Kind reviews... - July 18, 2008

We’ve been getting some great reviews for “Last Man Standing” – here are a few one-liners that entertained us the most!

“If you're looking for a unique album that you're willing to take a chance on, this is it.”

“I never thought anyone loved "Corn Dogs" so much that they could write a song about them, but the final song on this album proves there is.”

“The beauty of a rubber band is that it is simultaneously flexible, strong, and still holds everything together.”

“Bluegrass loyalists may find this happy hybrid insufficiently traditional, and rock fans may think this too pop.”

“Some bands might beat you up and steal your lunch money in a dark alley, but if you actually ran into the RubberBand under those same circumstances, they'd almost certainly help you find the nearest bus stop, wait there with you until your bus showed up and probably even buy you a corn dog.”

“Just came across this album yesterday and downloaded the most popular song listed… then downloaded the entire album after listening to the first song!”

“I can’t stop listening to it!”

“… they aren’t singing just for money, they sing and play because they have fun doing it!”

“Masterful, Magical, Fun, Brilliant, Pure Genius!”

Well, thanks all.  We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Ryan Shupe has appendix removed yet continues to rock - June 24, 2008

As many of you know who have been to one of our shows in the past few weeks, Ryan Shupe had his appendix removed and played a show 2 days later. He has been playing shows steadily since the operation about 2 weeks ago. He says that it has been painful, in fact it still hurts after a few weeks, but when he is on stage he doesn't feel as much pain. Shupe is very grateful to the fans for all of their support.

We have a winner! - June 03, 2008

The unanimous winner of our "I can be an Awesome MC" essay contest is Danny Carver. Here's an excerpt from his excellent essay:

"Here is another idea "Who Wants To Be Americas Next
Greatest Top Guitar Playing Guitar Guy." It is a very original show. We will have three judges, maybe one would be from the UK, or at least have a funny accent. We would have a contest where guitar players from around the globe would battle it out to become "Americas Next Greatest Top Guitar Playing Guitar Guy."
They would all live in a crappy one bedroom apartment. To see what it is like to pay their dues. Then they would have challenges that would show them what it is really like to be a musician. Like carrying your own gear around. We would have a challenge where they have to carry a Marshall stack to the top of the Empire State Building using the stairs.
Or race to the top of a mountain and set up a fog machine before playing an awesome guitar solo."

Prepare to be amazed by Danny, our awesome opener, and maybe even us this coming Friday at the Sandy Amphitheater. More info on the tour page.
