So, here is the final lineup:

1st band: (8pm) Ramblewood :  http://www.myspace.com/ramblewoodband This will be our first show with Ramblewood and we’re ready to jam with them. Their jammy music will get you going and ready to dance.

Flip Hayner – vocals, guitar, keyboard.

Garrett Chism – vocals, drums.

Laurie Hayner – vocals, keyboard, guitar.

Be sure to check out some of their Youtube vids at:  http://www.youtube.com/ramblewoodband.  Fun stuff!

2nd band: (9pm) John Henry Velez:  http://www.myspace.com/johnhenrysolo A good friend of the band.  Nate first heard John Henry at an open mic in East Atlanta.  (Blue Frog Cantina on Wednesday nights.  Hello Belinda!)   John Henry’s has the total package; awesome voice, great guitar playing skills, and some great tracks on his myspace.

He is on the top of “who will make it famous before The First Stone will” list.  A hilarious guy on stage who is always cracking jokes and making a great night for everyone there.  Come out and see our good friend John Henry with us.

He’ll probably be a little upset that we used the most god-awful picture we could find of him, but hey, what are friends for?  Don’t miss John Henry Velez because he’s going to rock the house.

Its been quite some time since we’ve had an update to our fans. We have a lot of things going on.

First, Dave, our bass player, has decided that he will be leaving the band. Dave is a great guy and we wish him the best of luck. His long flowing hair, and amazing bass-slappin’ will be missed.

Second, we have found another bass player. His name is Terry and he is a bad-ass. We’ve had a few practices with him and he really adds a different dimension to the band. We can’t wait to showcase him.

Speaking of that…. Terry’s first show with the band will be on Friday and we have invited you to the show through the attached link.

Last, we have new music. A few months ago, Dave (old bass player) went to the studio with us and laid down the tracks that we had been writing. They are pretty amazing.  We will upload the new tracks here very soon.

We’re still in “writing mode” and our gig on Friday at Rev Coffee will be the last gig for a while until we can get our new cd released and have a big CD RELEASE PARTY! We can’t wait! So, we’re signing off for now, but we’d love to see you on Friday. It’s an all ages show and its with our friends from I’m Chinese. (http://www.myspace.com/weareimchinese) They are an awesome rock band and you won’t want to miss them.
Hope to see you there!

BKelly, Nate, Aub, Terry

New album available from That 30/60 band. See their myspace for more information. (myspace.com/that3060)

Hey ya’ll,

We just booked a great grouping of shows, but we’re only gonna tell you about one for right now!  The first one is at TNS in East Atlanta which is a great new venue for music.  They recently started promoting their Friday and Saturday nights with live music and DJs.  Its has been a great success and you can see it from the pictures below.  The night starts at 11pm and has two great bands.  The first band is That 30/60 band which has a great “chill” vibe and almost reminds us of Sublime????  Almost…  Pretty good though.  Don’t miss them.  They have a new album out and it is titled “The Four In One Sessions.”  Be sure to check out their myspace at:  http://www.myspace.com/that3060.

Also up that night will be “Slammin’ Betty” from Covington.  Their music is Rock/Classic Rock/Southern Rock and from their pictures, they are some crazy dudes.  Check out their music on their myspace at: http://www.myspace.com/slamminbettyband.

The night will be lots of fun and we’ll be debuting some new songs we have written in the past few weeks.  $4 cover includes a free “Ball Breaker” shot….(whatever that is…. we’ll just have to find out!)  Also, Dave will be singing Kwanza, Christmas, Chanukah songs to get everyone in the Christmas spirit!  Come on out and enjoy the great music.  Hope to see you there!
