Summer time is here in Phoenix again! Holy Hottness!! It’s def poooooolll time!! YOU need to let US know where the pool parties are this summer. Maybe some of them even need a band ? Just sayin’ .. Let us know! Haha .. Well we def have some great things on the horizon. We’re in the middle of planning our summer tour that should take us all the way to Nashville and New Orleans. But before that we will be playing at MARTINI RANCH on SATURDAY JUNE 26th opening for Capital Recording Artist ‘Royal Bliss’. If you need tickets let any one of us know!! It’s $10 for tickets and $12 at the door.
We’ve been working hard again at revamping our live set for ya! You know, always keeping it fresh. You can expect some 70’s vibrations at the Martini Ranch show .. Don’t miss out!
As far as me ?
Welp. Me and Rich are moving into a sweet 2 bedroom this weekend!! Yay!! Who wants to help us move?? Haha .. There’s only TWO pianos that need to be moved .. We know you all want to flex those muscles =) But seriously, I’m looking forward to settling in and getting some good sleep!! Speaking of .. It’s 1:40am and it’s time to dream ..
I’ll leave you with lyrics to a new song I’m working on:
“I don’t seek shelter
Under rainy clouds
But they seem to find me
I don’t need horror
Burning at the stake
But they seem to want me”
You’ll be singing along soon ..
Peace!

Red and Blue Fanfare
Hello fellow music lovers,
Richie FingAZ here. Man, have we been working hard this month! We just spent a whole Saturday in the recording studio busting out some slightly older tunes for our listening enjoyment and opportunity to find ways to improve them.
We recently played at the new Phase 54 and were the first band to do so! Thank you John for the opportunity to play! That place is frickin sweet, everyone needs to check it out. It really is THE place for bands and fans alike. If you've been slackin' on your social skills and haven't made it out yet, Google it and get your sexy ass there on Sunday May 30th when we play there again! Get on it, you'll thank me later.
We are just wrapping up our 2nd mini trip to Long Beach. Di Piazza's is a cool place to jam, have a few cocktails and pizza if the craving strikes. They've always been real good to us by making us feel welcome; now if only there were a way we could get some of that pizza and cocktails for free... Speaking of cocktails, there really is no better way to loosen up, and loosen up we did. We really had a blast!
Thank you Scott B, our band manager, for letting us get to meet California's finest with red and blue light fanfare on our way back to Phoenix. I believe there was a brief moment if sirens too. Getting pulled over is just not the same with it out, ya know? Thankfully, with all of B's understanding of the speed limit laws and careful word choice, we skated away scott free, pun intended. He gets my "hats off" for the month for quick, but nervous and precise discourse. We wouldnt expect anything less. Well played!
Well, I think that's about it for the time being. I'll reiterate, come get your sexy ass out to the amazing Phase 54 on Sunday May 30th and have as good a time as we always do. We'll keep the tunes jamin' and good times rollin'. See you there!

The Doc Is In
The Dr. is : IN
Last time I openend with how nice the weather has been. Well now that's changing for the worst here in "The Valley of the Sun". Its gettin hot around here, as well as the NBA playoffs and their fans ;-)
In other news, the band has just had a rather productive outing at Pyramix Studios courtesy of your man and mine, "Iron Clad" Moore. We were able to revisit some older material with a new fresh outlook and enhanced perspective. Which I found envigorating! It's like hearing it again for the first time. Everyone's approach is renewed. Love that about this band.
Ahh let's see, what else?
Well, Heather and I just finished puttin' a little freshen up on our kitchen with a little paint and hardware upgrade. Looks great for an almost fiddy year old home!
And finally we got to meet about upcoming our tour this summer. Looks like some new venues and some different scenes! I'm stoked, we might be playing in a theater near you very soon.

New Tunes Coming
Hey Hey IOE(ers),
What a trip we had out to Long Beach! It was so good seeing everyone at the show but that's what we do, bring it to the people and the people bring it to us. Good to see all our Cali. homies, thanks for comin' out to play.
Got to spend some time with Grandmama and see some family too. That's always good for my soul.
Hittin' the studio in a couple weeks can't wait to lay down some tracks. Ya'll might even have some new tunes to jam to once we are done. Lookin' to do a live type recording in studio and get down all of the new stuff we got. Alot of it never before heard by a live audience. It's a free recording so we'll see how it comes out.
By the way all you SUNS FANS gotta be lovin' this playoff run right? Oh Yeah Baby!!! SUNS 1 - SPURS 0
Your Drumma,
Double A

It’s 420!! To all who celebrate YAY! To all that don’t then more for MEEE!! Haha
It’s 420!! To all who celebrate YAY! To all that don’t then more for MEEE!! Haha
Anyway .. We just played a great show at Martini Ranch on Friday night!! Robert the booking agent there said that he wanted to cry; “it was like watching a National Act role through”!! I could say what else he said but we don’t want to make anybody jealous. Although Kat Williams does say that da mo’ haters you got the better you must be doing so you can hate on me all you want!! LOL
Good thangs are a coming!
This weekend we get to go play a show in Long Beach on Saturday at DiPiazzas! I love getting back to my home town and rocking out =) We have so much going on right now that it’s crazy!!! We just finished a photo shoot a couple weeks ago. We are finishing up new album artwork this week as well. We have to start planning our summer tour and WE ARE GOING BACK INTO THE STUDIO COME FALL per management. Thank you Mr. Brown.
On Sunday me and Richie were blessed to get a preview/tour of the NEW PHASE 54 on I-10 and Ray. We will be playing there. We will be opening for National Acts there. The place looks AMAZING. There will be nothing as badass as The NEW PHASE in Arizona. Its GRAND OPENING is Friday May 7th!! Mark those calendars!! We’ll be there partying and so should YOU!
What else what else .. Well personally I have moved in with Mr. Richie Russo. He has graciously lent me his couch for the nights. What do they say? A musician without a girlfriend is homeless! Thank God for band mates! Haha .. That’s all for now.
“It’s only just begun”
Your Singa, Guitar Slinga and Friend,

Photo Shoot for Album Cover
Hello everyone,
Richie here (A.K.A Floridian Franchise, Richie FingAZ, etc). I’m the one who lays down those fine sounds on the keys; just wanted to share some things with you fellow music lovers to keep you up with the haps.
On Sat April 3rd we had a photo shoot for the new cover of our album “Live Before the Train Departs” that will be in stores very soon. We shot at Durants, a real cool, classy restaurant in Downtown Phoenix. It has a very Mafioso feel with red walls and sweet leather seating. Anyway, we had a blast with very little mishaps. I think Jeremy might have gotten picture of the day with a shot taken in front of a light fixture which gave him a sweet halo look. Even the best angels would be jealous of this pic. Hats off Saint Jeremiah! Maybe if you sweet talk him some, he’ll share that pic.
We’re very excited to be playing a killer show at Martini Ranch in Scottsdale 10pm . The sound and vibe there is always awesome. Come out and support us, we’d love to see your bright happy faces! And don’t forget to say hi, we love that too.
The following weekend we’ll be in Cali
So that bout does it, wraps ‘er all up. Bookmark/subscribe to our blog and we’ll keep you, our loving fans, updated with all the haps of IOE.
See ya soon,
Richie
