Halloween Party Saturday at Jillian's of Albany

Hey Guys…


We just received another great album review… 10 out of 10 from the Gulf Cost Music Review! (http://gcmusic.tmblr.net)


If you haven’t seen Video Episode 39 from our CD release party, you can find it on our website as well as YouTube.


This Saturday night we’re making our annual Halloween stop at Jillian’s in Albany. There is not a better spot in Albany to go for a Halloween party. Last year, we dressed up as Wizard of Oz characters… what do you think we’ll do this year? Come by and find out. And we’re bringing a bunch of new songs… at leaqst 6 new songs never played at Jillian’s before!


We still need your help! Magic Hat Beer is having a huge contest to find a band to sponsor. We want to be that band, but we can’t do it without your comments and votes. So please go to the link below and leave a comment for us. The deadline is rapidly approaching and we’re starting out way behind a bunch of other bands. But it’s easily within reach if a bunch of you will help out! Please forward this to your friends and ask them to vote as well! We appreciate any support you can muster!

Wake Up Dead 10/25/09 12:30 am Andy

What a phenomenal weekend. "Big Sexy" Greg Nash and I drove to Plattsburgh whilst listening to the Megadeth catalog in chronological order. You should have seen the looks on the other drivers faces watching us play air guitar and "rock out" all while swerving in and out of lanes. Dangerous I know but well worth the risk. Plattsburgh is always a good time and they really treat us well there. I slept about 4hrs this weekend and I think I'm coming down with something so I'm off to sleep!

10-18-2009 Mark: Sunday Night

Spent the afternoon with Jeff Knight out in the cold. Jeff directed our Never Know video and he asked me to play a role in this short film he's working on. It's been almost 20 years since I did anything like that... the rest of the guys on the set were very patient with me remembering my lines and keep them straight while trying not to shiver at the same time. It should be prety cool by the time they're done.

We’re not sure if you guys have been keeping up with the What’s New page of our website lately, but lots of good things are falling our way. Last week, our drummer Greg, won the Drum Off Competition at Guitar Center… in November, he heads to Brooklyn to compete in a National semi-final round. And this week, Greg has a blog on the Modern Drummer website. www.moderndrummer.com (scroll down on the right).

Last week, we received another great review of our new album from UC Radio in LA:
“I was blown away by this band right away… The first time that I heard the lead singer Debbie Gabrione’s voice, I was hooked. They got great songs, excellent lyrics, great melodies, and like I said, Debbie’s voice just ties it all together. The album Don’t Act Like You Know Me, is solid all the way through… I ended up buying the album and wanted to play almost every song on the show today... On top of it all, Debbie is just f&%$in’ hot... This is a top of the UC Radio List recommendation.”

New photos, as well as Episode 39, are up on our website. Episode 39 is from our CD release show at Vapor in Saratoga (Our next Vapor show is coming up on Nov 6).

And we still need help getting a sponsorship from Magic Hat Beer. Please go to the link below and leave a comment for the Magic Hat people, letting them know we’d be great band to sponsor. We’re making great headway, but there are still a ton of bands ahead of us. Seems like lots of those bands have their friends posting a comment every day. We’re not sure if quantity counts, but it sure looks good, so we still need your help! http://magichat.net/ontour/bands/ten_year_vamp_0

And last but not least, this weekend, we’re headed up to Plattsburgh for 2 shows at Olive Ridley’s - we’ve added a handful of new songs to the set, so we can’t wait! And if you’re not going to be in Plattsburgh this weekend, stop by Jillian’s on Friday night. Our good friend, Chris Dukes (from Moxie), has a big CD release show - it’s a killer CD so stop by and pick one up!

We Need Your Help Again... and 2 Albany Shows This Weekend.

Hey Guys… Lots of stuff this week.
Tomorrow night, our drummer Greg Nash, is competing at Guitar Center on Wolf Road in Colonie NY for a Nationwide drummer competition. Tomorrow is round 2. We’re gonna be there to support Greg and we’d love for all of you to come out too! We already know he’s the best drummer on the East Coast - it’s time the rest of the country find that out! Soooo… Guitar Center, Wolf Road, 7pm.

Friday, we’re at the Bayou in Albany and then several hours later, we’re playing a special acoustic show at Macy’s in Colonie Center. At 11am will be playing a bunch of our original songs and 2 hand-fulls of cover songs that we DON’T play with the full band. It’s a big charity day at Macy’s so come out and support!

And more importantly than all that, we need your help! Magic Hat Beer is having a huge contest to find a band to sponsor. We want to be that band, but we can’t do it without your comments and votes. So please go here: http://magichat.net/ontour/bands/ten_year_vamp_0 and leave a comment for us. The deadline is rapidly approaching and we’re starting out way behind a bunch of other bands.

8:55pm Wednesday night. I'm sitting on the couch watching the Science Channel and going over my lines for this short film I'm going to be in. We start shooting soon and I get to play the main bad guy!

I just finished editing the latest video Episode. Episode 38... all I can say is that it's a classic. I hope everyone can appreciate it as much as Andy and I do. :)
