So in the aftermath of our Hawaii tour, our band seems to have left a positive impression in Hawaii.

The first reggae song I ever wrote is a song called Jah Soldier. It was first played on Hawaiian radio about 8-months ago. Island 98.5 in Oahu aired it in a small reggae segment a few times. After coming back to Las Vegas, we've learned that Jah Soldier is now on a regular rotation on that station, and was #4 on their boomtown countdown which is voted on every day by the listeners for that segment. I'm just now finding out that it has been in the top 6 quite a few times since we got back. It's hard for me to have ever imagined that my first reggae song would be recognized and received so well. It's a great honor, and I never thought in a million years that would happen.

On a second note, our band has won a Hawaii music award for our album. Another great honor, and we're all very gracious for that as well. We're supposed to go back to Hawaii in April to accept the award.

I know I don't get on here very much these days. That's because I do work hard on our music, and so far things appear to be looking up. Good stuff.

And thanks for the congrats guys. It's been a cool experience so far being in this band. We're starting to play with more national acts these days, bigger venues, and we're recording a few more songs in April. Hopefully we can keep this thing trucking along.

Thanks a lot guys. It is a lot of work. Last year we were averaging 10-15 shows a month. This year looks to be the same (*knocks on wood*).

This just got posted on our facebook today:





Shane is an amateur MMA fighter from Hawaii. He's adopted the song title as his AKA and plays it as his introduction song. Now THAT'S really cool!! I was a wrestler myself for 13-years when I was younger. I used to listen to Metallica to get all pumped up for a match. I know exactly what it's like. So I'm extremely honored by this as well. Crazy!!

I hope I don't come across as self centered with this thread. I just couldn't resist sharing this. This is awesome to me.
