Kev typing at you...
Hey, all -- this weekend will be your last chance to catch us LIVE anywhere until NEXT YEAR (yeah, yeah...I know that's only like a couple of weeks away, but I couldn't help tossing out that lame, jokey line).
We'll be dishin' out the tunes for your enjoyment on Friday (12/21) at The Roadhouse on Lansing Ave. in Jackson. Come early for the awesome fish fry! Wash it down with a frothy, cold Heiferweisen (sp???) beer! Alex and his great staff are the best! We'll be looking for you!
Saturday (12/22) lands us in downtown Jackson at Veach's Office Bar where the good times are always flowing a-plenty! The wonderful staff there wants nothing more than for you to have the best of time, and heck, the band wants that very same thing! So please, please, please come out and party with us, will ya?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
Address info for these great venues can be found at our 6 Hands Down website. Go there! Google it! Set your GPS, hit the auto pilot button and we'll see you this weekend!!!

Quiet Weekend
Kev types...
WE'RE NOT ANYWHERE: Yep. Looks like we've got ourselves one of those odd, quiet weekends in 6 Hands Down Land where our schedule finds us gig-less on a Friday and Saturday night. Oh well, that's how the musical PB&J sandwich lands sometimes -- face down. But just because we're not playin' live anywhere this weekend, that doesn't mean we won't be keeping ourselves busy.
HAMBONE TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS: Rex is hittin' the streets hard this weekend with band promo in hand trying to spread the 6HD word to venues out there that we haven't had the opportunity to play at as of yet. Go get 'em, Rex!
LATEST ON THE NEW CD: I'll be burried in the deep recesses of Burning Pine studios laying down track after track of what will soon be our 2nd full length CD. It's coming together very, very nicely and we certainly can't wait to get it into your hands so that you can hear it.
When exactly is it gonna be done, you ask? SOON! And I really mean that this time! Drum and bass tracks are completely done. Guitar and keyboard tracks are about 3/4 of the way done. Lead vocal tracks should get done this weekend. After that it'll be backing vocals and track touch ups followed by final mixing and mastering. The light is indeed at the end of the tunnel and I can see it more clearly with each passing hour in the studio.
1,500 SEATS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM: Here's something very cool on the horizon. Last night we had a chance to meet with a representative of Jackson's Michigan Theater about playing a concert there in early 2008. The Michigan is a huge and historic venue that offers incredible possibilities live music-wise. The concept is still in the "sketch" phase, but from the looks of how our meeting went, this thing is gonna definitely happen and it's gonna promise to be an awesome experience for all of us! Stay tuned for more on this as it develops.
See you all soon!

Where were you?
This is Kev typing at you all asking, "Where the heck were ya?"
As much as me and the guys LOVE playin' our music wherever and whenever we can -- we sure prefer doing it in front of a crowd. But, alas, last weekend's gigs at The Onondaga Tavern were a bit slim in the "fun, rowdy crowd staring back at us" department.
But that's OK -- our love for you all remains beyond unconditional!
So we can forgive you for losing track of time at the mall on your post-Thanksgiving shopping sprees or proping yourself on your couch eating leftover turkey while you watched some quadruple overtime college football excitement -- it's all good. We totally understand that the holiday season can be chock-full of events and commitments that always seem to consume 26 hours of a 24 hour day, we simply wanna make sure that you all know how much WE MISS YOU when you don't show up at our shows! We can't wait to see you all again real soon!
That said, please have a wonderful and safe holiday season and remember to get out and see us when you can!
Peace...Love...Music!

Saturday night at the Green Door
Hey, all -- Kev checking in here to let you all know that the guys and I are counting the minutes (in 4/4 time) until we hit the stage at Lansing's one and only Green Door tomorrow night!
You'll be there, right? You're gonna bring a pile of friends, right? What? You wanna buy Rex a shot of something tastey? Well, heck...be my guest!
Bottom line, dear friends -- we can't even come close to having a good time unless you plan on being there. So, hire a sitter, hail a cab, parachute in...we'll see you there!

Welcome!
Hi, everybody -- Kev here checking in with you from the all new 6 Hands Down Blog. This is just one more place for you to be able to keep up with us, and help us keep up with you.
Unlike our other 2 web sites -- www.6handsdown.com and www.sonicbids.com/6handsdown -- which, hopefully, you all find useful in keeping up with our performance calendar, I'm hoping that this site becomes one that allows for a greater degree of interaction between US and YOU!
Looking forward to good times, as always!
Cheers!
