near future!

The Guys at Raven Seven Films will be entering the short film "Lilith" in a few more film competitions. This
should open up a lot of new opportunities for us! We've also agreed to score their next short film. We'll be
writing the music as well as constructing all of the sound elements.

Thanks again for making the shows and supporting us!

Our first video from the song "Lilith" just won "Best music Video" from the "Lindsey UNA Film Festival"!

Excerpt

"The winner is Lilith, produced by V1 Digital and Raven Seven Films and directed by Jason Welch, of Mobile, Alabama.
The first video for the band Analog Missionary, the story is a capsule of a novelist with a severe case of
writer’s block taken from a screenplay, The Girl on the 27th Floor, written by Welch."

Would like to thank all of the "film guys" for including us in their project!

Thanks to everyone who spent the evening with us at Augustine's! We had a great crowd and saw a lot of very cool costumes.
Jason and Rob did a great job with their lighting and design talents - - Augustine's has never looked better!
We are taking a few weeks off from touring to work up new material for our show,
so stay tuned to our website for more dates.

( If you can help us play in your favorite club, let us know. Contact us via email. )

Filming for the "Lilith" video has been wrapped up! Now the guys at Raven Seven are editing video and we are
making slight alterations on the audio. We will make this available for download on the web and on
DVD's at future shows!

Also we have big Plans for our "Nosferatu" performance. Last Halloween at the Saenger was a great success, and we plan to
take the show to different cities in the fall of 2003! (see photos)
Placing our original score on the "Nosferatu" DVD is also in the works.

STAY TUNED

The Peter Gabriel concert was fantastic. We are all reaffirmed fans now!
We hung out in Washington DC for a few days and had a great time.

Hi! It has been a long time since we have posted any new news!
We have been very busy with playing, and also the "Nosferatu" performance at the Saenger.
The recent departure of Adam from the band has also kept us busy rearranging and learning new parts.
We'll miss Adam, but he decided to leave the band to pursue his own musical interests,
so be watching for him in the near future.

We want to thank the famous photographer Jason Norman again for the ton of photos he has taken of the band.
They are slow finding their way to the site, but they will get hear eventually!
We are going to be hanging out with Jason in Washington D.C. very soon for the Peter Gabriel concert.
We'll post a few photo's of that also!
In the following weeks we are going to be learning a lot of new material and begin writing for our next cd.
We are going to be working up some Bjork, Cure,Tori Amos, Led Zeppelin and Rush songs to add to our show.
Also we have some strong ideas and directions for new originals.
We are looking forward to spend a lot of time building a powerful show!
