first off i just wanted to wish everyone on this group a very merry christmas ,and a safe new years in advance .. this place has always felt like a second home to me . even though i haven't had alot of free time in the past few months to run on here much. this is one of the places that is very dear to heart ... for those of you that wanted me to let you guys know about my latest musical quest that i have been heavily pursuing . check out the following : i'm going on tour (what a christmas present eh??) just wanted to share that i ended up getting the tour with the band "tangerine" that i have been working with painstakingly for weeks now to get all of their songs down .. it was made official yesterday(christmas eve) that i will be hitting the road with them on the 8th. of january . here's the gig line-up so far for january : 1-08-04 C' est what - Toronto Canada 1-09-04 Rex theatre - Pittsburgh Pa. 1-11-04 The luna lounge - NYC 1-17-04 Wise fools pub - chicago 1-24-04 The Rosebud - Pittsburgh Pa. 1-29-04 Tribeca Rock club - NYC more dates are anticipated for january but that's the list so far the band has played about 70 shows this year,and did around 50 shows in only the second half of the year in 2002 . some people may have seen from some of my posts on here that i'm more of a rock drummer ,and i even play around with some jazz fusion stuff , and even though this bands music is different that what i have played in the past.. i find it very comfortable to play . anyone interested in checking out the bands website can check it out at the following : http://www.1tangerine.com/shows.html here's the page for the base of shows they have played in the last year and a half : http://www.1tangerine.com/pastshows.html tony will be updating the website soon i'm sure,but the whole band has just recently been composed of new members other than the founder/singer/songwriter/and rythym guitarist (yes this description is all the same guy) tony is the only one left from the 2003 touring line-up for the band,and has his goals set up high for doing another great year of touring with his totally new line-up in 2004 ... anyone whos interested in more details keep checking the calender on the bands website shows will be added shortly after they are booked .. and if anyone from on here is from around any of these places it would be great to see ya' at a show . i think it would be cool to meet some of my fellow drummers from on here,so if you're in the area pop down at one of the gigs .. i really hope everyone has a great christmas,and you guys ,and gals get alot of great new drum gear .. santa has been good to this drummer so far,and the day ain't over yet ... i'm not sure that anything else that could top this for me anyways ... sam(otacon28) __________________ my gear as follows: 9 peice premier kit w/shure mic kit dw 5000 double kick custom gibraltar drum rack shure t4 wireless headset system drumkat, hart multi-pad 6, combination e-drum kit w/dtxpress module , roland vs-1880 ,event monitors,alesis qs6 http://community.webshots.com/user/otacon28 http://www.freewebs.com/otacon28/
