What's New-June/July 2005

Re-mastered versions of "Footwork" and "At The Edge Of This Thought" have been placed on the downloads page. Our good friend and most excellent photographer Brian Tirpak has given us some great shots from the Orion Studios concert. These are in the Photo Gallery.

The show at XM Radio's performance theater went well. The sound for the guests in the live room was less than perfect we know (the band was all in headphones), but the recorded version sounds really good! We would like to thank everyone at XM radio, and our guests for making this concert one to remember. We will be posting the airing time and date here.

Regretfully the show at the Birchmere was cancelled by the venue when advance ticket sales were reported to be low. Our local fans have told us in no few numbers that they always buy their tickets at the door there, as seating is not reserved, and the advance tickets cost more. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone, and hopefully the venue will not be so hasty in the future. We will try to play another show in the Baltimore/DC area soon.
