Cool Song/Riff of the Week – #1

Hey folks. Here’s something new and cool we’re going to try – it’s called the “Cool Song/Riff of the Week” – and with it we’ll be letting you in on our ever expanding list of influences by opening up our world to you with what we think is cool in music. We’ll be posting songs from our favorite albums and artists, right here for your enjoyment each week, and with it you’ll not only here some killer tunes, but also gain some insight into what makes us tick – or at least what makes us Life Stage.

This week, we have to start this category with probably the most influential band (and one of the best bands) of our genre – Dream Theater. While we certainly have a broad list of influences, Dream Theater is a great place to get the conversation started. And what better way to do that than with a song known for one of the coolest riffs of all time – The Dark Eternal Night. This comes from their 9th studio effort, Systematic Chaos, and while the album as a whole isn’t our favorite, this song really gets the blood flowing. John Petrucci, you have quite possibly annihilated the entire human race with one freakin’ sweet riff – Kudos.

Here it is. Dream Theater – The Dark Eternal Night. Enjoy, and let us know what you think below.

Welcome to the Re-Launch of our Blog!

We know we’ve been away too long, but sometimes good things just take time! This is why we’ve waited to re-launch our blog, and why we’re now more excited than ever about what’s to come – we simply wanted to make sure everything was in place!

So what are we talking about here? Well, first and foremost – we’re working on a new album. Most of you may already know this much, and we sent a few of you who are on our fan list an email a couple of weeks ago, detailing exactly what’s going on. Plus, you may remember from late last year, before we took a blogging hiatus, we were talking about the new studio that was being built above our old practice facilities – well now that studio is complete, and we have finally begun tracking what’s looking like a grand total of 10 completely new songs. More to come on that in the coming weeks, including a video update or two, so check in when you can.

Another topic worthy of a re-launch post, is that along with our upcoming release (which we can’t tell you the exact date yet, but think summer), we’ll be doing some cool new stuff to interact with our fans, and be more engaged here on the web. And we know you’re thinking, you guys have fans?, but yes, we do have at least 5 good fans, and we’re going to work hard to connect with them as much as possible. In fact, we’ll be blogging more, social webbing more, sharing more, and we’ll even be rolling out a forum here pretty soon – so get ready to chat us up with your comments and stern disapproval!

Finally, we have a few words to say about this moment in time, the right here and now. If you’re reading this, we think you’re cool. AND, if you’re reading this, know that you’ll be able to look back in a couple of years (when we’re all the way up to 25-30 fans), and say, yeah I supported those guys before they made it big! HA. We laugh and mostly cry at the thought of ever “making it big”, but on sort of a serious note, we truly believe that right now is a moment in history for us. We’re on the verge of releasing our second album, and our first full length record. We have over 2 years, the making of our last album, and tons of other crazy events that have contributed to our experience and maturity as a band. And most importantly, we know now, more than ever, exactly what we are going for as a band – and that includes our music, niche, appeal, and even our look. We may not be a trendy band, but our confidence is unshaken, and in fact is now stronger than ever as we face the biggest moment in our short existence thus far – and we couldn’t be more excited. Hang with us as we make the journey through this year, and chime in every step of the way; it’s gonna be a great year!

Look for more posts very soon.
