So with the most recent Houston Press article by John Lomax, I found myself extremely irritated and inspired at the same time. I feel like I'm one of those few remaining musicians that believe that as long as I keep at it with the promo,the good attitude,and desire and work ethic to create good music and put on a good show you CAN and WILL eventually "make it".I also believe in genre blending hence the inspiration for the upcoming "Leave Your Genre at the Door" event that I have been in everyone's ass about the past few weeks.It just kinda sucks as an artist when you put in loads of work and it continues to go unnoticed but it still serves as the leading fuel to the fire for many to continue to strive for that recognition.

Ahhhhh I don't want to read anymore articles by people complaining about how weak the scene is if they are doing nothing to help it.I'm making my attempt by not only doing this show on August 1st but by continuing to go out and hear unknown bands as well as still paying to see my friends perform that I see all the time. I'm also in the process of working on making all my shows more of an event and focusing more on the production of my music rather than just putting something out there just so I can say I have something out there.Be prepared for a big change from this local artist...great things ahead....
