Totally Amazing...

So I'm finally in the comforts of my own home after being out for 2 weeks. We started the Acquire the Fire tour on valentines day, and let me tell you...it was amazing. It was really cold in minnesota, but boy those kids made us feel right at home. Delirious is truely amazing and just a great bunch of guys. The ATF staff and crew are great to us, we have never been treated this good. So a huge shout out to all our ATF family we love you guys. This past saturday we played the ATF even in nashville and it was just as great. While in nashville we hung out with our good friend yogi from The Lonely Hearts(aka holland) and got to hear some rough cuts of their new album. Let me tell you guys its great...its a must have when it hits the stores. We also got the hook up on some food and lodging thanks to our great friend Shawna(THANKS KIDDO!!!). Nashville is like our second home, so we always have fun while we are there. I ran into brian from Relient K at the movies, he was there all alone...poor guy his band mates left him there. I hope all is well with you all...oh yeah shout out to our new friends from alabama who bought our mascot "woody" at the nashville ATF. Keep us in your prayers as we continue on the ATF tour and as we enter into a whole new journey as Radial Angel very soon...."A new year to begin"

be blessed

The New EP......

As I write this here entry, I am listening to our new EP and I must admit it sounds amazing. Our producer, E-dawg(eric delegard- bowling for soup, edgewater, jibe) is a great man. Him and his assistant Mitch "the man" were both great guys and it was a pleasure working with them. If youre in a band you should definately look into recording at his studio(www.reeltimeaudio.com). I just cant get over how fast we finished, its totally a God thing. I cant wait to share this ep with everyone and start playing these new songs live. Well not much else going on..gearing up to hit the road again..its been too long so I'm glad to get back out there starting on saturday. I am excited to be playing with Delirious on the ATF tour..what a pleasure that will be. Our tour page is being updated daily so be sure to keep up with that so you'll know when we are in your neck of the woods. Other than that you all have a blessed single awarness day...and keep us in your prayers as we venture into a whole new world coming soon. We will let you know as things unfold...Be Blessed

Where do our days go???

Well we have been in the studio the past 3 days and it is going awesome. Tommy finished drum tracks in 1 and a half days and I finished all my guitar tracks today. Jeremy still has a few things here and there to do, then Eduardo has his bass to lay down. Then I finally get to go in lay vocal tracks. Things should be finished by the weekend....wow....God has blessed us this time around. Usually we dont finish so fast on these things. Mitch(engineer) and Eric(producer) are a fun bunch of guys and we love em. Our EP is sounding amazing and I cant wait to get back out on the road to see you beautiful people and share these new songs with you. The 5 songs that we picked to put on the EP are; Summer Fade, Suddenly Maybe, Falling, Take Control and Not Beautiful. Well these 12 hour days are draining the life out of me so I'm off to visit the far off land I like to call sleepy town time. Hope all is well with you and keep us in your prayers as we finish this and some great things are on their way. Be blessed
