cheaper than cheap
With one final tour about to take place before going into the studio again for a new record, I decided to do one last push for my most recent full length. During this next tour Hide and Seek for Six will be available for download at the low price of only $0.99. You can download it by clicking here!
If you already have the record but know some people that don’t, be sure to tell them about this great deal.

Getting married
I know that over the last few weeks I have been MIA on the internet. I just wanted to let you know that it has been for a good reason. I just had my 27th birthday last night and tomorrow morning at 10 am I will be getting married and have officially relocated from Florida to Texas. The following 2 weeks will be awesome for me because I will be off on a honeymoon and be preparing for a summer tour that starts in July.
As soon as I get back from my honeymoon, I will be posting a sweet video from the metal fest that I played on June 5th. There was some sweet footage.

JULY – SUMMER – TOUR
If you have looked over my dates as of late you would have noticed that I have started filling tour dates for July. That tour is going to be a very special tour for reasons that I am not yet at liberty to discus. As you can tell most of my dates are already pretty much filled up. If I am passing through your area and you plan to attend one of the events and are willing to help do some promotion, please message me and I will get some materials mailed out to you. One thing I can say is that this July tour is going to be my last tour of the year. I am going into hiding to finish writing for my next untitled full length record. The record is set to release sometime in January of February of 2011.
With that said, I am really wanting this tour to be a really memorable one. If there are dates not yet filled and you see that I might be close to your area, please help me fill those dates.

quick and simple
I just came up with a really simple way for you to help physically spread the word about my new FREE CD. The following link is of an 8×11 sheet of paper that I put together. All you would have to do is print up a handful of these, cut them out and pass them around at school, work or to friends.

Once you click the link, you will see what I am talking about.

Squid Adventures
Today the Squid Adventure site just took a huge leap forward. If you have been to the site before, you will notice that the portfolio has grown overnight. The reason for this is one of two things. Since the site first launched, I have been busy with client after client. On top of that, I just partnered with several other people and now that makes it possible for me to offer a wider range of graphic and web based needs. For those of you who are jus hearing about Squid Adventures, I am a full time touring musician and I do web design to get by while traveling. I am cheaper than the other guy that you thought was the cheapest. Be sure to check it out!

Ways that you can get involved
Sometimes touring constantly and updating blogs constantly is just not enough to actually spread the word about the fact that TCO actually exists and is out here doing its thing. Listed below is a number of ways that are quick, simple, and productive little things that can be done to help me out.
Post one or all of these links on twitter, facebook, myspace status or bulletins:
http://www.myspace.com/thecriesof
http://indie-inside.com/discography (free CD available)
http://www.indie-inside.com/blogs (daily tour posts)
Write a review on my music:
Post the review on your wordpress blog, myspace blog, xanga, or whatever site you use the most.
Become a TCO Fan on facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cries-Of/85986493163?ref=ts
once you do, please be sure to suggest the page to all of your friends on facebook. I think that this is the number one thing that would help out the most.
Also, if you see that I am playing in your area and plan to attend, please take a moment to create a facebook event invite and suggest it to all of your friends. The more people at a show the merrier.
Last but not least:
My most recent record is a free one. Tell everyone to download it using all of the online outlets you have available.

New tour posters in process
Today, I put in an order for some new tour posters. The pictures were taken in downtown Dallas, Texas and the shoot was done by a really good friend of mine, Lauren Marek. We had quite a few good pictures as a result of the shoot and not only did they get used to print the new posters, but I also used a few of them to create a few phone themes. You can get yours from the Media Page. If you are interested in seeing the posters, just click here.

complete site over hall
Hello everyone, good news has just come to indie-inside. If you haven’t noticed, which I am sure you have, we just launched a new site update for this thing. There is so much more to check out. Even though it now is more a full blown site than it is a blog, no need to worry, there is still a blog section for those of you who frequently check up on me to see how tour is going.
Brows around and please give some feedback about the new launch.
