Just When You Thought Life Couldn't Get Any Awesomer!!
August 10, 2010 - Another photo to share! Last Friday, August 6th,
the Dragons had the privilege and pleasure of opening for The Titan of the Telecaster, Mr. Bill
Kirchen, at the Freeport Music Festival! To say that Tommy was a bit excited is perhaps one of the
greatest understatements of all time. A good time was definitely had by all, especially when Mr. Kirchen
asked Tommy to get on stage and handle some guitar playing duties. You coulda knocked him out with a
feather after that one! Check out the Rubbing Shoulders pix page for a couple of other shots. Thank you
Mr. Kirchen for making a young boy's dreams come true!
How Dang Awesome Is This?!?!
August 6, 2010 - Check out the photo to the right! Nope, that arm does not belong
to any member of the band...none of us have "Twang Dragons" on our bodies! This arm belongs
to our #1 Fan, Mr. Robert Volenec. He's threatened to do it for awhile but now he's really done did it! Our
compliments to the artist - it's beautiful! Tell Bob what he's won for being the #1 Twang
Dragon's fan, Johnny....Bob has won back stage passes for life as well as a free beer or two when he makes
it to a show. Seriously, Bob, we are in awe!
Mais Oui, Nous Aimons des Jours de Bastille!
July 22, 2010 - That pretty much means, "But yes, We Love Bastille Days!" And that's cuz we do!
As always, it's one of our favorite festivals of the year. Thank you John Ertl, Paddy and the rest of the folks at
the fest for taking such good care of us. And we love the beautiful and talented, Emma, for snapping
some shots of our performance. Check those out on the Bastille Days Pix Page. Merci, Emma!

July 19, 2010 - If we had a dime for every time we were asked, "So when is that new
CD coming out?"................................. Short answer to that - Ask the Boys!
Photo Shoot with Tater B. DeMille Bunker
June 25, 2010 - You may have noticed that there are new photos on the website.
We had the pleasure of posing for the one, the only, Tate Bunker. Nobody does it better! Special heartfelt thanks to Tate for
always helping us out and making us look good (well at least better!). Thanks also to Miles at the Wicked Hop for
letting us use the gorgeous Jackalope Lounge as our studio.
Seafood and Wine and Twang - Oh My!
April 28, 2010 - We've booked one of the final shows for our Twangs Across England Tour, and we're pleased as punch
about it! The Dragons will be twanging the crowds at the Hastings Seafood and Wine Festival. Thanks go out to our old friends (that's "old" not as in
age, but as in length of friendship!), Peter and Jeff from Lumpy and the Lumpettes, for hooking us up with the right people. And thanks to our
new friend, Mike Raxworthy, for taking on the Twang cause and getting us booked at this fantastic venue. We've got the last slot of the
evening so it promises to be a memorable experience for all. Hope to see you all there!
Twang Dragons Frighten Demure Columnist
March 16, 2010 - We came across this ARTICLE recently, which either rues or celebrates (not sure which)
the closing of one of our favorite venues and definitely our favorite hangout. Where some may view her assessment of us as critical,
we prefer to embrace it. You just can't buy this kind of publicity.
Thank You England...We Love You!!
October, 2009 - Once again, our annual Tour of Love was a huge success! Thanks to the fabulous pubs who
graciously allowed us to Twang their patrons...The Royal Standard, All Inn One, Robertsbridge Club, The Vault, The Clarence and The Royal Oak.
We have been so blessed to know each and every one of you! Thanks also to our buddies, our pals...Andy, Jeff and Malcolm, who were instrumental
(ha that's funny...they're musicians) in luring us across the pond so many years ago. We're still waiting for all of you to again venture to the
good ol' U.S. of A. We promise to take good care of you! A special thanks to all of you who came out to see us! You really enjoy
our music and the beer...see how nice those things work hand in hand. We can't wait to see you all again in September, 2010. England is
definitely our home away from home. You can check out some of our happy Kodak moments right HERE. By
checking out the photos, you'll also get a glimpse of beautiful Barcelona. Many happy memories were made there as well.
And a final thanks to Iceland Foods, Foods You Can Trust...for finally answering the question, What Can You Get for 6 Euros? Four of the best frozen
cheese pizzas in the world!
I Love Homemade Jams
June, 2009 - A fine Scottish lad, Duncan MacManus, was kind enough to feature one of our songs on his radio show
"Homemade Jams" on FM106, WMIL. What makes it even cooler is the other bands that he chose to feature. Yep, our English mates...Rude Knot To (Martin, Jeff & Andy)
and The Bullfrogs (featuring Malcolm in the Middle). We've put together a little condensed version of it for you to check out. Click HERE to
give it a listen. You can tune in to Home Made Jams every Sunday night on FM106. Thank you, Mr. MacManus!
Addendum to News Item from April 29, 2009
OK, so there we were in April, back in the studio working on the fourth release when BAM it suddenly became
festival season! Out of the studio, back to sharing the twang with folks in real life! Rocked some festivals, played some bar gigs, twanged England,
returned to the states and took a brief hiatus from playing out. What a perfect time to get back into the studio! So we did!
(Addendum to Addendum...Well, the holidays descended, one thing led to another...and we were suddenly taking a hiatus during our hiatus. Now that February has rolled
around, we're getting back into the studio. We really mean it this time, we're gonna be putting out CD #4 in 2010. Pinky swear!)
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Back to the Studio We Go
April 29, 2009 - We've been busy stockpiling new songs this past year,
so we decided it was time to get a jump start on our fourth release. Instead of rehearsing every week, we've
ventured back into the studio with our guitars, voices, drums and miscellaneous malt beverages. Keep an eye on the
News Page, and we'll keep you posted on how the recording progresses. We may even include a few "behind the scenes" photos.
Oh look, here's a couple...this ONE shows how happy Scott is to
be back in the studio with his bandmates. And here's ONE after Scott's spent
a couple of hours in the studio with his bandmates AND his malt beverages ran out!.
