Title: Asking The AH Community's Support...
Post by: thndregg on July 05, 2013, 08:47:03 AM
Hey, all..

While my time playing Aces High and blasting the map with the 91st BG has been sporadic at best, here's a good reason why. My local band has had a successful summer full of shows so far, most recently opening for Tesla, and we're very close to completing work on our debut CD.

We're competing for a spot in a national battle of the bands contest: http://battle.rockstaruproar.com
Our band, Gypsy Saints, is hoping to win the opening spot for Alice In Chains, Jane's Addiction, and a few other great bands at a show in Nampa, ID.

http://battle.rockstaruproar.com/u/GypsySaints

We've posted a sample of our music, links to our site, Facebook Page, and Reverbnation page. We will have more music posted once our debut CD/EP is released.
We'd appreciate your vote, and would like you to share these links around & spread the word.

Thanks!

Phil (thndrEGG, C.O. 91st BG))
Keyboardist, Gypsy Saints

Will do. We are taking pre-orders now at www.gypsysaints.com/store

There's not much more to do on it. It's very close to going to the mastering engineer.

I had an "Oh! Duh.." moment..  :lol

I just found out you can vote once a day, so for you folks that have already put in your two cents, feel free to put in a few more & check out the tune we put up off of our CD that's being mastered right now. I hope we get this thing... opening for Alice In Chains would really give us a boost. Thanks very much, you guys..  :cool:

In other news, I actually found some time to play AH this weekend. Are you Rooks tired of me sinking your ships? ;)

Thanks, guys..

Wrapped up another rehearsal last night for a local metal-fest show this weekend. Still waiting on our mastering engineer as he's working on the CD. I'd love to put up some more tunes if I could. I've got all the premastered stuff on this PC.  :rock

I hate waiting...  :lol

One thing that will help us as well along with the votes.. "Like" and share this page around. Internet traffic really helps.

How is opening for a Tesla a big deal?  A band from 20 years ago that virtually no one listens to and has been reduced to playing free shows at Ribfests and Carnivals..   :rofl
Pretty sad you have to ride the tails of another band to get the word out..

I know the question wasn't directed at me, but my very first experience was in 2011 opening for Robin Trower in Boise. For a first gig, that was ****** AWESOME in front of 800 at the local concert house..  :cool:

Then Tesla..

And now we just got word we are opening for Great White at another local venue.

Here's something else we just posted. Not bad on a tight budget.  :cool:

Enjoy.
