Just had to bump this thread up (it's been dead a while) since, for the first time in 15 years, I'm actually playing with a band again. It's just a cover band, and even at that, it's really just my friend's band's side project - basically the band consists of the four members of this band and myself. We're doing a Slayer tribute band, and we have a female vocalist. But she can scream/grunt/whatever. Listen to the mp3 samples on his bands website to check out what she sounds like, you won't believe that's a chick. First show coming up next month. It'll be the first time I've been "on stage" since like 1990 when the band I was in did a few opening slots for Pantera at a few small clubs here in the NJ area. They were unknown at the time, and we had like 40 people every night, but being able to meet Phil Anselmo (pre dickhead phase) and Dimebag (and Rex and Paul) was really cool.

I'm currently working on a project called SHOEMANIA.  Speaking of people involved in music, where the hell has Virex been?!

I just found out today that my band will be releasing a 7 song CD available through Metal War Productions. Should be done and ready to ship out by mid summer. Recording is all done, all we need to do now is get the mastering done and get some artwork made, and we'll be all set.  ;D

How's this coming along Dave?  Looks like you and the band are pretty damned busy these days, so hopefully you guys are well on your way to finally becoming one of our clients...  ;)

So, any of our newer members musically inclined as well?

Right now the cd is done, and we are in the process of getting the artwork worked up, as far as the legal issues with the artist and the rights for reproduction and all that nonsense. We are still looking at a mid to late summer release date.

You can really sing, Matt, or do you mean like in the shower and stuff...?  :P

You're gonna send us all some free promos when they're ready, right?!  :-*
