OPEN LETTER TO TFKD FANS:
Hello Everyone,
This is Frankie from Terrific Kid. As some of you already know, we have had a lot of highs and lows in the past couple of years. We went to New York (high), played with a bunch of bands that we've always looked up to (high), had to turn down record contracts that had too many demands (low), met one of the Beatles (very high), changed a few members (low), received various stitches, broken bones, love letters, bad haircuts, death threats, new born babies, unwanted publicity, unneeded criticism, etc., etc., etc......
My point, I guess, is this: We're still here. We still love everyone of you. We don't have fans, we have friends. There's always going to be different versions of what happened to this line-up or that line-up. Choose the version that you enjoy most, and run with it. At the end of the day it comes down to this...
Terrific Kid has been a sinking ship since it's conception four years ago. We've always allowed members to come and go in different stages of their lives. This is nothing new. TFKD has had well over a dozen members and counting. No hard feelings, no ill will, not one of those guys ever bitched out. They all left with their head held high. There's a lot of pride inside this band, there's nothing wrong with being sure of what you are doing. We are NOT SIGNED because we have chosen not to be. It is by choice, we have yet to see a contract that we liked. We WILL NOT sell ourselves out to some company that we do not trust. (No pun intended). ANY BAND can get signed to some label. You could start a record company tomorrow, go buy a business license. They cost about twenty bucks. Getting signed doesn't mean anything if the record company will not uphold it's end of the deal. Ask Still Naive, they were ROYALLY SCREWED by the suits at Maverick. Everyone was so excited when they heard about them getting signed, but then they were tossed on the back burner by Maverick. Basically forced to sit on their own hands until the band was dismantled. Maverick OWNED Still Naive, but chose to do nothing with them. They are STILL BETTER than most of shit that you hear on the radio. That shit happens EVERY DAY. So don't worry so much about TFKD remaining unaffiliated with a major label. It doesn't define us at all. It's not a reference by which to measure a band's success. Any band...
I say that to say this...
TJ and myself just woke up one day (not together of course)and decided that we have nothing left to prove. THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED WRITING THE BEST MUSIC OF OUR CAREERS. We have let the business cloud our purpose. Most of you connect with us through the music we write. That's the only common bond between most of us. We started taking that for granted, and it almost ate this band alive. We're lucky to still be together, and we're blessed to still have friends like you...caring.
We will be filming our new video on New Year's Eve @ The Belmont in Pensacola, Fl. It's more of a huge party than it is a show. We picked three other bands from our area that are at the top of their game. There's no filler. EndingsEdge, Awaiting Death, and Among Them. These bands are looking FORWARD to playing this show. There's no rivalry. These bands help define this area. It's all mutual respect, all four bands are playing for free, BY REQUEST, to keep it cheap for you. The club is asking three bucks a head just to pay the bills. That's fair enough. It is all ages. It starts at 8pm. with Among Them taking the stage. I personally do not CARE if you live 100 miles away. Terrific Kid has driven that far for you, or you wouldn't know who we are. We've booked a party for new year's eve FOR YOU!!! Why wouldn't you come?
Because it is a special night, we will be filming for our new video. If you are there, you WILL be in the video. The video we are filming is for one of the many songs that you have yet to hear from us. We are sure that most of you will follow us in our new direction. We have been writing music with no preconceived notions this time. We honestly turned our amps on and played what we truly FELT. The weight of our hearts are in these new songs. I hope that you like them...
