Many of you have been asking us what's going on regarding the Indie Heaven voting/compilation CD. The good news is, we have the answers for you. The bad news is, you're probably not going to like them. Before we get into what happened, let me first say that you guys have been amazingly supportive. So supportive, in fact, that we broke into the top ten, and as of this news posting still reside at number 9 on the charts. Technically speaking, we would have "won" and gotten on the mix CD. However, the rules for the contest changed per an E-mail we got yesterday morning (when the contest was supposed to have ended). The powers that be decided to extend the deadline to the 31st of December due to high volume of traffic on the site and positive response from the visitors. You guys have been awesome, sticking with this for a month, and we understand the frustration that many of you have expressed. Your efforts did not go unnoticed on the part of the band, and it does mean a lot to us that you made such a concentrated effort on our behalf. Many of you feel that technically speaking, we "won", and that is totally thanks to you guys. The fact is, however, that the contest is still going on, and will do so through December 31st. While we're disheartened that we were put in a position to disappoint you guys, we are still asking for your votes and support through December 31st. We realize it's a long way off, especially with the holidays coming up, but we're sure that we can break through with your support. Who knows? We might even get to number 1! And to top it all off, you guys get to be exposed to some great new artists through Indie Heaven. So keep voting, keep coming to shows, and keep being awesome. Thanks again, guys.

We have just learned that a landmark of the New York City music scene, CBGBs, is being forced to close it's doors at the end of August. After 31 years of historic rock, their landlord wants to kick them out for reasons that are questionable at best. For those of you who are not familiar with it, this venue has been hailed as the birthplace of punk music. Such greats as The Ramones, Television, Blondie, and countless other musically significant bands have frequented the venue. I myself have seen several great shows there in recent years. I strongly enourage you guys to sign the petition to keep CBGB's open. If you're able to, throw a little support their way. Every little bit helps. Whatever money they get above and beyond their needs will go to help the city's homeless - so either way you're helping a good cause. And if you're in NY and have a chance, be sure to catch a show there. It really is a very cool place. Thanks for listening.

As many of you know by now, Philly's last remaining modern rock station,Y100, has gone off the air. The parent company's decision to pull the plug has created a void in the Philly rock scene and destroyed a big part of our local culture in the process. Philly is now the only major city in America without a modern rock station. We love going to rock shows - but how many shows do you think will be coming to Philly now that their promotion is so limited? We understand the industry, and know that this was a business decision. However, we feel this is flagrant corporate irresponsiblity that leaves thousands of rock fans in the cold and will negatively impact our local area. We would like to voice our support for Y100, and encourage all of you to sign the petition to bring rock back to Philly. 50,000 people have already done so. Also, please check out www.y100rocks.com to find out about getting involved in the protests and other events. The only thing we ask is that you conduct your protests in a law abiding and respectful manner - this is a passionate subject, but we won't help anything by losing our cool. Thanks for listening. Take care, and we'll see you at the next show.

"...being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ..." Philippians 1:6

We are excited about everything God has been doing in our lives. We have seen His faithfulness as He has led us through some difficult places in our growth as Believers and as a band. He is unchanging in the midst of all the changes and uncertainties we face. We praise Him for His continued work in us, and our prayer as we move forward is that we will learn to be more like Christ.
