NAMM

Anaheim, CA

While the new Phoenix Down cd isn't by strict view point a TRUE concept album...it does have some recurring themes and motifs that carry on from song to song as well as even some from album to album...for the first time we have written a TRUE instrumental...on The Cycle Of Strife and Absence Of Tides CD instrumentals were used as a bridge from the long "epic" style of the title tracks to the more epic and were much more ethereal and improvised...this time the instrumental totally helps us tell the story and is definitely an intregal part  of the overall contour of the album!!

First batch of Recordings Completed time for Christmas Break

WOW!!! The last two months have been absolutely amazing...At the beginning of November the Phoenix Down guys came into town...and after the amazing writing sessions that took place back in May the excitement level was absolutely insane!!! We're recording 2 CD's, if you haven't heard one is a covers CD that will have a few amazing special guests..I can't wait to share all the amazing news with you!!  and then we are also recording the conclusion to The Cycle of Strife series of songs...was supposed to be a 3rd and final part turned into a 4th part as there was that much story to tell!!! I am even more blown away now by the guys I have the privilege to work with and can't wait to share it with everyone...then in equally amazing news I got asked to record guitar for a Singer/guitar player that I love all the music I've heard by him...and in someways I get to stand in for two HUGE guitar heroes!!!(He is the lead singer of one of my favorite bands of the last 20 years and is now the lead singer for one of my favorite guitar players band!! I am so f**king excited for this!!! He even has agreed to appear on the Phoenix Down cover CD!! Beyond all the accolades he so rightfully deserves he is one of the nicest people I have ever met(in and out of the music business) The official announcement will be released on this just after the new years as we are preparing a single for radio around this time!!! In the meantime here's a "altered version" of the single...I have a feeling you'll be able to guess the song and maybe even who he is!!

So back a few months ago I began announcing that along with the new Phoenix Down original CD we were going to be recording that we were going to be recording a CD's worth of Covers essentially bands that influenced  the band and each of us as individuals!! The first release is Queen's The Show Must Go On Stay posted as we are going to be releasing various snippets of new material...covers and originals as well as a few full tracks as we draw closer to the release of the new music.

First official release leading up to the new CD
