It's already May??

I'm amazed at how time is flying by...  Seriously - where in the heck is time going?

Some cool stuff has happened recently: we won a mini battle of the bands things on 102.9 about two weeks ago (by TWO votes!!  Thanks to everyone who voted!); we grabbed second at the SAE Battle of the Bands at the Rutledge last friday (Nashville band The Rust took home the trophy - they were killer musicians and had some great songs - I'm looking forward to hearing the EP they record for the prize.  I'm pretty sure we're going to be playing with them in Murfreesboro at Wallstreet at the end of the month); we lost a battle of the bands at Hard Rock Cafe in Memphis last month...  Lots of battles!!

We're trying to focus on getting some more songs completed/recorded.  Our recording process is most likely going to take a while, because we generally like to record things over and over before we do the "final" recording.  That way we figure out what works and what doesn't work before we spend all the time getting everything perfect.  Hopefully, though, we'll be able to get some demos posted for your listening pleasure before too long...  If you come to a show soon, though, you'll be able to hear the new songs before that!

I've still been working on the website - but mostly on the back end of things, so you probably can't tell!  As many of you already know, there is now a subscription feature (top right on your screen) so that these updates will land in your inbox.  If anyone has any issues with the website or subscriptions, etc, please email me (david@manicbloom.com).  Other features coming soon - like individual band member pages, the ability to talk about shows after they happen, perhaps the ability to post YOUR MB related stuff on here...  So much time, so little to do.  Er....  Scratch that.  Reverse it.

We recently had a couple fans remix two of our songs - we'll post those soon for your listening pleasure...

Thanks to all of you for continuing to spread the word!  I'm loving getting messages from California, Germany, Australia, etc....  Awesome!  We can't do this without you showing your friends our music!!

You all ROCK!
