These guys are super talented and I’m looking for big things out of them in 2010!  So come hang with us next week at GA Tech @ Under the Couch.  I’ve never been there but I hear great things.

Also, be sure to check us out at the Masquerade next month!  This should be an awesome event so let us know if you need tickets.

Just wanted to let you know that we had a small time change at TNS Bar Room in East Atlanta.  Instead of 11:00, we will now be playing at 12:15.  PEAK time of the night!  See ya’ll there!

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!

Hey ya’ll,

We’ve got some great things coming.  It has been an incredible week!  Tuesday night, we had a packed show at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta, GA and cut a live album that will be available VERY soon.  Then, Wednesday night, we played at The Five Spot and it was broadcast streaming on the web through DirtySouthTV.tv.  The interview has been posted on the home page for you to watch and listen.
This weekend (tonight), we’re back at the famous Southern Tracks Studio in Atlanta, GA recording some new tracks for our new album.  For those of you who were at our Smith’s Olde bar show on Tuesday, you were able to hear some of the new tracks.  We’re glad they were well received.  As a treat, we’ll be broadcasting the process live tonight through http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-first-stone, or you can view the live stream below.

Until then, cheers!
