We’re pleased to announce that 3rd Time’s A Charm is now available on iTunes!
You'll also see that we have many dates coming up... more so than any other year. We'll be floating around several fine cities in Ohio (Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo, and Dayton), the west side of our state (South Bend, Grand Rapids), places closer to home (Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti) and even going as far as Nashville and Louisville this April and May. We hope to see you out there on the road!! Rock on.

First off, I just wanted to thank everyone who came down for our CD release this past weekend... even with the frigid temperatures outside. We had an amazing time, the turnout was great, and we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Special thanks of course to The Beggars, who always bring their "A" game and put on a sweet live show... and Universal Temple of Divine Power, who tear up the stage every time they play. We wanted a night of straight up rock and roll... and they both delivered.
Big thank yous to Melody of The Detroit News, Jeff Milo from Real Detroit Weekly, and the guys at MotorCityRocks.com for promoting the show. We appreciate the support!
Check out MCR's recap of the evening, Direct from Detroit Music's has a cool slideshow full of pics from the show, and Trazy! has some killer pics of UToDP and us for your viewing pleasure.
For those of you who missed out, you can now purchase "3rd Time's A Charm" through CDBaby... it's easy to do and you can even leave us a review and let us know what you think.

We're putting the finishing touches on the album... if you're interested, you can preview 5 of the 10 tunes on our mySpace!
Anywho... here's an early review from Real Detroit!!!
Hotness - 3rd Time's The Charm (4 out of 5 stars)
"Pedal-to-the-metal solos and rough, unremitting percussion, bring-the-house-down-blues-rock with a sexy swagger between the dark druggy allure of the Lizard King, the smokey glam-poeticism of Mark Bolan and the virulent bravado of Zeppelin; stellar debut LP, well produced, aptly capturing the explosive energy of their '70s-blues-rock revival."

Well last weekend was a blast... our recordings with Jim Diamond went very smoothly, and we were able to get the basics for 10 tracks completed.
This month, we've got no real local show... but you can catch us both downriver (Allen Park) and in Ypsi...it's our first time at Simon's Bar and Grill this friday... so if you live nearby and want to catch some rock and roll, stop in and enjoy.
... we'll be back in the D on May 5th.
