EUROPE - TGIF FILM FESTIVAL / FINAL VOLUME 23

Well well well!

Today we find ourselves just a few short days away from the European release of 'Bag of Bones". From start to finish, it has been a monumental journey for us, and we are humbled and honoured that you've chosen to come along with us for the ride. Now we'll be taking this music machine out on the road, so this will be the last of our studio videos for a while.

It has also been very entertaining and interesting spending time with you guys on our forum. Even though all of us in the band have decided that it is time to extend our reach and focus our efforts into our social media communities, you should know that you have been - and always will be - truly important to us. So keep up the good work spreading the word for the band. We are very proud of you, our Europe fans, wherever you are in the world.

Today's movie was taken the day we wrapped recording of the album with Kevin... all of us enjoying a Drink and a Smile!



We hope you find something that moves you in our 'Bag of Bones'.
Stay tuned for more blog updates from the summer festivals and tours.

See you out there,
