February 4, 2006 Hi guys!
How are you all doing? I know I've been neglectful of you lately and I'm sorry...thank you all for the gentle reminders to UPDATE THE WEBSITE ! :)
We played last night at Noggins and after our extended January break, I have to say it felt great to be back with all our friends jammin, jumping around, sweating, throwing out massive amounts of free Jager/CB tee shirts (Thank you Jager!) and snapping pictures of all the beautiful smiling faces HERE.
This is SSU Homecoming weekend and we are expecting a big crowd tonight too, so come early and stay late.

Latest News: July 7, 2005 Hi guys, We hope you are all having a great summer. So far we are really getting busy this summer with lots of outdoor shows and concerts. A special mention and attention to the Friday, July 22nd benefit concert at Portsmouth West High School, West Portsmouth, Ohio where we'll be appearing with country recording artist Earl Thomas Conley. This concert is to provide scholarship money to area graduates and tickets will be available at the door for $10, will all proceeds going to the scholarship fund. Check out all the latest tour dates HERE... Well, I can finally tell you a little more about our latest brush with fame. Back in April, Gina made the final 50 contestants on the CBS reality show "Rock Star: INXS" which debuts Monday, July 11th at 9:00 pm on CBS. They flew her out to L.A. for final auditions and she stayed for a week during the final interviews, performances and got a chance to meet INXS, and the show hosts Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke. INXS is the band looking for a new lead singer and the winner of the show will get to record an album and tour around the world with the Australian band. "INXS is still looking pretty hot!", according to Gina. She said they were extremely down to earth and complimentary of her voice. The behind the scenes info we have is unfortunately Gina was sick with a bug of some sort and didn't get to show off her best vocal performance, but she says it was a great experience and all the contestants were very nice to each other. So, the bad news: she didn't make the final cut for the show, but the good news: she was chosen top 50 out of thousands who auditioned from around the world AND Convertible Blondes will still be her musical home. Great job, Gina - we are proud of you! Check out the letter INXS autographed HERE... We are in the studio working on the new CD! So far there are 10 songs written and half are already recorded. The process has been very easy, with lots of ideas flowing between everyone and just like the last CD we are all giving our input on songs and arrangements. Brian and Larry are engineering and producing this CD and it should be ready for listening hopefully the end of August. Thanks to Jagermeister for their sponsorship of the CD. Here are a few of the track titles we are working on: 1. Letting Go 2. Special 3. Happy People 4. Tomorrow From Here 5. BlondE (working title)\ We're posting a few live tracks for free downloading from our recent show Rockin' the Riverfront, Pt. Pleasant, WV recorded live July 4, 2005. HERE... Welcome our newest crew members Greg Gilbert and Tim Madden. Check out our new page on MySpace.com listen to our music and sign up as our "friend". HERE... Summer Contest Photo is up and ready for your guess. The winner recieves a free t-shirt. Check it out HERE... Well, that's it for now - hope you are enjoying your summer and loving life! Come and see us this summer... your friends, Larry, Gina, Bub and Brian |
