The show last night was amazing. We didnt know how well an acoustic show would be received, but we had a great time, so thanks to everyone who stuck around and ROCKED with us. Thanks again to The JFK's, for being super cool dudes and setting up the show. The Hideaway and Poltik were both great as well.
We're going to be booking a lot of shows in the near future, so check back often! Follow the link below to hear a MP3 of "The Arsonist":

Just an update. Greg, our drummer, is regretfully leaving the band. He found a job about 4 hours away, and it's a career move he had been looking forward to, so although it sucks he's leaving, he's still our bro and we wish him luck. We're actively looking for a replacement so we can keep moving, so we should be playing again in NO TIME.

We may have a couple rough demo songs available online within the next week, keep checking here or email us for updates.

Go to Jadetree and check out the new Onelinedrawing song. It's amazing.

Take care,
Mark

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight. We had a rough show, and all of your support means so much to us. We're really grateful to have friends and peers who are positive and encouraging even through the tough ones. We love you all.
Some quick special thanks: Thanks to Sleepaway Camp (our brothers in rock) and The JFK's(It's refreshing to hear REAL punk, watch these guys) for rocking the show. Thanks Jason, Steve, Sara U., Jeremy, Weston, Jimmy and the gang. Thanks John D., Drew and C-burg guys(you rock) and Brandon (Pantera dude!) for all representing tonight. There's many more to thank, and you know who you are, so thanks!

We do not have any shows scheduled right now, but look to book some in the near future. We are going to be recording our demo over the holidays, so keep checking back for news on that.

We have BUTTONS and STICKERS! We are not selling this stuff, we are giving it away. Come to a show, and we'll hook you up.

This is an introduction I guess, a few words to get this blogger rolling. I'm Mark and I sing for Friendly User. We are a rock band from Southwest Virginia, with a sound that delicately walks lines between punk, hardcore, rock and even pop.

Some quick updates:

**SHOW**SATURDAY NOVEMEBER 22ND @ CHAMPS CAFE IN BLACKSBURG**
We are opening for Polly Fonic, and will go on around 10:00PM. It's $3 over, $5 under.

We are working on a demo, doing some rough recordings with Cool Edit to at least make some songs available for promotion and to give away. We have stickers and buttons on the way that we plan to give away as well.
