   About vijoy rao & the removers
******** THIS AREA IS FOR NEWS ********


Hey kids - So we've finally inked the date and venue for the National Kidney Foundation benefit concert!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 2nd AT LUCAS SCHOOL HOUSE.

We're pretty amped about it. More details to come as I figure them out. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

I'm also looking to cut another CD this summer...but I am not sure about details just yet. It will most likely be an EP of sorts...which is the cool way to say that it will have 4 or 5 tunes on it. New tunes...so that might be fun. I am not sure if it will be a band thing or a solo thing or maybe a little o' dis and a little o' dat, but we shall see. More on that soon...


'Til then, both my CDs are now available at CD Baby and on Apple iTunes so go ahead and pick them up. Please see link buttons to the left.


I hope to see you at a show soon.

It's so funny... when I randomly visit some of my favorite people's myspace pages, you always seem to have commented on their pages. You have the best taste in friends. I have said it before, and I'll say it again... if they are cool with Vijoy, they are cool with me.
Hugs!!!!
