Hi Guys,

I have read you all are pretty active on your websites and all so I thought I would try and see what kind of response, if I got one at all, I would receive. First I ran into you guys a year or so back through Shannon Abrose, you know her? I think you might. She is the Founder of The Portal Magazine. She has been working and helping me out with my band since we had met through the My Stage Music website. Now of course things are never easy, but they are even more difficult coming from a small city in Germany. We get 1000 times more attention outside of germany due to the fact I am american and my lyrics are in english, but it is kind of a plus and minus here. People who love real, honest, driving music "get us" and the rest don't and if you are a band from Germany and you don't write(sing) in German....well, you can forget it. Shannon really loves us and also put us into her magazine some months back too. Now we are just waiting to finish the mixing and mastering of our debut album to really push our shit. Thing is I have been trying to get in contact with many bands and agency's to take us on or let us play a support slot for them, but I get no response. Who sets up your concerts and picks who would be your support? We would love the opportunity to prove to people that we deserve to be out there on the big stages. We play music that would fit so well with so many popular bands out there including you guys but no-one gives us a chance cause we have no contacts or agency's. Can we please rock the stage with you guys, or something? Thanks for your time and take care.

J.R.Lee
