biograpahy
What is a bio but an over-glamorized self-exalting pseudo-history of a band? Basically, bios are typically meaningless exercises in hyperbole. And as our number of records released continues to grow (5) and our number of shows played exceeds what we ever thought we could do (500+), talking about the experience becomes impossible in short bio form. Adding to this the fact that our creation story is quite long, complicated, and over-told the bio writing experience becomes an unwanted one. What you need to know about engaged can be found in our mission statement, everything else is insignificant. You could wake to find tomorrow morning cold, and in the same way you could wake to find that engaged is no longer the definitive two man acoustic screamfest, but that we have evolved into a bluegrass group. Engaged is defined by purpose, not product. We are not special or glamorous; we are not bio material.
engaged exists to proclaim the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. we are not jerks, we lack a horse to be high on, we are broken sinners being repaired by the hands of the Living God. we are becoming sons unto Him not by our merit but by His oceanic grace. the truth of Jesus Christ is not something one can accept and ignore. either Jesus is who He says He was, and we would be remiss to look the other way; or, He is just a man and we would be remiss to allow anyone to commit their lives to following Him. engaged asks you to carefully consider your answer to the all defining question: who is Jesus?
Although you scared everyone away from the "real" show, I really enjoyed your company during your record stay in Oregon. I'm going to really miss you. Hopefully I will make it out to see you for a change.
Thanks for staying over so late and playing Pixel Junk Monsters. Have fun with your lack of sleep.
Also, you left Kev's bunny bubbles here. Call me if you want to do lunch before you do your disappearing act.
hey man, you did an awesome job tonight! i wish i had the chance to see you in concert more often. i got some pictures that you might like. if you want some new ones for your page just message me or something and i can probably e-mail them to you.
Hiee! I am excited to get home (where my compy has speakers) and listen to the demo! Hoping all is well with you and yours. Happy Leif Erikson Day. Peace, Jen
Hey Guys!! What's happening?? Not a lot here, just school and stuff. It's been a long time, so I figured I would stop by and see how things were going, and to see if you were planning on coming to Iowa anytime soon. I hope all is well!!
