Sonic Age Flood Relief = LOTS OF BEER!

Howdy Campers,

Man we have been having some crazy weather as of late eh? Luckily we have be spared the worse of it thus far, but I feel bad for the people who are being hard hit with the floods. I went thru it a few years ago and it sucks, so I have empathy for those who are dealing with it now.

A great way to wash away the rainy day blue is to come out to Meek's in Greenville this Friday and party with Sonic Age! We return to rip the roof off the joint, the party will be in town this weekend and you are all invited! It's been a few months since we have rolled into town, so be ready Greenville, we are on our way!

Let's talk about last weekend for a moment. We had our debut at Avalon Garden on Friday night and it was an all access party! Sherry and the girls partied with us all night long. It was awesome to not only see the staff decked out in Sonic Age gear, but also to see them on the dance floor partying with us! We managed to squeeze the Ave into our schedule a couple times for the rest of the year, but rest assured we will be there quite a bit come 2007.

Saturday night we hit The Cellar for the First Book Mahoning County chapter benefit concert. First Book gives children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. It is an incredible organization and we are not only honored to be associated with them, we support their cause 100%. The show went off without a hitch, we met so many great people and other amazing musicians who also support this great organization. We also were proud to not only play some of our more popular covers but to also play some of our own music, debuting a new song called 'Plastic Anna" to a GREAT response, all of which will appear on our upcoming CD this fall! We also were able to debut some new merchandise, including the VERY popular Sonic Age bucket hat! It was a fun night and we look forward to doing more work with First Book, Amy and everyone else involved are amazing people and are committed to helping others.

So that's what's been going on in our world, it has been a pretty eventful few weeks. The rest of the year ahead looks to be amazing, we have some great stuff coming up. Also, 2007 will be insane for us, we are already booked well into the year with more dates coming in all the time. Keep checking the site and our MySpace page for up to date news and info.

See you all this weekend!

CRAZY WEEKEND(S)

HOWDY YA'ALL - Last weekend was just crazy. We are still hearin' about it. It was the most people yet at Party on the Plaza, and we were part of it. I wish I played to 1,000 people every gig! Outdoor gigs KICK butt (of course, as long as the weather holds up, and it did this time). I just regret we didn't get brighter pictures. (digital cameras are great, but the flash doesnt exactly reach to the end of the plaza!!) :) ..but ya live and learn!

This weekend will also looks to be an exciting one. A new club for us on Friday (Avalon Gardens-23rd) and then the 1st BOOK benefit show w/ BLUSH on Sat. (24th).

Take it EZ all you crazies!

Goodbye To May, Hello To Summer!

It's that time again, warm weather, swimming pools, festivals, parties and summertime fun! We'll be kicking off the summer in STYLE on June 8th at the newest party place in Howland, Without A Paddle. They are doing their 1st annual Bike Night's and have tapped us to kick off June for them and we are happy to do it! We urge everyone to come out, its Thursday night 8 - 12, get drunk, party with us and stumble into work the next day JUST like we will and tell everyone you partied with one of the area's best rock n roll party bands, Sonic Age!

We have a busy Summer coming up so take some time and check our schedule, available here on our site and at every show. We hope to see all your smiling faces throughout the Summer months. We will be taking some time in July for some much needed rest and to finish up some work on our new CD! We are pushing hard for a late fall release and will keep you posted, we are very excited about this project and are already looking ahead to the next one, I know we're insane! We had 10 years apart so we have a LOT of music to make together now, not only to make up for that lost time but to also push us ahead. We have already recorded some of the best music I think any of us have created and to be honest, we haven't even scratched the surface of what we are capable of doing.

There is not a better singer or lyricist around than Joe, his voice is soulful and powerful, all in one breath. His lyrics can make you laugh, cry , think or run in fear - he evokes emotion in his songs and that is something lacking in music today. Steve is by far the best bass player I have ever heard or had the pleasure to play in a band with, very creative, energetic and solid as a rock! He and I have played together on and off for the better part of 15 years and I am proud to stand on stage with him every night. Eric can play shit on the drums that will make your hair stand on end, he is so creative and fluent when it comes to his craft that I sometimes get lost listening to him and forget where I am in a song! And me, well I like to think that no one lays out the heavy quite like I do - put us together and we have a great chemistry that I feel can not be matched around here. We are Sonic Age, thank you for letting us rock you!

Stay Tuned, the best is yet to come!
