Holy crap. My band's new album released today, and I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. It took over a year to finish everything (and I didn't even do most of the work, you can thank Cameron and Jeremy for spending insane amounts of time and energy to get this thing produced), and we had a huge change about 1/4 of the way through where we were forced to let our bassist go, and our guitarist had to replace him so we could get another guitarist because bass is his native instrument. Eventually things stabilized when we recruited a new guitarist. Eventually things stabilized, but it was little hectic for a while.

I know you guys are all broke, so it would mean a lot to me if you at least gave the songs a listen if you can't afford it.

Hey, this is some pretty cool stuff. If you guys ever need to book a show in Seattle, I have a number of connections to bands and a few booking agents here. And I can do photography.

Geez, I didn’t realize any Jul-ers were in groovy bands!

Dude, We need to get in contact. Currently, our band is located on a 500 square mile island in Hawaii where we've basically lived our whole lives, the island of Kauai. There are no connections here whatsoever, and there is absolutely no way to make it in the music industry by staying.

We've been planning our escape for a long time but it's not easy. We want to tour, but don't really know where to start, especially considering that a plane ticket to California by itself is like $500 and I'm sure no booking agent wants to pay that on top of other expenses just to get some unknown band when they can just pick up local acts.

I'm not asking you to work your magic wand a pull a show out of your ass but it would be nice if we could keep in contact. Any connections help.

Send me a message on Jul with your personal Facebook! I heard you guys were thinking of going to LA? That’s actually really tough and the market there is hella saturated. But I do think you guys have a sound the LA-ers would vibe with.

Touring and stuff right now is a pretty DIY venture these days. A Kickstarter could help getting money together but I’ve been told that when you go on tour, you should expect to lose money anyway. I went on tour with a band from Seattle over the summer acting as their photographer and they definitely didn’t turn a profit. But they made tons of connections and made fans all over the coast! I met a lot of people that way, too, and now if I’m ever stranded in Eugene, Oregon or something, I have a place to stay.

A plane ticket to Portland, OR or Seattle, WA might actually be cheaper and then you can tour the whole West Coast! Or maybe even all of America. I know some bands that did a several months long tour across the entire United States. You’ll have to find some way to drive around and oftentimes you’ll be relying on crashing at people’s houses to save money, which can be a great experience (or a terrible one, but that gets you awesome tour stories). But, yeah, unless you know some people who’d act as a booking agent for your band, you might have to do your own booking.

Have you guys thought about relocating? I know you guys are thinking of moving to LA but music scenes are hot all over the West Coast. San Francisco, Portland and Seattle all have thriving music scenes and they could be places you could try to base yourselves in temporarily before heading out to LA. Seattle in particular is a good place to be right now since it has tons of jobs and such.

Yea, we've been talking about relocating for a while since it's the only logical option for advancing. The reason we're talking about LA is that we do have some connections there. I can't tell you exactly who they are because idk if they'd be ok with that, but one of them is a producer that worked with some pretty big names (the one I can recall off the top of my head is Chris Brown), who's been in contact with one of our guys for a while. He's not really interested in producing us but he's a big if factor because he's got some friends in some high places. Another is a guy that was big in the 70's, and he's been trying to shop us around with some of his friends in LA. We're waiting to see how that one rides out for the time being.

Another plus side to California is that I have a lot of family there that I could possibly stay with.

Of course, if all that falls through, Seattle does sound like a better idea. We want to move this summer or next so we can see what we have going and what we don't. Plus, one of our guys are still in high school so we gotta wait for him anyways haha. The plan is to save up as much money as we can and basically sell everything we own to get up to the mainland somehow.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
