We've Got 3 New Bandmates!

Yep, we got some new band members.  They aren't necessarily human though.  In case you didn't already know, Ivan is a major keyboard junkie and he quickly falls in love with the right set of keys.  He has an obsession with some very specific keyboards from the 1980's, and well, he recently got these sweet babies.  Well, they actually aren't babies since they're so old...well wait, one of them IS a baby...check em out.

Ivan: This is one of my dreams come true; I grew up listening to 80's music and this is one of the guys that helped mark a definitive sound of those years.  I feel butterflies in my chest every time I hear its sweet sounds.  This is my new lover named JUNO - yeah, Juno-60 Roland and I'm going to play with him a lot and we're going to make music together.....I LOVE JUNO TO DEATH.

Ivan: This is another new lover; I hope Juno doesn't get jealous; I have enough love to give to both of them; this handsome guy is the DX7 Yamaha, but i call him Yami D.  It's another amazing synth that added a very specific sound to the 80's.  Many people consider it to be one of the best syths ever made, which I AGREE with.  I'm super excited to play with Yami D and obviously we're excited to make music together too.

Paul:  Oh yeah, so this last one isn't a keyboard...when Ivan gets birthday gifts for his friends, he tends to defy all expectations.  Well, this past year, when I opened up Ivan's gift, there was a little rat in it.  I was flabbergasted to say the least...and I thought to myself, "Wow, a rat!  Cool!  Thanks Ivan!"  So the rat grew, and eventually one day, through the biological process of metamorphosis, it became a little dog.  A close contender for a name was Elvis, but he ended up being named Truman.  And now, he wags his little stump-tail when we rock out in the practice space.  He'll play bass in the band when he's old enough to get into the bars (he's only 6 months old currently).    

Reminder folks - our first show in over 6 months is this Tuesday night, February 12 at Empty Bottle!  It just so happens to be our favorite music venue AND it just so happens to be a free show!  But it's ONLY free if you RSVP by clicking this link and following the instructions on the page.  You MUST RSVP before midnight on Monday night, February 11 in order to avoid paying an $8 cover.  Sorry for all the capitalized words, but we'd love to see you at the show, and we'd hate to see you pay a cover if you don't have to.  See you Tuesday night!
