New Events in the World of C-M
Well, it's not like you couldn't read all this stuff in the news or the shows sections of crashmartinez.com, but I like the idea that people can have a place to make comments about it, if anyone reads this blog. Plus it's more of a personal touch. I feel like I have more freedom to be expressive of my own thoughts here than on the regular dot com. Hooray, I'm sappy.
Anyway, I'm really excited about some of the stuff that's going on for Crash Martinez these days. We've got some cool shows coming up - including our friend Ant's last show with Plan607; we're getting more local press than ever before; We've had no shortage of inspiration in the form of punk shows we've been to lately and new music we're exposing ourselves to; We're looking forward to putting together a studio production within the next few months; We're opening up a whole new sphere of exposure with our newly active MySpace page; We're getting some brand new songs ready for live performance; AND, we're in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, which is our chance to play a few stops on the VANS WARPED TOUR!! Gotta be stoked about that!
Still, I've always striven to be content. I always try to maintain the perspective that this band has already done some pretty cool things, that I'll be happy to look back on one day, even if they turn out to be the pinnacle of our accomplishments... God has really allowed us to have a great time with this music, and get a positive message out, so I guess what I'm saying is that I don't plan to be complaining if any or all of this stuff falls flat on its face. But, on the other hand, there could be some really awesome stuff in store for Crash Martinez! We'll just have to wait and see...
