The Hal & Mal's show on the 10 of August is going to be big, with two local bands opening the show...JMB Automatic, and Dave Jenning's new band, Gumbo, as well as an excellent band out of Nashville, Common Ground.

Vince and Joey spent the last week in Nashville
working on the album with Derek
and Bryan.
Vince spent two days on guitars and emerged with a song and a half to show
for it (rapture and stay, respecively), but we are getting more and more used
to the idea that it takes a long time to create a proffesional sounding album.
There will be an amazing difference between the album we are working on, and
our Absolute Zero EP. Joey spent the remaining time working on vocals and
acoustic guitars. His lead vocal on Rapture is finished and Everyone is very
close to being finished. We are planning to return after the 15th of December
for a few days, and to hit it really hard during the first two weeks of Januaray.
Geronimo Rex will be back at the Shamrock in Monroe, LA, on Friday, December
14th. So come out and see us. Also go ahead and make plans to attend the biggest
NEW YEARS SHOW in Jackson on December 31st at Hal
and Mal's with Infinite
North and Absence
of Concern. The show last New Years was big, and this one will be even
bigger. So go ahead and mark your calenders.
