seems lord only is popular in southeast asia (over 35k downloads in one month)...

Sign in to disble this ad
over the past two months, one of our songs, fear, has been downloaded off our webpage over 73,000 times. this has been going on for the past 2 years, steadily growing, but it took a huge leap the past few months.

pretty cool, i guess, considering nothing new has been done on the webpage music-wise since 2004. definitely not bad for the "worst band in atlanta"*

Ha, I knew nerdy prog had to be popular somewhere.

You crazy kids and your odd time signatures...


It's good to be popular somewhere, my band was like that for a while. Nobody liked us around here, but we had small fanbases throughout the world... people passing around our demo and stuff. Now, nobody likes us anywhere. Congrats John.

Try generating a large amount of interest over there and see if you can strike up a tour... suggesting your schedules allow a small tour of southeast asia.

yeah, the two guitarists quit to work on some other band, and then the one guitarist fired the other. i've worked with other folks on the lord only stuff - had some folks come in to even rerecord something things, but i haven't pursued it strenously yet. i've not been satisfied with the quality of the folks that i've been seeing, and their hubris far outmatched their abilities. -shrug-. until i can afford to hire folks, i guess i'll be stuck with what i can find, and that's not good enough for this project. -sigh. wish i knew more guitarists.

believe me dude, i would -LOVE- to tour southeast asia. the only downside i could imagine would be that once i got there i might not want to come home heh.

so anyone who knows some guitarists who can sing and are decent enough to play in odd time, send em my way.
