Album #2 - The Disparrows

It's a New Year - we all survived the most epic, disastrous Armageddon in all history with the Mayan Apocalypse; We do have to worry about Asteroid 2012 DA14 which will sweep the Earth at a mere 21,000 miles on Feb. 15 2013 - however - the good news is that The Disparrows go into the studio Feb 8-10!
So, even if those hack MIT mathematicians  screwed up a few calculations and 2012 DA14 does crush the Earth and all of Humanity; The Disparrows tracks will still be recorded and preserved for future generations.
We are very excited to be working with Blake Paulson on drums. We will have Ken Wallace on the board and producing. Needless to say, we have built a strong team, put in every ounce of energy available - as of today we are still doing last minute pre-production, and will continue thru Feb. 4 working on loose ends.

The Disparrows - 2012.

Ok. I'm back. Schwarzenegger style, from the original Terminator. Its been a long year, and The Disparrows are showing it. We got a new album written & mostly arranged. We have already jammed with Blake Paulson as a possible for the drums (awesome drummer - very highly recommended) and we got one more drummer we will check out - the one and only Dave Krusen.  He will be jamming with us in late November.
We will pick a drummer, at this point it is not a talent question, the quality of guys coming in are beyond good, beyond question; they are great, phenomenal drummers. At this point it is a question of chemistry with three guys that are very good friends, very close musicians, and have been around each other for many hours in the studio and days on the road.  It is tough for a drummer to walk into a room with a band that has inside jokes, been playing the same songs for many months, worked out small quirky parts of the songs - crazy thing, these guys are so good, they pull it off with a surprising degree of success!

More on this as it goes on, we are very excited to jam with Dave - he is an epic drummer with an amazing, great reputation.

We are also going to start a Web series, filming the whole process of recording the album and releasing it weekly on Youtube - The Disparrows.

We are working hard on endorsements for the band. We just picked up American Made Outlaw, and are working a few more, stay posted!

We have alot going on, we are excited to move forward; we are excited to get this album recorded - It is a great style of American Rock n Roll!

Stay Tuned,
We promise to be here more talking about what is going on!
Feel free to email or contact us with any questions, we love to hear from you!

Fans

        In the whole mix & craziness of writing music, playing music,
recording and releasing albums, traveling & touring, it is often forgotten why we do it.
Well, I digress, as a musician and artist, we do it because we love it. We in the Disparrows can truly claim that show or no show, band or no band, each of us would sit home and play music. I know a lot of musicians with this same attitude, I am proud to know these guys (and girls) - people that do it for the love of art and sound. I was once told that I have a disease called Rock n' Roll because hell or high-water I always would play my guitar at least once a day - I'd walk by pick it up, play for a bit, then move on or sit and play for hours while others watched TV.

Enough rambling! So - you wonder - what was my point?
(and I often wonder this myself, as done my band). My point was that the fans are the reason we do what we do.
Without fans, there are no shows, there are no tours, there are no album sales, and all we are is a bunch of guys playing music in our studio.

     The Disparrows, all though in the bigger picture, a small, new band with great aspirations (which we will achieve) has been blessed with some great fans. I see bands take fans for granted all the time. Bands forget without the fans they are home playing for themself. Without the fans they are nothing as a band. Without the fans telling a friend, playing a song for a buddy, making your music their sex music, or party song, or driving music, we are nothing as a commercial product.

That being said, with all the support we have received, the comments, posting our links and videos and photos on other sites and blogs and helping us share our music with the world, Thank you.
We cannot get where we want to go with out our fans and friends, and some very dedicated ones at that!

One day when we are out on the road, all of you that are here now, you will be remembered,
and, to the best of our ability, thanked in whatever way we can!

So thank you, and please keep posting our links and photos and songs and videos wherever you can.
Keep sharing our music with everyone you can. And we will keep pouring our heart and soul into creating great music.
We currently have a second album in pre-production with a lot of great new ideas coming from Mike, Grant, Dirrty & myself.

We are very excited to get this music out and make audio love to all of you (in the platonic sense)!
