Hey! Hope you are doing good. I wanted to let you know about a show i'm doing in London on Sunday, June 1st. I'm touring with Tommy Allsup. He played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is the guy playing on songs like "Heartbeat", "It's So Easy", etc, etc.....he is 76 and still going strong. He is a character. Anyway, i would love to see you at the show. I think as a fellow musician that you will really appreciate seeing Tommy play, and listening to his stories! He is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. If you want to see Tommy in action....check out my blog. There is a video from last week in Nashville from the studio. Take care, the music is sounding great, and i hope to see you soon! Sincerely, Kevin Montgomery http://www. kevinmontgomery. fanbridge. com

Hey! Are the holiday shoppers driving your crazy yet??! I wanted to let you know that i'll be playing a show in London on jan. 15th at Half Moon Putney, and if you're not gigging yourself? Anyway, i have two opening acts....Shurman and Andrea Glass.....i found Andrea on myspace, and produced her record in Nashville over the summer. I think you'll dig her....http://wwww.myspace.com/andreaglassmusic Also, Al Perkins......who's played with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Gram Parsons to Emmylou Harris will once again be with me. His career is obviously on a downslide!!! Ha! I found some old clips of Al's days with Manassas and put them into this video to introduce you to Shurman and Andrea....if you get a second.....check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0u6hDmd4As Anyway, i hope you are doing well, and the music is coming along finely!!!! Hope to see you, Kevin

Hallo! Hope you're well. This is our very first auto-comment, so please excuse us =] It's about the new single so we hope you understand.

Our single "The Digerati" is out on Monday 5th November!
-Please order it by texting "F451" to 78789 - costs just £1.50, you then get a code to download it =] (UK)
-Or go to www.indiestore.com/F451 to download it for 77p (worldwide)
-You can see the amazing AphidEye Productions video for it on our front page

This is something we've been working towards as a band for a long time, so please order it - it's chart-registered and we've got a great chance of breaking the outer reaches of the chart!

Much appreciated =]

Thanks much for the add and compliments. I was made aware of your band from Pezband’s My Space site. I really like your music. There is so much phony sounding crap out there these days but I can tell you guys can write, sing and play stuff that I like.
