We are thrileld to death with every fan that makes a show...we know this economy is very tough so it means so much when you get out.  It is very tough as well on the clubs that are losing lots of business over this, and the bands who have seen huge reductions in audiences.  It's just bad all around but there are some things we can all do to help where we can.

Bands need to support other bands like a big family.  See other bands' shows when you can so they have fans, don't leave a show after you are done playing so you and your fans can help the next band and the one before you heped you and son on.  Bands can trade gigs at their home clubs and provide fans to protect the guest band.  Bands can work real hard marketing the scene, their shows, the clubs that are good, the good promoters, and so on...it benefits us all.

Fans can help by spreading the word and helping bands bring in new fans.  It's all about fans standing in front of that stage that in the end makes or breaks bands and without fans a band just will not survive.

There are a number of people committed in MD to hanging onto the heavy music scene, breathing new life into it...they support bands in these hard times and in turn we really urge all of you to support them.

Sinix.  Great venue in Essex.  They do not rip off bands, have great drink specials, and are committed to bringing good music from MD and beyond to you.  They are working very hard to provide the scene, our part is fill that club!

Krug's Place in Frederick.  Like Sinix you have an owner with vision, trying hard to bring great music, local, regional and national to the stage for you...treats bands great...and is in desparate need of people to fill those shows...without the fans the clubs can't stay in business.

Ravenhurst Entertainment Group...bringing killer shows to the area, providing a label and distribution to good bands, re-energizing Shockwave Magazine.  Their director works tirelessly to build the MD scene...if you can find Ravenhurst shows to see, often at Sinix!  The bands are always good, he is very picky so you get the best music.

Shockwave Magazine.  This is MD's heavy music press...fighting to stay in business.  Know a company that wants advertising...send them there.  We need a great magazine around to keep our scene active, thriving.  This magazine is awesome.

There are many more out there, bands, individuals...great people trying to work together to bring great music to MD.  If you can support a band, a club, etc., go as often as you can...be a part of a revolution.

Spent lots of time researching a practice PA....found that a simple and powerful solution is the QSC K series powered speakers.  Got the K12s which are a 1000 W each...plenty for a rehearsal space....and small club for that matter.  Small 8 channel Mackie board with those great pre-amps in it..and voila we are golden.  Simplified the set up from multiple power amps and a large mixer in a rack along with many speakers, to just a pair of light speakers and a board the size of a laptop.  Sound quality is killer and lots of headroom.  No feedback!

There's been a number of questions about what happened to Mark.  The short and sweet of it is simply there were irreconcilable differences between he and the band and he quit the band.   We have continued to wish him well in all he does.

Fifteen Fleeting from NJ. What a great singer...very unique music...I thoroughly enjoyed them so much I saw them twice. These guys are destined for stardom.
