1/17/2000 - I found a thing about "The Distance" that I thought
was pretty cool, on a site that lists what looks like damn near everything
in the known universe about music that is out there in the world. I don't
know how they found the CD but it all seems to be there and it looks correct.
Anyway, you should drop
by and give a review there, it's easy and it might be fun to see who
they compare us to. And check out the links on me, it doesn't cover everything,
but it's kinda cool to check out what they do have.......
1/12/2000 - We have been chosen as one of the "Top
10 Bands of the Year" at BandRadio.
If you go by there, you could even vote for us, we'd love to get goodies!!
12/6/99 - We have been reviewed by BandRadio,
an independent musician's resource site. Very nice review, as well as
a very cool site for indie musician's info......
11/30/99 - We are cruising along with the new CD, I think it will be
finished in the area of late Feb - early March. Things are sounding really
good in the home studio scene, though it's a little wierd having your
living room full of drums and mics and wires and crazed musicians, (well
ok - that last part's not that wierd). This CD sounds like it will be
a little bit more song oriented than "The
Distance" but it's still gonna rock as well. We'll be putting
up a few samples to check out as it becomes fleshed out....
10/18/99 - We have given permission to use one of our songs, "Rainbows"
on a compilation CD. The proceeds from the CD will benefit both a little
girl who has a brain tumor, and a Children's Hospital in Toronto. We hope
you will have a look at http://www.tinman.org/adored
and see of you think you might be able to snatch up a cd. We think of
it as making a deposit into the "Human Bank".
10/7/99 - Hi all! We have entered ourselves in this http://www.garageband.com
contest for a $250,000.00 record deal. Now, I know that most of the time
these things are rigged but, we've won a couple of these things before
and we'll win some more again. The site was co-founded by Jerry Harrison
of "Talking Heads" fame, maybe that's a good thing. So if you feel like
getting involved, here's what they sent me......
"Congratulations, STILL is currently being reviewed by musicians, fans
and pro producers from around the world at garageband.com and is in the
running to earn a $250,000 recording deal. The band that refers the most
fans to garageband.com will win a fairly spectacular prize (no, really.
Even we're still amazed). Check out the 'Reward Points' section of the
site for more details. With this in mind, you may want to forward this
address, http://www.garageband.com/music/profile/song.html?song_id=916,
to your fans. Click on this URL and they'll go straight to the 'The Distance'
profile page at garageband.com.
If, after checking out your stuff, they decide to register - mentioning
STILL as the group who referred them - and then review at least two randomly
selected songs, STILL just got one step closer to winning the prize."
Now this contest is not about being able to get people to their site,
that's a different payoff that we may or may not win, and frankly don't
care much about. But seeing as how we're starting the new CD recording
process literally this week, the timing is great for the possible recording
sessions. We could use a few good days in a really good studio, it would
move things along quite nicely thank you. So if you get a minute, have
a look, you'll be helping us out and we appreciate that immensely. We
wouldn't have won the other ones without you so, have a whack at it?
BTW, we are a featured band on http://www.artistlaunch.com
. These guys have picked up a few of our songs and are playing them on
most of their shows over the net. You'll need WINAMP on PC, and MACAST
on the MAC to hear these shows, but they use streaming mp3 audio and it
sounds pretty dang good I gotta admit. Try http://www.download.com
for those programs.
Ok too much typing, getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome now, better go...keep
in touch eh? P.S. - Thanx to everybody helping out with the posters and
spreading the word, it's showing on the site stats, and more people are
becoming aware of us every day.......
9/13/99 - This is a good one! We are going to be featured on a nationally
syndicated radio show! Ellen
K. has a weekly show across the country called "Future
Tracks". I'm not sure if it's the whole show or if it's just
a feature, but in any case, they will be playing some of our music on
the show. Locally here in L.A. it airs on KIISFM
102.7FM from 10:00pm - 11:00pm on Sundays. The show we are on airs on
Sept 26th. There is a possibility that I will go on air with her but that
is not certain. I want to thank our friend Lynn S. for the great tip that
led to this happening, I can't say enough about how much help our friends
who believe in us have been.
9/1/99 - Back from Cambria! Thanx to all our friends who came up to see
us and hang out, what a great place to spend time.
Eric did an amazing job on drums, learning all our songs and more to
boot in 4 days with 2 rehearsals. My hero. We all did a prodigious amount
of drinking and reveling and had a generally great time.
A great musician named Jay Graydon, who has played on a million records
and CD's, came in and jumped up onstage with us. That was a treat for
all of us, because although many of the listening public may not know
who he is by name, musicians definitely do, and it was really fun for
us.
MORE NEWS TODAY...
We have been asked to be on Cyberadio's
"Break a Leg" show with Lewis from Cyberradio.
That show will air live from 4-5pm Thursday, Sept. 30 Pacific time. We
will talking and playing cuts from "The Distance". Cyberradio
is an Internet based Radio and TV network that presents many different
kinds of programming, with a slant towards entertainment oriented shows.

8/27/99 - Eric Eldenius will be playing with us for a bit. Eric comes
from the same country as Michael Martinsonn (Guitar) - Sweden. Pretty
soon we'll writing in Swedish eh? Eric is a very good player who brings
a different approach to the music and we're finding it to be a lot of
fun. He's a very enthusiastic and easy-going fellow and that is also turning
out to be refreshing. We think you'll like him at the live shows, and
we will probably be having him play on some of our new CD, which is in
the works as I write this.
7/22/99 - Well here's the new site - whadda ya think? We are trying to
make it as easy to use as possible so if you have suggestions
feel free.
You may have noticed that we have taken to adding the "registered"
symbol next to our logo. Unbelievably, there was another band out there
named STILL who would not let go of the name. They were really jerks about
it so we had to get a lawyer after them and everything. No fun. So now
we have to pay attention to all this legal stuff or someone could come
along and rip off the name, and that would suck. Oh well.....
6/2/99 - It looks like we won the "Top Trax" competition at
Musicosm.com recently.

will lead to
a change in our government's policies on.... no wait -
We hope that this will mean a change in the music industry........uh.......

it several times.
The one time we know of is 3:30 - 4:30 pm Saturday, June 6th. ESPN is
also showing it,

it was, so it's not as cool.........
