    Whew, been a while since I had any personal time whatsoever. So here is an update:

    Got a promotion about a month ago at work. No more being a service writer at the dealership for me! Now I'm the dispatcher and assistant manager in the shop, and babysit/coordinate all the repair orders for a couple dozen man children who seemingly cry more than they fix cars. Yay!!

    After 6? months of work my bands album is finally out! Fuck yeah!! We have been playing more lately and already working on writing enough new material for a new full length album. Looking to do more regional shows and promoting the fuck out of the band to score some better gigs.

    Not Dead Yet

    Still waiting for Star Citizen to come out. Cant wait. For now, I have about 2 hours of free time a night before getting maybe 4-5 hours of sleep before another 11-12 hour day followed by band practice, writing sessions, the bar, hahaha.

    I have been listening to your album. It is fantastic, definitely reminds me of stuff I used to listen to a lot like Pennywise.

    Have listened, will buy.

    I am running under the assumption, based on the band photos, that Not Dead Yet are a spin-off band from an unwatched episode of Sons of Anarchy.
    Like Punk Monkees.

    had flashbacks to my old alkaline trio days - good stuff, haha

    if you make it up to minneapolis make it known, i'll drink some beers and throw some 'bows. i also know some folks in the booking business up here, have a friend who does (did?) promoting for the varsity theater but i think she works for live nation now doing booking of some kind. no idea how the whole business works between bands and venues but if nothing else she might be able to give some leads on folks to talk to if you guys aren't too connected up here...

    anyways, grats on the release, diggin' the tunes
