Since I posted up our music in October, things have really started to take off. In 2 days on the 4th, we are playing at the largest venue in our area (minus the arena or somethng like that) The Ace of Spades. We are on a local showcase with 5 other punk bands from the area. This venue hosts all the major bands when they come through, NOFX, Streetlight Manifesto, Snoop dogg (lol) are just a few of the acts they had in december, and we are playing there!

If that wasnt enough, we are booked to open for Agent Orange in February at another local club in our area The Boardwalk. Add in some small shows later in January, we are starting to get busy!

If someone does, I'd appreciate knowing too... I have one with a leaky bellows.

Actually, that came out awesome and you have a really good voice for that indie/folk punk style. I really enjoying the songs as well; especially the one around the 20 minute mark.

Hey, this might be a good place to ask this:

Does anyone know of a simple free drum/beat program? I just need to get some beat going that I can mess around to, as I've been inspired to make music lately, but no one else I know is :lol:

Thanks man! If you mean the one that started at 20 minutes, that's a song called War Scars. I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you! Being compared to MoB is about as high as a compliment you can give me. I'm really liking your stuff too, especially Fellow Project. Let me know if you ever play Philly!

Here's a place that's close to me: http://www.libertybellows.com/

I don't know if you're close to Philadelphia or not and I've never dealt with them personally, but I can tell you that the storefront always looks nice!

This place is great:

Ask to speak with Peter. The guy really knows his stuff and also utilizes common sense. Now like most accordion shops, don't expect anything on the cheap, but Peter encouraged me to do the work myself to save hundreds of dollars.

I won't have the bass strap for a few months, but when I receive it, I'll post an up
date.
