Hey Everybody,

Yea it’s hit and miss with my blogs here lately but I’m trying to get back in the swing. So here I am about midnight on Thursday. I just watched the final cut of our first video!! Yes the one I have been hyping for to long!! The video for Dance is finished and will be hitting the web in a week or so. So yes I am pretty stoked at this moment. I just put in John mayer Trio to listen to while I write, very good stuff! Yes indeed I have a tumbler of Crown on the Rocks and am happy to be alive!

We’ve been through some shit these past few weeks keeping me from my normal frame of mind, but hey, tonight I am feeling like myself again for the first time in a while! We go through so many highs and lows that it’s hard to handle at times. Yea Yea big rock band has problems too!! LOL!! The price of fuel is making it very very hard to plan touring and among other things just the business itself is changing so rapidly it’s a daily headache.

But then I have these moments, like I said I feel great tonight and I’m happy to be blogging some good news to our friends!! So no POLITICS tonight! LOL!!

The past 3 months have been simply incredible for the band. The new 3 song promo for our upcoming album is now available an hitting radio everywhere we are!! LOL! The band as a unit is sounding and performing at an all time high and getting along like brothers as we should. We did a couple of shows recently with The Marshall Tucker Band, those guys are some of the coolest people around. We actually ended up on stage with them jamming at the last show. Doud Grey himself aske dme onstage with them, a career high!! Scooby and Cody ended up singing with them the same night onstage! It was cool comorader!!

So we are off to Covington Kentucky Saturday morning at 5 am~~ We have to trek up there in a Large Van because it’s a one off show!! Not real pleasant but worth it to jam at the Deadwood with Jeff Willis!! Speaking of tour bus travel, I am happy to to tell that Swamp is in negotiations now with a National sponsor for the tour!! Cant say who yet!! LOL!

Lots of stuff coming I cant say yet but I am going to commit to keeping you all in the loop as much as possible. Thank You for being a friend and fan of the band!! Share the Blogs!

In A Final Note;

To think you can is to do…

Use a spoon.

Hey everybody!

It’s been a month or so since my last blog, I dont know how I’ll ever catch up. We’ve been in and out of a few states with some teriffic shows and met some fabulous people. I think I’ve met and hung out with more people from myspace in the last 4 weeks than ever before, that was cool!! It is always intriguing to meet people like that!!

So anyway lets see if we can get caught up here;

We have finished the new relaease bundle coming out digitally in a couple weeks as well as retail in the summer. We finished our first real video ever which will air on a few major networks and be all over the net as well as swampdawamp.com in like a week and is included in the for sale copy of this release which is now aptly named SwampDaWamp 2.0. The video will actually be on the cd with the tracks!

The last month or so we’ve been in the studio recording and in our own studio writing. So we’ve been scarce on here. The shit is about to hit the fan, we’ll see what blows back!!LOL!!
