Edge Magazine 2005 Reader's Poll!

[jeffrey]

This is a San Antonio/Austin based music mag for local rock/metal/punk, etc. bands. It has a pretty wide readership and is considered by many to be the defacto music rag for this region.

Well recently their 2005 Reader's Poll concluded and the results were published.

In short, my band Thirteen Muses (hence the sig thingy), did pretty well!

Here's how we did:

Best Group of 2005 - 5th
Best Group Deserving a Record Contract - 3rd
Best Rock Band - 5th
Best Metal Band - 3rd
Best Male Singer - 2nd
Best Drummer - 3rd
Best Bassist - 3rd
Best Guitarist - 1st! (that's me btw!

Links to the poll results here and here.

Considering we only played in San Antonio three times (ever!) and four shows total last year, we think we made a pretty good impression!

Hopefully 2006 will be a good year for us, we are already booking shows like mad.

Congrabulations . Where can I hear you? You got any CDs available?

 

[jeffrey]

The link in my Sig goes to our site. You can here pre-mix/master MP3's off of the 'MP3' link in the top right corner.

 

[jeffrey]

Oops, sorry. CD's will be available shortly. We're waiting on mastering then packaging.

We're hoping for first or second week of March.

 

[puppyonacid]

[NorM]

Good4U!
That's just way cool.

 

[darchirnoj]

First of all, congratulations. That is awesome.
When is your band playing San Antonio again? I'm going to be there for a few days in March and April.
Thanks,

Awesome, Mr. Jeffrey. Congrats!

 

[jeffrey]

Thanks guys!

We will be playing in SA March 12th at "The Best Damn Car Show", it's a KISS 99.5 event and they got such good response they asked us to do this show. Hopefully it will go over well, no telling! We are the last band before the awards from 4:20pm to 5:20pm.

We are playing again March 24th with Meek at The White Rabbit in SA. That will probably be a better show anyway, Meek is great band. I'd guess we're playing around 10pm for that show.

Those are the closest upcoming shows that are confirmed.

Damn! Cool. Very cool.

 

[PugNinjas]

Congrats man, it's very cool when your band gets allocades

btw, that chick from Desdemona, Erika, looks as if she could win a couple of other "Best of" contests

I've listened to mp3s on your site, no wonder you've done so good , what gear did you use to record that stuff (guess Jp) , your sound is awesome, so I'm interested what amp/effects? Sounds like a Boogie or 5150...
Congrats again

 

[Neskob]

Btw, if you ever considered touring cheap, obscure Europian countries, just for fun (not da money) give me a call... We'll be more than happy to welcome your band!
Cheers!

Hey thanks! I appreciate anyone listening to our stuff.

I use a Rivera TBR-1SL rackmount head and 2 Boogie 4x12 Recto Traditional straight front cabinets. Outboard gear is a TC Electronics G-Force and M-One with some continuous control stuff (all effects on those songs were done in real time to track, nothing post) and a volume and wah.

And of course, my EBMM JP7's.

 

[darchirnoj]

Perfect

I'll be in San Antonio on March 11 to see 30 Seconds to Mars at the White Rabbit. Now I have an excuse to stay one more day (to see you guys). I can't wait to finally see some EBMMs in action. I'll be there again on the weekend of April 27. Very cool!

Groovy!

I can't promise whether the car show will suck or not, I have NO idea. I've never played anything like that with an original band.

I'm hoping for the best though.
