we've been bashing our brains out working on these songs for the FREE tribute set we are doing in london. Free were a badass band and are the platform and blueprint for the stone axe sound. this has been a challenge for us and there is a lot of work to be done. we will probably do a FREE gig here in the states as a warm up for the UK set.


in stone axe II re-issue news: i am done with the sequencing and mastering of disc 2. it is about 64 minutes and includes everything that has been only on vinyl up to this point. including the three songs that are being released on the split 12" with wight coming out soon. there are 15 tracks total and once again there will be liner notes by JJ Koczan from the obelisk.

Along with finishing up the Stone Axe songs for the split with Wight, I have been compiling disc 2 of the SAII deluxe edition 2 cd set. Disc one will have the original album and 4 bonus tracks including 3 songs from the Beat Club sessions and the video version of Chasing Dragons which has mike on bass and is actually the only studio recording to feature the entire live band on the same song. Disc 2 will be all of the music we have released on vinyl only, including the songs from the 12" split with Wight. Also included will be a few studio outtakes. This will be released on Ripple Music sometime around Feb./March 2012 just in time for our UK/European tour in April.


    In other STONE AXE related news the first MOS GENERATOR record recorded in 2001 is slated for a deluxe release in November. I got the test pressing of the LP and it sounds killer! The re-issue will be released on Ripple Music and will be a deluxe set including a LP/CD/Digital down load with 2 hours of bonus tracks here the rundown from Ripple.  http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=c35d849247b42a2a6bac7b710&id=e3f45f6d2f&e=273e9d2a89


   In even more news there is a 7" coming out from a side project called HeavyPink. it will be released on the brooklyn label Maple Forum at the end of october. here is a press release. http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2011/09/01/heavypinkonmapleforum/

Sometime in the fall we will be releasing a split 12" with WIGHT from germany. The Lp will be released on Fat & Holy Records. When i listened to WIGHT it was obvious that the track that i heard was a freeform jam, which i have always been into doing. On Tuesday July 19th Mykey, Mike & I set up in the studio and recorded three live jams. Next i will get the songs to Dru so he can start writing for them. The songs are very uncharacteristic of Stone Axe. All three of the 8 plus minute songs are based on single riff jams and have an interesting array of influences. From soundtrack era Pink Floyd to hendrix to Iron Butterfly. It will be cool to see what Dru does to them. I have a feeling they will be primarily instrumental because of their structure. we'll see though.

We do have some local gigs this summer to keep up the chops and try out some of the new songs live. We have never played an unreleased song live so this will be fun for us.


I recently got the multitrack files for our set at the roadburn fest in holland last april and i was surprised to hear that all 19 songs were performed well. The plan is a double live LP of the show to be released sometime this year. Another release this year will be the deluxe 2 cd set of stone axe II.


Outlines are being made for our next video Lady Switchblade. It's a very classic Skynyrd sounding song and maybe the most "classic rock" sounding song we've ever done. The video will be conceptual this time, with not many band shots. looking forward to that and some other live footage we are putting together.

Each night was an amazing surprise. Right now we are in the early stages of compiling a tour documentary that will be featured as bonus material on a live dvd we will be filming next weekend in Fort Worth Texas. The dvd will also have a few new videos and highlights from the Roadburn festival in Holland.


   Up next is Fort Worth Tx(may 28th) & Las Vegas(june 4th)for the DOOM IN JUNE festival. Then we are staying local for the rest of the summer to edit videos and write a new record. There are already a few songs in the can.


The STONE AXE II deluxe 2 cd set will be out on Ripple Music in the fall. Disc one will have the original album with 8 live live tracks from the Roadburn festival and disc 2 we have everything that came out on vinyl only and maybe a few covers and a few other goodies.


We would like to thank STUBB & TRIPPY WICKED for setting up the tour for us and letting us pound on thier gear for 10 days. These times we will never forget. Jack-Chris-Pete-Dickie...thank you.
