What's New-November

project from Frank and Stan is finally completed and is scheduled for
delivery on December 15th. Visit

for more details on the recording, samples from the eleven tracks and to
order your copy.
What's New-June/July 2005
Re-mastered
versions of "Footwork" and "At The Edge Of This Thought" have been
placed on the downloads page. Our good
friend and most excellent photographer Brian Tirpak has given us some
great shots from the Orion Studios concert. These are in the
Photo Gallery.
The show at
XM Radio's performance theater went well. The sound for the guests in
the live room was less than perfect we know (the band was all in
headphones), but the recorded version sounds really good! We would like
to thank everyone at XM radio, and our guests for making this concert
one to remember. We will be posting the airing time and date here.
Regretfully
the show at the Birchmere was cancelled by the venue when advance ticket
sales were reported to be low. Our local fans have told us in no few
numbers that they always buy their tickets at the door there, as seating
is not reserved, and the advance tickets cost more. We apologize for the
inconvenience this may have caused anyone, and hopefully the venue will
not be so hasty in the future. We will try to play another show in the
Baltimore/DC area soon.
HAPPY THE MAN to Headline

The
Lowell,Mass concert June 5th was a real pleasure for the band. Thanks to
everyone at Newears for such a warm welcome and a great time. Here are
