Algernon Cadwallader-Motivational Song

I have alot to share in this post, my band went on a small tour and I have a ton of photos to post.
We werent planning on hitting the road, but we had a show offer in Ky with some awesome bands, so I decided to book a couple shows before and after the date. In oh, mo, etc. Well, we were not prepared at all. Our vans engine exploded in Il, so we had to resort to buying a new van, so we could make it to Missouri, and then home. On top of that, so much crazy shit happened, it felt like a dream. i dont know how im alive. I hope every tour isnt like that. haha.

We played in Lansing, Mi on sunday the 17th W/ Homelife and Balance and Composure, B&C has been a band i have been wanting to see for awhile, and i was super stoked to be able to get a few photos, and play with them the following day in Cleveland, Oh.
Here are a couple of my favorites, and of course the rest are on my Flickr account.
Check these dudes out at myspace.com/balanceandcomposure
if your down with very emo influenced grooves. you will dig this band.








Our show in Bowling Green, Ky was more than amazing. We befriended some of the nicest people, and watched some amazing bands. im going to post a few of my favorites from this show aswell.

These first two are from a band called Pianos become the teeth from Baltimore, Md. If your into extremly Melodic Screamo in the midst of Portraits of Past and Lion of the North i definitely recomend giving this band a listen at http://www.myspace.com/pianosbecometheteeth






Another great band that played, is from Bg, Ky. Called Make History, another great screamo/metalcore band. Very similar to early converge, heavy and melodic a new band. but this band has so much potential, there vocalist has an amazing stage presence and does not stop moving. i was stoked to get photos of these dudes. Hopefully they will be doing the tour we have set up in March with us. check this band out at myspace.com/makehistoryband







Once again, all my photos are on flickr.com/nathandell
and
we have a ton of tour dates in March that we need help getting filled. If you have the means to help us out with a show somewhere. A basement, Living Room, kitchen, anywhere would be awesome. All our dates are up on our myspace.com/downtimemi

thanks for reading, please take a second to check out these bands!

until next time

I Create-Onset

I started this blog to share with people everything that influences me, aswell as projects that im working on, and because I have too much going on so I thought this would help me spread things out. Well, it seems sometimes im too busy to do just that. But im going to try and post more, I promise.

As I said in my previous post, we've been painting our basement, and we have been doing shows. They have been going well, I just wanted to share a couple photos of the last two shows aswell as a flier for the show coming up this weekend.

Our friends in Karloff from Ft. Wayne, Indiana will be here, aswell as Controversy from Buffalo, Ny. My band has also released our Ep, on cassette, and will be available this saturday at the show. We also have shirts, buttons and stickers. Will be available at shows. Im going to be making a big cartel account soon, so shit will be available online aswell.

These were two of my favorite photos that I got from Daylight from Pa
I Have been anticipating seeing this band for so long. Definitely one of my favorite bands that are doing things right now. There music is very emotional, I would definitely consider them an emo band, aswell as a hardcore band. This band is not one to be missed. Take a second to listen, you wont be dissapointed.
