Well, five years of development has led us to today. We began recording the first true Xfusion album. I went by Shawn's (engineer) place to help him load the mobile studio and headed over to Jeff's (drummer).

As I've mentioned, we've got this show on Saturday night at Arden Guild Hall.  The doors open around 6 and there are other bands playing (Enuf Rope and a couple others).  These are all friends of ours and the "gig" is a free party (did I mention it's free?).  I expect that Xfusion will go on no later than 9pm.  We're debuting the entire album that ( Read more... )

Just got back from a week in Kentucky. We did Hedwig and it rocked. Stayed in a haunted B&B (with no cable or internets), but the show has really come a long way.
