New Year's 2005 news:
We've
been called the hardest working band in Idaho, and you'd better
believe it! We've been playing acoustic gigs every day between
our electric gigs on all the other days, and between that
we've been putting the finishing touches on the upcoming acoustic
album.
We've
been playing relatively close to our home in McCall while
we finish up the recording, but we've got some tours coming
your way. We'll be in the Reno and Lake Tahoe areas in mid-late
January. Early February we'll be up in the Panhandle of Idaho,
(Moscow and Sandpoint... good times!) Then we'll be going
thru Utah and then a whole slew of gigs in Colorado; we're
kicking that leg off with back to back to back shows in Steamboat
Springs for presidents day weekend. (insert political joke
here)
Check
the website often, as new gigs are added faster than we can
play them. Also, new pictures and plenty of live mp3's are
coming soon to a monitor near you! And then maybe we'll come
out with a special extended version...
Yet
another good reason to love the internet, we are now taking
orders for Frame of Mind CD's, T-shirts, sweatshirts and the
like. We accept credit cards online, thru Paypal. Just email
us at fom@frameofmindlive.com and let us know what it is that
you really want from us.
That's
all the news I can think of at the moment. We hope all of
you are having a good holiday season.
~See
you at the show!
NEWS FOR
THE FOMILY 10-24-04
It has been awhile since the last news update so there is a lot to share with all of you.
The new album is out! The latest project, "Good Medicine," has ten brand spanking new tracks guaranteed to get your money-maker shaking. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered in the Frame of Mind's own studio, at the FOMpound. It is available on the website right this second, and at all live shows. T-shirts are available on the web too, but if you get yourself to a show you can get one there. Downloads of a few songs from "Good Medicine" are available here so check them out and if you like what you hear… send us some money.
Bruce Maurey, long time drummer and good friend, has decided to leave the band to further his career in graphic design and fine art. Lucky for us, Bruce will continue his excellent design work for Frame of Mind. We wish Bruce all the best. Fortunately Ryan Russell, who played miscellaneous percussion on "Good Medicine," was ready and willing to fill the shoes of full-time drummer and percussionist. (Even though he wears no shoes!) We are all stoked to be jamming with him.
Frame of Mind now has a crew. Nik Green, aka Stage Manager, aka Supermodel Roadie, aka SikNik is heading up the crew end of things. And, Eric Schooley, aka Sound Guy, aka Pro Roller, aka Sku Li is handling the live sound and recording. Cody Fisher, aka R&D, aka Fish, is helping with research and promos. Seredipity Dog, aka Band-Dog, aka Sere, aka "NO!" is guarding the van and keeping our lives a little more interesting. A few more mouths to feed!
Frame of Mind just returned to the FOMpound after a short fall tour of the Western half of the U.S. The Final shows and cap of the tour took place at Voodoo Fest in the Big Easy, New Orleans. Pictures of F.O.M. at the festival will soon be available here.
Two new projects are in the works and are hoped to be done soon. An almost acoustic album and a special holiday album should be available by the New Year. Keep checking the site for updates because you do not want to miss these.
There is currently an operation in progress to form Street Teams. It would consist of folks putting up fliers around their town to help advertise the up and coming shows in your area, so as to make more of a funfilled atmosphere for "the fomily". Participants will receive custom t-shirts and stickers. If you're interested, send an email to frameofmindlive@aol.com and include your mailing address so you can get our Street Team Flier Kit.
