We want to thank everyone who came out to see us this past weekend in Chattanooga, Auburn, and Atlanta!

We had an amazing time because of you all!!!

If was an extra fantastic time for us having the living legend Michael X O'Connor along for the journey working his magic on soundboards and just life in general.

Our truck was officially named "The Gentleman"

The official song of the week was "Just Breathe" by Pearl Jam.

And from the bottom of our hearts, thank you to the beautiful people of Today the Moon Tomorrow the Sun for letting us invade your space and be part of your cd release show! If was an honor and a pleasure and ya'll killed it. Everyone go check out and buy their new record "Heavyweight Champions" (myspace.com/todaythemoontomorrowthesun). It's sick...as in real good.

And of course thank you to the Gradone Family for being amazing. We love you. We will never eat that well again.

We'll be back to you soon Chatt, Aub, and Atlanta...until then we will miss you.

Well Nashville,

After you enjoy this perfect day with various outside activities like tennis, biking, mountain climbing, and hunting.

Come to the Mercy Lounge and enjoy some sweet tunes.  It's free.

Tonight it'll be a little different than other 8 offs because all the bands are playing a song by one of their favorite artists as well as original stuff.  We will be playing a song by Joy Division, one of the best bands ever.  If you have the good sense to be part of the netflix community you should add Control to your queue.

The 1st band, Rt Gentlemen, literally starts playing at 9:15 so don't be late and the rest of the night goes something like this...(order subject to last minute changes)

Rt Gentlemen

Kink Ador (playing Lady GAGA)

Daniel Ellsworth (Bob Dylan)

the Effects (led Zeppelin)

Brenn (Joy Division)

Mona (counting crows...just kidding, i don't know what they're doing)

Bravo Max (Weezer)

Taxicab Racers (Fleetwood mac)

Enjoy the flyer...it took way longer to make than it should have.

See you tonight!!

Mike “X” O’Connor

x

Origins: Saginaw, MI
Occupation: Maker of ROCK (Theory Studios/Founder)
www.myspace.com/theoryrecording
Fav Thing to drink: Mountain Dew.
Favorite genre of food: Mexican
Fav Album: Vs. Pearl Jam

Deep Thought: “I’m flicking switches right now and it’s soooooooooooooo fun”

Why this person was selected?
X was the power behind the Brenn EP Stack of Fears. Engineered, mixed, mastered, and co-produced by this man of no limits, X spent 4 months with the boys working 12-14 hour days back to back with out stopping. The band actually had to work in shifts at one point to hammer out all that he wanted to accomplish.

Beyond that he has been one of the biggest helps and encouragements to Brenn as they continue their musical Journey…

His nickname “X” comes from his college days, when he jumped from a 130ft water tower into a 12ft deep pool of water… and came out with out a scratch.
