A Note From Carl
Yo, just wanted to say thanks for the radio stations who've been doing promo work with us this past week. Rock 108 (http://www.rock108.com/) had “Roadie for a Day” in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Tracy was the … ugh … “lucky” winner … if you consider carrying gear up and down snowy stairs lucky. She was great and really helped all day as well as did some guitar handoffs during the show. Thanks to Rock 108 and Tracy. You guys were great. Also, we just played Austin's Fuel Room (http://www.austinsaloon.com) in Libertyville, Illinois where they, along with 95 Will Rock (http://www.95wiilrock.com/) did a promotion when we were trying to find a new lead singer where they held their own auditions and sent the winner to LA for us to hear. The winning contestant they sent was really a contender as well. Also, they held a sound check party with us and we had fun with the winners as we let them come up on stage and play drums and guitar and whatever they wanted to do during soundcheck. It was a cool time. Thanks as well to Steve from Will Rock and Mark the owner of Austin's for being so gracious to us.

video: Toryn Sings National Anthem
Bell's View in Baltimore

It's a cold November night in Baltimore. Outside, people are bustling as they are going out to dinner or shopping in one of the many places alongside Baltimore Harbor. Just a block away within the Power Station Live complex in Ram's Head Live, Fuel finishes up their dinner in the cozy confines of their backstage room. Still a couple hours before they headline the night's show, guitarist and mastermind Carl Bell and I are sitting comfortably on a leather couch watching a Russian television special. We watch as this guy tosses a bowl of boiling water in the air. The -35 degree temperature is turning the water into mist and falls like snow. Written by The Asif - Read More

Yo, how is everyone?
Hope you all caught the LA Ink show, and Toryn is set to sing the National Anthem for NASCAR. The tour has been going great as well. If you haven't caught a show, check the websites and find one in your area. New dates are being added constantly. Just played a festival in Houston with Chris Cornell and he and the band were amazing. I sat out front the entire show and was blown away. Chris didn't shy away from any notes and was spot on. I was watching the band and thinking how good they were, and later at a party backstage, ran into the guitar player. It was Yogi, from old Buckcherry days. We reminisced about past touring days and was great to see him. He was great as always. Anyway, thanks as always to all of you who've made it out to the shows, to all of you who support what we are doing here, and hope to see you all soon somewhere out there, thanks, Carl.
