(no subject)
I feel as if I only post about our band, the inner workings of our band, or the shows our band will be playing in the coming months. This is not meant to bore, rather, it's the only important thing going on in my life besides family, friends, and karaoke (which is damned important).
This post IS band related. You have been warned.
The Grand Rapids Press named our album the local album of the year. You can read all about it here:

This is fantastic news! We worked so hard on this album - it took us three years to get it right - and locally we were honored with a big award like this.
Awards are a funny thing. It's strange to get a nod for something like this just for making something that entertains. It's strange to take a hobby, put a little more thought behind it, and then three years later see something you did in bold type. Our album is by no means the best album that came out of gGrand Rapids this year - it was just one of several creative works that really catalog the talent in Grand Rapids. Chance Jones, Nate Kalish, Jes Kramer, Ben and Mike Riley - all wonderful bands that put out wonderful albums.
As a band, we'll celebrate this for a bit, and then go right back to trying our damndest alongside our musical comrades to get this town's engines roaring.
