Rest in Peace Andy Gibson
I would like to send my sincere condolences to Andy's family and friends. Andy Gibson passed away on May 11th. If you
have read my bio section, or know me in any way, you know how much of an influence Andy has been on me as a guitarist, musician
and person. This truly comes as a surprise, and I will miss him greatly.

Playlist Reporting!
I have added this section right over there----->
This is part of what I do for WLOY as the Metal Director. Each week I add five albums to our metal and loud rock rotation
that are given to us from all of the major metal and hard rock labels. I also send out our top ten charts which are basically
a top ten of all of the new stuff we are playing on our metal shows at WLOY for the week. So this section will be updated
every Tuesday every week! Tune in Thursday nights for my and Jon Prozzi's radio show Air Guitar Alchemy to hear some of these
and lots more ass kicking metal! Plus we have tons of giveaways!
The best listening is at www.wloy.com, because it is a very powerful stream and you can get it everywhere, as opposed to our 1620AM broadcast which is kinda weak! !Update!
Thanks to everyoe who came out to the shows this week. The show in Snow Hill kicked ass, and on Wednesday the gig with
Full Frontal was equally awesome! I had to skip out early to make it down to Jaxx to catch Sonata Arctica for their first
American show ever! It was awesome! I got a chance to meet Tony Kakko(vocals) and Tommy Portimo(drums) before the show. No
new shows to speak of yet...but most likely there will be a few more Full Frontal gigs before the end of April, and the Black
Stone Falls schedule is not in yet either! I record vocals for them on Sunday..Woo Hoo!
Show this Saturday! If you are in the Salisbury area, or feel like making a small trip Saturday evening. Come on out
to the Snow Hill High School! I'll be playing with Black Stone Falls for a hometown gig. Should be a fun show. If you wanna
come just give a call and I'll get you directions. (410)617-3736. more shows to come, we are in the process of booking a huge
amount of shows for the summer, and even the distant fall, so stay Tuned
More Shows, and updated history stuff, about me...now you can see why I like all of those albums so much! Find
something to argue with me about!!!
We are working on a few more Black Stone Falls gigs, the Snow Hill one is on, hopefully a few for April/May on the shore,
and then who knows.
-Shows are being booked for the next weeks up here in Baltimore with Full Frontal/Alpha Surfauri.
Full Frontal is actually playing a fashion show I think, so we should have some fun with that. Alpha surfauri is scheduled
to play at an out door 'beach party' as well. There should be a few more Full Frontal dates for April/May.
In other Full Frontal News
-And thank you to everyone that came out to the show Sunday when we opened for Toots and the Maytals at WLOY's anniversary

tracks Sunday and we are finished with them. Next I guess either rythym guitar or bass....who knows..I just wait till they
tell me to play or sing. Anyway, check back here or http://bsfmetal.com whenever our webmaster updates the site for any new info. Also Full House are going to be playing two
gigs in the near future up here in Baltimore so stay tuned.

Hell Yea! My Computer Works!
Back to School, and Biography
I added a pretty hefty bio in the 'band history' along with some of my crucial albums. Go check it out, so you will at
least have something to poke fun at me with in the future ;)
So Now I'm back at school, and my computer still does not work. It should be ready in a few days, I'll add some new files
then. As for news:
-I am going to start recording with Black Stone Falls on January 30th for our upcoming album. Shows in late winter/early
spring.
-The Largemouth Basstards and I recorded a four song session over the holidays including the tracks, Twins, Girls of Summer,
Shorty, and Dreamy Girl. Look for that cd sometime soon. Shows in early summer.
-Rick and Kevin and I have been hard at work writing songs for Evel Nad and the Fetal Pigs. The plan for the immediate
future is to finish off a huge batch of songs, demo them, get the full band together, play a few shows(spring/summer) record
8-10 track album(summer). Jon Prozzi(dust numeral/level 3 necromancer/full house) will probably be on board as our
bassist or drummer either one..i dont know yet.
-Ever the prolific ones, Dark Harvest recorded a total of three albums over the break, plus a few misc. session, check
the site for more news. The titles for the albums: Psalm 666: Prelude to a Christmas with Charles Manson. Most People are
not comfortable Flying Commercially with Satan. and Reach for the Heavens, Plunge to the Depths.
!Bass Player Wanted!
Jon Prozzi and I are looking for a bass player for a new project of ours, Get in touch with me if you wanna play, it will
be fast and heavy.
Expungo now has a Purevolume site! Granted nothing new has been written or recorded in more than 3 years.
Check out some of our old demos, and hope we get together in the near future! http://purevolume.com/expungo or go to the Media Section of my site!
Thanksgiving break for a week.
Ill be home for Thanksgiving for the better part of next week. hopefully this will be relaxing but given my recent schedule
I'm sure there will be plenty of band practices and other obligations. Oh well...Happy Thanksgiving to all!
!Added a gallery for my artwork in the gallery section!
!!!!!!!!!SATAN'S TRAMPOLINE!!!!!!!! Organized Media Section!
Added Photos in Gallery Section!!
I just finished editing together some clips to make up the music video for Satan's Trampoline, off of the Dark Harvest
"Gimme a ride.." album. You can find the video on the Darkharvest website, or in the media section here. I may change it later, I have just been having fun doing this thing, instead of
studying and all the work I really need to be doing. Oh well, Hope you enjoy!!!
FROSTBURG SHOW!
Saturday's (Nov.13th) show out in Frostburg went really well. We(Black Stone Falls) played a short set, only 5 songs
:( but the crowd response was excellent! I'll put some pictures up soon, but not many, because there will
be plenty on the BSF homepage( www.bsfmetal.com) . So..the sound was good, crowd was good, and we used a new backdrop with the BSF logo on it made by your's
truly and John Kline( a friend of mine from Loyola). Sunday night Dori and Jon and I went to the Children of Bodom show
in DC at the 930 club. The show was awesome and we ended up meeting Alexi Laiho and Jaska Raatikainen after the
show, I only wish I had brought a camera or something...oh well next time ; ) . So all in all it was a pretty
hectic and busy weekend but we kicked a lot of ass and drove all over Maryland. Come out to the SSPP Battle of the
Bands in Easton on Saturday the 20th(next week) becuase Dark Harvest most likely will be performing our first
concert(after this summer's whirlwind of 5 albums and one cancelled show). I think I also may be hopping
up onstage to play with my brother's band on a classic metal song, to be determined....So come on out!
ADDED NEW AIR GUITAR ALCHEMY PICS
Last Night's Ar Guitar Alchemy was some good clean fun, and John Celso joined us on the air, expect him to be back!
