11|19|08 Eye of Ra Video
The Eye of Ra video is almost complete.  We wraped up filming over the weekend. We had the honor of working with the most dedicated and professional crew we have come across. Grisson Davis and Kevin Pojman in association with Mark Wagoner Productions assembled a hell of a kickass film crew and production team.  
This link to Mark Wagoner Production's blog will give you a glimpse into the making of the video for Eye of Ra.  

I speak for the band, this was one of the best experiences to date. We can't wait to see the final product.  
enjoy the pics!

11|03|08 CMJ was a huge success!
We had a great time At the CMJ Music Marathon. As rookies we didn't know what to expect. We spent much of the time meeting and greeting and acting like Rock Stars ie.. signing guitars doing adds for Korg etc...

Thanks to the CMJ Music Marathon Festival for having us.

Peace
