Blog addition to torndown t v ~ Episode # 11

So March is almost over. Where has the time gone? It was a month of milestones for torndown. Our MySpace music player passed the 15,000 plays mark. In addition, some of the individual songs surpassed the 300 plays mark. We want to thank everyone who continues to listen to us through this access channel. Also, our Facebook page went over 390 fans. We didn’t quite hit out goal of 400 but we have added a lot of fans since October and we are so thankful for that, especially considering the lack of shows during that period. Finally, some of the episodes of Torndown TV which we launched in January have surpassed the 100 views mark. We want to thank everyone who is keeping tabs on the band and we promise more fun to come in the next few months. As always, send us your ideas.

March was also special because we were able to finally fill the drummer slot. His name is Dan Kuchta and he is the main focus of Torndown TV Episode #11. Click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUNRXQp22YY to watch the episode, meet Dan and welcome him to the TD family. Be sure to introduce yourself to him in person at the next show you come to.

Speaking of shows, we are looking forward to the show this Friday at The Waterfront Tavern in Holyoke. We know that it is a little out of the neighborhood to drive up to Holyoke, and we understand if you can’t make it, but we would love to see everyone. We will be sharing the stage with our friend from East Lake Recording Studio…Gabe MacFarland…and his band, Bound To Stand www.myspace.com/boundtostand . Take a minute and check them out. Please keep in mind that this is a 21+ show with a $5 cover.

Finally, we sent a bunch of CDs to local radio stations in an attempt to start getting some airplay. We think the music is radio quality and, if you agree, we ask that you call the stations below and request them to play a song off our Fallen EP. If they don’t play it, call them again the next day…and the day after...and the day after that…until they play it. We know that we sometimes ask a lot of you all, but radio airplay will give us a chance to take the music to the next level. So, if you believe in what we are trying to do, take a minute and give them a call. Thanks again and God bless.

torndown tuesday August 25th (a little early) SPECIAL EDITION

Welcome to this special edition of torndown tuesday’s, coming to you from a very balmy central Connecticut!

First off, we want say how grateful we are to have had the opportunity to get into the studio and record another EP. God has been so consistent in providing for torndown over the past year, year and half! There have been moments over the last few years where it appeared the end was near for the group, but we we’re held up by His grace and given the conviction and direction to press on. We also want to express our thanks to all of you for continuing to support, pray, and lift us up!

So why is this torndown tuesday special??? Well, for one, a clip of the title track from our EP “FALLEN” has been posted up on our Facebook and MySpace pages so go check it out and let us know what you think! Next, we are FINALLY announcing the CD Release Party!!!! It’s going to be hosted by Centerpoint Community Church and will be on Saturday, September 26th at Webb Elementary School in Wethersfield, CT. Those of you who made it to the March 7th show we had early this year should be familiar with the location. We will be releasing our EP “FALLEN” at this show! Tickets are $3. You can contact us to pre-order tickets at band@torndownmusic.com . The show will start at 7pm. Doors will open at 6:30pm! CD’s will be available for $7 so if you come with $10, you will be ready for this Tasty Ten Dollar Torndown Treat! Hahaha…you have no idea how long it took us to come up with that! I’m not sure how it’s tasty….maybe we’ll bring some brownies to tie it all together. We will be posting a flyer with details about our CD Release with all the details…

There’s more! Our DAY 2 video from the studio has been posted up on our pages as well.

torndown tuesday Extended Edition August 11th, 2009

Good Morning ~

We have several updates in this torndown tuesday so get your coffee in hand and kickback into torndown's world for a few minutes with us, but you have to promise right now to read ALL the way through this one right now. Promise...............ok now you can keep reading.

First and foremost: CHANGE. We all go through it. We've all been through it. We all will continue to experience it. After much consideration and prayer, Dan Bolduc has decided to step down from torndown. He feels that he is being called in a different direction at this time. Dan's love for torndown is still there, but wanting to spend time in other areas of his life leaves him at this decision. We are saddened to see Dan leave, but respect this decision and support him in making it. We are thankful to have had the opportunities that we've had with Dan in torndown and are grateful for what he has contributed. Please keep him in your prayers that God would lead and direct him in whatever is next in his life.

So, what's the future of torndown look like? Well, as you know we are on the cusp of releasing our new album "FALLEN". How ironic. The good news...there is no doubt in our minds that God is leading and he is leading with a clarity that is hard to describe in words. We will be going into the studio this Thursday to record and finalize the album. The CHANGES: I have pretty much been writing almost all of the guitars and melodies for the album. That being said, I will be recording all of the guitars and will be singing melodies and harmonies for the entire album.....

Our name "torndown" fits right along with this situation as it does with many situations. Hosea 6:1 says "for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up."rnrnWe don't see this as necessarily being struck down, but it obviously requires change. As mentioned before, we feel God leading, especially right now and think that we are on the brink of something great!

In ALL senses, we ask that you keep the faith.

We have put our blood, sweat, and tears into writing for this album and God has been good. It is some of what we believe to be the best music we've ever made and are excited to share it with you!

This Thursday through Sunday, stay close to the computer for updates at the studio. We will be blogging throughout and putting up some video clips as well.

We are grateful for this opportunity to put out "FALLEN" and want to thank each and everyone of you for helping us have this opportunity!

Thanks for sticking with us through this and through this long blog at that. Imagine me trying to update our Twitter with this!!!???

If you remember and feel led, please keep us in prayer throughout the rest of this week!

Thanks and Blessings,
Tim, Eric, and Jonah
