The Summer that needs to get here
Posted April 24, 2006
Well my friends its been a couple of weeks, but I just wanted to say a few things.
For starters, Joseph Gross our bassist has done a great job of learning our songs. Joseph and us (Joey,Andy and I) go back a long way, all the way to the Death Valley Driver (RIP) days, circa 2000, so theres a lot of connection there. At one time Andy, Joseph, and I were going to create our own public access show and we did actually get one episode filmed which starred
"Roosty the Rooster" and involved a make believe land of Christmas knick-knacks (sp). Alas, the show was cancelled when the one person we showed it to completely thought it would get me fired from the Public access station I worked at and make people think we were "unsavory people." None the less, Joseph has been a good addition. Now, don't get me wrong, Ross is someone that is unreplaceable, but they're just two different people, both equally super.
Where were you last year at this time? Were things good? Were things crappy? Send us some comments and tell us what was going on then. 8th Plague was working to put together a summer tour which ended up being a random string of shows on various weekends, but it did bring us the 1st annual 8th Plague float trip(I just did a 360!). Well, this summer we have a 2 week tour which is something we've been driven to make happen for a long time, and lucky for us God crossed our paths with the Extreme Tour. It's an unbelieveable ministry folks and it's really easy to bring to your town(www.theextremetour.com). So, the summer needs to ge here for a few reasons. Ross is getting married May 28th, I'm getting married June 10th, we tour June 24th-July 9th and Andy gets married July 22nd.. So it's a big summer for us and it's going to be exciting.
One last thing, I would register myself as more of a purevolume.com user. While Andy is more of a myspace.com user. With this said, let it be known that I in no way agree or stand behind the statements posted on the www.myspace.com/8thplaguemusic BLOG. Andy has been pushing for a long time to replace me with a drum machine and I cannot stand by and let him "phase me out" without a fight. So, today I am beginning the
"Replace Andy With The Predator Campaign" You see friends, with my plan you get:
Dreadlike hair, Random Screeches(no change there), and not only that you get unmatched survival skills. Send us comments and tell us what you think. RAWTP today! and enjoy a
