Today I just found out that a local casino wants to pay our band $1,250 a night every Saturday POOLSIDE for 3-months straight.

I'm inclined to believe this band is progressing. How cool is that offer?

LOL STOKED!!!

Gee, when you going to host your VEGAS BMIX PARTY? lol

I'm positively impressed, I must say. I knew you guys were good! It's about time the rest of the world knew it, too.

Egg-sell-ent!

That's awesome!

Particularly considering that we are in a tougher market, with the economy still down!

It always goes to sho too, that the "troubles" seem to come right before really good things do!

Has everyone moved past the former issues?

Keep rockin'... er... Reggaeing the Rafters, brother!

And you are well worth the money too, Id love to come see you guys.
Much luck

Way cool, Shredd... Congrats and good luck with the gig. What casino? I'd like to drop by and listen to you guys.

Congrats on the gig Shredd, a couple of years ago you wouldnt have thought you would be poolside would you!

OH YEAH, TRY TO...


GET A CONTRACT!

Oh yea. There's a contract involved for sure. Casinos don't mess around. It will also come with a 1099.

This is one of the best gigs you can get in Vegas for a working band. We can even set up a merch table. They do a lot of the promotion. It's a killer way to gain new fans. It'll be at the Green Valley Ranch Resort "The Pond". It's an awesome pool area they have there.



This is the section we'll be playing in:



JW, no doubt.. A couple years ago I was ready to hang it up for a while. This band has been the best I've been in by far. I don't have a desire to go back to Hard-Core anytime soon.

Awesome Shredd!

Soooo happy for you guys!!!


Now what about...

A BAND contract in place?

What about the band agreeing to use ONE of the week's worth of money, to TRADEMARK your band name and images?

Get some SERIOUS BUSINESS out of the way NOW, cause you guys are on the way, and you DO NOT want the business end of music, screwing you up, when you are JUST ABOUT TO BREAK OUT!

Remember the lessons of MY former band!


We had just started getting $1500 to $2500 dollar gigs... Sturgis Bike Rally had offered us a series of 16 gigs, we were coming out with our Debut CD, and had already been played on a number of radio stations!!!

I just learned from one of them, that they can't get a decent paying gig to save their lives anymore!

They made a CRUCIAL error, because of GREED, and lost their main talent.... "ME"


Don't let this happen to YOUR fine band, brother!

I know, I've been meaning to call you. We just got REAL wrapped up in shows, studio, photo-shoot, interview type stuff. I've sat in on every studio session except for maybe one. I'll call you later today ok.

Anytime before 10pm though, cause I have to go to Karaoke tonight!


I'm meeting a friend, who has a girl singer, and I may back her up for a Cigar Piano Bar Jazz, type of gig. It would only pay us about $250 or so, but I think it is only for 2 or 3 hours, like 6pm to 8pm, and it would be once weekly, every week.

And I could use some cash, so I might just do it!


LOL


But again... I am really happy for you brother! And I get to gloat a little too, cause I told you, a long while back, when you wondered whether joining this band would be good for you, that I felt it was a GREAT situation for you, that it would expand your musical and creative horizons, and that I felt you would be with them for a good while, and it would be beneficial for your career.

And I say all that, because I wish for EVERYONE reading this... to TRUST a little more, in the SPIRITUAL SIDE, we all possess within ourselves!


Let it be your guide!


Jah Rules!

SO COOL!! Might have to take another trip out to Vegas sooner rather than later
