Well everyone. We've been quiet for a while, but it's been a very good thing for us, as this year is shaping up to be a super busy one. Dawn's doctor gave her very specific instructions to not do any singing this month to help her vocal chords get back in top shape for the rest of the year. Plus, with as many shows as we played last year, it's been really nice to have some time off to rest, and get ready for the upcoming year.
We're heading down to Puerto Rico in a week, which we're all really excited about. We've never been there, and it's always nice to be on an island in the Carribean in January, especially considering last year at that time we were heading toward Canada, where it was -40. Yes. -40. That is not an exaggeration at all. The chemical makeup of my jacket would change when i went outside. Anyways...
Our single "Unbreakable" went up to 5 this week on the Christian Rock Charts and is at 31 on the CHR Charts, and we're super excited. Everyone at the label, and us, are very excited...so excited in fact that last weekend, we shot a music video for it. As soon as we get a copy of it, we'll be putting it up for you all to see, and i'm sure for those of you who get TVU and Sky Angel and anywhere who may play our music videos, we'll get it going on there too. We're very excited about this one, and the fact that Glenn and i got to have 3 cabinets each for the video...it's pretty huge looking. one day, when we can afford crew, and the space, maybe we'll have that in concert so we look all important or something.
Oh, and we did an interview with WAYFM in Nashville and they had us sing a song for the DJ's kid about the Circle Bunnies. Every artist has to make up a song on the spot using the lyrics for the Circle Bunnies, and we used the music from an old 80s tune that some of you may recognize. Click here to hear it but you'll have to search for it on the list of songs on the right. So enjoy!
we're getting ancy about getting back on the road, and so keep an eye on our tour schedule and we'll be seeing you as soon as we get out there, so tell all your friends, and get to some shows, and we'll see ya'll soon.

We just got back from Germany, well, two days ago and we can't even begin to express how amazing of a time we had. For the first time ever i was able to step away from the microphone on You Decide and let the crowd sing the song (Dawn couldn't stepped away too but she didn't...that just means that i love the crowd more...j/k).
We got back to found out we were the most added on Christian Rock for our new single "Unbreakable" and debuted at number 26 on Christian Rock charts. That's the highest debut ever for one of our songs and we're more that excited about it. In fact, we're so excited about our new record, that we want you to go download our first single from iTunes or Sony Music Box right now!!! YAY!!!! Sorry it's not free, but man, it's close as it's only a buck. Also, in the next month we'll be headed up to Nashville to shoot a music video for that song as well, so keep an eye out for that too.
We're taking some time off for Christmas, so we'll not be playing many shows. We WILL be playing a youth conference in Orlando that is a closed event, so sorry if you wanted to go, but if you're going to the youth conference we'll see you there! Also, for those of you who live in Puerto Rico, we'll be heading down there to play for you at the end of January.
As far as an update on Dawn goes, she's doing better and better as each day passes, so thank you so much for your prayers and understanding when she can't talk to you at shows. Hopefully the time off in December and January will heal her vocal chords fully and she'll be talking away by the time we play in the states again.
Until next time, we love you all, we love German Chocolate, we love Swiss Chocolate, and Phee and i love Hella's Grill in Ennepetal.
Justin...over and out

Fireflight (Nashville, Tenn.) October 24, 2007 Brand new music from female-led rock band Fireflight will debut tonight on NBC with the bands yet unreleased track Unbreakable selected to air in promotion for the networks new hit show Bionic Woman. The promotional spots begin airing tonight on NBC and will run throughout the week.
The high-impact new song is the title track for Fireflights forthcoming sophomore album releasing spring 2008. Although the album is months from release at retail, the title track is an instant hit with NBC executives.
Janine Kerr, NBC/Universal Director of Promo Services, says, Once I heard Unbreakable by Fireflight, it just made sense that NBC should use this song in Bionic Woman promos. In fact, the whole CD is great. Buy it!
The single is scheduled for digital download at iTunes and other select digital channels in November.
Fronted by female vocalist Dawn Richardson, Fireflights music has been featured on E! Entertainments Style Network, Americas Funniest Home Videos, and in music-video reels at both American Eagle and Journeys stores across the country. Fireflight is currently on tour playing 140 shows this year, and has delivered two No. 1 rock singles You Decide and Waiting off its debut album.

well folks, we're still on tour and are in TX having a well deserved day off. We were supposed to be driving today, and have today off, but unfortunately, we had to cancel yesterday's show in San Antonio because the truck carrying the sound and lights for the tour broke down, so sorry san antonio, we will make it back there as soon as possible.
right now we're in lubbock, TX at our friend Ben's house who was so kind to let us stay here for a couple of days and let us eat all his food, use his laundry detergent, and sleep in his kids' beds and make them sleep on the lawn. j/k they're in their rooms. we play here on friday night and it's a free show so if you're anywhere near lubbock, come out to the show. it's free, so you'll only need to pay for the gas to get here and all the fireflight merch you're gonna buy, which by the way, we'll be having new girl shirts, so girls...get your money ready. these shirts are rad.
on a side note, i want to apologize to the butterfly nation as yesterday on the way here, i must've massacred approximately 13251 butterflies. i dont' know if they were unhappy with their change into the most beautiful insect there is, or if they just decided to try and cross a road where traffic is traveling 70 mph to see if they could make it, but i was actually running over them with the van's tires, not just hitting them with the bumper. so again, i apologize to the butterflies. please forgive me.
back on track, dawn can officially talk again!!! she has been on vocal rest since august (meaning she can't talk unless she's on stage) because of blisters on her vocal chords. thankfully those blisters have gone down and i know it's because of all your prayers. she has been waiting for the moment she can talk again for a while now, and is very grateful for all of you and your prayers. it's great she can talk to all of you again...although it was nice having the quiet....j/k....or am i?
well today is laundry day, and i have around a week and a half of dirty laundry (most of which is really gross and sweaty) so i must attend to that. take care and we'll see you soon, especially if you're coming to any of the shows we're playing in the next week and a half.
