We had such a great time last night at our Battle Axe album release party at Blue Note Grill! Here are some photos from this momentous occasion, thanks so much to everyone who came out to the show!

Al's a crooner, who knew? Shenanigans at the photo shoot...

Several events have requested promotional photos, so we decided to put together a photo shoot. This proved to be a more difficult task than we imagined, coordinating schedules with 8 band members, a photographer, and various venues as possible backdrops. When all else failed, we decided to meet after a rehearsal at a public building. When we got to the location we realized it was locked, but we made the best of the situation by doing the shoot outside, in the dark, doing our best to stay warm in the freezing January weather. Special thanks to Richard and Katherine Springs of A Captured Image for braving the cold with us to take these photos!

Check out the frozen fruits of our labor, which are also available on the “Photos” page of this website.
