Let us offer this up to the good people if the world - our record has an official release date: June 20, 06. WOW. we have been anxious to deliver that tidbit for a long time. Mark your calendars, break your piggy banks, celebrate however you see fit.

Casbah: (VARIANT FORMS also Kas·bah; Arabic dialectal qaba, from Arabic qaaba, to cut up) 1. A castle or palace in northern Africa. - also "fortress" 2. often casbah The older section of a city in northern Africa or the Middle East. 3. A dark club in Charlotte of south tryon where 5 members of roman candle, (with etymology filling their heads) "cut up" the stage, warm hearts, break hearts, make friends, influence people.
Good evening Charlotta. This picture to the left is exactly what the queen city skyline looked like tonight from the stage. I had to ask a couple of our roadies to hold off on warming on baths in liquid gold (the view was too fine to turn away). Truthfuly we had a great time tonight at the Casbah. I wonder how many "Casbah's" there are in this country. my guess is several (we may have played at 4 or 5 of them). the venue name must be tempting for a club owner who wants his club to be "edgy" or inevitably "rocking". At this point in the program we have to send a warm thanks and congratulations to Jim Pearson (cousin of roman candle) who is back from flying air force planes in Iraq and just had a baby boy. Thanks are in order no only for his presence at the show night (with a party in tow), but for letting us know that the President of the of U.S. is going to be in Charlotte tomorrow morning and that they are shutting down over 170 exits and the interstates for security. which means we have to be out of dodge earl-y in the morning, if we want to be in atlanta by our sweet load-in.Thanks again to the many who came out for our show tonight. We had a primo time. -- and with less technical problems than our last show at the casbah in 2002. During the sourse of the show, Skip broke all the guitar strings on all his guitars and had to run out of the club (while the band kept rocking those smooth jams), unlock the trailer to our van (in the parking lot) and get another guitar to come back to the stage and finish a song. Thank goodness we were in the middle of our traditional cover of "fire on the mountain".
