It's March!

Holy cow, I've been slacking for a long time! Sorry about that, things just kept piling up!
What have you missed? Quite a bit! Since my last post, we met a great band named Vaeda, who became great friends of ours, stopped in at home for a bit, went back out with our buddies in Egypt Central, hooked up with Theory of a Deadman and Framing Hanley in New York, spent Thanksgiving at Niagra Falls, travelled into the frigid cold of the Dakotas, where we got to experience a week straight of temperatures that did not rise above -15 degrees F, and then finally returned to Michigan for Christmas. That was a nice break.
Starting the new year, we did a few weekends of headlining shows in Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, met up with Saving Abel for a show in Alabama, and jumped on tour with Saliva. Saliva is a great group of guys, we've had so much fun with them, from wandering Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras, to freezing in Maine in more sub-zero temperatures. We've also had a couple great bands with us along the way, Aranda out of Oklahoma, and Since October from Florida. Also great guys. Matt now uses Kustom bass amps, Tony plays through Krank amps and Dean Guitars, Dylan plays ddrums.
That brings us up to the present. We're just east of Seattle, WA, tonight is our last show with Saliva, Tomorrow is my Birthday, and we have a super busy month ahead of us! But the most exciting thing is that in the last week we finally picked up a record deal through Universal Republic.
This is a such a great feeling for all of us! To top that off, 100 in a 55 is now top 20 in the active rock charts.
The next few weeks are shaping up to be very exciting, and I'll definitely keep you all updated on the news!
