Pat, Its OK to be that guy, but you might want to move the thread to The Annex (reserved for non-EC stuff). I'll definitely check out your band's site though.

Ha, is the "for lease" photo a nod to the Attraction's "this Lot for hire" photo? I like how y'all are described, sounds right up my alley! Are you guys playing this weekend? Maybe we can catch you after the Elvis gigs!

I also know an Elvis fan who really is a Rockwell

, really, it's her last name!

Just saw another band named "the Rockwells" that are playing the Hi-Tone in Memphis on April 7th before Elvis plays...now it's a race between your two bands as to who gets signed to the big label first so you can keep the name! Maybe they can be the Rockwells, UK

the second song sounds like Fountains of Wayne

I like the first song, it is really long though

It's like three of Elvis' earlier songs put together end to end! Epic rock rules though...gimme a nice rocking Queen song or a really long Elton John song any day. I can hear the EC influence in the lyrics of the second song. They're pretty great as far as stringing words together that bring up strong imagery...that's why I liken the lyrics to Elvis. I'm a lyrics and pop hook girl myself.
