HE GOT IT!!!!

Hey S.I.Q. fans!

   To whom do I refer in the title? None other than Phil, who got a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp head the other day! He has been wanting this for a long time, as has the rest of the band; the old Vox had a tendency to get a bit feedback-ish, and also the level knob had some issues. Basically, it occasionally gave us trouble during practice. I wanted him to have this amp as badly as he wanted it. So now, we all have our ideal equipment for where we are at as a band right now. Except for a 6 string for me. And maybe another guitar for Phil. But we're well on our way!
   So, now that no equipment shortages are holding us back, this Saturday is going to sound AWESOME. If you haven't bought a ticket to the battle, you're not too late. We still have some that are going for 12 dollars apiece. There are going to be a lot of great bands there. It is the finals after all! We will be battling the winners of all those previous.
   Who remembers the Gorilla Productions battle of the bands? You know, the last time we played at Tremont. Arguably the best show we have played (so far). That was also a qualifying round. The finals for that tournament will be February 26th. It's a long way off, but we are going ahead and starting to get it ingrained in all your personal calendars. We will be selling (and HEAVILY promoting) tickets very soon. Be on the lookout!
   One last thing, something I completely left out of my last entry. Another of the artists I'm really into right now is Andromeda. I just bought their "II=I" album. Progressive metal at its proggiest, ladies and gentlemen. Really awesome stuff.
   Hope to see you all at Tremont next Saturday! Be sure to vote for your favorite band ;)
