Hey everybody!  I'm back home but not slowing down one bit.  Bhive has been prepping for a big show and mini-tour out in Indiana in a few weeks.  The show at Lafayette Theater is getting bigger by the minute.  Word of mouth has already sold half the theater out and the radio spots haven't even started yet.  We're hoping for a sellout.
     Exciting news on the Britny Fox front too.  We've added a few more shows.  We'll be hitting West Springfield, VA on May 29th to play JAXX.  The next night we'll be at Mac's Bad Art Bar in Syracuse.  Don't let the low key name fool you.  This is an awesome venue and I'm really looking forward to playing there.  And really exciting news about May 31st.  Anyone who has been following this blog probably is aware we're playing a big hometown show at The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, NY with Tyketto. It's an all ages show and tix are being sold for $12 each, but here's the really cool part - as a thank you to all my friends and fans who've been following my Rocklog, if you sign my guestbook and provide me with a snail mail address, I'll hook you up with free tix for the Donkey show.  The free tickets ARE limited so make sure you sign up today.  It's first come first served.

     We're back home now after finishing the first leg of the tour.  Thursday night we played at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh.  I had no idea how nice Pittsburgh is.  Like all Hard Rocks, the club was beautiful and the part of town it's located in is definitely worth a visit. 
     The last night of the tour was the best show.  The crew working at Lakeview Manor in Fulton, NY is great.  The place was completely packed and the show went very smoothly.  The fans were the most intense and knew every song word for word.  The venue is large and very well run.  They even provided security for us with a crew who are very good at their jobs.  Thanks guys! 
     Now we'll be on a break for a few weeks then it's back out to Virginia and working our way up to Long Island for a killer show at the Crazy Donkey on May 31st.  All you NYers better come out and say hi!  It's going to be our last medium-sized show before we start hitting the bigger summer festivals like Rocklahoma in July. 
     In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to getting back to my original band, Bhive.  Johnny, Joe Mama, Ray, Mikey Bobo and I are coming your way soon.  You might come to a Bhive show as a stranger, but EVERYONE leaves as a fan.  It's IMPOSSIBLE not to have a great time at a Bhive show.  Be sure to check us out!!!  www.myspace.com/bhive  We'll be playing a massive show in Lafayette, Indiana in June and the Fred Stock festival in Fredericksburg, VA at the end of June. 

    Oh boy, oh boy!  I really wanted to keep up with this site every day but life on the road is very busy.  We've been all over the place.  We played a show at Vnuks in Cudahy, WI and met some very cool people.  The people working at Vnuks were pro all the way and I want to say hey to Mike and Brian - sorry guys, I wanted to put our pic up but it came out pretty dark!  The crowd was heavy duty into the show and that was fun.  Special, special thanks to Velvet Dog - the V.D. you wanna have - bringing decadence to rock!  Taj and crew were freaking way cool and if you get a chance, you must see them.  Check out their website  www.myspace.com/velvetdogmusic or www.velvetdogmusic.com
     From there we stopped by Lake Michigan to check it out - amazing it looks like an ocean - and then headed over to Jamie's hometown for a little "Happy Birthday Mom" time.  For anyone who doesn't know, fun fact about Jamie - he is a KICK ASS chef and he loves cilantro!
     Cinco de Mayo was cool at our show in Cheektowaga, NY at Rock N Roll Heaven and then it was over to Pittsburgh.  But since we were down the block from it, we had to make a stop at Niagara Falls.  It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.  Tonight we're playing a sold out show at the Hard Rock Cafe.
    
    

   Just have a quick update on two things....Tomorrow we'll be calling into WHPC 90.3 the Hairhut with JT Cane in the NY area.  We've been checking in from the road weekly at 12:15 on Saturdays but please note that this Saturday we'll be calling in at 11:15!
   Also, check out www.sonofapreacher.spaces.live.com   Brett is this very cool dude we met this week and he's an expert on music.  He wrote a great article about us and has some incredible pics posted on his site.  He's a really good guy out to support music and musicians.  Check his site out.

     Okay, I'm a little more awake now and can tell you about the last few days!  On Wednesday we were in Kansas City, MO.  We were getting ready to play the Riot Room when in walks mega-metal band, Lamb of God.  The guys apparently are big Britny Fox fans and after putting on their own killer show in MO, came out to watch our show.  Chris Adler and all the guys are great.  We were so glad they came to see us and we had a blast hanging out with them.  We wish them the best of luck on the rest of their tour and with the new album "Wrath"!
     Yesterday we were in Greenville, WI.  We've been treated really well everywhere we've stopped on this tour, but major props go out to the "Brothers Extraordinaire" over at Route 15.  They treated us like kings.  They run an incredible club and the food is just ridiculous!  If you're ever in the area, be sure to order the Britny Fox wrap - a new menu item created just for us and 100% endorsed by the band!  If you like steak, your mouth will thank you.  The show was pretty damn rockin too.  Real rock fans live in Wisconsin for sure!
     Right now we're on the road heading to The Symposium in Lakewood, Ohio.  We have a show tonight and we should just about make it to town about an hour before soundcheck.  We're jumping time zones today and hoping to get there without being late.
