Had a GREAT time at our gig!!

Glad to see many of our friends come out to the show at  ‘The Ten Eleven’. We had a ‘fill-in’ drummer Ryan Gonzales from the band Mount Sherpa which ironically played right after us! We all just had a great time!IMG_8340water

Our friend Andrew Christian of ‘Down The Rabbit Hole’ Photography came by and took a few pictures…very nice! Thanks a million! We also tried some new merch ideas. Fern’s wife has a business called ‘Amber’s Organics’she makes organic health and beauty products by hand. She has a line of body soap bars that she brought and everyone loved them. They were such a hit that she is going to custom make ‘Heat of the Sun’ bar soap and “YOU” get to have a say in it. Just message us on Facebook. or in the comment section below and tell us what kinds of ‘smelly herbs’ you like for example Jasmin and Thyme, Rosemary etc. She will custom make those up for our next gig. They are all natural ingredients vegan friendly no animal products or testing. Very good stuff!

HOTSamberorganicssoapphoto(8)We also had our new tee-shirts and sold several thanks to everyone who picked one up. Our next big goal is release of our EP, so we can have CD’s on our merch table as well. We’ll keep everyone posted and will definitely have a great time!!!

Our guitar player’s (Fern) wife has been in the organic business for a long time, and has made some custom bar soap for Heat of the Sun called “Rockin’ Rosemary”. Which is very cool- we been using it and considering having it on hand at shows on the merch table.

SXSW 2014, and band update.

Hey, Allen here. Jordan our drummer was in town for the spring break. I worked my reg gig as a freelance sound guy in TV with E! Entertainment during the Film portion of SXSW 2014. Then Jordan and I went up to Austin to catch the scene. I went to a few sessions on ‘Touring  on a budget’ and ‘DIY Silk Screening’. Caught a few bands and had a good time. One of my high lights was at the ‘Flatstock’ art show. I’m always looking for art for future album and poster art. Ran across Buzzo from The Melvins and John Dyer Baizley guitarist for Baroness, and my favorite artist. I love his art work. Hope to feature his art on one of our covers! I know we are still in the mist of releasing our EP, but we are always looking forward!
