What's the story? Where'd he go?

The guy definitely believes in what he believes in and doesn't cave to pressure. Admirable traits IMO!
Last I heard from him a week or so ago. He and his band are really trying for a record deal. Been playing some shows for a record company.

I hope he proves all the nay sayers wrong.

Wow guys. Here's the update:

I have been crazy busy. The band has taken up all of my time and so has work. 100% of my day is focused on music when I am not eating, sleeping or having sex. I got a job at The House of Blues here in Chicago and they have been giving me long hours on odd ends of the day. My 9-5 will be all night and last week I had to put in a 20 hour shift... like 8am to 4am. I don't mind it, I love what I do.

Two days ago my band had a sit down and talked with a man that works for multiple record companies. He's (PERSONALLY) funding the studio time for us to record a whole album after thanksgiving. He wants us done by Xmas or New Years Day. After that we play out and find a record deal. He thinks we have a future not only to get a deal, but a major deal... we were even in talks that we could become millionaires off of the music I "created". What I created is nothing new, just a few old twists on older styles.

As for the Marauder, it only get's driven once a week or so. I usually ride the train around town and to work. I would drive everywhere if I could, but for the money I am making, the train makes more sense than going though a gallon of gas every 5.5 miles and paying for downtown parking. $4.40 to get to work and come home beats $15.

I just put my snow tires on to find that I bent a rim and I need a new battery. So tomorrow will consist of band practice at 10am, then finding a battery, going to a shop to hammer my wheel back into place.... etc. Even on days off there is no time for rest. I am on the music everyday.

Finally, being kicked out of the Marauder community was the best thing to happen to me. Seriously. It sounds silly, but I spent a lot of time on that site when I should have been using my time to book shows, make contacts and write songs for the band. I go on there maybe once a month, if that. I even got an offer a few meets ago to go back on mm.net and my exact words were; "If I cannot say whatever the fuck I want, I don't wanna be around. My behavior won't be any different and I will mess with the swear filter all day if I have to, to get a point across to some idiot."

Things are great. Very busy and no time to rest at all. Sometimes I cannot sleep because I cannot stop thinking. Lots of flakes and let downs this year, but things have never been better.

Thanks for thinking of me guys!

I have been listing to these songs over and over. I cannot get enough of them. Both great for cruising, but the second one is almost perfect fitting for the Marauder, a 60s song with modern punch... like the Marauder... 60s (technically 50s) throwback with modern kick... just like what I am passing off with the band.

Must be played in your Marauder at full blast!
