Soon to be Still Time's seventh member

Even if they're technically great I'm not always impressed by musical wunderkids on youtube. However, I think a drum and accordian duo would be amazing and if I ever meet this kid it will happen. Holy crap.

Succesful B-day

The ancient Mr. Daniel Curcio had his 26th birthday on Monday, and apparently Jameson got the memo and decided to stage an open-bar promotional thing the same day. Realizing we couldn't just go out as the slobs we usually are for such an auspicious occasion, we dressed up a bit. Two days later I believe my hangover is finally gone.



"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You may think you are a better drummer, but I know somsing you don' know. I'm not left handed."

If we were a band that exclusively played swing covers of AC/DC songs, we would dress exactly like this.

West Beach

Just over a week ago we played the West Beach Music Festival in Santa Barbara and it was amazing. Huge stage, great sound, looking at the Pacific Ocean as we play, getting the full treatment of backline (stage was already set up for us), artist trailer (taste of things soon to come?), and hanging with friends watching other acts like G. Love and Special Sauce and Ben Harper and Relentless 7 for the rest of the day. Thanks to Jordan for these pics by the way:



The widest shot I could find of the stage. Still missing about half of it, but it also shows everyone that helped us get ready before our set.



Rocking out during The Fortune. Look how happy Paul is

Standing up during my drum solo on 9 to 5. I'm pretty sure there was a reason I did that, I'm just not sure what it was. Take a look at that drumming focus/O-face too.

And this is why giving bands free beer is a bad idea. At least it was after our set.

Liam and his incredible henna tattoo.

Motivation

Occasionally after one of our longer shows someone will ask me "playing drums must be really tiring. How to you keep playing the whole time?" Usually just feeding off the energy from the audience is enough, but for those rare cases when it's not I always make sure that I have the proper motivation on my Set List:

Risky Business

I am supreme ruler of the world. Last night was an epic battle. Paul tried to take Asia but could never hold it. T-Bone and Nick began battling immediately for North America, and I consolidated Australia and South America before moving into Africa and by that time it was too late for everyone else. Even their combined desperation could not withstand my awesome might. It ended with the climactic battle in the foothills of the Sierras.

I may, however, have irreparably damaged my and Nick's friendship.

Loads of Work

It has been a crazy couple of months. I feel like we're always working, and this candid footage proves it...

The Still Time Party Pack

So we have been joking for a long time about offering a party-pack: pretty much everything you need for a sweet party + Still Time playing. Then Josh Freese went and one upped us with all the deals you get with his new CD. Check it out. Some of them are hilarious.

Since we guarantee that no one oversells us on random and ridiculous things, I offer you the Still Time Sweet Deals:

• Get a Haircut from Chris "Haircut" Arntzen: $25. He is not a trained barber, so we are not responsible for how it looks, but he can do some amazing things. Check out his work below and the amazing response it is getting from the ladies.

• Date with Nick Bilich: $50. Voted #1 most sought-after Croatian/Italian-American in Baltic Biweekly, this connoisseur of the coffee been, this handsome heartthrob and gigantically generous gentleman will take you out for a personal caffinated escapade anywhere in San Luis Obispo or elsewhere if it is on our tour schedule.
• Personalized John and Paul Jam: $100. Are you planning a special evening with someone, but don't just want to play the same old Marvin Gaye song everyone else already has. John and Paul will set up and play for your special evening. From romantic jazz for your dinner to some funky tunes for dancing to whatever your heart desires, your actions will be the third performer and our music will match the mood. Are you going to break up? We'll match the mood with an ominous chord and a drum roll. Professing your love? Paul's bow on his strings will match every nuance of your longing.
• Personal Theme Music: $150. Two or more band members will follow you around for an hour with guitars and cowbells and sing/play about your life. Whatever you are doing (teethbrushing, working, etc) we will commit it to song while you're doing it and then send the best to you afterwards.
• Still Time Party Pack: $1500. 2 Kegs, 1 Bouncehouse rental, Red Cups, 1 Beer-Pong/Flip-Cup Table rental, and Still Time playing. Fines and Travel Expenses not included.

Not sure if we're serious? We probably are. Email John@stilltimemusic.com for reservations.
