   About The Awkward Stage
Youth was a war. Youth crushed me. All I could do was play music and goof off to cope. The Awkward Stage came to me in the silence that occurred during the third dunk of my head into the jr. high toilet. Don't get me wrong, I did my share of dunking too. Which is far more shameful to me. They are honest pop songs. They are pleasant and accessible yet manage to interest and surprise. You may not like every thing I will do, but I promise it will always come from the right place. Sincerely, Shane Nelken (The Awkward Stage)

Hey Shane. Glad to hear that you're heading to these parts with Carl Newman. That offer of my sofa still stands but no doubt Mr Big Rock Star is putting you guys up in fancier establishments. See you at The Luminaire! Mark

Dudes!
Thanks a lot for the cd you guys gave me in Windsor - it hasn't left my cd player in the car, absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you guys again when you're in town.
PS: Volge is undergoing a lot of changes, hopefully it will all be done within the next few months. I'll keep you guys posted.

Much love and respect from Windsor ON, keep rocking!

Hey, thanks for the add.

We're a couple of "blossoming" musicians and would love the criticism of seasoned artists.

Check us out and let us know what you think.

p.s. Anime Eyes is the greatest song name ever.
