Anticipation

So it was pointed out to me that it's been like a month and half since our last blog. Not good....we are all about keeping everyone up to speed with whats happening in the life of torndown. So first, our apologies....


Second, the title of this blog says it all. Anticipation!


We are sooo excited for whats to come. If you've noticed, our show roster has not been growing and for good reason. We are currently laying low and spending time writing for what we hope to be a 2009 Summer sophmore release. The music we have been writing is without a doubt some of our best work and cannot wait to get into the studio to record. However, getting into the studio as a local independent band is not easy. It requires finances, time, and planning to make it a reality, all which don't come easy when each band member works a full time job! These are are just a few of the hurdles we have to surpass so your prayers are appreciated!


We do have some other exciting news to share as well....the excitement is there for us, but sometimes it gets lost with everything going on and forget that these things are a pretty big deal! First thing is we have our very first sponsor!!! This sponsor is an online Christian clothing company called Kerusso. Their website is http://www.kerusso.com/. They have sent us their clothes and other items for the band to wear and have requested our music to play at their facilities as well as a band photo wearing their clothing. Very cool.....


The other big news is........torndown is going to Nashville!!! Yup...a rep from a company called Band With A Mission out of Tennesee contacted us, complimented us on our music, and asked us to come out to Nashville in March to play at a showcase where we will be in front of Christian music industry A&R talent scouts and reps. After the showcase, we will receive a full review on what we did well and what we can improve on and have a shot at winning the showcase. In addition, being exposed to these record label A&R scouts, the chance for a record deal becomes more of a reality than ever before for us!!! We will be playing 3 or our BEST songs, and will peform them at Rocketown, a big music venue in Nashville! We would ask for your prayers on this as well, that we would prepare diligently, and bring our best to the south!!! The showcase is on March 23rd, 2009.


Alright, I should stop. I will be impressed if you read all the way through this but this is what we get for not updating you all more regularly.


We have one show left in 2008. It will be at the Pepper Barn in Colchester, CT on Friday, December 12th!!! Please try and make it out to see us as we won't be playing live for the next few months......


Thank you to all who support torndown. Every fan counts and we are thankful!


Blessings ~

Tim, Dan, Kevin, and Jonah

guys.. BWAM tells every indie band the very same thing. let me tell you something.. the CCM industry is falling apart. You wont get signed.. you wont get noticed by A&R reps. It has nothing to do with you. Good luck in your quest to get out of indie hell.
