Updates, etc.

***Dateline: August 18th, 2009 @ 11am ***

A stocky, 30-something caucasian man, armed with broad shoulders, a mohawk and a crooked smirk will meet with the owner of a respected Theatrical/Commericial Agency. Hoping to impress with the real feel of a musician/actor looking to make an impact in an industry loaded with thin, pretty faces and macho men much shorter then he, the mohican inquires about being aboard a roster full of immensely talented and unique looking individuals.

This is a pass/fail test, with no reason to cheat.

It's not life or death. It's not the end of the world if the Agency does not feel like I would be a profitable addition to their talent roster. But either way, win or lose...I am excited beyond belief. At the possibilities, and the opportunity to meet (again) with some great, no-nonense industry experts who will be honest about whether or not I have what they want or need. Yes...I am stoked to have this interview tomorrow.

Music news: We (the dudes in A New Vice) finally received first pressing of the debut CD. It was emotional to say the least when we unboxed a few copies to send around. Reserving a few for select family/friends, the remainder go for sale, and more importantly, to radio and press. Not sure exactly what the marketing team has in effect, and what cities they are campusing with the first media push...but we know that it will go even further in a positive direction. More fans are making it known they love A New Vice. Awesome.

A few weekends ago, Three Sixes (Damien, Whiskey, McYaku and myself) met for another overview of the new tunes for the upcoming record. Headbanging along and yelling notes over the blasting pre-production tracks, we are {finally} progressing. We've decided on 13-15 songs, with possibly a few bonus tracks for fans available thru special media outlets. I want to give a release date, but Damien sums it up best - it will be done when it's done. Egotistically speaking, I have written some brutal and honest music for Damien to spew lyrical bloodshed over. We've grown as friends, brothers, musicians and Co-Writers for a very conceptual - and raw - collection of musical selections. He's on top of his game, and he has stated I am on top of mine. We busted our asses to bring our fans the best of what we can provide. Honest, brutal, heavy, shrilling hardcore/death/thrash/trash/ghetto metal. Haters can suck it.

More music updates to come...and I'll let you know how it works out tomorrow!
