New shows, Recognition and other musings

Hey everyone, 

This is very exciting as we have some pretty big news to share.  This may be the most information heavy post we've done yet.   

First up-  SteveFest  Taking place August 11.  Show starts at 1:00 PM and goes on til 2 AM!   The day's going to be filled with live music.  It's taking place @ NC Music Factory's The Saloon and TWBM's opening the event.  

August 18th, we're shooting a new music video.  We'll post more details on that later, but we've got some amazing ideas in store and a fantastic crew to work with.  

On August 29th, we're heading back to The Saloon and playing a full set.  This is going to be a fun night and you won't want to miss out 

On the topic of recognition, you should check this site, City Web Awards, and vote for us (today)!  We've been nominated for the 2012 Best Kickstarter Campaign award through the City Web Awards hosted by Elevate Lifestyle and Blackfinn American Saloon in Charlotte, NC  The awards take place August 10th at the EpiCentre in uptown Charlotte.

And if all that weren't enough-  well, there's the 2012 Weenie Roast.   Local Radio Station, 106.5 The End, is bringing back the long missed music festival and this year they're wanting to have one local band open the show.   We're already entered and voting starts on July 30th.  This one is going to require YOUR help.  We need YOU to vote for us so that we can open the largest music event in Charlotte this year.  

Thanks for reading, and we hope to hear from YOU soon

Musings...and other things of note

Robert here. We've not kept up as well as we'd like, but we're doing our best. Things are moving along here in the TWBM camp. We're working to stay busy this summer and move into the fall with shows to play and things to share. Speaking of shows, word on the street is that the Weenie Roast is coming back to Charlotte in September, and that they are looking for a local opener. No word on how that will go down, but keep your eyes peeled and vote for us if that's something they want. I think it'll be along those lines. We could sure use your support on that one.

So that's the major news. We've got more things coming down the pipeline, but I'll keep my mouth shut on them for now. Got to keep some surprises :-)

I did, however, want to take to time to discuss the concept of creation. We just released an album, Separation Anxiety, back in May. Seems like so long ago now, even after it seemed to take forever to get there. Even now, just a few weeks later, I can already feel the itch to do more, to give you listeners more to work with, more to hear. I certainly get why it's good for bands to tour: not just for revenue, but to give the songs time to settle and really breathe. It's harder to do that in a smaller outfit like ours. That being said, we'll be pressing on with writing in the not-too-distant future, though it'll be some time before those new creations actually see the light of day. Suffice it to say, that for me--and, I think, for the rest of the band--this is something that is important. The ability to create and make something that people want to hear and want to connect with is so amazing, and I'm blessed to be able to do it. Thank you for listening and for reading and for engaging. We couldn't do it without you.

God bless,
Robert
