I LOVE that the guys just can't NOT perform in some fashion, regardless of who is and isn't available. If it's anywhere near as enjoyable as the "Bermuda Triangles" debut at Higher Ground, it'll be something special. If anyone makes it out, be sure to report how it goes.

Thanks for the heads up Donna!

Judging by the "Jon's iphone pictures" gallery on their myspace:

It's tough to make out the text on the plaques but it looks like they won "Best Local Act" and "Best Album"

Congrats!

[Darek]

Just saw those as well Jeff.

Big congrats to the guys!!

[Jeff]

Yeah, we already know.. but the phoenix site is updated and there's some quick blurbs to check out as well (if you haven't already, I had been checking the site for a few days since the 15th and hadn't seen anything)

Nice, thanks for the head up Jeff.

Gotta say, if it wasn't going to be Dave, they couldn't have given Best Male Vocalist to a better dude than Pete. I hope he does big things. I still have his first CDR demo (that never actually played) kicking around somewhere.

Yep, I thought Dave had it nailed down for sure...but I agree with ya there Darek--if it can't be Dave, Pete's great too!
