Report from the road: We are heading into our last week of shows with Joe Satriani. All in all it has been a fantastic ride! Every show has been sold out and filled with lovers of all things guitar. Special thanks to Joe "I Just Wanna Rock" Satriani and band, his GREAT road crew, and all of the JS fans for making us welcome.

With much gratitude and respect,
Steve

09/2/07 - "I just got home from Europe after our summer tour. We had a great time playing the shows. A big thank-you to our old and new friends in Germany and Holland! On our 2 days off we managed to record some basic tracks for the new studio record, and sneak in meetings with our A&R man from our label ZYX, (Koch / Pepper Cake in the US) our booking agencies, and our manager Andrew. Special thanks to the folks at BluesMoose Radio www.bluesmoose.nl for a great time! And yes I will be looking forward to hosting my own radio show! (Details announced soon)

With much gratitude and appreciation I wish to thank our production manager Henny Lathouwers and our FOH mixer Marcel "Wolf" van Staveren for keeping the show on the road. And last but not least special thanks to my great rhythm section Barend and Hans! (This is only the beginning!)
