Some of my pics are up at the HM Fan Site on myspace from the Metro show. This show was an absolute blast! The guys were on fire. It was Larry's last official show as guitarist. The new guy, Ashoka Warrier, joined them on stage for the last few songs. It was intense with 3 guitars going. The guys were all over the stage. Love it!!!

No video. I tend to only take it at his acoustic shows. Too hard to jump around and hold the camera steady. lol Thanks for the compliments. Hopefully, once the album comes out this summer they'll start touring. I'm hoping that this summer they'll coordinate a show the same weekend as LH. One on Friday, one on Saturday. That would be the ultimate weekend!!!

This was posted by HM on holdingmercury.com 5/19/08
Hey, all....First off, just wanted to say thanks so much for all your support. We've been really busy getting the final details of the label together and finishing three more tunes. These three are very strong and a bit heavier than the rest of the tunes on Downfall of an Empire, and should round out the record nicely. The new tunes are:
1. Best of Times
2. Say Something
3. Cancerous
in addition to the tunes we've already recorded:
1. Let it Go
2. Stuck in a Box
3. Standing 8 Count
4. I'm Not Well
5. Anchors Away
6. Glad You're Gone
7. No One Around (Modern Shakesperean Tragedy)
8. Do You?
9. Unrequited Love
10. Smile & Wave
So that will make for a 13 song record....plenty for folks to sink their teeth into when it's finally mixed and mastered.
Other than that, we're getting some merch in order (stickers, buttons, wristbands, shirts, etc.) and laying out a plan for an official release in late summer (August/September, most likely).
We appreciate all your help. Sorry if we haven't gotten back to y'all, but we're trying to get all this stuff in order as we're tired of sitting on the record and wanna get out ASAP!
See y'all at Double Door, hopefully.
Best-
HM

Intrigued by the "Modern Shakespearean Tragedy"...can't wait to hear this album!
Rockfan, I feel you on the "if they'd only come to our area" sentiment. I'm with Rachel on the ultimate weekend...that sounds like a plan!

New Matt Solo show announced at www.myspace.com/matthofferSeptember, 17 2008 at Matt Solo - Dominican University 7900 W. Division St., River Forest, Illinois OMG!!! It's 5 minutes from my house! I take my dogs for a walk there! I have no excuses to not be there I guess...LOL It's a beautiful old University with tons of cultural events throughout the entire year (including my favorite theater productions). Would love to see Matt on one of those performing stages!   |
