And other things I can't think of right now.
Howdy! My name is Chris and I make lots of music in my spare time.This summer, due in part to all the excitment, I made a Wizard Rock band. I have been making music for quite a bit-o-time now and it was a good long while ago when I thought about doing a concept album about a book series. Of course that was well before i had the ability to write and record songs. Not to long ago I discovered the wizard rock scene through (big surprise) Harry and the Potters, so here i am.

Yay, friend! Potterock, together with The Wirzrocklopedia, Harry Potter Events and The Wizarding Wireless Network, decided to make a wizardrock band video competition.
No, my blog was to those who are outwardly being negative. It was a hard blog to write, because so far, all of those people have been friends of mine. I feel rather like Neville. It's hard to stand up to your enemies, but so much harder to stand up to your friends.
But it's bands like you and yours that make me think wizard rock isn't completely done for. You were the first congrats I got, and I barely think we've spoken before.
Your music is fantastic, and I refuse to believe that that compliment will become a catch-22. Great music should mean great exposure. But great exposure should not mean great bigheadedness. Thanks for being awesome.
But I have to ask, just in case. Do you accept the mission? become the love you claim
I *love* your music...the latest one is great too! I've recently started a gig as a co-host for a podcast that plays nothing but wrock and was wondering if I might feature [and therefore email] your music. If you'd like to hear the podcast first, to get an idea, the eps which feature me as host are clearly marked. The show notes also include my email address should you [hopefully] decide to let me share your music. Thanks for being awesome!

Thank you, I'm still working on it I just set it up yesterday. I hope to add wrock icons and pictures, etc. for wizard wrock fans to add to their own profile. Thanks for adding me already.
Chris! Haven't seen you around for a while! How are things going?
Well, I just wanted to make sure you knew there are some rad pics of you wrocking out at my party last summer in my pics! Check them out! I got some particularly good ones! If you want any originals, let me know and I'm sure I can email them to you or just burn you a disc and meet you on the streets for a covert hand off!
Hope you're doing well! Take care!
^_^ Dinah Saur *rawr*
ps. Did you know a new band just popped up in Chico? The Weird Brothers! You should check them out! ;)
I was just going through my list of bands that I have permission from to play their music when I realized you weren't on it! If I could have your permission to play your music on future episodes of the Podcast of Awesome that would be fantastic! Thanks, ~Ashley
