Wow, has it really been 2 years?!?!?!?!?!?
Time flies when you're having fun though, right? So much has happened, some good, some bad...
As for MSA, we've been keeping a low profile on the pressure cooker back at headquarters... however, we do have something we're very excited about, which is the reason for update after so long. Our good friend, Andy Zipf, has finally reached his goal and is releasing "The Long Tail"! MSA is super stoked to be apart of this special event. You'll be able to hear and experience the new record at a one time event screening on Dec. 2, 2009. This will be an incredible show! Without giving too much away, you may want to bring your 3-d glasses... okay, no need for 3-d, but there will be full sized theater projection for this event... you don't want to miss it!!!
And for $10, it's a steal... first 50 peeps through the door get a free copy of the new record! Holy crap!
See you there... and keep your eyes peeled here... more exciting news to come very soon...

For all of you back in school and hard at work, MSA would just like to remind you to take a quick moment and breathe in the BEST SEASON OF THE YEAR!!! We like fall around here so we decided to have some shows to help commemorate autumn. First up, it's The Hint on the PUREVOLUME tour with Honor by August and Voodoo Blue. The show is at Jammin' Java on Wednesday, Oct 4 and it starts promptly @ 7pm, so don't be late!
After that, our good friends The Drugstore Cowboys have decided to throw a party with us to help launch their new record. It comes out in stores everywhere on October 10, so be sure to pick your copy up and learn all the words. Then come to the show on October 25 at Jammin' Java where they will rock your socks off with Secret Lives of the Freemasons, On the Last Day, Four Letter Lie, and Karate High School. There are some special instructions for this show so make sure you know that The concert starts at 9:30pm. The town of Vienna will be hosting a Halloween parade the same evening and Maple Avenue (Rt. 123) will be closed from the hours of 6:45pm to 9pm. Please plan accordingly. Feel free to e-mail Daniel at daniel@jamminjava.com with any questions.

I am proud to announce I live in Hi-Five City, formerly known as Washington, D.C.!!! The Aquabats ruled last Wednesday with a full on multimedia show, and the ceremonial renaming of our fair town.

A night not to be missed for sure... See you at the shows!
