Hey Jordan, I knew you'd arrive here eventually. It's nice to have a band member on the forums. Really looking forward for listening to ADToE (Music Store got it late. Shame on them.).


Trust us.

Thanks for the update Jordan! I can't wait for this show! I heard the new stage will look super-cool too... much different than the stage for the Prog Nation tour?

Closing in on the first show! Rehearsals are intense but fun. The vibe is just so cool. Everybody is working hard!!
Had an interesting session with Mangini today just practicing keyboards and drums for a while. We went through some of the REALLY hard parts of songs starting very slowly and gradually increasing the tempo. What was really kind of funny is that the keyboard parts I wrote for the really proggy stuff sometimes is so contrapuntal that when there is no guitar in the mix, the way it fits with the drums is CRAZY! Anyway- once JP and JM joined us it was even more locked then ever....
Nothing like some practice to bring something together. Tomorrow we will do a dress rehearsal and then of course the next day that's it. First show.... So excited!!
