Flatfoot / Winter X Games

First off, Flatfoot 56 is going back into the studio. Heading to Absolute Sound in Houston, Texas on February, they will be working on their third studio album. The catch in all of this, is that they are no longer with Flicker Records. It's sad really. Who doesn't want a Celtic Punk band on their roster of artists? I am sure these guys will get signed, but for now they are working independently.

They are still keeping the website up to date, so if you want more details, just click here

Next, we have the Winter X Games and because Thousand Foot Krutch and Fireflight won Taco Bell's Feed The Beat contest, they are getting gigs that they could not before. So when Taco Bell got a stage at the games, they had to put these guys on there. Videos below of them playing in the snow





That's all for this week

Fireflight + Winter X Games??

I am not very shy when talking about what bands float my boat, and one of them is Fireflight. I am not sure I can explain my love for these guys, but you have been living under a rock for these past years make sure to take a listen to them over at their myspace (link)

Back on to my original topic. On Friday, these guys shall be preforming at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. It goes down at 4:30 (their time), and they are playing on the Taco Bell stage. I am not sure if this is on TV or not, but you can catch the games on ESPN and on ABC.

Showbread & Mario

To start off, word is that after Josh Dies comes off his solo acoustic tour, Showbread will start recording new material. They want to have a new album out around the summer. Seems a little fast to me. It was just last year that they gave us TWO albums (Anorexia & Nervosa), are we ready for another one? Looking up on the wiki, apparently this new album will be called "The Fear of God" but take that with a grain of salt.

Now, this is COMPLETELY random, but I was just looking around the net for kicks and giggles, and did I find a gem of a movie. Check this out...

Branching from Showbread

For a while, I have been talking about how Josh Dies is doing his own solo acoustic thing on the side. This weekend starts his own little tour. This guy is a man of many talents. Lead singer of Showbread, Solo Career, AND has his own children's book called "The Insect". Talk about diversifying. So on this tour, he is going to have on sale his book, his solo CD, and the live DVD of Showbread called "How Showbread Ruined My Life"
