<p>This week has been a great reminder to make sure when it's time to take a break...take a break. Burn out is real and I've, thankfully, avoided it this time. I'm spending some time this week scheduling out my days so I don't end up just grinding my weeks away. I'm grateful to know to have a life you must live and this week I've decided to live. I hope you choose to live as well. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

You just might end up with something you forgot you needed. It’s ok.</p>
<p>Music is like that. Life is like that. The gods may well be able to create something out of nothing but the rest of us usually have to destroy something. It’s ok.</p>
<p>You destroyed that tree but you have a house. You destroyed that relationship but you have some peace. You destroyed that ego but you have some wisdom. It’s ok.</p>
<p>Most of the good things you have come from something that at one time was broken. It’s ok.</p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been hitting the grind super hard. Unfortunately I've been feeling under the weather. Must have picked up a cold or something. It feels like a lot of us have been. I'm toughing it out though keeping DayQuil in my system. Already started feeling a little better. So, I'm looking forward to all the things I have coming up. There is lots to get done and very little time. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It's been a pretty busy month! We've finished the latest Patreon exclusive video and I've started working on the music for the next one this week. A buddy of mine at The Maelstrom studio has had a few projects he's had come in that I'll be doing some studio musician work on. I'm really excited! Studio work was how I got started on my own music journey and I'm honored to still get to do it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This last month a family friend who's been battling cancer is building a house and I've been helping out with the carpenter crew. It's looking really great.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">As the year is almost gone, J and I are talking about what next year is going to look like. It's always a little daunting and exciting all in the same moment. Last year, we decided, in lieu of New Year's Resolutions, to each pick a word to focus on when times were tough or exciting. Jokingly, I picked "Enough. It gives me peace to say it's exactly what I got.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Thanks so much for being patient with us this month! In all the shuffling these past few weeks, we decided to try out a lyric video for this month's request.

Thanks Christene W for requesting this one. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When we first met, J was filling in on drums for a project Kyle was playing bass and singing background vocals for. We can't remember if this one was on the setlist the week J filled in but it was a song that project had done before. This song brings back some memories. It was great to reimagine, recreate and reproduce it for you! Thank you so much!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Happy Halloween! This Thursday night at 7pmEST, we're back with our live interactive podcast "Van Philosophy." This week we're talking about one of America's most haunted places and it's right in our backyard: Lake Lanier. Come hang out and chat with us. Did you know your drinking water is haunted?</span></p>

<p>I was leaving the gym the other day and I heard from across the parking lot "Hey dude, write any good songs lately!?" It's funny, because although it was nice to hear, a little panic set in. </p>
<p>We released a brand new full length album earlier this year so I haven't really been focusing too much on writing. A new album usually buys you 2 or 3 years. However, even when you have an album that's brand new, the daunting reality is that it will be old news sooner than you think, especially with how fast media travels and how much of it we're exposed to every day. It's like a star that's moving farther away while the universe it's itself is simultaneously expanding. </p>
<p>I've never had any success forcing myself to write but the muse has knocked on my window a few times over the past week or two and even though we have this new album out, I can't wait for the next one! </p>

<p>Times have been tough for a lot of us. Whether financial, physical, or emotional, we sometimes forget: This too shall pass. We have the strength to endure even in times of weakness. Sometimes, in life we find ourselves in between perspectives and overlook that the universe is all things: The good and the bad. It's beautiful. We have the power to choose. It’s funny how sometimes we forget. I hope you all are having an amazing week and find your power as I hope I can find mine. As always, to whoever reads this, I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Tune In Thursday!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When we first started touring, it was a challenge keeping each other awake for the long drives late at night after a show. So, we came up with little games to keep each other awake, researched topics we knew absolutely nothing about and generally talked about what kind of a world we wanted to live in. We called it "Van Philosophy." </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We always wanted to start a podcast but weren't really sure about a format so we just pretend we're in the van and talk about weird stuff that would keep us awake if we had to make it 4 hours until the next stop.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We are dodging the flu this week so the next live episode is THUR 10/27/22 on our <a contents="YouTube Channel" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">YouTube Channel</span></a>.

<p><span class="font_large">Tis the season! Can you guess what I'm gonna be for Halloween?? Super excited to be doing Halloween themed vlogs this month. This is truly the time of year I love most. It's the only time I can actually find home decor I actually like....lol. Even with all the stresses I've had going on in my personal life I can still appreciate all that fall has to offer. Just the smell of the air alone brings calm and comfort. I'll be writing an explanation of what all has been going on with me on our Patreon. I definitely appreciate all the support you guys have been giving us and we hope we can give you the same back. I hope you all are enjoying this weather and are also looking forward to the holidays. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. Hope you have an amazing week! -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">THIS WEATHER... I'm so glad Fall is here. We avoided the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. Make sure you check in with us and let us know how you're doing. This week, we're back on the road and hitting Scottsboro AL. It seems like almost a lifetime ago since we've been there (or in Alabama, at all, come to think of it). I can't wait to see y'all. It's been too long!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're getting into some "Halloweeny" topics on our live podcast: Van Philosophy this month, and yes, the immature part of me can't stop laughing saying "Halloweeny." Come and hang out in the chat with us. We go live every other Thursday.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As for me personally, when seasons change I usually get the urge to change along with it. It usually just involves cleaning, putting shorts away to make room for hoodies and switching to dark liquor. This year, I rearranged the living room furniture and swapped out a few deck boards that were past their usefulness. What do you like to do when you feel like Fall has finally hit?</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Hey RoshamFAM!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're so excited to show you the full music video for our cover of David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans," but first, we'd like to say thanks to everyone that's joined us on Patreon. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Patreon is a way for independent artists like us to monetize our online content that we release (which can be pretty tricky) by offering sneak peaks, early access and other exclusive perks every month. We're releasing this month's video to YouTube but our patrons we're the ones that decided the song and got access to it about 6 months before release. We're really grateful for you guys!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This past week has been pretty productive. Kyle and I had a show this past Saturday and we had a blast. We also were able to mostly finish our new merch box. All that is left is to line the inside. I've started on my end of the new cover and it's coming together real nice. I can't wait to have it done for you guys! Things are moving along real strong at the store. So proud of what we've been able to do there. I'm looking forward to our show this Friday in Augusta. A nice road trip with my best friend will surely be a much needed get away. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. Hope you have an awesome week. -J </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It's been a pretty busy week! We had a blast at last week's show! When I first moved to Georgia, I interned at a small recording studio and had a great mentor take me under his wing. I hadn't seen him in a long time but lo and behold I saw his face in the crowd last Saturday. It was great catching up and was even reminded of a few embarrassing stories of rookie mistakes. I'm very grateful for all my teachers past and present but especially the ones that nurtured a passion for music. We're pumped to be in Augusta, GA this weekend! We have a lot of good memories in Augusta and it feels good to be able to make some more. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I got a few tracks finished in the studio for next month's project this week! We just wrapped our latest video of "Verb" from School House Rock so I wanted to get a head start no the next one. J did some pretty cool edits on the Verb video. I think it turned out great! I always imagined that song needing a really sick guitar solo. It's fun getting to have a little freedom with what people have been requesting. I remember doing the stage adaptation of School House Rock in middle school and it's definitely the only reason I can still recite The Preamble. I know there's an endless sea of fun educational PBS style content floating around but to me nothing is better than School House Rock. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The trailer is out this week! The video for it will be out early next year (February-ish?) but we've been posting them on Patreon as soon as we finish them as a way to say thanks for your support. It really means a lot! </span></p>

A lot of steps made for positive change and a lot of steps for moving forward. I first off want to thank the following: I'll use code not to impede on anyone's privacy... J bro, K dog, Mrs B, Mr B, V, and Madre. Thanks for being there for me, backing me up and being an ear. It's nice to know I have people in my life that truly care. All of you mean the world to me and I'm so grateful to have the chance to be a part of your lives. It's so important for me to share with you that if you are feeling low, alone, or stuck reach out to family and friends and just be honest with them about what you're going through. Many of them have been through similar experiences or have enough outside perspective you can learn, adapt and grow from them. Take a stand for yourself. You truly are amazing and as always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much </span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Last Week...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last week we released our version of Billy Idol's "White Wedding" to YouTube. One of our patrons Sherry requested it. It was a lot of fun to reimagine the song and do it our way. Check it out below!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We also talked about 10 of our favorite real life superhumans last week on "Van Philosophy," our live interactive podcast where we just talk about random things.

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">No Podcast This Week...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It makes the most sense for us to do these every other week right now. Let us know what you'd like to see coming up on Van Philosophy. We do stories, dive in to weird topics, play games and do challenges. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I'm really excited for our release of "White Wedding" this week! Recording the guitars was a lot of fun. On this song I used a pedal called a "slicer" that turns off the volume of a guitar and quickly turns it back on again on a beat. I always thought they were so cool ever since I heard Rage Against The Machine's "Wake Up" (which as actually a cut off switch but has the same effect).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I was bummed we had to cancel our shows in the Myrtle Beach area last week but very grateful J's injury seems to be healing up. It definitely could have been worse.

<p><span class="font_large">This week has had its trials. We had to cancel our beach tour due to me injuring my wrist doing some repairs to the van. It has healed up a little and is feeling much better. I've had to have it in a splint for the past 5 days. Today I'm finally able to take it off. Still a little pain but nothing I can't handle. Looking forward to playing again. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I'll give the full story in this week's vlog. <br>This week I'm finishing up on the edits for the new cover video. So grateful how this one is turning out. I just know all of you are gonna love it. Gonna try to add some cool txt stuff once I'm finished getting all the rest of it done. Look out for it sometime later this week or early next if you are on Patreon. If not we will be dropping the trailer hopefully next Wednesday.

<p>Hey RoshamFAM! It was great playing in Hiawassee, GA last week! J and I were talking about how we still get nervous the day of a show. The best way to describe it, is it's like knowing you're going to see a friend you haven't seen in awhile. You have questions about what you're going to do and how things are gonna go but you know it'll be fun. Shows are like that. You have to remind yourself that nervousness and excitement feel the same to your stomach. There's always a little bit of an unknown but it'll fun.</p>
<p>On a totally unrelated note...</p>
<p>And I’m sure a lot of you aren’t ready for this…</p>
<p>Did you ever notice that the people that DISLIKE Creed and LIKE Pearl Jam...<br>And the people that DISLIKE Pearl Jam and LIKE Creed...</p>
<p>Say they don’t like the other band for basically the SAME reasons?</p>
<p>So essentially… Pearl Jam and Creed are… 😬</p>
<p>Isn't that funny?</p>

Thanks to everyone for coming out and bearing the heat with us. <br>I'm almost finished with the new cover audio and we will begin shooting the video hopefully this week. I'm looking forward to trying to capture some of our wacky ideas. I'm honestly really excited for this one. I hope all of you have had an amazing week and I look forward to seeing you all very soon!

The venue looks like a lot of fun. I can't wait!</p>
<p>This week, I'm working on a new tee shirt design that J and I have been talking about for awhile. We also got a pretty cool road case given to us for merch at shows from a friend of ours. It needs a little refurbishing but It's exactly what needed! We were a little worried it wouldn't fit in the back of the van after we got it but when we measured, we had an inch and a half to spare!</p>
<p>Hope ya'll are doing well!</p>

<p>It was great getting back on the road again last week! BoroFest was a blast to be a part of! I'm so glad we got to see all of you! We always wanted to play more festivals but we always had trouble remembering when and where the cool ones were. It was great to jump on this one!</p>
<p>It was a pretty late drive back home after the show and J and I took a deep dive into the topic of Sentience and Artificial Intelligence. It's really crazy how technology has developed over the past few years and some of those crazy far fetched old sci-fi movies don't seem as off the wall. We're gonna chat about it on Thursday on our live podcast "Van Philosophy" this week. We started it because we'd always have really weird conversations late at night after a show to keep each other awake and we figured the idea would make a fun podcast. Our channel is at youtube.com/roshambeaux Come hang out!</p>

<p>Been really contemplating existence, conciousness, and the meaning behind all that we do. It's very fitting to be discussing this week on our vlog "A.I." I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I assume all of you feel the same. Are the signs and signals just made up from our experience to help push us in certain directions. Is there any choice? Are we just programs as well? It's hard to not believe that we are something special, not just chemical reactions or programmed automatons. I tend to think that we are all right in a way. That these things we perceive as chemical and electrical signals are something far different then what we can understand. Our current human perspective simplifies so that we believe there is understanding. What ever it may be I can't help but to think it's something special. It's all I know. It's all any of us know. Life is a vast lake and we all get to view the surface every once in a while before we descend back below to wait another turn. What a beautiful universe we are. I hope to make the best of this experience. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>Kyle got me his prelims this week for the new cover. So, I've been diving in and writing my parts, recording them and producing all the tracks. This is gonna be a real fun one! Hoping to get this one out asap. I can't wait to see how it turns out. As always, once I'm done with all that I'll need to get to the rest( shoot the video, edits, and mixing and mastering) might need a touch more time on this one. I've got tons of really cool ideas. Not to mention we've got some pretty cool shows coming up. I hope you guys understand. Trust me, it's gonna be worth the wait. Besides all that I'm still grinding away at the shop. It's been going really well there. Lots of work to be done but super proud where we've been able to get it so far. Most of the personal stuff that's been going on for the past while has seemed to calm down for a bit and I finally feel I have a chance to breathe. Time is still seeming a bit smashed together but I'm starting to think it's because I still haven't found the groove. I think I'll find it soon. This year there has been so much change and change isn't always so easy. Hope you all are having an amazing week. To everyone who reads this I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>This week I got my tracks finished up for the next Patreon request cover. I say that but now that I think of it, there is one little part I'd like to add. I also finished up the edits for a special podcast we do while we're on the road called "Van Philosophy: In The Van." On this episode we drove along side a section of The Trail of Tears and wanted to learn a little more about it. We remembered that it was taught in schools but was definitely glossed over. The details in what we found while we were driving home were shocking, heartbreaking and infuriating.</p>
<p>While we're grateful that things like this 'don't really happen anymore,' we see a lot of modern parallels in American society today. As we said to each other that night, "In The United States, we've allowed those in power to do a lot of awful, nasty shit to satisfy their greed because they convinced us to be afraid and continue to vote for them because we've believed they held our interests above their own." </p>
<p>You can hear the podcast (along with other unreleased songs and extras) at <a contents="patreon.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">patreon.com/roshambeaux</span></a> for as little as a $1. It helps a lot. I hope you're well this week. Remember to have courage when someone tries to convince you to be afraid. If they have to convince you, it probably isn't that scary and even if it is: You can overcome it without resorting to atrocity. </p>

<p>Anybody else out there feel like the days and weeks are running together? Time seems to have a choke hold on me this week. I've been dealing with some stressful stuff for the past month or so and trying to stay afloat. It's not always easy to find gratitude in stressful situations. Sometimes the truth is hard to find. I have faith that I'll be able to find a way through the muck though. Things I know: I love being able to create music and share it with all of you, I love being able to help build and grow a gaming business with my brother, I love all the positive people I share these experiences with, I have the bestest friend in the world, I have the most amazing son in the universe, and all of you that read these every week....I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>Thanks to everybody that reached out to me last week! I took your advice and "Got Well Soon!" Last week, I injured my back working on a project that required hand mixing about 6,160 lbs of concrete resulting in a herniated disc in my L4 vertebrae. If you've had an injury like that you know what it's like. It's enough pain to get philosophical.I've since been to the doctor and as I'm writing this getting ready for a therapy massage but it looks like I made it out with any significant or long term damage.</p>
<p>Personally, when I get sick or injured I struggle with self worth. I feel useless and disappointing. I think the reason a lot of us feel that way is because by nature we're supposed to create things. When we're debilitated, we robbed of that opportunity. It's an empty, bitter and depressing feeling to accompany your pain.</p>
<p>The day it happened, pretty much the only thing that felt good was lying on the floor of my living room (a scene I remember my Dad creating when he had a similar injury). The dog came over and licked my face and lied down next me. As I lied there, I asked myself "How can I create something when all I can do is lie on the floor?"</p>
<p>I looked up at the under-workings of a coffee table I'd restored a few years before, I noticed a measuring tape, an old envelope from the utility bill and a carpenter pencil just within reach. So i took the opportunity, already being perfectly positioned, to get the dimensions and hidden pieces I never think about when I look at the top side of our coffee table and feel useful.</p>
<p>I love this coffee table. If something ever happened to it, I'd want to build one just like it. If it wasn't for this injury, I might have been lost in that unlikely event. There are a lot of philosophies and religions that say something similar to this but this is how I say it so it's real for me: "When things are tough, The Desire to Create is there for you." A little time and therapy are most likely the main reasons I'm pretty much healed up but nothing dulled the pain like laying on my back, figuring out how to remake that table I've come to be so fond of.</p>
<p>I hope when things are tough you remember The Desire to Create is there for you (even if it's just creating a peaceful moment with your dog).</p>

<p><span class="font_large">I've finally got the new cover video up and posted on Patreon this week. Really hope all of you enjoy it. We are now on to the next one. Kyle has already started on the prelims and it's shaping up to be something really special. Thanks for those of you that have reached out to check on me. Life has been pretty stressful. Getting through stuff like this is very energy consuming and takes time. Thanks again for all the love. I know in time things are gonna be just fine. In the meantime, I'll be focusing on working at the shop getting things on track there and making more music for all of you. I'm so grateful for the life I have. The good, the bad, and the in between. All have their purpose and I'm so lucky to be able to learn from these experiences. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. -J Ps.

<p><span class="font_large">Covid was awful! I'm feeling a lot better this week but I definitely wouldn't wish it on anybody. I'm bummed we had to cancel our show last week but we definitely didn't want to risk spreading it around. However, we are rescheduled for next month. J got the edits done for the latest cover song video we learned this month for Patreon. I think it turned out great! This week, I'm working on the cover for next month. I've got the arrangement laid out and hoping to be finished with tracking later this week. I won't give it a way here but I've been wanting to do this one for a super long time, so I was REALLY excited when the idea came in from our patrons. Other than music, I've gotten to work on some pretty cool carpentry projects this week. I'm a little worn out but it feels good!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We finished shooting the new cover video this week. I'll be loading in the footage shortly and starting on the edits. It was a lot of fun to shoot. I believe Kyle has already started on prelims for the next one. All of your requests were so awesome! There was a suggestion on there that we've been wanting to do for a really long time and are so grateful to finally get the chance to do it. We are preparing this week for another short run of shows out to Florence SC and Savannah GA this weekend. We are really excited to be back to these places. We haven't been to Savannah since pre-appocalypse. We really can't wait to see all of you that can make it out and are so grateful that we are able to continue to do what we do. Things have still been a bit hectic for me and I am really looking forward to some time on the road with my best friend. Hope all of you are having a good week and, as always, to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I got to paddle Section 1 of The Chattahoochee River last weekend with some friends. There's been a crazy amount of rain so the river was pretty high which always makes for a better time. It was my first time in a solo ducky (inflatable kayak). It was a lot of fun! I've always wanted to try one.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It feels good to have another cover finished and shot. J's putting the edits together this week. We should have a trailer for it ready in a week or so but you can watch it early on Patreon. I've started working on the next one this week. A request came in for something J and I have been talking about doing for a long time. We're really glad someone else thinks it's a good idea too, lol! I hope all of the RoshamFam is having a good week! Hope to see some of you this weekend in Florence SC and Savannah, GA. Traveling for music again feels like waking up out of a dream. Can't wait to see y'all!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week has been pretty tough. Had a lot of personal stuff going on trying to work through what's what and how to get everything back in order. Some bad and some good. I'm trying to get things back in balance with a realization that even the bad can be good from a certain perspective. It's strange how that works. Everything that happens to us and we experience is just another opportunity to learn and grow. I'm grateful for all of it and I know everything is going to be ok. Just sometimes in the moment it can seem apocalyptic and a cause for panic. If you're reading this please remember to be yourself. Who you are is what makes you beautiful even the broken pieces. Happiness and joy is within you. At the moment I'm sitting here working on the new cover and getting all the pieces in and mixed. This one is definitely out of the box for us. Hope you guys dig it. It's definitely interesting working on one like this and can't wait to hear what you guys think of it once we are done. But until then as always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. -J</span></p>

It took me a long to realize that George Lucas made Episode IV long before my folks met and Sir Alec Guinness' character was NOT named after my folks.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">But, I always felt a funny connection to the character and when I found out that The Phantom Menace was essentially Obiwan's backstory I was all the more excited to see it in theaters at 11 years old. I'm a huge Star Wars geek and anytime something new emerges in the Star Wars Universe, I'm a kid all over again. I'm still waiting for battery technology to advance so I can have my lightsaber! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Kyle and I both had a great time this weekend and with that came a reminder of why not to feed into the anxieties. Before we leave we both seem to share the same feelings of worry and doubt. But doing what we do and performing our songs for people is not only a way we express ourselves to the world but what truly makes us feel alive. The feeling we feel from stage when we can all in the room truly connect is such a magical occurrence. Sparks just seem to fly. I am truly grateful for all of you that traveled to see us. You really made our weekend. You guys mean more to us then you'll ever know. I'm also grateful for all the new people we met on our travels this weekend. We hope to see you guys again soon. Now that we are back home we've been reflecting on how we wanna move forward post pandemic to give, express and perform to the best of our abilities. The future can sometimes seem scary but I know it's gonna be even better than before. It's really something to look forward to. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. Hope all of you have an amazing week. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was refreshing to get back on the road last week. We definitely had some magic moments and even some awkward ones (which honestly, make for the best stories). Y'all were so much fun! Thanks to everybody that came out and traveled to see us. It was really good to see you!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, we've picked out another song request from Patreon and we're getting ready for another "unplugged show" this Friday. We say unplugged but with electronic music it's never really totally unplugged. Maybe we should just say "different." I'm really grateful we still get to play. We took it for granted before the pandemic. Going forward, music looks a lot different now and even a little frightening but that's how music is and I wouldn't have it any other way. A good day is when you ask yourself in the morning "What the Hell am I doing?" and at night you say, "That!"</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We'll be back with another exciting topic to chat about! Last week we took a break from our weekly podcast to prep for some out of town shows HOWEVER, we did record a very special version of Van Philosophy called "In The Van," where after a show driving home we pick a topic to help keep us awake.

<p><span class="font_large">This past week has been another good one. Had a great vlog where we did Cinco De Mayo trivia. We learned a lot and hope you guys did as well. A big thanks to those of you who tuned in and played along with us. We had so much fun. Kyle and I also did a pick up gig with some old friends. Just some jam/make it up kinda stuff. Also, The shop is going well and just finished doing some book keeping. At the present moment I'm doing some repairs now on the drum kit getting ready for our upcoming gigs this weekend in Chattanooga TN and Anderson SC. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you, to play these songs and give you guys some big hugs. We've missed being on the road and I know this weekend is gonna be killer. I hope all of you are staying healthy and kicking some ass this week and as always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What’s Up With Kyle…</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/e159da1fb4fe1553edc9a39ee6d12f5d18763d71/original/photo-output.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong><span class="font_large">I believe in nothing. Do you feel funny reading that? It's off putting isn't it? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We judge a lot about a person by what they say they believe. Having good judgement is vital to our individual survival. It tells us what is safe. It tells us when we're in danger. It helps us categorize and separate friend from foe, food from poison and comfort from pain. When someone says, "I believe in nothing," it hinders our cognition on how to categorize them. We are not as quickly aware of how we are similar and how we are different. It might even send up a little red flag about the person's sense of morality and their trustworthiness.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">At the risk, and perhaps goal, of offense, I would propose that the greatest evil human kind faces is "Belief." Often, throughout human history, one man would believe himself to be good and his neighbor evil, while at the same time, his neighbor believed the opposite. We're left with history book stacked upon history books filled with violence and every conceivable atrocity from this small seemingly benign concept woven into human instinct.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Belief is, in small a way, the opposite of knowledge. It would be absurd for me to say, "I believe my eyes are blue," after viewing them in a mirror. When you know something, the desire to believe in it goes away. It becomes simple. It becomes truth. It allows us to define ourselves as more than the sum of our ignorance. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think instead of asking each other what we believe, we should ask each other what we know to be true. We might find out we have a lot in common, including the things we haven't been able to discover yet. Maybe we can help each other find those things. What do you think?</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It's been a great week. Finally getting a lot of things accomplished I've been working on for a while. Being in a good spot, emotionally, can take its own toll on a person. Asking yourself "how long is this gonna last?" and "what if it goes away?" but what i have become aware of over time is....it doesn't matter. It's the journey on how you got there, the fact that you got there, to be in the moment and be grateful for all things. It's hard to climb a mountain and eventually you've gotta go back down. I think this time I may camp on top for a bit. It's a great view. Hope all of you lovely people are having an amazing week and as always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was great getting to jam last week in Dahlonega. It was great getting to see some familiar faces and meeting some new ones too! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store. We’ve gone through a lot of changes as a band the past few years. Some of them were absolutely terrifying but some were refreshing. All I know is I love playing music and it’s even better getting to do it with my best friend. Live shows haven’t been as concentrated since pre-pandemic but I’m somewhat grateful for it. Last week I told J, I’d forgotten how important it is to pace yourself during a live show instead of going full blast until you’re spent but at the same time it felt good not having that mindset. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I hope you’re well this week and you have time for music, whether it’s playing it or listening to it. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Man, It's been a grind. I'm getting close to having the new cover video put together. We shot it this past Sunday and I have all the footage imported. Just waiting on the muse to tell me what to do with it. I'll hopefully have it posted to Patreon by the weeks end. Besides the music, we had a super successful weekend at the shop. We had record numbers in attendance and couldn't be more grateful to the gaming community for showing their love and passion for the games. My brother and I put a lot of work into setting up the murder mystery and ambiance for the event. It makes me happy that it was so well received. But I do know soon I'm gonna have to plan some down time to reset. It's been nothing but go go go with everything. I've been thinking I've definitely got to get back to my daily walks. They help so much to help keep my head straight. Now that it's warmed up it's a perfect time. What's something that keeps you level? Leave it down in the comments and as always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much! <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week we finished shooting the next cover video. We had a few cool ideas for this one. One of which involved me almost falling off a ladder. No worries! It would have been a short fall. It was a lot of fun! It’s great when you can just run with new ideas. I’m really grateful we get to do these every month. Now that this one's almost wrapped, I'm working on getting a head start for the next month. I'm excited for the unplugged show we have coming up this week!

<p><span class="font_large">This past weekend was my birthday. The big 37. We had a super chill fire with friends and couldn't be more grateful to everyone that came out and shot the shit and shared stories around the fire. I'm also grateful for those of you who sent messages and comments. I felt so loved and lucky to have all of you in my life. I've been so busy the past few weeks with the shop and working on the new cover for you guys. I'm hoping I'll be able to finish it by the end of the week and we can shoot the video and then I can edit it to be out sometime next week. I also wanna give a shout out to Nancy for helping me out with some questions I had the other day. You are the best! No insightful post here this week....more of an expression of gratitude and an update on what I've been up to. But that's just how it goes sometimes. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. Hope you have an awesome week! -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I’ve often struggled with the balance of feeling busy and actually being productive. Like a lot of people I imagine, when I feel busy I get less done and when I’m being productive, I don’t feel busy. </span><br> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last week I felt busy. While, I did actually get a lot done, I didn’t feel very accomplished. This week, while I have a pretty decent list of things I want to accomplish but I don’t feel particularly stressed about it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I’ve found that when we allow ourselves to approach what we’re doing with a sense of creativity, anxiety seems to disappear. I think it’s the difference between knowing what you need to do verses remembering why you’re doing it. </span><br> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">I don’t necessarily have a great handle on it but I’ve learned to be grateful for when moments like this come. I hope the next time you feel busy you’re able to snap out of it and realize that when you act you create. I believe that’s what we’re here for. I’m not a particularly spiritual person, but I imagine that if there is something that created us, we’re the closest to it when we create. </span><br> </p>

<p><span class="font_large">We're working on recording the next cover request from our friends on Patreon! Each month our patrons help us choose a new song to learn, reimagine and produce. This month's cover is turning out to be a lot of fun! We can't wait to post it!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Our 40th Podcast!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When we'd have to keep each other awake driving to next town on the road we always thought it would be fun to start a podcast and just talk about the random things and stories we'd find, not necessarily have an agenda. When the pandemic hit we had a lot of time on our hands so we decided it was a good time to try it out. Since then, it's taking a shape of it's own with bizarre and spooky stories. But... we figure, isn't that the best thing to keep you from falling asleep? This week we're covering the bizarre tale of The Lobster Boy Murderer- The Story of Grady Styles. Come hang out! We'll see you Thursday at <a contents="youtube.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>youtube.com/roshambeaux</strong></span></a></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Did you ever sing along to a song and realize you've been singing the wrong lyrics? Some of my favorites are "Hit Me With Your Pet Shark!" (Pat Benatar) or "Hold on to what we got! It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not!" (Bon Jovi) and of course "Wrapped up like a douche in the night" (Manfred Mann).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, I was SURE I knew all the lyrics to the new cover we're working on for Patreon. I Googled them. I watched YouTube lyric videos, wrote them all out in my notebook and texted J back and forth about the song all week. Apparently, my brain was SO sure that I was right, it rejected all information to the contrary. I won't give it away (at least until after it releases), but I confidently submitted my main vocals, along with a few stacks of background vocals to J and I'll never forget the look on his face when he said, "Um... what are you saying in the chorus?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So, with somewhat of a bruised ego, I went back and re-recorded those tracks. I was able to salvage most of the original takes with some dubbing tricks but I'm definitely going to look at official lyrics a little more closely for next month's project. I was reminded this week of just how dangerous "knowing you're right" can be. We can be so sure of ourselves and look like total asses rejecting that evidence to the contrary that's been right in front of us the whole time. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">From my experience, you can be wrong OR rude and be easily forgiven but it takes a lot for people to get over it when you're both. So next time you're having an argument where you're SO sure you're right, just think of that song you'd been singing and tell me your favorite misheard lyrics in the comments.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've started gathering tracks, producing, and writing my parts for the new cover for Patreon. Next week I'm hoping to get started on mixing. The process of creating these cover videos has been a real joy and has really changed my views of doing covers in general. Being able to take something randomly requested and try to put our own twist on it has proven to be a fun and musically exploring experience. It's been so cool to hear our supporters request songs I haven't thought about in years and be able to re-explore and re-experience them. Most, if not all, have had some sort of impact on me in my life; either musically or personally. It reminds me really how much music influences our lives and how it connects our brains with memories. I'd love to hear what songs you've connected with memories. If you're reading this comment below with a song and what it means to you and how you have connected with it. As always, to anyone who reads this, I love you very much! -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I took some much needed time away. Venturing to the beach to try and gain the much sought after beach time reset. As I'm writing this I find myself in front of the ocean with my toes in the sand pondering absolutely nothing in hopes this will last. A lot of you know what I'm talking about. I've talked to most of those around me and this seems to be something normal and mundane for most folks. But to me this is special, something I don't ever get to do, something I'll never forget. I'm so grateful for this life, its beauty and the opportunities for such experiences. As the waves come crashing in it soon recedes. A reflection of the cycles of life. A reminder that no matter how big the wave it always returns back to the ocean. I hope all of you have had an amazing week. I look forward to getting home and back to work and seeing those that I miss most. As always to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I'm working out the arrangement for our next cover request. Our team on Patreon had some cool suggestions this month and we've decided on one. I really look forward to getting to work on these every month! I'm so grateful to everyone that's signed on to the team so we can keep creating. No matter who you are or what you do, it's easy to put a box around yourself. It's great that you give us a break from that. It's makes us better musicians and it's great to feel like you're a part of something outside of yourself. I love making music. To me there's nothing better, especially when it's not just for me. It's the one thing that grows the more you share it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">While this might be breaking "the rules" of Roshambeaux, I think I might need to borrow a bass for this one. Listening back to this one gives me some new ideas and I might need to venture away from our normal bag of tricks. I can't wait to dive in to this one! I hope you're having a great week and get to spend some time creating even if it's just a moment. It's what I think we're here for.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We had a <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>break</strong></span> last week from our weekly, live and<span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong> interactive</strong></span> podcast "Van Philosophy." People ask us what kind of a <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>podcast</strong></span> it is and we just say, "What ever topic keeps us awake." We started doing a podcast because we essentially would have one <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>every night in the van</strong></span> after a show while we were on the road. Driving late at night after a show isn't always very exciting and you HAVE to stay <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>awake!</strong></span> Our podcast is recreating what we do after a show and the best part is we can have you <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>along for the ride</strong></span>. Come hang out on Thursday! This week we have a spooky story to tell you. There's nothing like a <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>spooky story</strong></span> to keep you from falling asleep!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Subscribe to our channel at: <a contents="youtube.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><strong><span style="color:#3498db;">youtube.com/roshambeaux</span></strong></a></span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Keep With Us!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Everyone is an <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>individua</strong></span>l and we get that. Some people love <strong><span style="color:#e74c3c;">social media</span></strong>, some people run as far away from it as possible. If we're being honest, we're a lot more like that second group of people but in today's age we <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>understand</strong></span> that that's how we check in on each other. The <strong><span style="color:#e74c3c;">absolute</span></strong> best way to keep up with what we're doing is to <a contents="subscribe to our mailing list." data-link-label="Email List" data-link-type="page" href="/email-list"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>subscribe to our mailing list.</strong></span></a> We put out one email a week on Wednesdays at 8am (along with this blog) and let you know what's new, whether it's <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>new music </strong></span>being released, new <strong><span style="color:#e74c3c;">live shows</span></strong> announced or new projects we're taking on. We're always up to something!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">However, we try to stay <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>active</strong></span> on social media too so if you use any of these apps on your phone, look us up. Having subscribers helps but to us, it's <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>most important</strong></span> that we find a way to stay together even when distance keeps us apart.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been diving deeper into a new business venture with my brother as an accountant. So, basically I've been working and designing spread sheets to help track everything. I've been doing it for years with Roshambeaux and am looking forward to applying my gained knowledge to the retail industry. Since Kyle was sick again we haven't been able to do much together in the past week. So, I've had a little more time on my hands. I'm so blessed to be working in 2 fields that I'm very passionate about and have amazing communities (music and gaming). I look forward to the future with optimism that both can grow and balance what would have been a one lane road. I've also been enjoying the time I've been able to spend with my brother. In the past decade, always being on the road, I haven't been able to see him very much or any family for that matter. I'm so proud that he has taken this step into the unknown to seek out his dreams and give the chance that he can build something of his very own. This is gonna be a lot of work but I know and see the pay off for the future. As always, to anyone who reads this.....I love you very much! -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What’s Up With Kyle…</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/e3948cef41f0302d371b40d1aaf242ed4d26b2b8/original/img-1526.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong><span class="font_large">In light of the Will Smith & Chris Rock incident this week, I thought I'd share my thoughts on what I think makes something funny. As an entertainer, there's always a risk of hurting someone's feelings and having a mountain of experience doesn't make you immune from it. I think I understand why when humor goes wrong, it hurts and might make you do something you regret, especially if you're already dealing with painful emotions.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">For something to be funny it has to be true and also break expectation. That’s why a joke isn’t funny if you’ve heard it before. Humor makes us feel good. It embraces ignorance. It’s our soul’s way of saying it’s ok if you don’t have all the answers. It’s better that way. It’s funny because it’s so sad: Humor is a survival mechanism to deal with helplessness. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">From an evolutionary standpoint, it’s never good to be wrong. Wrong gets you poisoned while looking for food. Wrong gets you a broken neck falling out of a tree. Wrong gets you eaten. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">However, the hardest you’ve ever laughed in your life came from an unexpected truth. You were wrong and you were never happier. Think about it. Life is scary. The truth is: The unknown lurks around every corner. Laugh at it. It’s what you’ve evolved to do.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When humor hurts, it's because we're already hurting. When humor hurts, it's as if our last tool to fix what's broken falls just out of reach of our fingertips when we need it to survive. When humor hurts, the truth is not a surprise, it's an all too familiar burden we wish we could let go of. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As someone who is navigating what my role is in reminding society what equality should look like because I am both equally black and equally white, I'm disappointed in Will Smith. I know what it's like to overcompensate an aura of gentleness for fear of enforcing a stereotype. However, as someone who likes to not think too hard about those kind of things... I get it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We had such a great time in Summerville this past Friday! We made lots of new friends and we hope we get to see you guys again real soon. Now I'm back home and it's time to get back to it. By the time you read this I will have completed our trailer for the brand new cover exclusively available on Patreon. You can go watch it on our YouTube channel. So excited with how it turned out! We even were able to play it live at the Summerville show. It was such a great request and we can't wait to see what you guys wanna hear next! For the remainder of the week I'm working on some spread sheets so I can finally file our taxes....I know I'm a little behind...lol. Just been so busy and hadn't found a solid chunk of time to get to it. But I'm grateful to be back home and have the opportunity to get all this finished up. I was even able to have a chill out and do nothing day when we first got back home. It felt so good!! We've got some time off coming up this next month and I fully plan to take full advantage. I've been in need of some good solid days to just kick back and relax. But of course I'm sure I'll end up working on something..lol. that's usually how the cookie crumbles. But until next week...as always....to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was a great show last week in South Carolina! Thanks to everyone that came out. It was great seeing you! This week I'm getting stuff together for this week's podcast. We found this crazy story and it should make for a great time chatting. Be sure to tune in and hit us up in the live chat. Honestly, talking with people that tune in is what makes it fun so don't be shy! Here's the link to our channel: <a contents="youtube.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><strong><span style="color:#3498db;">youtube.com/roshambeaux</span></strong></a> We also just released a trailer for a new cover song that made it in to the live show so check out the recent uploads!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I got a pretty cool opportunity to do some voice acting. A friend of mine is releasing a book next month and I got to voice one of the characters for a promo piece he's putting together. It was a lot of fun! I'm pretty used to recording my voice but voice acting is totally different from music. I have a new respect for the pros who do it all the time. I also finally got the new live guitar pedal board programmed. It was kind of a rush getting it together for the show in Atlanta and it felt a little foreign to me. Now that I've had some time with it, I've been able to make some tweaks to help it feel a little more natural for me on stage. I hope you're having a great week! </span></p>

<p>This week has been busy. Looking forward to having some down time next week. While working on the new cover, writing my parts, mixing, producing, shooting the video and now editing, rehearsing for our live show this Friday, writing sets, preparing the new cover for live performance; I have had little time to reflect. I've been mostly just focusing on making my way through a long to do list.<br> </p>
<p>Deep down I'm excited about all of it and of course, like most of you out there, I also share in concerns with rising gas prices, political overreach, overseas conflicts and war. How will this affect live music, especially for us little guys? After just coming off a global pandemic I'm not ready for another blow to our industry. As I'm sure you guys aren't ready either. But most of all I'm angry how these figures can disrupt our ways of life, force control, and manipulate freedom.</p>
<p>Think of the people in these war torn countries: just like most of us they just want to live their lives, love their families, create, do something fulfilling with their life and have some sort of purpose, not forced to run for their lives, hide, and pray to live another day for the sake of some else’s profit. I thought we were better than this. Honestly, I think most of us are. I'm not claiming to understand all the nuances of what and why all this is happening. I'm just a drummer of a rock band for gods sake...lol.<br> </p>
<p>All I know is love your family, be kind to each other, stand up for what you believe in, make strides in personal/spiritual development, take part in community, and take care of your piece of Earth. Like always...to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>It's looking like a busy week! We finished shooting the next cover video for Patreon this week and I'm really excited for how the production is turning out! We've been trying to step up every month thanks to everyone continuing to support us on Patreon. I'm working on some graphics and clips to get over to J to piece into the performance footage. I think this next one just might be my favorite so far! We should have it up soon so if you've been thinking about checking out all the stuff we have on Patreon, this is a great week to do it: patreon.com/roshambeaux</p>
<p>This year, I've said goodbye to my old amp modeling pedal board and got a new rig for shows this year. I've been trying to pick up some new skills over the past year or so I decided I'd make a road case for it. It was a fun challenge putting it together and a cool learning experience. I've put some behind the scenes photos on Patreon of me building it. I can't wait to test it out at the show this weekend!</p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Crazy</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We always loved the vibe of this song. This months cover is brought to you by our patron Nancy B. We used to cover this one years ago out on the road. It was nice to be able to revisit it and produce it how we always heard it in our heads. We took a much sadder tone than the original in hopes that it allows you to hear in the song what we always have. Watch the full video on your YouTube app or stay on this page and watch it below.

<p>I'm wrapping up on the new cover this week. I'm wanting to try and get it prepped for live when we hit Montreaux next week. We have scheduled to shoot the video Thursday. Sitting at the mix desk now walking through everything and I'm truly excited about this one. It's nice to be able to do these covers especially when one is requested that takes me back and reminds me of where I come from. This is one of those songs. Be on the look out for the trailer and if you're on Patreon look forward to seeing the full video sometime next week. Hope all of you are having an amazing week. Much love. <br>-J</p>

<p>Let it be. We hear that a lot. It’s what we say when we feel like we’ve run out of options. “I can’t do anything so I may as well do nothing.” </p>
<p>I don’t think to let something be means to do nothing. Being takes doing. Allowing something to exist is the most powerful thing we can do. Existence is difficult. It takes effort. It takes maintenance. It takes will. Acceptance comes from our underlying fear of not being in control. Acceptance doesn’t change anything: What we do does. Letting something be is an active decision. </p>
<p>I enjoy music but I’m not a musician because of it. The world is a hard place but it’s not a bad place. Our concept of good and bad is rooted in the tools we’ve developed to ensure our survival. I’ve been told there is a high probability of other universes existing along side our own but to me, I think we live in the best one. Here, we have the ability to create. We have the opportunity to say “That’s impossible,” and in the next breath say “No, it’s not!” I’m a musician because I feel The Desire To Create. I want to say “Let there be, have it be so and say that it is good. </p>
<p>Even when we are helpless, we are powerful. We can think, speak and form things into existence. We are the Creators and the Creators are us. Let it be.</p>

<p>What an amazing time we had this past weekend at Oyster fest in Atlanta. I have to admit I was pretty nervous leading up to it. It's been a couple years (due to the pandemic) I've played in front of that many people. I'm so grateful things are getting back and am looking forward to the other events we have coming up this year. Just seeing all of you again out in the crowd smiling, singing along, having a good time and dancing with us is a true blessing. I can't wait to do it again. On a side note; I'm getting pretty close to finishing the new cover for Patreon. Kyle is supposed to be sending me some of the final guitar tracks later today and I'm finishing up on the mix of everything else as I'm writing this. When I saw this request come in it took me straight back to my teenage years. I can't wait to show you all what we've done with this one. We should be on schedule to shoot the video for it at the beginning of next week. Hope you all are having an amazing week. With what's going on in the world let it be a reminder of gratitude. Hug your loved ones, hold them tight and remember not to take this life for granted. My heart goes out to those in war torn areas and I hope that one day we can be above wars and death due to squabbles between rich men in suits. It's sad we aren't there yet. But I hold out hope that one day we will be. As always...to anyone who reads this I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>It was so much fun playing Oysterfest in Atlanta last weekend! A friend asked me if I still get nervous performing in front of a big crowd. I absolutely do and don't think I'll ever get over it.</p>
<p>I've learned over the years that being nervous and being excited gives you the same feeling in your gut. I have to tell myself, "You're not nervous, you're just excited." It seems to work! I remember, not that long ago, it being a struggle to make eye contact with people from stage when I was feeling nervous. It felt like staring at a stranger a little too long at the grocery store. I'd have a little implosion, mess up a few lines or riffs and wonder why it felt like I lost my connection with the people in front of me. It's funny, seeing it written down now. Of course you lose connection when you shut people out. I've come to realize that music gets rid of that awkward stage almost pretty quickly if you let it. We're all getting to know each other but music is a commonality we share whether we playing or listening. </p>
<p>This week I'm working on finishing my tracks for this month's cover request on Patreon. I'm REALLY excited about this one. The first time I heard this song I immediately texted J and said we should cover it one day. I'm really glad y'all put this one in! I'm also putting some of my carpentry skills to the test building a custom case for the new guitar floor rig. I've been posting a few progress picks on Patreon and I think it's gonna be awesome! I'm so grateful for y'all. A lot of musicians called it quits over the past couple of years but I'm glad you haven't let me. Y'all are the best!</p>
<p>-Kyle</p>

<p>It’s been a busy week. Kyle and I have been grinding away trying to prepare new guitar tones with his upgraded guitar rig. It's very exciting how the tones sound but can be kinda stressful trying to get everything just right. We have to remind ourselves to have fun with it. But sitting back today thinking we are finally fully upgraded with our live gear is something I didn't think I'd ever see. We now both have the exact pieces we've been wanting for a long time and I truly am grateful to have it. I know it sounds kinda silly but growing up not having a whole lot, dreaming of a future where I'd have certain gear available to create and perform with, makes me so proud to be where we are now. We get to perform with everything all together for the first time this weekend in Midtown. We couldn't be more excited and hope to see you guys out there. It's gonna be a blast. I'm sure we will continue to fine tune and tweak things but that's just the journey. I had a good friend tell me once "It's about the journey, man, not the end of the road." So true. As always, to anyone who reads this......I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>My brain hurts! If you've seen me this week you may have noticed I've been in a little bit of a fog but I couldn't be happier about it.</p>
<p>When I was younger I remember hearing some advice that I've always tried to keep with me. "Never Quit School." It's the idea that there is always something to learn, even long after you've turned the tassel and decided what you want to do for a career. The universe is accelerating and if you don't accelerate along with it, you'll be stuck in the past like a star that's dead... you just don't know it yet.</p>
<p>I've toured with the same guitar rig for almost 6 years and the time has finally arrived to call it quits. Not, with playing music but retiring the old rig. It's seen a lot of cities, been on a lot of stages, had a lot of beer spilled on it and has probably had more electricity ran through it than it was made for. It's like saying goodbye to a good friend but I hope it finally can enjoy some rest. The new rig sounds incredible! I forgot how much work it is, setting tones with new gear (especially with electronic music). I’m really glad J is here to help. I've had to go back and research a lot of things I haven't had to think about in awhile. I've been diving into a lot of signal chain set up/theory this week, staring at RTAs, VU meters and digital assign matrices. And yes, that makes my head hurt reading that too. However, I have a huge smile on my face and I can't wait for you to hear this stuff.</p>

<p>This week I've been trying to give myself a bit of a break but realizing staying busy and having the right balance is what keeps me sane: Not to much to feel over whelmed and not to little to feel lost. It's nice when you can have things to bounce between: Working on music and creation, take a break a couple days, then for those couple days help more at the shop and in between taking care of what needs to be done at home. Finding the right balance can be hard at times but it's so nice when you seem to find a groove. I'm hoping I can continue to find the right amounts of each as I truly am grateful for all I have going on right now. Being able to spend time with friends and family, help grow 2 businesses, and still be able to create. But it's all creation isn't it? Whether it be creating new relationships, new businesses, ideas, music, jewelry, video, a tasty dinner, all of it. What a beautiful ride. I'd love to hear what you are creating today. I've always loved the concept that we are how the universe experiences its self. The universe is all things positive and negative. We have the choice which to give attention to. Ps. Looking forward to starting on the next cover video. Hoping to start on it soon. We've also got some cool shows coming up. Check out roshambeaux.com for info. As always to anyone who reads this I love you very much. <br>-J</p>

<p>I'm really happy with how this month's request "White Wedding" turned out! Thanks Sherry S for requesting it! I always liked slicer effects for guitars but I never got around to writing a part that used one. It was a lot of fun working on this one this month. We're getting ready to start taking requests for next month on Patreon. If you've been thinking about checking it out be sure to get in this week and let us know what you want to hear. I can't wait for the next one!</p>
<p>"White Wedding" will release on YouTube later this summer but you can unlock it now in exchange for supporting us on Patreon along with about 6 months worth of early releases and some behind the scenes footage. We've been really fortunate to have an outlet like this. Not only does it help keep us going every month it helps write our live show too. Thanks to everyone that's joined us! I can't wait for what you suggest next!</p>

<p><span class="font_large">We finished shooting this month's cover song request this week. If I'm being perfectly honest I never really liked this song. I never quite understood the lyrics and thought it was a little "hokey." When we were going over the suggestions this one popped up and I wasn't sure if we could come up with a good way to make it our own. I went and looked up the lyrics and it spoke to me. I was really surprised. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of the lyrics in our original music is a warning of how the world can be and how you can get caught up in things that will wreck your life if you let them: being a follower when you should be a leader, doing the wrong thing because you think you'll look cool, keeping bad habits and people in your life because it's all know and being afraid of you'll be without them. Every day is a nice day for something. It an be a nice day to keep your head down and go along with things. It can be a nice day to ignore what's slowly killing you. It can be a nice day to settle because it's safe. However, after giving this song another look and listen, reminded me that every day can be a nice day to start again. It's ironic, that trying to reimagine this song gave me some trouble in the beginning and I had to start over with my parts a few times but now I think it's going to be one of my favorites. Life is like that. It's easy to feel stuck when you go forcing something when it's just not right. It's true: You will lose time when you start over but you will net a whole lot more in the long run if you stop hurrying a lot and worrying a lot. It's important to ask yourself what you really, really want... because when it's over, that's the time you'll fall in love again.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">P.S. yes, there's a bunch of song lyrics in this post and one of them is from this month's cover but you'll have to go check out Patreon at <a contents="patreon.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">patreon.com/roshambeaux</span></a> to find out for sure. Does that make me a bad guy?... duh!</span></p>

I've been doing some pretty cool stuff with it and can't wait to share it with you. If you aren't on Patreon yet, now is a great time to consider joining us. Requests for the next one will be open soon. This next one will be posting before the end of the week. I've also ordered some items to help with the technical difficulties we had the other weekend. For you tech junkies: I'll be routing my monitors to an external preamp to the side of the kit. It's kinda funny how few single IEM boxes are actually stereo. I'm so glad I found one for a reasonable price. I'll be getting all that set up, along with consolidating a snake for all the cables ran from our on stage mixer to my station. I'm pretty excited and it should allow for set up to be even more stream lined. I hope you guys have had a good week and enjoy your weekend. I'll be playing in the MTG Neon Dynasty prerelease this Friday and highly look forward to that. Hope I get some sweet pulls. Take care my friends and as always.....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Listen On Spotify...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Spotify has been a little controversial lately sighting unfair royalties and artists demanding other artists be removed. Our experience has been very positive and it helps us a lot when you listen. While it's true, royalties are very low, if you follow us and listen to us regularly on Spotify it evens out to the equivalent of you buying a record over time. So don't feel guilty if you haven't bought the new album yet. Listen to it and our other projects on Spotify. It adds up!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We had such a good time this past weekend! So great seeing those of you that came out. The cold was pretty intense. So, I appreciate it even more, knowing you chose to come see us and not stay cozied up at home. On our way to Augusta we even drove through some snow. It was gnarly. Luckily, it wasn't sticking and we made it safely to our hotel. Also a big thanks to the venues that hosted the shows: Montreux in Summerville and The Loft of Augusta. You guys were great. We truly appreciate all that you do for the music scene and allow us to do our thing. Now that I'm back home I'll be getting back to work on the new cover for Patreon and hope to finish it before the week is over and we can start shooting the video for it by the weekend. It's shaping up to be really cool and I'm excited to see how it comes out. I hope all of you have a great week and as always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J</span></p>

I'm currently working on the brand new cover. At the moment I'm writing this, it can go a lot of different ways but I'm starting to see a direction. It's leading me towards a more challenging direction but I'm up for it. I can't wait to see how it turns out and hope you guys are excited about it as well! With last week's gig getting cancelled, I am even more ready for the upcoming shows this week. I can't wait to get on the road, get some miles in, and see all of you again. Besides the new cover, I'm also working on writing up new sets for this weekend's shows. All this compounded with everything I'm working on and doing outside of music, can make some of it seem a bit overwhelming. In all this I think I found my word for the year....Balance. While it's nice to be busy it's also important to plan your down time, to recover and do some self care. Some of my favorites are but not limited to: cleaning house, gaming, taking a nice walk, meditation, having a fire, and a good epsom salt bath. I try to incorporate at least one of these every day and it seems to really help. What are some of your favorite self care activities? I'd love to hear them. With no certainty of what this year may hold, I hope you all are able to find a sense of balance as well. As always....to anyone who reads this.....I love you very much and can't wait to see some of you this weekend! -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I've finished my preliminary writing and tracking for this month's new cover song. I was unsure about a few parts, and on top of that we noticed a few technical issues so I may need to go back and do a few pick ups. However, J's working over the session now and said he's hearing a few directions it could take and those tracks I was having issues with might not even be necessary. It's nice when things have a way of working themselves out.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's always fun getting to work on these projects for Patreon every month and see how they take shape. Sometimes, they turn out exactly the way we plan and sometimes they become something totally different. I'm really excited for this one! You guys picked a good one!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Due to a snowstorm in SC, we had to cancel last week's show in Anderson so I'm especially looking forward to this week's upcoming shows. We do have a make up date on the books for Spring and we'll be announcing it shortly! We did get a nice clear night in GA after the storms and a few friends invited me to go star gazing with their telescope. I snapped a pick of Jupiter through the lens. It's a little hard to see in the photo but I could actually make out some of the orange bands and it's giant spot. The little dots around it are 4 of it's bigger moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa has water on it and that may mean that it has life! Wouldn't that be crazy?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/7283f8b94e71b9d1eda1de10b8968a3b025939b2/original/screen-shot-2022-01-25-at-7-58-22-pm.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I hope you're having a good week. It's easy to feel discouraged this time of year after those New Year's resolutions become a reality. You got this. I'm proud of you.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week we got a ton of snow! Always so beautiful to see until you realize the power is gonna go out and the internet is gonna stop working...lol. During the storm I spent the time to rest up and get my head together for the upcoming shows. It was definitely needed and I am grateful for it. Since the power wasn't out long I was able to get in some rehearsal time and jam a bit as well. Also, I caught up on some cleaning and gathered and subsidized our taxes (the fun stuff..lol). Now I feel ahead and it's a good feeling. What did you guys do during the storm? (If you were in it) if not, how was your week? I hope all of you stayed safe and stayed warm and enjoyed and took advantage of your time. I'm feeling good about the upcoming year and look forward to all the fun projects and shows we have planned. I hope you are too. And as always to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It's really rare that Georgia gets snow but it's always exciting (and a bit of an ordeal) when it does! Does anyone know why there's always a mad dash for milk and bread before a big storm? Do milk sandwiches taste good, lol? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Before the storm hit, I was hoping to fill my small tank of propane for the grill that had run out. The last storm had knocked out power for several days and I figured the grill would be a good way to heat a pot of water or cook up a meal if it happened again. Everywhere I'd stopped told me they were out. At my last stop, I went up to the counter and immediately saw the sign at the register "No Propane." The clerk asked me what she could help me with and I told her what I'd come for but saw that they were out as well. A little discouraged a went and sat in my car in the parking lot and thought if maybe there was a place I hadn't checked yet. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Just as I was about to start the engine and head home I heard a knock on my driver's side window. "Hey man, I heard you talking to the clerk inside. I got a tank that's about 75% full in the back of my truck if you wanna trade me your empty one." I was a little shocked but said, "Yes, that'd be great!" We made the exchange and I reached for my wallet to pull out some cash. "No, no man. Just let me give it to you."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I protested for a little while but no matter what I said his mind was made up. To be honest, I was fighting back tears. It was only $15-20 worth of propane but to me it was hot coffee, a warm meal and maybe even a sponge and wash cloth bath for the next few days. I know, especially online, it seems like the world is getting more divided and cruel but this guy reminded me that we're in control of what the world can be. We're only divided if we say we are. There is only hate if we allow it to come from us. Sometimes, all it takes is a gesture or an almost full tank of propane to make the world a better place. Thanks man!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a83a997f008cf48085d874975aafa010e51b1307/original/img-1139.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I really liked how this month's request cover turned out on Patreon. We're about to take requests for the next one and I'm itching to get a head start on it. It's been great getting to work on a new challenge every month. I'm totally ready for the next one! Recording music reminds me of being a kid. I ruined SO many tapes because it was such a rush hitting the little green circle button that said "record" and seeing what sounds I could capture. Recording has come a long way since but I still get that nervous rush every time I hit the button (it's red now).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I'm working on booking shows. It's funny saying that now, because for most of my adult life, that was just a normal week. It's easy to take things for granted when they become repetitive. I'm grateful to have a few dates on the books and can't wait to add more. We have a few shows coming up this month that you can check out at <a contents="roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates"><span style="color:#3498db;">roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates</span></a> . Let me know where we should go. This year feels a lot like starting over. That notion always seemed so daunting to me but anytime something feels like that I remind myself to say "I get to" instead of "I have to," and getting the opportunity to start over sounds amazing. I hope you can find your version of that. It's good.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been working on editing drum sounds for the live rig. Working through each song and dialing in the drums just right. I'm excited with what I've been able to do so far. The module I use, the TD-50X, is so extensive with the options it gives you. It allows me to perfectly dial in custom sounds and have something in the end unique to me. I remember day dreaming, when I was younger, about maybe one day owning one of these higher end modules and honestly never thought it was possible. But here I am tweaking on this thing with endless possibilities and I feel nothing but gratitude. I am so lucky to be able to do what I do. What a beautiful ride and it's not even over yet. I can't wait to let you guys hear and feel these new sounds. It's important not to give up your dreams. They are there for a reason. An inner voice guiding you to purpose. A slice of this existence your spirit yerns to experience. Even if at times it may seem impossible. You'll find your way. As always, to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Getting the year started off right! To start it off: We wrapped on shooting the footage for our next cover video this week. As I'm writing this I'm about 1/3 finished with preliminary edits. I know you guys are gonna love it. It feels good to get back to playing after a long break for the holidays. I'm sure I'll be finished with this video soon, probably the next day or two and I'll get it posted for all of our lovely peeps over on Patreon. Those of you not on there will see the trailer, I'm assuming, next week. Second: I'm super pumped for our upcoming shows in just a couple weeks: All great venues and all gonna be a killer time. If you're in or near any of the following areas be sure to come out and see us! (Anderson SC, Summerville SC, and Augusta GA) check roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates for details.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Next: our hardcopies for the new album should be getting to us in the next couple weeks and is releasing to Spotify around that same time so be on the look out. Lastly: I've been taking some time and reflecting on what means the most to me, set some priorities and how I'd like to see this next year shape up. I'm working through what kind of show schedule and new content I'd like us to create. I'm excited for all the possibilities and experiences there are to come and can't wait to share all of it with you. Never stop playing and as always to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week started off with a few... hiccups. We had a pretty decent storm over the weekend and a few trees decided to take out my garage, my car as well as knock out the power to the neighborhood for about two days. I just got power back as I'm writing this (that hot shower felt GREAT!). On top of that, I made an upgrade to my guitar rig and got an email this afternoon that the equipment is going to be delayed from backorder.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm not going to lie, I was pretty mad about how my week started but quickly realized: There was no one to be mad at. Realizing that, I was able to let go and laugh about it. Joy isn't about what happens. It's something you're allowed to just have even when things are rough and the sky is literally falling. It would've been nice it it fell just a foot or two to the left, though. However, I think that's comforting.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm so grateful. We have a lot of cool shows this month and new music coming out to Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and Patreon. Check it out at roshambeauxmusic.com/van-philosophy . Even though the rig upgrade is delayed indefinitely, I'm grateful for all of you reading this. You're the reason I get to even make music to begin with. It sucks about the car and the roof but they can fixed. I remember a time not too long ago when I wished I had them and would have gladly accepted them with a busted windshield and tree limbs sticking out of them. See you soon!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I had a wonderful holiday this year. Being able to see family and share in the happiness and gratitude with them. The excitement of others as they open the gifts I picked out for them was definitely a big highlight. I even got to spend some time with my father's brother that I haven't spent time with in forever. I revisited a place where a majority of my childhood was spent, where I first dreamed of becoming a musician, where even before I learned how to play I would just set up and clean music gear and dream of a stage and lights, my nanny's music room. I was so grateful to be able to have that experience even if she wasn't there in body to remind us all to keep going and pushing our music, she was there in spirit. If I had only one wish it would be to be able to sit down with her one last time and show her some of the songs we've made over the years. She was and will always be my shining light. I miss her dearly. But am so grateful for the time I did have with her and how she influenced my life. Our band first started at her house. Not only as a childhood dream of mine, but when we first had the idea to form Roshambeaux that's where we first jammed, right in her living room, and knew it was something special. I hope you all had a great holiday and are looking forward to the new year. To anyone who reads this.....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b132606e1ead152ad999d9f99eb67f7e90ed5c4d/original/img-1045.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I decided a long time ago to not make New Year's resolutions, or at least not tell anybody about them. At least to me, I think most New Year's resolutions fail before they begin. We set them up on the contingency of tomorrow. "Next year, I'm going to do this," or "Tomorrow, I'll start..." and so on. It's like that old joke of the person that decides to go on a diet and then finds a box of cookies on the shelf and says, "Well... I'll finish these up and start tomorrow." No... You... Won't.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Why do I know? Cause' I've been there: A lot. Making a conscious decision to procrastinate, in my opinion, is worse than letting it just happen. It gives you a false sense of having it together. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing it now. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to progress. I think it's a good thing. it's a good thing to want to do better. However, I think progress is something to focus on now, not later. In my experience, it's the only way real change begins: when you just... start. Starting is hard. Starting is messy. Starting is awkward. It's ok.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Don't let this next year be "Your Year." Let this moment be your moment.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Happy Holidays! I never really saw saying that as an "Attack on Christmas." Growing up I had a lot of friends that didn't celebrate Christmas because they're family's culture celebrated something else in the winter. I think if someone is different than you it's not attacking you. It actually has nothing to do with you at all. However, it does seem to be a very human thing to celebrate something when it gets cold outside no matter where your family comes from or what religion you were raised in. So, whatever you're celebrating, I hope you stay warm and hug your loved ones. I give Christians a hard time because I was raised as one. I see the beauty in it but I also see how it can turn into something ugly if you forget its core principles in exchange for gang mentality.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, I've finished my tracks for the next release on Patreon and am tidying up some of the backend details for our new album "Existential Threat's" release to Spotify on Jan 18.

<p><span class="font_large">I had some amazing get away time this past week and it was just what the doctor ordered. I was in my head about all the work to be done here at the end of the year (CD master's, submitting to digital distribution, submitting to the manufacturer for hard copies, plus the new cover song for Patreon). It's important to remember sometimes you just got to allow yourself to step away from all the noise and release it all back to the universe. We have everything in and I'm currently working on the new cover now. I'm hoping to have everything prepared for us to shoot next week. I'm so grateful for my mini escape and am prepared to remind myself next time to do the same. I couldn't be more proud than I am about what we have done this past year and the projects completed. Well, gotta get some hours in on this new cover and gonna wrap some presents. Hope you all are having an amazing week and are looking forward to having an amazing holiday with family. There is so much to be grateful for and as always.....to anyone who reads this... I love you very much and wish you a very happy holiday! -J</span></p>

When I was younger I used to call it the winter depression. Even wrote a couple songs about it. As I've gotten older I've found it more of an old friend. Not one that that you like very much but one that is consistently there for you...lol. As I try to shake the funk I'm glad to say that we are moving along getting the hardcopy CDs ordered so we can get them out to you. As I'm writing this I'm working to finalize the CD masters for press. When preparing songs for different formats they have to be handled differently adjusting for the type of player. I'm hoping that we will have these and the finalized art submitted to our manufacturer by the end of the week. I'm also happy to say that I got the new mic for our Thursday vlogs in and have finished setting it up and testing and hope it proves to be an upgrade in quality (noise to sound ratio) with there being so much to be grateful for and things to be excited about I'm sure I'll shake this S.A.D. b.s. sooner than later. Hope you are having a wonderful week and I am truly grateful for you. To anyone who read this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I finished the guitar arrangements and tracking for a cover song we're working on for everyone on the Roshambeaux Patreon. I really like how it's turning out! I always like this song. I never realized that I'd only ever heard the "remix" version of the song and not the actual original. It's always fun when you realize something new about a song. I'm really grateful for everyone on Patreon. It goes without saying that I appreciate the support but it's such a great feeling that I get the opportunity to reimagine how I would do a song if I'd help write it every month. A lot of musicians I know will be the first to tell you that they don't listen to as much music as they'd like to. I'm definitely one of those musicians that a lot of times is too busy worrying about making new music that I forget to listen to someone else's. There's so much to learn even if you have a whole bag full of tricks. I think music makes almost every situation better. There are a few exceptions but I don't think an of them are a place I'd want to be anyway. Let me know what music you're listening to this week and if it's something you made please don't be shy to share it here. I'd love to hear it!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Last week we had to cancel our show in Anderson SC. Kyle came down with a bug the night before and wasn't able to shake it in time for the show. He's still a little under the weather this week but is making an improvement. We hope y'all stay well, eat healthy and take your vitamins!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I've been getting things ready for submission to our digital distributors and working to finalize then new master's for our hardcopy release. As soon as we have dates we will let you guys know. We are super grateful for all the preorders to make this physical release possible and your patience. Also, the requests are in from Patreon for this month's cover project. You guys really put in some good ones! It's gonna be hard to pick. We think we may know which one we are gonna go with, but man, you guys made it hard this time! I've also been on the train of frantically getting ready for the holidays: Planning all the gifts and making sure all events are on the calendar. I know it's just the beginning of the month but I somehow feel behind. It seems it's always like that. It kind of relates to the "time thing" I spoke about last week. It's poof it's almost Christmas...lol. Nevertheless, all of this will soon be finished and respite will be had. I hope all of you are having a wonderful week and as always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Last week I got hit pretty hard with a cold/flu. I was really bummed I couldn't make the show on Saturday in Anderson, SC but I knew I wouldn't be able to give it my best and also didn't want to spread whatever I had to anybody else. We're working on rescheduling the date and we can't wait to see all of our Anderson peeps asap! Thanks for everyone that sent me well wishes. I'm feeling a lot better this week.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Now that our weekly podcast is back up and running I've been busy clipping it up for promo. It's had its challenges doing it live but I think it's more fun getting to interact with everyone. We've gotten a lot of good suggestions on Patreon of which song to release next. Every month we take requests to learn, reimagine, produce, record and perform a new cover song. It's been a lot of fun and surprisingly enough helps us get our name out to people that haven't heard of us. We're really grateful for y'all! I'm listening to a few of them now and getting some cool ideas. I can't wait!</span></p>

Don't freak out, I'm fine. It's where my meditation asked me to go. Whether these sentiments are something we deal with on a daily basis or once in a "Beaver Moon," I think it's good to ask yourself "What's defeated you? What have you lost? " and "Who are you arguing with?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've been defeated by having a career in the music industry more often than I can count. Every time I've been defeated, I've lost something. Sometimes, it's time. Sometimes, it's money. Sometimes, it's dignity. However, sometimes, it's something I'm happy to lose.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As I look back on my defeats, I smile knowing I've lost the will to "power through" a shitty/underpaid gig. I've lost the will to choose a paycheck over joy. I've lost the will to be in the wrong room at the wrong time. I've lost the will to compete with the football game. I've lost the will to argue with myself over the price of my sanity.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's ok to be defeated. It's ok to be lost. Sometimes, it's the only way to be able to stand your ground. I've found that not every obstacle in life can be smashed. Some have to be bypassed. Some ceilings are glass and you can break them. Some are stone and will squish you until you realize the room next door has more air headspace. It can be frustrating when the lit path seems like a circle and the unknown path seems so dark it makes you wonder if it's even there. What I've learned, is that just because you DON'T want to do one thing, doesn't mean you should give up on doing ANYTHING. Just don't do that one thing. It works out. It might be scary. It might feel like you're losing something. But sometimes being lost is the best place to be. "What's defeated you? What have you lost? " and "Who are you arguing with?"</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Finally wrapped on the brand new cover video. I'm happy with how it turned out and hope that those of you on Patreon enjoy the work we've put in on this one. Not gonna lie, after this weekend's show(our last one of the year) I'm looking forward to taking a few days to myself so I can rest up before I start getting things figured out for the holidays coming up. I'm having a hard time realizing that another year has almost gone by again. Feels almost like a time warp. I've heard people say as you get older time seems to speed up. Is this a perspective of a summed Life in a moment or something else? The more life you've lived vs when you're young and you've had less experiences. Since in the moment it seems forever is now. Whatever the case may be, what I do know is I'm grateful for each day and each moment to better gain wisdom on this path. So blessed to be able to make music with my best friend and share it with you ,our Fam. Be sure to appreciate your time and value it. Make the decision on what you want to spend that time on and who with. These things make up that sum and the perspective of your life's totality. Make it a beautiful one. Much love. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Anybody notice the weird heaviness on the spirit during this past full moon? I kept trying to fight it off but soon realized I just needed to go with the flow. funny how that is....sometimes the more we fight the more we become stuck. It's almost like quicksand. I know not all of you believe in moon energy stuff. I didn't for a long time. Just kept being harder to ignore the "coincidental" social and personal emotional tides. I truly believe that we are all connected in ways that aren't obvious and we haven't been able to understand yet. With all this technology I find it strange it's in the old ways I seem to find understanding. I am truly grateful for this life, its consciousness and existence. The ability to have an amazing weekend seeing all of you that were able to make it out to Saturdays show. And have the choice to experience that joy it brings. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving with your families and have the chance to share your gratitude around the table. Try your best to choose joy and gratitude over frustration and stress. As always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J</span></p>

I'm looking forward to spending some time with family this week. I have some good friends in town and am prepping for a nice fire as I'm writing this (maybe even some hot cider and whiskey to go with the good company). I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and get to spend it with someone you love. I'm just about finished with the art pieces for the hard copy version of Existential Threat. I should have some official stuff to show you on Patreon very soon (and maybe some rejects too). Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe and don't get in to too many arguments with your crazy aunt.

<p><span class="font_large">I learned this week that not having pride and having humility are NOT the same thing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I remember being told to "practice humility," when I was growing up and that it simply comes from changing your perspective. I seemed implied to me, that humility was an easy lesson to learn. It only required focus and internalization. I think, and apologize for lacking a better word, that this notion is bullshit.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think pride can be laid down with will power. I think we can remind ourselves to be kind to those with less ability or experience. I think that pondering the notion that we are capable of learning new things is admirable but I don't think that's humility. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">To me, humility isn't something that comes from faking it. I don't think you can approach a situation with humility or make a decision to be humble. I don't think anyone has a "humility switch," they can turn on at will. However, I do think that the only way to be humble is to be HUMBLED by something. I think humility is a gift that's given violently, through mayhem, chaos and other uncomfortable moments.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">To me humility comes from being the dumbest person in the room and realizing it. It comes from diving into the maelstrom, barely making it out and realizing you had nothing to do with it. It comes from wanting to be better so bad it makes you ashamed. Humility doesn't come from you laying down your pride. It comes from when it's so shattered it's unrecognizable.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'd say, "I hope you find some humility this week," but my mom told me it's wrong to wish evil on other people, so I better not. You'll know it when you find it. It'll hurt. It will make you want to crawl up in a ball and die. It will be beautiful. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The past couple of weeks have felt like the busiest weeks I've had in a long time. But honestly it feels kinda good. Funny how the little voice inside most of the time tries to get us to do nothing but when we actually fight through that it feels good to accomplish things. Anybody else notice that? I always joke about how my natural state is doing nothing....I've come to find out that that's actually the opposite from the truth. We are at our best selves when we are accomplishing tasks, creating new things and sharing our passions with others. I feel so blessed that I get to have the choice to experience this joy. Sometimes that decision is a hard one to make but it's always there for us to choose even if sometimes it isn't obvious. Find your joy and choose it. That doesn't mean all the negative stuff isn't there too. It's just that we can choose which we are going to focus on and that's a real gift. Which one are you gonna choose today? And like always...to anyone who reads this I love you very much. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Every month, with the help of our Patreon Fam, we release a new performance video of songs they suggest we learn. Next week, we're releasing our version of "Those Shoes," by The Eagles. While we're both pretty into classic rock, we hadn't heard this song until Renee T suggested it. She really picked a cool one! Thanks so much Renee! You're right, that bass is HAWT!

<p><span class="font_large">We did a live album listen party on YouTube for our new album, "Existential Threat." It was a lot of fun getting to hang out with y'all and chat about what it was like writing and recording it. The stream is no longer available on YouTube but you can rewatch it alongside all of our livestreams on <a contents="Patreon" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.patreon.com/Roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">Patreon</span></a>.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>This Week...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The requests are in for the next song on Patreon. We'll be releasing it late spring/early summer but our Patrons will have it this month. We'd taken a little break from monthly covers while we're were getting the final details of the album finished but we're excited to be back at it! The song we're working on now we've always enjoyed but we decided to go a totally different direction with it. We can't wait to release this to Patreon this month!

<p><span class="font_large">Grinding away working on the new cover for this month. It's been such a great way to develop production skills: Always looking for new sounds, new parts, and new vibes to keep things fresh. I'm almost finished with all my parts and editing extra stuff. We plan to shoot the video super soon. That means it will be available soon. We will be putting up the next request form up in the coming week so we can try to get a head start on it since we took the time off from them to finish the new record. I'm really looking forward to getting back to the vlogs this week and starting back a steady schedule with those. If you're interested in hanging out with us and catching up each week tune in Thursdays at 7pm EST at YouTube.com/roshambeaux . We've also got a couple shows coming up this month and can't wait to see you guys! I've gotta make sure I get some practice in. I've been so covered up with the tech side of things and excited to finally get some play back in. All work and no play makes J a dull boy....lol. As always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b3361ec9fded876a38cf3e12245dac5bac131d6a/original/img-0812.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> A lot of times after finishing a big project I can't help but feel drained. With myself, it can easily form a pattern of feeling drained, feeling guilty for needing rest, having a sense of productivity not stacking up to the recent past and letting that guilt turn into a sense of worthlessness.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I was was told this week, that someone, right now, needs you to be you because you are a spark of encouragement for them. I kind of rolled my eyes at the idea. "My attitude right now is not going to make anyone's day better, lol." Obviously, I do think that negative emotions can get in the way but they also can help us stay in balance. They can help us say, "I know how you feel," to someone that needs it. A lot of times, I'm guilty of thinking my best place in the world is to cheer up people when they're sad or heavy-laden. However, when I honestly ask myself what I want when I'm feeling down, it's rarely a clown. I think in those moments, I value honesty more than a fake face mistaking pleasantries for kindness.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The lie is that someone will be robbed of joy or energy (either ourselves or others) when we feel negative emotion and let someone in on it. We're taught that a bad mood is like a virus and we should quarantine until we're well. As musicians, we talk a lot about having an "on button, which is a great way to be wired as long as it doesn't turn off your "honest button." The truth is, we rob ourselves of those things when we tell ourselves our light's too dim to create a spark of encouragement for someone else. You need to be you, mess and all. We change the world when we share each others burdens more so than pretending nobody ever has them. So, if you're tired and cranky and feel guilty about it: Don't. You're just what someone needs. I hope you meet them.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Hope you had a happy Halloween! It was a big one for us part of the RoshamFam. This week I've been working on a short promo video for the new album. Hopefully by the time you read this you may have seen it already. Also setting up our streaming software for the listening party This week. I'm pretty excited to be doing something like that with you guys. With the new album finally released I'm blown away by the response we've received from all of you. It means so much to me that all of you are out there finally able to listen to our new songs and are embracing what we've poured our hearts and souls into. I've said it before but I feel this is truly our best work yet. From the art Kyle put together, our collaborative song writing, to the final mixes and masters. We are both so proud and I'm so glad that those of you who picked it up are enjoying it and sharing your kind words with us. We couldn't have done it without you. And as always to those of you who read this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It feels so good to have the new album out! J and I worked really hard on it. I'm so grateful for the response it's getting and to everyone that's already gotten their copy. I can say without a sliver of doubt, it's the best thing I've worked on.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I'm working on a few additional art concepts that will be included in the hard copy release and really enjoying my time outdoors. I always think Georgia is beautiful but this time of year, it's like someone turned up the vibrance and contrast knobs. I wasn't born here but I think I'd like to die here. And I don't feel weird saying it. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with everyone at the live listen party this week. If you haven't gotten an invite, I promise we're not ignoring you. You can tune in on our website or on YouTube (send us a message if you need a link). A lot of emotion went in to making this album and I'm excited to get to talk about it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Back in the days of DVDs we couldn't wait to get home and watch our favorite films and especially check out the bonus commentary reels with actors and directors. We're excited that we get to do our own little version of that live next Thursday night November 4th, 2021 on our <a contents="Youtube Channel" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">Youtube Channel</span></a>. Tune in at 7pm EST and hit us up in the live chat as we listen live, talk about our writing and recording experience and answer your questions. We can't wait to hang out! DON'T MISS IT! The stream will only be available live on YouTube but as always, our patrons on Patreon can watch the rewind of this and all our live streams at anytime.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">So.....it's finally finished. What a great sense of relief it is to finally be able to say that. I'm so proud and excited to be able to finally share this new record with you guys. It has been a crazy couple of years with so many ups and downs. Here we are now with something we are so proud of. A diamond forged from coal. Made under the extreme pressures of what was placed on us all, what I like to call, "The apocalypse," lol and our own self driven pressures of wanting to really dig deep and try to share with you something truly real and expressive of our experiences through this life.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's not much time until you will be able to listen but if you want to get it early you can find it on patreon.com/roshambeaux. It's our way of giving back to those who stood by and supported us when we needed them most. Without them none of this would have been possible. I am forever grateful to these folks and also to those of you that keep listening, reading these blogs, watching our videos, coming to our shows, sharing the music with your friends and sharing kind words. We are so lucky to call you Fam. And as always ....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. May you have an awesome week. Halloween is gonna be real special for us this year. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Wow! I can't believe this album is done! All this week I've been staring at the cover art and listening to it on as many devices as I can think. It looks and sounds great on everything so far! The album "Existential Threat," will be available at <a contents="roshambeaux.com" data-link-label="Existential Threat" data-link-type="page" href="/existential-threat"><span style="color:#3498db;">roshambeaux.com</span></a> on Sunday 10/31/21 but it's available today for everyone on our Patreon. We really wouldn't have been able to put this out without them!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Now that the album is finished, I've been sitting down with the next idea for our monthly requests. Each month on Patreon, we get ideas to learn, reimagine, record and perform a new song just for them. I've been having a lot of fun reimagining this one and just about have my parts wrapped up. I'm sure we'll give y'all a little teaser in a few weeks but if you want to get in on it check out our Patreon at <a contents="patreon.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">patreon.com/roshambeaux</span></a> (otherwise Steve is gonna take all the requests... not that that's a bad thing).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're planning on doing a live album listen party on YouTube next week so pop on over to our channel and subscribe if you haven't already at <a contents="youtube.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">youtube.com/roshambeaux</span></a> . I always loved watching DVD commentaries after finishing a film or concert bundle when I was growing up. I just HAD to learn about the process. It's exciting to get to be on the other side of it. So, if you're like me and like hearing about writing, capture or are curious about the latest technical wonders of audio recording come hang out and chat on 11/04/21 @ 7pm EST. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">"I'll do that stuff when it's not so hot outside." It seems like I've been saying that all summer. September turned into, "I'll do that stuff when it stops raining." This week my excuses were over. It was even a little chilly. I finally got around to those outside home projects I'd been putting off: pressure washing, resealing the deck, painting and throwing out those things that have just been sitting there for God knows long saying, "Oh but I might use/fix/need that one day."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I was reminded this week that our existence is just a part of life itself. The seasons change and we get an itch to change along with them. I had a moment looking at what the other animals were doing between brush strokes and couldn't help but imagine they were up to their "Fall Projects" too. I always laugh to myself when someone says they're going to go somewhere and "experience nature." You ARE nature, and pretending you're something above it may very well be the reason why you're so stressed out all the time. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Joe Rogan (Stand Up Comedian Rogan, not Controversial Podcaster Rogan) said that, "Maybe God made a monkey... that doesn't like to think it's a monkey... and lies a lot." I laugh hysterically anytime I recall that bit. I think it's true.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">Stop stressing so much. Listen to some music. Go outside. Create something, even if it's just white paint on porch trim or a moment with someone else. It's worth it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">As I'm writing this I have all the songs in the master session. Meaning we are close to the finish line. Seems like there is only one song that I need to go back and tweak the mix which is very exciting. Last record I was having to rework so much to get things where I wanted them and honestly still wasn't happy with it....lol. This one has been two years plus in the making and we are finally going to be able to share it with you. We plan to put it out next week. We are releasing it first to Patreon since none of this would be possible without them and we are truly grateful for all that they have done. I'm excited and also a bit anxious. We are putting our hearts out there on this one for everyone to see and we hope you all can find something in the songs that speaks to you. This collection of songs mean so much to Kyle and I and are a reflection of how we feel, think, and experience this life. We hope they can mean something to you as well. I look forward to hearing your response upon release and wish you the best of days to come and like always to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It felt so foreign yet so familiar. This past weekend was our only short tour booked for the year and it was amazing seeing all of you. Getting to hear you singing our songs back to us and seeing the big smiles on your faces was so amazing. Not only did I miss that I missed the late night long drives with my best friend. We were able to make jokes and laugh but also have some deep heart to heart conversations and inspire each other to reassess, reconsider, and rethink as good friends do. We've got a few shows coming up that are pretty spaced out but we are working to get some more runs going next year. If you wanna know what we have left for the year check out roshambeaux.com for all our confirmed dates. I had also forgotten how much I have missed hearing your stories. All of you are so beautiful and I'm grateful to be able to get to know you and share experiences with you. I know the past 2 years have been hard on so many of us and we are all trying to figure things out. I'm happy to hear so many of you taking this time to reassess things to start living more fulfilled lives. It warms my heart to know that we are still here and in this experience we call life we all share in each other's triumphs. As always to anyone who reads this I love you very much. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><span style="color:null;">I was excited and even a little nervous getting back at it last week. However, it's been so great getting to sing these new songs from the upcoming album in front of people!

<p><span class="font_large">What a string of bad luck. First, Covid a few weeks ago then I get attacked by fire ants...lol. I'm so sorry we had to cancel the stream. All of a sudden, I started feeling like a wad of butts. It turns out the venom of soldier fire ants is pretty intense. But hey, on the upside the last song of the album is looking like I'll have it finished mixed by next week. Throughout working on it, something kept seeming like it was missing. I tried everything. It turns out I needed more Kyle magic. I told him what I was hearing. He tracked something's at home and he sent me exactly what it needed. He really did an amazing job at capturing the essence of the song. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful partner and best friend to write music with and take on this journey. I've been in lots of bands over the years but collaboration has never been so fluid. Ideas and concepts have never been so mutually understood. I truly am grateful. And I'll say it again....I can't wait to show you guys all our hard work. Also glad to say I'm feeling much better. Basically took a day and a half Benadryl nap...lol. I'm sitting here working on the new song and....I don't know man....it's just really coming together and this new record is truly gonna be the best thing we've done. Hands down. To anyone who reads this....I am super grateful for you and love you so much! -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Hey guys! This week I'm brushing up on guitar solos. We have a few shows coming up this month. This song Poison Well off our last album After Math is about feeling trapped in an unhealthy cycle. Some one asked me a little while back why we right such sad music. Honestly, it's because a lot of people are sad and we know what that feels like. My mom always told me when someone is said you should be sad with them. I became a musician because I wanted to make people happy but I've realized that you really can't make anyone be anything. You can just be there for them. I'm not sure what your unhealthy cycle is but I hope you're able to find a way out of it. Until then... I know what it's like. This song is for you.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Other than that, I got a few additional tracks over to J for the last song on the upcoming record. He'd been wrapping his head around what it needed to feel finished for awhile and sent me a message on what he thought. I'm glad he came up with the additional ideas because the new tracks really help it feel like it's complete. We had to cancel our stream last week because J got bit by literally, a whole nest of fire ants. He was gonna power though it (which I'm kind of in awe of) but it was definitely the right call postponing. I'm really excited for y'all to hear the new album! Just a few weeks away!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been able to get in a ton of work on wrapping up the new record. Still have plenty left (finishing the production and mix on the final track and mastering) but can see the finish line. I'm feeling very excited to be able to share all our hard work we've put in on this new record. I'm hoping to start brainstorming and storyboard a new music video for the title track. I've got lots of ideas but I've also gotta make sure what I'm wanting to do is actually doable. Kyle has gotten the cover art to a point to where there is only a few more edits and additions needed which is really exciting. While getting to this point is really exciting it also feels like September just flew by (anybody else feel like that?) and I lost so much time being sick. I am glad to say that I'm feeling 100% now for the most part and am looking forward to the shows we have coming up in October and can't wait to see you guys. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">These past couple of weeks have been weird. I ended up testing positive for Covid-19 2 weeks ago and was "sick" a week before that. I never had a fever or cough. My experience was mostly weird. Being tired and exhausted with a handful of others symptoms including a headache, loss of appetite and stuffy nose. I'm still having some residual tiredness/fatigue. But gaining more energy everyday. My experience with the disease is mostly just bizarre. Since I've been out of commission I haven't been able to do any work I was planning on. Getting back to some of those plans this week including finishing up the last track for the new album and story boarding our new music video. I'm excited to be able to get back to all of it. I'll keep you guys updated the best I can with any progress. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">When I was a kid a took piano lessons from a a lady at church but I think I learned the most from my mom. After I'd get done with practicing my lessons my mom would tell me to put the book down and sit next to me on the bench. "Let's just have some fun. I'll show you some things about piano that I really like." </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It was that time where my head got a break from black and white dots on lines and all the jargon of music theory and I just got to enjoy the way music made me feel. This week a writer friend of mine asked if I could help him out with some background music on some promo for his new book, "Syncronistic." He's releasing it in segments which you can read for free if you solve a puzzle (follow @AshleyIsaacStevens on Twitter).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">He told me he'd like to have a classical or Shakespearean vibe that transitions into something spooky. I instantly thought of an exercise me and my mom would play together sitting next to each other on the piano bench.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Step Into The Ring of Fire...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We went down a YouTube rabbit hole of what well known songs would sound like if they were written in their relative major or minor keys. If you're a musician you probably understand exactly what that means but if you're not familiar, the easiest way to explain it is "What if a sad song sounded happy?' Or, "What if a happy song sounded sad?" </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When Jeff C requested Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," we thought it would be the perfect song to try out this idea. It ended up being one of our favorites and it's even found it's way into the live show!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">While our patrons on Patreon have had access to this music video for a few months we'll be releasing it on YouTube next week! Watch the trailer below. If you can't wait until next week you can unlock it right now along with a ton of others as well as put in your suggestions on Patreon!</span></p>

It's really coming together and I think I about have it wrapped up. I've always been interested in graphic arts but was also really intimidated by it. While having some time off the road it's been a really great journey getting the opportunity to work on a new skill. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">At first, J and I weren't really sure what direction to take with the visuals for the new album but I think we came up with a scene that compliments the overall tonality of the record, balancing realism with fantasy along with carrying some hidden meaning for the both of us. It's our hope that you'll find something new every time you look at it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With that being said, while there's a few things where I can say I'm well seasoned, I'm still a novice in this big, awesome, sometimes head spinning world. I was reminded of an attitude Bob Ross put forth saying he didn't believe in talent. He believed in practicing something that brings you joy. If you've been practicing an art form, no matter what it is, I'd love to see it. We're not one of those bands that particularly enjoys making everything about us. I think art should be about community and if it brings you joy, it will will bring joy to others.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">There has been lots of worry and stress socially concerning what was, what is and what's to come. It can be a bit overwhelming. We are all, these days, expected to fill so many rolls and sort though so much information to try and make the right choices for ourselves, families, and communities. It is so important to respect everyone's decision even if it is at conflict with your own opinions on what is right. Most of us are just trying to do the best we can with the information available to us. I do understand that with this pressure some have also chosen to "check out." I strongly encourage open and honest communication with one another. In times like this we must be there for one another. Reach out to those you love even if it's just to remind them just that you care. Empathy is key to finding a true understanding and all of us coming together to a resolve in which works for all of us and what we are willing to do or not do. I am so grateful for each and every one of you no matter what your views or opinions are. This world is so abundantly beautifuly diverse. Do me a favor and remind someone today that you love them and as always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Music helps. When your whole world is going to hell, music helps. When you’re in the edge of a perfect moment, music helps. When you have a mundane task to complete, music helps. When you miss someone so bad it hurts, music helps. When you’re sober, music helps. When you’re altered, music helps. When you’re just so fucking tired of people arguing about vaccines, music helps.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I don’t know what you need this week. I don’t know what you’re going through. I don’t have any let alone all of the answers for you. However, I think the only truly meaningful moments I’ve had making music is when someone said, “I got ____ going on right now. Your music helped.”</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Music’s good like that. Put something on. And if you find you’re in need of suggestions here’s our YouTube: <a contents="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">http://youtube.com/roshambeaux</span></a></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was great getting to shoot our cover of Tom Petty's "Honey Bee." I wasn't really ever in to Tom Petty but hearing the song for the first time instantly made me want to take a stab at it. J showed me some of the footage edits and I think it's gonna be pretty cool! I'm really grateful for our supporters on Patreon, not only for helping us come up with content but helping us keep the lights on too!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, I'm working on the cover art for the next album which will serve as the thumbnail for the album download but eventually will be the CD cover art as well. J and I had a lot of back and forth on the concept for it's design but I think we finally solidified something we're both really excited about. When we write songs, a lot of times we come up with characters, sets and plots to help us keep our creativity flowing. We always would laugh, moan and say stuff like, "Aw man, and no one's ever going to see that!" I think this album cover idea is a way to show some representations of those weird writing days. I'll put up some pieces on Patreon here soon, so y'all can see it. I'm really pumped!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Here we are again another week gone. I've finally finished the new cover video for our patrons and it's time to get back to finishing this last track for our new record. It's one that truly hits home and honestly is a little scary to revisit. As a musician when you put so much of what you go through into the songs you play it's like you relive certain situations over and over again as you play them. Wether that be happy, sad, erotic, traumatic or whatever. In a way it can be therapeutic. But also, as some of you know, revisiting past traumas is also very scary and this one really hits me. I am looking forward to putting this one behind me and can't wait to share this new record with all of you. Kyle and I both have put our hearts and souls into it. It truly is our most "real" record we've done. With how things are going we seem to be right on schedule for an October release and as soon as we have a date we will let you know. As I'm working on getting all the music mixed and mastered Kyle and I sat down a week or so and finally came up with our cover art concept and he is working tirelessly to bring our ideas to life. If you're on Patreon we will be showing some of the pieces as they come together. We hope that you are looking forward to this record as much as we are. To those of you on Patreon I truly hope you enjoy the bizarre video we just put out for you. Much love. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was March 2020 when we had to cancel our tour and hunker down to try and help stop the spread of Covid 19. Like most of us, we figured "Stay At Home Orders," "Quarantining," "Masking" and "Not Going To Concerts," would only last a couple of weeks. We had no idea it would be 529 days until our next show.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was getting a knot out of a pinched nerve.<br>It was a long stretch after being in a space too small.<br>It was a deep breath after being submerged for longer than expected.<br>It was a toke after a long day.<br>It was blood returning to a sleeping limb.<br>It was a gentle hand pushing on the small of your back.<br>It was tired eyes staring at a lover gone for a moment too long.<br>It was antihistamine on high pollen count afternoon in Georgia.<br>It was a dream once you've figured out you're dreaming.<br>It was the fear of failure tempered with the fear of inaction.<br>It was Dejavu.<br>It was foreign.<br>It was every muscle being sore but the sorest was from smiling.<br>It was new car smell.<br>It was "The Price Is Right," & Cough Medicine on a day off sick from school.<br>It was that extra hour of sleep on Daylight Savings Time.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">What an amazing weekend we had having our first show back and being able to see a bunch of you guys! It's feels amazing getting back to the swing of things. I was a bit nervous but also excited. Once I saw those of you that came out all the nerves fell away and man did we have a good time. On top of that this week we are announcing custom options for the bracelets I make and also an option to send me a personal email if you want something totally custom wether that be a bracelet, necklace, or something totally different. I'm really excited to see what ideas you guys might have and am looking forward to making your ideas come to life. So if you don't see an option on there for you just click the link on our artwork page and ask about what you're looking for. Also, I was finally able to finish out new cover for Patreon. We will be shooting the video for it this week and am looking forward to bringing some of our ideas for it to fruition. I love and appreciate each and everyone one of you. If you listen to our songs, tune in to our streams, wear my jewelry, come out to our shows, join our Patreon, or just read these weekly blogs. You truly mean the world to me. Much love. </span><br>-J</p>

<p><span class="font_large">PA actually stands for "Public Address System" (which we always thought it meant "Power Amplification"). It's a term that basically means amps and speakers. Well... we got a new one! Our last rig, while still in great working condition, just wasn't quite enough for what we have coming up. Our first show back is outdoors, so we went over to Kyle's and tested it out. One of the main speakers was damaged in shipping but thanks to our rep, Tanner at Guitar Center its replacement is on the way. Talk about cutting it close!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Another busy week. Prepping for returning to live shows, purchasing our new PA(testing it coming to find out one of the mains was a dud. Should be picking up the replacement this week), our live stream this past Sunday, and working to finish the new cover for Patreon had me balls to the wall. Filled with excitement but also a bit of anxiety has me reminded to plan a few down days this week to help keep me grounded. On our way back from testing the live gear at kyles the van started having some hard shift issues. Hoping it was just a fluke but a hard reminder that she will need more work to keep going or we will need to find something new. With our finances strained after all the repairs and replacements of our gear we are trying to figure out what we can do. With the good comes the bad and it's humbling to recognize the universe still has it's balancing scales at the ready. I know we will figure it out. It's just one last challenge we must face. We are now, more than ever, so grateful for those of you that continue to support what we do via Patreon or that just send us a little love on Paypal. We couldn't do this without you and you make this dream a reality. We love each and everyone of you. You know who else I love? .......Anyone who reads this. I truly hope you've had an amazing week. Let me know down in the comments what you've been up to and what you may be looking forward to. Much Love -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I'm stoked! Is still cool to say or am I getting old? A friend of mine sent me a message of an old photo from my teenage days that read "I can't believe it's been almost 20 years." I couldn't believe it either but at the same time I could. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I saw an old boss of mine not that long ago and they said, "Man, you haven't changed a bit." The funny thing about it, was I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a flattering compliment or ribbing insult. I've heard it said, "If you can't look back on your past and say 'I was so stupid!' You're probably still stupid."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'll admit, I've done lots of stupid things but aside from my loved ones, playing and writing music has always been the way I've been able to stay grounded. Music forces you to self reflect, even if you don't know it's happening. It makes you work on yourself. This past year lots of musicians have had to play music just for themselves. I've had a lot of my musician friends tell me they want to give it up because if it's not on a stage in front of people it feels pointless. I know how that feels. I don't necessarily think it's pointless but I do think it can be be scary working on yourself when you feel alone. I think a lot of musicians that made it out of the pandemic and back into a beginning of normalcy are stronger for it as long as they've kept the music going for themselves. I feel a little stage fright for our first show back but something tells me as soon as I see you, I'll get over it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We had so much fun last week unveiling some new songs from our upcoming album "Existential Threat," coming out in October! We're gonna do another live stream this Sunday. If you've watched the last two live streams on Facebook, you may have noticed we've had a few technical difficulties with the stream. We've checked our settings and we've determined that YouTube's platform should provide a smoother output.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Been a busy week. Rehearsals, live streams, planning, repairs, and upgrades. But it feels good to finally be back in action. We are working on getting a few more shows on the books (Unplugged and full) and are working to balance that with what we have been able to do online via stream and Patreon while also staying grounded with plenty of self care time. This week I've started on prepping the new cover for this month and it's one neither of us had heard before from a very well known artist. Very excited to see how it turns out and we hope you are too. We've also decided to do another stream this Sunday. This time we will be doing it on YouTube so be sure to follow us over there if you haven't already. It's better suited for what we are trying to do and I realize that not everyone does Facebook. So this will be a way to make sure everyone who wants to tune in can. Let us know if you guys have any songs you'd like to hear us do this Sunday in the comments below. Something else else I'm really excited about is we are upgrading our PA system. We went in last week and traded in basically everything we could to earn some credit to go towards it and now we are patiently awaiting it's arrival so we can go down and pick it up. It's all been a bit much to juggle but exciting at the same time. Trying to remind myself to pace it out and let it flow. I hope you are having a fantastic week and can't wait to see you August 7th for our first full show back in over a year and a half. To anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Hey Y'all! It's been a busy week! I've finished up the arrangement work for the next cover request video and sent the tracks over to J. J sent me a text asking for a "higher standard harmony" for one of the tracks and I thought he was telling me all the past stuff was awful, lol. I later realized he meant "standard" as in "what we normally do." We had a good laugh about it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">We've done a lot of upgrades to the live rig. I'm really excited for the live in person shows we have coming up. I'm normally a pretty introverted person and playing live always helped me come out of my shell. I've really missed it! I can't wait to see y'all!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">We have tons of music coming out planned for the rest of the year. We're doing another livestream this week to show you a little peak on what we've been working on. It feels good to have things be fast paced again after this last year and a half. I think last year was a hard lesson in balance. One day I hope I'm wise enough to learn all my lessons the easy way but I think there is a certain kind of joy that can only be found on the other side of struggle. I'm grateful I get to experience it!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We know we blast Patreon a lot but honestly, it's really the only way indie artists like us make money when we're not able to tour. If you dig what we're doing, please consider supporting us on Patreon for just $5 a month. You'll get early access to our cover videos and help us choose which ones we put out, watch concerts on rewind, get exclusive behind the scenes photos and videos of us working in the studio and special deals on merch. It's kind of like tipping the band at a show only you can hear that song again anytime you want!</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Fixing Stuff...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last week we pulled out the live show 18'' subwoofers and ran a few tests on them. They've seen a lot and honestly have been pushed beyond what they were built for. We've determined that they need to be replaced. It's not always the best feeling when you have unexpected bills but it's a great feeling knowing we've grown beyond our live rig and need to make some upgrades. We'll let you know what we end up with! If you're into live gear, let us know which subwoofers you like. We love nerding out about live sound!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Our last live stream we didn't do any piano songs because we had to mix in the new piano and make sure everything was working. We're happy to say it sounds incredible! We'll be sure to play some piano tunes on this next live stream coming up this week!</span></p>

<p>On Tuesday we did a little impromptu live stream with some new acoustic gear. J got a few new pieces for our unplugged shows we have coming up. We had a few technical hiccups but we're happy to say they're resolved so the next stream should be smooth! We found out that Facebook only allows 30 frames per minute (so 60 makes it struggle).

<p><span class="font_large">Before we get to it, we just want to say thanks to our Patreon supporters. When we first started playing music together we'd hit up the local bars and learned play as many covers as we could remember. It always felt great when someone would put $5 in the jar and request a song we knew how to play. Now on Patreon, we've been able to recreate some of those moments from our roots every month with an exclusive performance video based on the requests of our supporters. It's so much fun and if we don't know it, we can take a little time to learn it. If you got a fiver to tip the band please consider helping us come up with the next cover video on Patreon alongside:</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This past week has been a lot of fun. Kyle and I got to join our good friend Jeremiah again for a jam gig. Kyle was on keys and I was on percussion. Highlight was definitely Kyle experimenting with organ sounds and at the end of one of the songs he hit a hard key expecting me to close out the song but I just couldn't stop laughing...lol. it was such a good time. Plus we were able to do a live stream this past Sunday. I think we may be bringing those back more on the regular. We had some issues with our internet speeds being throttled but we hope to have that resolved very soon. I actually just had them out here the week before.....our internet provider can be super frustrating. But like I said we will be trying to make them a more regular thing. Possibly, we will be bringing back our live van philosophy on YouTube as well. Just gotta get these internet issues resolved. Can't wait to be able to perform more and see you guys at the upcoming shows in August! Hope all of you are doing well and have an amazing week. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Been spending this past week finishing up on our new cover video. I'm really digging how this one is turning out and by the time you read this it should be available or available shortly on our Patreon page. It's funny how in tune you guys are. It seems that every cover we've done has been a reflection of some aspect of where we are mentally that month. I am truly grateful for all of you and hope you enjoy this one. On another note I've finished all of my moving and settling in except hanging a few pictures. The new studio space is finally coming together. I am grateful for all these experiences life has given me. Change most of the time seems scary. But without discomfort it is sometimes hard to grow. I hope you all have an excellent week and hope to see you all this Sunday at our first live stream back where we will be playing a bunch of new stuff as well as some oldies. To anyone who reads this you rock my world! -J</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 22.399999618530273px;">It was a lot of fun working on this month’s song request. Thanks Nancy for reminding me I really love this song. I hope we do it justice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.399999618530273px;">This song reminds me of wanting to be like my heroes and realizing they have struggles too. This old piano has seen almost 7 years on the road but this week it’s time to put it up to make room for its replacement. It’s a little bittersweet. Technology has come along way since I picked this one up and the new piano coming this week is an upgrade putting it mildly but it kind of feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. A lot of joy, frustration and tears have hit these keys. A lot of songs have been written. I feel a little silly, having a hard time letting go of this dead keyed, misfiring paperweight but it’s true. Do y’all ever feel that way?</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week we've made some set up changes at J's home studio and are working on the next video cover request. We actually used to do this one back when we first started playing together so it's cool getting to reimagine it in a studio setting.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I've been doing a lot of moving this week. We have set up a new studio space and are in the process of getting the room treated properly. Kyle was a huge help with moving everything last Thursday. We spent all day going back and forth and I am truly grateful for all his help. I'm hoping being in this new space can help inspire new ideas and motivate a new work flow. This months cover will be shot in the new space and I'm hoping we get to shoot that for you guys this week. With all the moving comes deep cleaning. I find something very comforting in getting things nice, neat and all cleaned up. They say cleanliness is next to godliness. But for me having everything cleaned up and organized helps me focus and keep my thoughts more organized. How is it for you? Do you like things clean or are you an organized mess kinda person? Let me know in the comments below. To anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up with Kyle...</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/f76d9228ab0847aa8314bf9d6be622a4af613a6c/original/img-0218.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Hi, my name is Kyle... and I'm sorry.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I saw this meme that was floating around on Instagram and Facebook that was a list of things you shouldn't say you're sorry for. I think I understood what the artist was wanting to portray but it kind of rubbed me the wrong way.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It seems like we're living in a society that is putting more value on self-care and self-confidence, which I'm very grateful for. However, I think some of those notions can be harmful when that self-care isolates us or causes us to ignore other people's feelings entirely. Saying "I'm sorry," is not an admission of guilt or wrong doing. It's not synonymous with, "I apologize." I imagine funerals would be really awkward if they were: "I heard about your Aunt passing... I apologize."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Saying that you're sorry means you're attempting to feel someone's struggle, pain, discomfort or inconvenience. We tell kids to say they're sorry when they've done something wrong but I think that's one of the worst things we can do. We can't command someone else to feel. We can only inspire them. Otherwise, we're telling ourselves "It's ok to be fake." It turns us into drones that say things like, "Let me know if there's anything I can do," or "I'll pray for you," with no real intent of lifting a finger. On top of that, making someone say they're sorry in place of an apology takes meaningful connotation away from the expression. In Spanish, if you want to say you're sorry you say "Lo Siento," which in English means "I feel it." Many times the "it," may refer to guilt but it's meant to be something more. The "it" is what the other person is experiencing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We are by no means inherently responsible for other people's feelings but I think we make a better world when we choose empathy over selfishness. I think it's ok to say you're sorry when you've done nothing wrong. In fact, I think that's when it's most important. As a musician, I'm always trying to find a way to connect with someone I'm just meeting for the first time and with the marvels of modern technology, people I may never meet. It burdens me to see a culture that seeks to quietly strip away those very real and human connections in the name of standing up for yourself. Never apologize for being in the shower when someone calls. Never apologize for not meeting an expectation that is out of your control. Never apologize for speaking your mind in disagreement... but I think it's ok to say you're sorry for those things. I think it's ok to recognize other people's struggle even when those struggles just seem like minor inconveniences at best. Say you're sorry often but for what it really means. I think if we can do that, we can create a world where the need for apology is rare.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 22.399999618530273px;">This week J and I have been going over our live mix for some upcoming shows. When we were on the road our live mix was often a lot of guess work if the venue didn’t have a sound engineer to help us set levels at sound check. However, those instances seemed less and less as we went along.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.399999618530273px;">We’re only a two piece but we always wanted a bigger sound than just guitars and drums. With J’s electronic station he’s able to play bass and synth while playing drums. It’s a lot of fun to watch on stage but I imagine it’s pretty cool getting to sit back and watch him manage all that sound. I’d always tell he needed to do a song on his own so I’d get a break but honestly it’s was fun just getting to seeing him piece stuff together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.399999618530273px;">With all that going on it can be a huge headache mixing on the fly so most of our tech work has been making sure all the new songs’ instrumentation sits well with itself. It feels like we’ve recorded our live set 100 times this week tweaking everything (but it’s probably been more like 8 or 9). Everything is sounding really great! Can’t wait for y’all to hear it! We’re thinking about scheduling a live stream before these upcoming shows. Let me know if that’s something you’d tune in for!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been trying to allow myself actual R&R. I'm the worst when it comes to letting myself relax and truly not be tangled up in working on something. Even when I find myself not doing anything my mind is so occupied with thought and ideas and sometimes that in it self will cause me to not be as efficient when I actual do sit down to work. So I've decided that once a week I'm gonna do an Epsom salt bath and at least every other week I'm gonna do a fire. When it comes to the bath sometimes I forget how freaking big I am....lol. fitting a 6' 4" man into a small shower tub is a really funny thing to see I'm sure. But I make it work. Maybe one day I'll splurge and get myself a big enough tub and as for the fire...there must be something primary built into our brains to find comfort and relaxation by a fire. To just stare in the flames and think about nothing. It's truly one of my favorite things. Even when it comes to social fires. It's gotta be my top favorite way to spend time with friends and family. Sit around and tell stories, spitball ideas, or just be with one another. Do you guys have favorite ways to relax? What works for you? Let me know down on the comments. Maybe I'll give some of them a try. As always....to anyone who reads this I love you very much! Take care of yourselves even if that's just sitting by a fire for a couple hours to clear your mind. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Been hard at work trying to plan for our up coming stream, shows, and new record. I'm happy to say things are progressing nicely and can't wait to share everything with you. I've got one more song to finish putting my parts on and mix it. After that it's on to mastering. It seems so crazy how fast the time just flies by. But sometimes in the moment things just seem to come to a halt. I've been trying to make the best out of some other personal things that I've been dealing with and try and stay focused on the music. Music is the healer of the soul. Just try it sometime.....no matter how bad you feel or broken, put on a good song, turn it up, and push yourself to move to it or even put on something that matches that down mood and find a relationship and connection with it and realize this human experience is so complex and we as people are all going through or have gone through something similar. You're not alone, you're gonna make it, pull through, and overcome. Changes can be hard but as our inner battles rage on with our bodies desiring comfort and our minds pushing for growth, we will find balance. We will find purpose. I am so grateful for each and everyone of you who have continued to support us through these crazy times. Our only hope is that we can give you a little something to make you dance and know you're not alone. To anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">The new album is almost completed. I finished my pick ups last week. It's a great feeling! J's been hard at work mixing and we have one very new one called "Last Mistake," we've decided to add. It was kind of like that old fable, Gift of the Magi. I came into the studio with a motif I'd been humming and told J I thought I had a good idea for a song but I only had a chorus. J looked at me and said, "That's funny, I wrote some lyrics last night. It seems like a good verse but I don't know what to put it on."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">It ended up being a strange fit. We were both coming from entirely different head spaces at the time but I think it's gonna be one of the realist songs on the album (at least lyrically). It's great when things like that click. I was reminded that it's important to lean on others and to surround yourself with people that help round you. You may not have what it takes on your own but I think that's part of what makes life beautiful. We're all a piece of something. I don't claim to understand it and when I'm honest with myself, I don't think I'm meant to yet I feel it's there just the same.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">Don't stress when you come up short. It can turn into something beautiful if you let it. Being incomplete is a part of who we all are.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Hey RoshamFAM!</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Every month we take new song requests from our Patreon supporters. We then learn, produce and perform one of those songs and put our spin on it. This month's cover, "Living in America," by James Brown was requested by Steve B. Thanks Steve! You picked a good one! If you want to get in on the voting you can subscribe to our Patreon page at <a contents="patreon.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>patreon.com/roshambeaux</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Before we show you the clip you just HAVE to watch this Barbara Walters interview with James Brown! It's HILLARIOUS! One day we hope to have enough songs to answer every interview question with a song title!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We're in the pick up stage of completing our upcoming record. Pick ups are when we comb over anything we may have missed and re-track anything that's needed before mastering and sending it off for distribution and print. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last year, we released a single called, "Neighbors." Reviewing for pick ups, we noticed a little hum in the vocal tracks so we've decided to re-track them before releasing this album. While "Neighbors" is most likely the simplest song that we'll be on the record, it's been the most challenging for me vocally. It's funny how that works. I was really happy with the original takes and was a little stressed about recreating them line for line. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When we record music we're not trying to capture notes and emotion, we're capturing a moment in time that includes all of the emotion, struggle and lessons we've learned up until that moment. I struggled a good bit this week trying to recreate a moment from almost a year ago when we first wrote the song. After a whole day of tracking, I wasn't happy with it. It sounded forced. It sounded dull. It sounded like I was singing but I wasn't there. I finally came to realize that, that moment was gone. Frustrated, I left it alone for another day.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The next day I decided that I'd sing the song in the moment: not trying to recreate that "perfect" take but singing it for what it means for me now. I'm happy with it. For me, I don't think there is such a thing as the perfect take but I do think that there can be honest ones. I know not everyone records music but I hope that you'll find a way to not worry about perfect moments when they cost real ones.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This next album is called "Existential Threat" and is the summery of our lives as full time musicians over the past few years (and what a few crazy years it's been). I can honestly say it's my best work and I know J can say the same. Look for Existential Threat Fall 2021. I've gotten a few full shows on the books to pair with our album release and working on adding more. We'll announce where we'll be as Fall approaches. If you want to know what those dates are sign our mailing list at roshambeauxmusic.com/email-list and you'll be the first to know!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This past week Kyle and I were able to rekindle some old feelings of just playing, having a good time and jamming with friends. We are super grateful for our good friend Miah for inviting us out to join him and a few others to jam for a wonderful group of people by the river. It was such a pleasure to be able to see some old friends and to be given the chance to just jam some tunes. After the show we all hung out, shot the shit and Kyle and I both were shown some hula hoop tricks. It's crazy how long it's been for me to have the opportunity to just be in the moment and enjoy the company of others. It's such a blessing that we have one another to share in this crazy experience of life. All of us on different paths, battling different things, a sum of all our own personal experiences. But still able to share in a sense of community and support. I truly am grateful for this life and all it's complexity. I hope you can also find a sense of gratitude for the little things. I find that most of the things we consider "small" are really the true blessings in this life. To anyone who reads this....I am so grateful for you and love you very much! -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">About 808s N Chill...</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">808 is the fundamental frequency of a kick drum. It's what gives a song it's oomph. Although, we're a rock band at heart, we wanted to pay homage to our RnB roots. 808s is a remix album of some of our favorite songs we've written over the years put in a chill, relaxing setting. Throw it on when you need to study, focus or just plain relax. We hop you dig it!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week has really brought forth thoughts of direction. Which way to go or how to get there. Will I get there? The one thing that always stays constant is the music. It means everything to me. Creating it, writing it, producing it, and performing it. No matter where the universe decides to take me I'll always hold on tight to my one true love, music. It is my therapist, my care giver, my rock and it is who I am. This will never change. I'm so grateful to be able to experiment with all kinds of aspects of it and why I am very excited that we are finally getting our latest EP 808's N Chill Vol.1 out on Spotify and apple music. We waited for a while, not sure if it was the right move. But now it's available everywhere you get your digital tunes. Go and check it out. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much. Stay true to yourself. Be who you are. The universe made you this way for a reason. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We have some new artwork at <a contents="roshambeauxmusic.com/artwork" data-link-label="Artwork" data-link-type="page" href="/artwork"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>roshambeauxmusic.com/artwork</strong></span></a>. J's put a some new creations out this week and has even brought back a few new versions of a few items that were sold out. Take a look!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Monk</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c05aeec7ea1c164a977c397043058f77b5349a1a/original/187237165-577607006539705-1196518715082553465-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Monk is made from Rudraksha seeds native to India, Indonesia & Nepal. These seeds are often associated with the Hindu god Shiva, the one who creates, protects and transforms the universe. The Rudraksha or "Tears of Shiva," are often used as prayer beads and are said to safeguard the wearer from negative energy. The Monk is strung with beautiful strong white silk, adorned with a silver plated accent bead and fastened with an antique metal magnetic clasp. </span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Terra</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/19e0ab72109378699df4581ca7d0fb13fcc64565/original/185289704-216949839954715-5098682222644838395-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Terra takes its name from Latin meaning "Earth," and features Malachite and lava stone. Aptly named for the benefits of grounding, Malachite is said to protect the wearer from radiation and electromagnetic pollution. This particular bracelet differs from its predecessor by featuring an antique metal magnetic clasp.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Hidden Treasure</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b71d34c63166fa02640b07726e4b7ed630a575f3/original/186498539-477539893527028-2206142153211750570-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Another favorite in our collection, this new Hidden Treasure features a window style magnetic locket with black striped agate beads with antique metal accents strung together with high quality black bamboo cord and fastened with a heavy duty magnetic clasp. Like its orbed counter part, this particular Hidden Treasure necklace is meant to be worn as an intention necklace by placing a written personal intention to encourage independence, self support and exertion of one's capabilities thoroughly.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Talisman of Creative Flow</span></strong></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The Rune burned on this Dakota wild deer shed antler, "LAGUZ" means, "Water" in its original Proto-Germanic language. Like flowing water, the intention for the wearer is to harness creativity, to be in the moment and manifest what it brings to you. The gem fastened to the horn is locally sourced clear crystal quartz. The quartz, a universal crystal: Believed by many cultures to assist in manifestation and awakening intuition, in the way one finds themselves in the moonlight. The Talisman of Creative Flow hangs from its wearer comfortably with a simple adjustable leather cord.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Talisman of New Beginnings</span></strong></p>

Amethyst is believed to bring soothing dreams, bringing the dreamer closer to the Devine and extending those dreams into waking life. The Rune "INGUZ" inscribed on this talisman means "Seed," fitting for the intention of new beginnings, encouraging its wearer to grow and nurture their intentions like a seed destined to grow into a mighty tree.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">"Communicate with The Dead," this death Mala features a handmade cotton tassel, high quality black bamboo cord and 108 beads made from white Howlite, black lava stone with red Howlite accents, symbolizing those who have left their bones behind yet leave their ancestral blood to those who still remain. This Mala's Guru or Teacher bead is made from dead stones, reconstituted into the form of a skull. The Mala's inherent intention is for meditation, however, The Communicate Cum Mortuis is specifically made for those who wish to draw strength from their ancestors and the spirits they have left behind.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Pentagram Earrings</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/0d7fc424bb5316189249c47801a7cb17962dfae3/original/183641756-348293263310614-5625226956124694287-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In the modern world, the Pentagram is often misrepresented for demonic or devilish symbology. In Ancient Babylonia, the Pentagram symbolized mutual recognition and well being. During the middle ages, early Christians believed the Pentagram to represent the 5 senses and the 5 wounds of Christ. Later, during the Renaissance, the Pentagram took on a more "magical" connotation viewed as representing the 5 Neoplatonic elements. These Pentagram earrings are available in both silver plated and antique bronze styles.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I'm proud to announce that we are launching my Etsy shop! I've been blown away by all the interest in my new hobby and have decided to make it more widely available. This couldn't be possible with out your support and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you. I'm also grateful for the help and support from Kyle. He has helped me with writing up descriptions for each piece and also made me a sweet looking logo that he rendered from a simple hand drawing that I had done. I hope you take the time to go over and check it out at etsy.com/shop/DracoMoonCreations With that being said there has been zero slow down in the music dept. We are so close to completion of our new record I can taste it. Just have some reworking to be done on one of the tracks and we are finishing up a brand new one. Then on to mastering. Also we are planning and have in the works a full live stream soon. We've been putting in the hours prepping everything and trying to get some of the kinks worked out in some of the new material. Be on the look out for an announcement involving that very soon. To anyone that reads this I love you and am so grateful for you and hope you have an amazing week. Much love. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">It's been a great week so far! J's made some really cool new jewelry pieces this week and it's been great getting to help with presenting them. He sent over some hand drawn designs that I've been able to convert to graphics. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">We've gotten the requests for our next performance video. Thanks to everyone that keeps making suggestions. Right now it's between two so I've decided to work on both of them. I feel like the more time you can live your life with new music the better. I've been getting some pretty crazy ideas for one of them in particular. Sometimes when that happens, I get a little nervous, even taking them to J but I'm grateful he's there to reassure me that pushing yourself is a good thing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">A friend of mine is moving this week so I've been helping him out in lieu of working out. I thought I'd feel guilty about skipping leg day. I want to let you know, helping friends move DEFINITELY counts as leg day ( back and arms too), lol! To be honest, when I committed to it I was a little worried I might get less done with our music projects this week but it's actually kind of help me organize my time. Someone told me most of us don't lack time, we lack clarity. It's so easy to get caught up in our own heads. We forget that we've evolved to help each other. I'm grateful I was reminded of that lesson this week. Help your friends when you can. It's a work out. It's worth it.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Hey RoshamFAM!</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We released the trailer for our performance video of "Those Shoes" by The Eagles. Every month we take requests to learn a new song and perform it in our studio. You can put in your requests <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Contact Us" data-link-type="page" href="/contact-us"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>.

<p><span class="font_large"> We actually never heard the song before until Renee T told us she wanted to hear us cover it. Here's the Trailer.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been finishing up on some stems (or groups of recordings) at home to get over to J for the next album. I buddy of mine had a sweet Fender Twin combo amp that he's letting me borrow and these guitar tracks are perfect for it. I've been digitally modeling that specific amp for a few clean tones lately, so it's really cool to get to use it in an analogue setting. I put a little behind the scenes video up on Patreon for our supporters. If you're a guitar nerd, PLEASE brag about your rig in the comment section. I could talk about that stuff for hours!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Another friend of mine is releasing a book this year so I've been getting to spend some time helping him with some of his visual and promo ideas for its release. I've had to YouTube a lot of "how to" videos this week but it's been great getting to learn some new tricks with graphic and video design.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> J's been working on a few knew jewelry pieces so I'm putting together some logo art so we can expand on those concepts. It's also time to start conceptualizing the artwork for the next Roshambeaux full album. I've gotten a few things done on it. I think it should look super sleek! I'm really excited for it!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">J's got me hooked on the OMAD diet. It's been a little over a week and it's really affected my day to day in a positive way. It's definitely not for everyone but it helps me see my environment with a lot more clarity. I hope y'all are well!</span></p>

I was finally able to get Kyle to send over his parts he was working on at home...lol and I should have it finished before the end of the week! So glad to see how far the new album is coming along. I'm so grateful to all of you out there waiting patiently as we tidy up all the loose ends and get it put together for you. I promise you won't be disappointed. This is definitely our best/ most honest record to date. I also finally finished up the talismans I was working on. Only 2 turned out the way I envisioned. But we will be putting them up on the site later this week. So keep a look out. Also a big thanks to everyone who ordered other pieces from us last week. I hope they find you well. It has meant so much to see the response we've been getting on these and I plan to make sure I restock everything that's out at the moment. We let you know about that too. I hope you all are having a wonderful week and to anyone who reads this I love you very much!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I was overwhelmed to see the interest in the jewelry we released last week. I'm so happy that some of you really connected with the pieces and decided to pick some up. I hope you enjoyed my personal letter I sent along with the package. I truly am grateful for you. For those of you that have asked about certain pieces that are out of stock, I will be making new similar pieces and posting them up as soon as they are done. With the nature of most of the materials I decided to use, they are all one of a kind. So,there will be new photos of each one as I finish them. I'm currently working on a set of 3 talismans made from raw gems and shedded antlers. I'm hoping to have them done soon: Just trying to get this burning technique down first.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I've also been finishing up the edits on this months cover video and working on upgrading my side of things with the live gear. The video is now finished for those of you on Patreon and Exclusive Access. I really hope you enjoy it. It was a great request of a song I had never heard before. As for the upgrades I've been working to dial in everything to polish the sounds so that once we are able to get back at full live shows everything will be perfecto. New gear days are always exciting and can't wait to have this all figured out. Thanks to everyone for your continued support and love. All of you mean the world to us and I am grateful everyday to know you're out there listening, watching, and wearing what we create. To anyone who reads this...I love you very much.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b94ba0f4ecd0b8815f899e977f7e9104f361f5b7/original/182835718-4267597473292883-94770542831902370-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I met God this week... She's funny.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As a musician it can be really frustrating dealing with inspiration. J and I like to call it "The Muse." It seems like anything good that we come up with doesn't seem like we came up with it on our own. It's somewhat of a helpless feeling, waiting for Her to speak and when She does, rushing to find a piece of paper or a guitar before she fades away and is gone until the next time She decides to wreck your day.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">J and I have been chatting a lot this week about "Control." He's been committed to eating one meal a day for about 3 months now and has been bugging me to try it. I was leery about it but he kept insisting it's one of the best things he's done for himself in awhile and at the very least wanted my opinion on it. I'm about 4 days into it and I think I'm going to stick with it. It's been a little rough adjusting to it but aside from the few initial minor headaches, and fogginess, I think I'm adjusting just fine.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've met a few people that rave about the physical benefits of OMAD but I've discovered a lot of mental benefits this week to it as well, particularly as a musician. I've found that controlling the time I refuel my body, forces that control on the rest of my day. In the developed world, most of us are fortunate to not "feel the need for food," we "feel the desire to eat." I somewhat already knew this but what I didn't realize is that this disconnection with our needs obscures our sense of what we want. For me as a musician, "I want to write good music today," replaces "I need to meet The Muse today." For others it may be, "I want to be a good Christian today," replaces "I need to meet Christ today."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Through something as simple as OMAD, I've discovered that this Muse doesn't wait in some distant realm until She decides to strike at an inopportune moment. She's always there. I just don't always feel the need to listen. At the risk of sounding a little crazy, I've made a point to meet Her every day this week. She speaks. She's funny.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Made from black striped agate with antique metal accents this locket style pendant necklace is designed for the wearer to express and realize intention. The orb style pendant features an openable vessel to hold an intention note or essential oil diffuser. Black agate has been said to encourage independence, self support and exertion of one's capabilities thoroughly. This necklace is handmade with a high quality black bamboo cord and antique toggle clasp.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The Mala is made from the seeds of the Rudraksha Tree, known as "The Tears of Shiva," thought to be the original Tree of Life and worn by monks, yogis and spiritual seekers for over 3,000 years. Similar to the Rosary, Malas are used for repetitive prayer, meditation or reciting mantras, traditionally, 108 times for the 108 seeds adorning this necklace. This Mala has been meticulously crafted with fine silk cord and a hand made 100% cotton tassel. The Guru, or teacher bead that crowns the tassel is silver plated. Rudraksha seeds are said to bring peace, wisdom and relief from insomnia.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The Terra takes its name from Latin meaning, "Earth," and features Malachite and lava stone. Aptly named for the benefits of grounding, Malachite is said to protect the wearer from radiation and electromagnetic pollution. Additionally, lava stone is often called a "Grounding Stone," helping the wearer ground to the earth below physically, mentally and spiritually. The Terra features a black hemp cord and gun metal toggle clasp.</span></p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/d5b41b8bb9e53ad3c7f80eab8b33a590bf11c787/original/176281296-898349454057510-4653792851786655281-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Caeli features a black hemp cord, gun metal toggle clasp, lava stone and the crystal stone, Howlite. Like the air that surrounds the earth, Howlite is said to bring the wearer a sense of stillness, open mindedness and clarity, particularly for those who struggle with communication. Howlite was discovered in the late 19th century in Nova Scotia by scientist Henry How that brought the crystal to the forefront of geological study. Pure white Howlite is said to reduce stress and bring clarity. The Caeli derives it's name from Latin, simply meaning "Air."</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Ignis means fire, as seen from modern English words like ignite, ignition and igneous. Made from red dyed Howlite and lava stone, red Howlite is known as an "Attunement Stone," helping the wearer make emotional connection to their environment similar to a warrior seeking understanding of the coming battle. Like fire, red Howlite is said to give the wearer energy, fuel one's natural survival instincts and foster healthy use of anger to destroy what must be destroyed and protect what must be preserved.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The Aqua is made from hemp cord, turquoise, lava stone and features and antique toggle clasp. Like calm waters, turquoise is associated with tranquility, enduring love and deep wisdom. Turquoise can be referred to as a scholar stone and is said to bring hope, good fortune and a thirst for knowledge for those who are searching for wisdom. The Aqua aptly takes its name from Latin, meaning, "Water."</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">"Death and Mortality," The Mortem Mortalitas is made from lava stone and the dust of dead stones. Reconstituted into skulls The Mortem Mortalitas serves as a reminder of the wearers mortality for those that understand the urgency of living a meaningful life. "For dust you are and to dust you shall return." This somber bracelet is made with high quality black hemp cord and features a gunmetal toggle clasp.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This beautiful necklace is made from Howlite, pure white bamboo cord, a silver plated toggle clasp and features a rose quartz pendant. Used by the ancient Egyptians in burial, masks fashioned from rose quartz were believed to slow decay, preserve youthfulness in the afterlife and provide a link, so their lover would always be with them. Today, rose quartz is used to symbolize love, self love, the healing that only comes from love and is said to restore trust and harmony between lovers. Rose quartz turns pink when it absorbs titanium at formation, a wonderful metaphor for the strength and power of love.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With Kyle...</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c5f439658907dcbd940005f3806b5dcc16142890/original/119984211-3641649909220979-1349709389236521098-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When I was a kid my mom would always wake me up singing. I don't think I had an alarm clock until I was an adult (or at least a late teenager) and my dad and I would always sing together at night writing parodies of classic rock songs. A lot of people ask me what inspired me to get into the music industry. While there are several more famous people that more than likely had a hand in it as well, it's really because of my parents. One that encouraged me to start my day with music and the other that encouraged me to end it with writing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you ever sing with another person randomly you know you're taking a big chance by ruining the moment by adding harmony without letting the person know. It can be awkward and throw the other person off if you're not careful. I remember the first time my mom did that with me. It felt like the first time you ride a bike without training wheels. You think you got it but you also feel like you're losing control. She said, "You know how the song goes. Concentrate. Pay attention to what YOU'RE doing." After that initial uneasiness, which was a few years if I'm being honest, I fell in love with creating harmonies and how those harmonies made me feel. It locks you in with something outside of yourself while at the same time forcing you to focus on what's within yourself. I've come to find that this principle of harmony exists outside of music. Living in harmony with others has to be created. It's awkward, scary and even embarrassing at first; Most people aren't ready for it but it's worth it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've been woking a lot on harmonies with background vocals this week. I finished up my part arrangements for the next cover we're doing for our Patreon supporters but I also got a call from a friend of mine who needed a sub for his background vocalist and acoustic guitarist. It was great to be able to sit in and support. It had been a really long time since I got to play that part but it really was just like riding a bike in every sense of the expression. I hope you get a chance to focus on creating harmony this week even if it has nothing to do with music. "You know how the song goes."</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been finishing up on preparing our next cover video. I'm super pumped on how this one is turning out. We are scheduled to shoot it this week and I can't wait for you to see/hear it. Also, big news...I've finally finished my first collection of handmade jewelry! Kyle has been working his butt off getting everything set up on the store and it's looking sharp. These are all one of a kind pieces. I really hope you guys can find something that speaks to you, as I've made each piece with a certain intention. This project has really helped me have another outlet to create and flow. It has made it easier to learn to truly enjoy the process. Sitting for hours perfecting certain techniques, selecting stones for certain purposes, tying knot after knot, etc. But in all this, I made these for you. I am grateful for the meditative nature of creation that I experience while making them. But most of all I am grateful I'm finally able to share that same energy with you. And as always....to anyone who reads this....I love you very much and am so grateful for you. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This past week was my birthday. A big high five and thanks for all the love shared through comments and dms. You guys are the best! I usually don't do anything. But this year I decided I'd get all the guys together and have a fire. There is something that connects with us primally about sitting around a fire sharing stories with our friends. Have any of you had a community fire lately? I'm so grateful that everyone made it out. It was a great time. I've also been taking sometime to read outside this past week. Being able to take in the sun and watch nature do its thing while losing yourself in a good book is such a special thing. Lately I've been reading Inner Engineering by Sahdguru. Have any of you heard of this one? As far as creating goes I have been continuing to work on my jewelry to get a few things locked down before I post them up. We have a secret show coming up this Saturday and I plan on bringing a few pieces for sale. So if you want to be one of the first to get a look come check em out. I'll be posting pictures of everything soon. As always, to anyone who reads this...I love you very much -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I've been having a few electrical gremlins at my house this week so it may be time to rewire a few outlets. Home repair stuff can be kind of daunting but I've always enjoyed learning about electricity. That's probably why I'm in an electronic band. It's one of those everyday miracles that we forget about. We've been talking about that a lot lately at the studio. There are lots of mind bogglingly amazing things that happen around us everyday and we can either choose to ignore them or take a moment to stop and enjoy them. I've had a few choice words aimed at a 220v outlet this week but at the same time I'm really grateful for it. Especially, after making a makeshift clothesline for drying clothes while I get this figured out. It's been sunny and I can remember the last time I was this grateful for it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">J's been showing me videos of this guy named Sahdguru. One thing that he said that really hit me is that when someone tells you to, "Just Be" you think you don't have to do anything. "To be," is a verb that requires action. It takes effort. It takes awareness. What we do with that effort and awareness shapes our time that everyday we have a little less of. "Just being" is the greatest thing you can do and really the only thing you truly can do with complete control.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/1a7bf09cdd66a74936a87c8f51bd4eb2dbc928a5/original/175037223-151650843555207-1549616457541454692-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, I'm working on arranging the song for this month's Patreon request. Usually, when we write a song, or in this case redo a song, it's my job to lay out it's bones and make preliminary recordings to get over to J to go over for adding his parts, finalizing tone and overall production. I always really liked this band and can even say they were a major influence growing up, especially concerning guitar. However, I hadn't heard this song until one of our Patrons suggested it. It reminded me that great music is hiding everywhere and doesn't always get attention. The only way for art to have a voice is if you share it with your friends. Sometimes the "B Side" is the best side and I was so so surprised I hadn't heard this song before. Do you have favorite songs like that? If you do I'd love it if you let me know. This great sunny weather has got me itching to make a new jogging playlist. Let me know what you got!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I get my second dose of the Moderna Covid 19 vaccine this week. I didn't have much of a reaction with the first dose (just a sore arm for a day or so). Let me know if you've gotten the vaccine, are planning to get it or have decided to pass. Life is full of polarizing issues and I think the way we get we get past them is by talking about it. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Polarization is a funny concept to me. It seems like for every bandwagon that pops up, there's another one alongside it dedicated to not jumping on the first one. It's not enough to simply not go along with something, there's pressure to be vocal about it. I think humans like things to be black and white. We value our sense of belonging for self preservation more than food or shelter. Belonging helps us survive. More and more, I see our society seems ever increasingly desperate for it. The problem I see, is that when we draw a line in hope of validation we end up becoming more isolated and less moreover, less ourselves. It's ok to disagree. Disagreements lead to solutions but we won't ever get there if we dismiss discourse for the comfort of our own echo chambers.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Other than what's going on inside my own head, I've been thinking about doing some simple live unplugged performance videos. No frills, just something where we have a quiet moment together. Let me know if that's something you'd like to see?</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">After Ted passing away last week things have been pretty somber at home. Walking in expecting to see him, hearing noises you associate, etc. I've been describing them as flash memories, where my memories are programed to expect to see him and soon realizing he's not there. But can swear I saw him for a moment. Let me know if any of you have ever experienced things like this. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Also, a big thanks to everyone who reached out and shared some kinds words or you're own experiences. All the comments and messages you guys really are the greatest and helped me feel not so alone. <br>Determined to stay on a positive path, I've been continuing to grow my ideas for putting out a collection of jewelry that I'm really proud of. I'll be taking good pictures of the pieces and we will be putting a few on our website for sale very soon. So be on the look out for that. Diving into this project has really reminded me of how important it is to just create. No matter what it is and to allow myself to enjoy the process, not just focusing so much on the end results. I'm so grateful for this. Besides that, I've also been working to prepare our full live mix for a super awesome announcement coming soon. Kyle and I both have been working tirelessly to get things another step above what they were. We can't wait to share that news with you soon. Also, an update on the cooking with j episode. I'll be shooting sometime this week and should have it out very soon as well. Thanks for being patient and understanding. And as always to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I lost one of my best friends. He was always there to comfort me when I needed him, to bring a smile on my face when I was feeling down, and the an amazing listener. We noticed last week that something wasn't right with him and made an appointment as soon as we could. Took him in the following day and had all the tests performed so we could figure out what was wrong. The vet and nurse walked in with their heads down after the results came back "it's kidney failure". They explained to me what was to be expected in the coming days and laid out the options....well the one option. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I held it together on the ride home and once my son went into the house I completely fell apart. My heart was broken to pieces. My friend and family member of 9 years was dying and I had just a couple days till we needed to put him down. He made it through the weekend and we spent as much time with him as possible. Telling him what a good boy he was. On the last day he started crying out. The pain had gotten to be too much. We called and had to have them move up the appointment. We took him in and stayed by his side the whole time so he wouldn't go it alone. We wrapped him in his favorite blanket and had his favorite toys right there with him. And as we all held our hands on him and told him it was ok and his suffering would soon be over. He had a moment of calm and his spirit left his body. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Ted, you were my best friend and a positive force in my life. You will be missed and never forgotten. Where ever you are I hope there is an abundance of butt rubs and endless fields to run. To anyone who reads this....I love you very much and I hope that this can serve you as it has me a reminder that death is inevitable. Don't wait. Tell those you love how much they mean to you. Cherish each and every moment for everyday is a gift. -J</span></p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/901be26400d8db4952df820514ba93409a6f98ad/original/screen-shot-2021-04-04-at-8-22-25-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As a musician, it's always difficult making someone else's music your own. You write your own music and hope it connects with people but when you're starting out with an audience that's never heard of you it's hard to get people to want to listen to it. There's a lot of debate on whether playing/producing covers is a "sell out" but personally I feel like sometimes it's the only way of making a connection as an artist to someone you've just met. It's Socratic in a way. "Hey, do you know this song? I do too! Now we have something in common." I think it's something that even wildly successful artists still hold on to. I think it's especially powerful when you're help others see something familiar in a new way. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> I always really liked Johnny Cash. When this month's cover request for "Ring of Fire" came in J and I both knew we wanted to take a stab at it. My immediate thought was to "punk rock it out" but after a few YouTube searches we found that Social Distortion did the best punk rocked out version of the song and we felt like anything we tried along those lines would be an inferior copy so we decided to try something completely different.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A few month's ago I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube of what popular songs would sound like in their relative major or minor keys. If that sound like weird music jargon, major keys are often associated with happy, light and uplifting music while minor keys are associated with melancholy, dark and immersive music. So, when the relative keys are reversed Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" becomes a bubble gum pop song and classic children's songs like "Where The Watermelon Grows," turn into creepy, edgy horror soundtracks, lol. I really wanted to experiment with this concept with Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." After reviewing some music theory I got the basic melodic and chord structures reformatted and took it over to J. I think we ended up coming out with a really cool, emotional version. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Someone once told me, "You don't want your old toys back. You just want to feel the way those toys made you feel again." I think producing cover music can give listeners that feeling. A lot of time's I'll go back and listen to a song I haven't heard in awhile and swear I'm listening to to the wrong song. It just doesn't sound the same to me because I'm not listening to a song; I'm chasing a feeling. Johnny Cash & June Carter gave the world a tremendous volume of real world, raw emotional music. So this version is somber tribute to the legacy they've left behind.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Hey RoshamFAM!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week we finished filming our latest cover music video! Every month we take requests on learning a new cover. Once all the requests are in we sit down and decide which one we think we can pull off in our style. We've had some crazy ones come in over the last year. It's been a lot of fun getting the opportunity to put our spin on some of your favorite songs. It's also helping us frame up our live show for the next tour as soon as we're able to resume. So if you have any ideas on a song you'd like us to make our own let us know in the comment section at the bottom of the page. We always let our supporters on <a contents="Patreon" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Patreon</strong></span></a> and <span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Exclusive Access</strong></span> have priority, so if you're itching to hear your song request and want to support your favorite rocktronic duo in the process, hit us up on Patreon. Just $5 a month gets you access to all the cover videos and priority on your ideas!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Here's a peak at last month's request...</strong></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It's always a lot of fun when you find a cool music venue and the band there plays a song you requested.

<p><span class="font_large">This week has been creation nation in my world. Song production, video shooting, video editing, some bead work, and a few hand sewing projects has really been keeping me busy. Just like many of you this past week was the first week of lawn maintenance for me as well. There is something super zen and gratifying about it. So grateful to be able to have the opportunity to work on all of these things. Kyle has been trying to talk me into putting some of the bead work I've been doing up on our website. Let me know if you guys have any interest in something like that. Also, finally got our taxes done for last year. That's a huge weight lifted. We've got plenty of things in the works for you guys and the new cover video I should have finished in a couple days. Really pumped with all the footage we got for it. Hope all of you are having a great week and are able to take some time out for yourself to create and love yourself. And as always, to anyone that reads this...I love you very much! -J</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><span style="color:null;">What's Up With Kyle...</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><span style="color:null;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/64f833e34472cd43802f3020256fddfe55671e15/original/163233025-4139392912780007-7669812579269635810-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">I think one of the greatest feelings in the world is talking to someone you haven't talked to in a long time and you're able to pick up right where you left off. There's no awkward small talk, there's no fear of judgement or worrying about what you'll say. The conversation just flows naturally, like you haven't spent a day apart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">A childhood friend sent me a message the other day just to check in. Every once in awhile someone will reach out and the conversation is a little clunky. We have have to tip toe around each other for fear that one of us has dramatically changed and we might have to watch what we say. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">It wasn't like this with this friend, even though we hadn't talked in 10 years or more. We caught up quickly on the minor details of what life's been like but we instantly went back to being teenagers. After school, almost everyday we'd meet up with our acoustic guitars and jam. When I was younger, I struggled a lot with self confidence and was always hesitant to play songs I wrote in front of my friends. However, I could hardly wait until school was out to show him what I was working on. I don't remember any of those songs or conversations but I always felt safe. I always felt honored. I wasn't sure if he knew that so I tried to made a point to thank him for it. Honestly, I was sorry it took that long. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When you lay a good foundation, what you build lasts. One of the greatest people I ever met said, "No one ever remembers what you say or what you do but they will never forget how you make them feel." How you make people feel matters. It's what starts meaningful relationships. I was reminded of that this week. You may not see how you change someone's life for the better right away. It may take years for someone to say thanks. Don't let it stop you. It's worth it. It takes everything you have to genuinely love your neighbor but it takes almost nothing to be kind. You can yell and scream all you want but your message will drown in the well of others' feelings. Your words will eventually mean nothing either way but your presence means everything.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Hey RoshamFAM!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week we're working on a brand new cover requested by one of our monthly Exclusive Access supporters! In case you didn't know, we take requests every month for new songs to produce and turn into a performance video. It's been a lot of fun and it helps us to continue challenging ourselves and make new music. We've had some really crazy requests come in over the past few month's. We're excited about this next one! We'll have some sneak peaks available for everyone but you'll need to be a part of either our <a contents="Exclusive Access" data-link-label="Sign Up" data-link-type="page" href="/sign-up"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Exclusive Access</strong></span></a> or <a contents="Patreon" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Patreon</strong></span></a> Fam to see the whole thing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With that being said... If you're reading this we love you. We realize that sometimes a new subscription (even if it's supporting your favorite rocktronic duo) can be a little daunting, especially when so many major music and streaming sites offer a free trial. So, since you're here we'd like to offer a week of <strong>Exclusive Access</strong> to you for <strong>FREE</strong>. No strings. We don't need your credit card info and you don't have to watch some weird sales video. We'd just like you to check it out. If you feel like supporting us after this week go for it! It really helps!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Here's the new content from this month. We had a lot of fun with Nadia M's request.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><span style="color:null;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/fd599cf225aa1fc717424a4725d3a512201e1b74/original/164370935-4139392756113356-3842158613085163001-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">Doesn't it seem like once we get a small reprieve from the latest disaster there's another one lurking in the shadows ready to be blasted on social media? It always seems like there's a new hashtag beckoning you to choose a side or feel guilt for not signaling your virtue, not exposing the latest conspiracy or not showing the world how "woke" you are, even though you may have no intention of applying your unwavering solidarity in a real life scenario.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">With the events of last week sparking new awareness for violence against the Asian American community, I've seen a few people commenting things like, "Oh, I guess Black lives don't matter now, just Asians, lol." "I guess here's another agenda for the sheep to follow." Or even, "Am I still allowed to say ____? Is that PC? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In central Wisconsin, grew up alongside Vietnam War asylum seekers and their kids, when the US promised them a safe place to stay after things didn't go as planned. I've seen Asian hate. It's real. It's disgusting, knowing what my new neighbors had to go through and to see the way they were treated by fellow Americans. Looking back, I realize they had more American spirit than I ever will because they literally had to fight for it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">I'm can't attest to what was going on in the individuals' hearts when creating hashtags like #blacklivesmatter or #stopasianhate . Maybe there is some grand conspiracy that I'm missing. What I can attest to, how I choose to treat people when they tell me they're hurting. If you are kind you will never have to worry about being PC. If you say the wrong thing in kindness, someone will let you know if it hurt them. You won't view their pain as a personal attack. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">Everyday you get to choose what type of person you'll be and what kind of environment you'll help to create. I want to be in a world where pain is alleviated not exacerbated. I want to live in a world where racism is rare and stamped out when detected in its smallest forms. I want to live in a world where love is not a hashtag or a way to get Instagram famous but a practice. I want to live in the world my Asian friends were promised and the one our parents fought for. What kind of a world do want?</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week has been a strange one. Has anyone else noticed any weird vibes lately? I myself have been doing my best to steer clear. So, I've been deep on the studio working on our next monthly cover. This has to be the best one yet or at least my favorite adaptation. Really can't wait till we can share it with you. I've read all the votes in the fam and there is a clear winner. I'll start shooting the video for that very soon. Thanks to all of you that voted in the FAM. I was so happy to see all of you that contributed your ideas and just seeing how many of you had interest in me making a new cooking with J episode was very inspiring. Just a check in, I'm still on one meal a day daily meditation and daily 2 mile walks. I'm down 35lbs and couldn't be happier. It's about time I whipped my shit back into gear both health wise and spiritually. We should be shooting the video for our next cover video sometime this week. So, be on the look out. As always, to anyone who reads this....I love you very much. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We played our first show since the pandemic hit last Friday! We can't wait to add more. We're aiming to add outdoor, socially distant shows this year as long as we can route and perform them safely. It feels like we're finally starting to come out of the tunnel, although we know it will still be a little while until things feels normal again.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/1c7c451c7778923df0477609fe38c317e3da5c64/original/161646890-4119531308099501-6576557228060287198-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It was really great to play a show last week! Being unplugged, it reminded me of when I first started playing music in front of people. It was definitely a rebirth. Thanks to everyone in the RoshamFAM that came out. I'm hoping we can add more. The venue did a REALLY awesome job taking precautions, and honestly, I think it's how shows should be ran even without a pandemic.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I had my first understudy role last week, lol. I was invited to sing, filling in for another artist at the annual Peace Pole Dedication in Northeast GA put on by Nuclear Watch South. The event honors local activists, the U.N. Treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons. This year the event coincided with the 10th anniversary of the ongoing radiological disaster at Fukishima, Japan. It was really great to be around people that want to celebrate peace and fight for practical ways to encourage the use of clean energy.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Besides music, I was able to get away and do a little kayaking. Through the pandemic I've been able to pick up a new appreciation for just being out in the fresh air. There's been a lot of negative things about the last year but I'm grateful to find little pockets of joy. J reminded me last week that joy is a choice and doesn't have anything to do with what's going on outside of yourself. I hope you're able to make time for joy this week. It's worth it. We die and stuff.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This past week we played our first show back. It was a pleasant experience being able to jam some of our new songs acoustically. Honestly can't wait till we can do a full show with them. A big thanks to everyone who came out and hung out with us. I know a few of you traveled to do so and that means so much to me. We are already trying to get more of these outdoor socially distanced kind of things lined up soon. I finally got that new lens Ive been talking about, the cannon 24mm prime. Been running some tests with it and can't wait to shoot the next cover video with it. I know for the past couple of weeks I've mentioned doing another cooking with J video....but honestly haven't been able to decide which one to do next. So, I figure I'll put it to a vote in the RoshamFAM group. Hop on over there and vote on which dish or side you'd like to see me do. On a side note, I've been working to finalize the mixes for this new record. I'm over half way complete. It's really starting to come together. I had Kyle over this past Monday to get his opinion of the work I've been doing and it seems all is a go. We are both excited to get this finished and out to you guys. So keep on the look out and as always to anyone who reads this...I love you very much. <br>-J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Funny story: As you might already know, we've been taking song requests on our Patreon and Exclusive Access pages every month and turning them into performance music videos. So far we've done Black Crowes, Ted Nugent, Bob Segar, Rage Against The Machine, The Animals, Counting Crows, Prince and new this month: Duran Duran. The truth is neither of us really like Duran Duran but when our patron Nadia M requested it we wanted to give it a try. Come to find out Nadia's husband hacked her account to request the song (she's not a big fan of Duran Duran either)! We all had a big laugh but you know what? We have a new appreciation for Duran Duran's songwriting. We think this is our favorite so far!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week I can officially say I'm 30lbs lighter. This marks one month of the daily walks and one meal a day style eating habits. So grateful for the support and encouraging words I've received from all of you and am excited to see where this takes me. It has been a huge lifestyle change but somehow feels so familiar. Most of these things (daily walks, healthier relationships with food, daily meditation and ritual) are all things that I let myself dispose of earlier in life without realizing it. Our happiness comes from within. Our joy comes from within. I'm truly realizing how important it is to take care of our selves and study what it is that makes us human. We must not extract from the world our needs. It is our responsibility to create. On a lighter note, I'm excited to say we finally have a show lined up for this week. I'm excited to be able to perform some of our new material and honestly excited to be able to see some of you. For those of you in the RoshamFAM you'll be able to get all the details from the group post. I'm also planning to shoot a new cooking with J episode soon. I'll keep everyone in the loop the best I can. As always, to anyone who reads this I love you very much! -J</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;"> Y'all ever get Dejavu? When I was a teenager I knew I wanted to play music for a living but I wasn't really sure how to go about it. Out of high school, I remember going over with my guidance counselor what I wanted to do and we'd both scratch our heads when trying to find a major that fit with my plans. I wanted to get into audio engineering but the University only offered Brodcasting, Journalism and Communications (I went with Communications and it was one of the best decisions I ever made but that's another story).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">After a few semesters I found an opportunity for an internship at a small recording studio in Northeast GA that was getting a few cool jobs. I decided to pack up and go for it singing lyrics, "Sometimes you gotta leave your life behind if you wanna find it," which turned into a song called "Fly away" I ended up recording with J a few years later when we were first figuring things out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">This week, a friend of mine invested in some home recording equipment and I got to go hang out and help him set it up. It reminded me of when I first moved to Georgia from Wisconsin, which seems like a lifetime ago. I was new to recording but I knew I wanted to figure it out. I was reminded at how much there is to know and how much I still have to learn. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">Life is intimidating when you're not sure what to do or how to do it. Someone told me once, "When life is overwhelming you don't lack time. You lack clarity." It's easy to change the oil in your car with little time and effort if you know how. However, if you've never done it before and you're all by yourself without the right wrench, it'll take you forever. I think most things in life are like that. We beat ourselves up when we don't know how to do something when it seems like other people are killing it. You have to go for it, make mistakes and recognize when you are. Doing the same thing (or more of the same thing) that doesn't work will drive you insane. Learn from people that are equipped. Don't be afraid to ask for help or to do a little digging. You got this!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I'm glad Spring finally feels like it's on it's way! This is the time of year that we usually experience "Fake Spring" for a few days and the real one won't arrive for another few weeks. J and I went on a hike last week and it finally feels like that "hunker down for Winter" mode is melting away. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last Fall a buddy of mine turned me on to the "75 Hard Challenge," where you have to work out for 45 minutes twice every day (one of which must be outside), drink a gallon of water, read ten pages of a book and take a progress photo everyday. Miss one and you have to start over. I definitely understood why they call it 75 Hard, lol. Now that Spring is here, I'm ready to embrace another physical challenge so I've started TUT (time under tension) training. I. Am. Sore, lol but I've been enjoying it. I've gotten good motivation from J and how he's been focused on his health all this past month. He took me out on one of the hikes he's been doing last week. It was a great time!</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/218c90cf46a293d44f2b9a326c65a80ad53b67fb/original/inshot-20210228-224000037.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, I'm finishing up on some pick ups for my last remaining tracks for the upcoming album. I think I'm just about done. In addition, since we've been doing these cover requests to help keep us afloat, I'm looking into what we'll need to do to license them. Music licensing is a whole new strange world from performance, booking shows and touring but I'm excited to get to learn about it. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With J...</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/6b7016ae3f121e008748f3e5dc3b8439db6a6388/original/154620496-916408495836478-6074763001276563780-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week has been so much more peaceful in mind. The daily meditation has extremely helped with lowering my stress levels and refocusing my energies. It's week three of one meal a day and, at this point, I'm starting to think it's just how I'm gonna be for a while. Snacks and eating are always tempting but not if you're focused on what you should be doing with your time. With this new habit I've been getting back into cooking. Been thinking about doing another cooking with j video. Let me know if you guys would be interested in seeing another. Also glad to say I got Kyle to join me this past week on a 3 mile hike. We had a really good time. I think it's important for us to plan more regular outings like this together as we can just enjoy the moment together and not feel like we just have to be discuss our next project or anything like that. Besides all that I've been head down in the studio wrapping up all the finishing touches on the new cover video from our February requests. As I'm writing this I'm about to scan back over it and make sure I didn't miss anything and bounce it down and try and get it uploaded asap. So, if you're on our Patreon or exclusive access you'll be able to see all the hard work Kyle and I have put into this one. Hope you enjoy it and to anyone who reads this....I love you very much! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week we're finishing up our parts for this month's performance video. Every month we take requests from our monthly supporters on Patreon & Exclusive Access and produce a performance video based off of those requests. We've gotten a lot of crazy ideas from all of you and we're excited to work on this month's video. We're planning on shooting it later this week. So, if you're not on the mailing list hit that button above and we'll let you know when it's done!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week has, like most, brought on its own set of challenges. This is week 2 of one meal a day and daily walks and I'm glad to say I've finally set up my personal altar space and have started practicing daily meditation as well. I finally came to understand the necessity of it. Being who I am, I have a real bad habit of letting other energies outside of myself control how I feel. Even though it's good to empathize with those we care about, it's even more important to keep ourselves grounded in a self confident manner knowing that we are doing the best we can and in that, not being blind to positive change for ourselves when needed. It's important that we as individuals stay strong on our paths towards bettering ourselves and not let outside forces make us question it. It's that trust in myself that I'm continuing to work on, being the crux of it all. I reached out to a good friend this week to actually talk some things out and I am so grateful they were willing to listen and not judge. It meant the world to me. I feel a lot of us forget sometimes that we also need to trust that others will be there for us . It's easy to forget when, as individuals, we can be so hard on ourselves and think everyone else will be too. Thankfully this isn't the case.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Besides all this introspective mumbo jumbo...lol. I'm wrapping up on all the my parts and arrangements for our next cover video. I'm really excited about this one. Kyle really wasn't a fan of this bands music and honestly never was I. I definitely had respect for their role in inspiring some of my favorite artists but personally never was my cup of tea. I'm so happy with the spin we are putting on this one. Really combining Kyle's ideas with mine to make something really special. We are hoping to shoot the video later this week and have it posted on Patreon as soon as we get it all wrapped, edited etc. We hope you look forward to it. We also finished putting together a very special remix track of "2 Tha Rhythm" for one of our good friends on Patreon. Our hearts go out to you girl. We love and appreciate you very much. As always to anyone who reads this I love you very much and would love to hear about any personal struggles you might be working though. Stay strong my friends. -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I've been finding a lot of peace playing music this week. I know that might sound funny but as I've said before, a lot of being a full time musician can seem like it has absolutely nothing to do with playing music most of the time. When we were on the road, we'd joke with venue managers and tell them, "We're gonna do the show for free tonight. You just have to pay us to set up and tear down!"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There's a lot of that when it comes to being a musician. It's not just the first few hours before the venue opens and the last few hours after it closes. The week can pile up set up. I've been struggling with that concept quite a bit over the last year. Being on the road meant that all that set up lead to playing music for people all week: Not just telling people about it, trying to sell t shirts or trying to come up with ways to get your attention on your busy news feed so you can watch a video and hope you like it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've had a lot of tracks I've gotten to work on and record this week to get over to J for mixing. Because we're an electronic act, a lot of the recording doesn't require making a lot of loud noises to capture the sound. However, I REALLY like how a dirty guitar riff sounds through a 15" speaker so I couldn't help but do things the old fashioned way, miking up an amp this week. I was reminded this week to let the music come first and the "figuring out stuff" can come later. The events of the past year have made a lot of musicians feel like they're spinning their wheels. Truth be told, a lot of us are. A lot of us aren't sure what to do. I'd just like to say that music itself, really does help. I hope it helps you too.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With Kyle...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/4a82a3d52148200cb0a3b8264614988fd9c89750/original/148849830-4041091879276778-7436034747665556426-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've been fighting off a cold. I think I'm just about over it but I think I'm gonna hold off on doing any vocal tracks for the next few days. On second thought: maybe it'll be like that old episode of "Friends" where Phoebe gets a cold and makes more tips at the coffeehouse because the stuffy nose makes her sound sexier? Do y'all remember that?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 22.4px;">Being under the weather, reminds of a time when we first started Roshambeaux. When we'd first gotten together, we'd fallen in to some good steady gigs right off the bat and decided to release an album as soon as possible. At the time and even still today, I'd gotten in the habit of recording "prelims" on my own before presenting the idea of a song to someone else. It was a way of solidifying my parts but sometimes I'd include other parts in the arrangement (bass, drums, synth etc) just to frame the vibe I had at the time. </span><span class="font_large">This was back in MySpace days so a lot of those prelims, I'd post there with hopes of finishing them with a band when the opportunity presented itself.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So, with recording our first project we took a few of those "Myspace prelims" and reworked them for a band. I'd never gotten the flu before but I remember about right in the middle of recording the project getting it pretty bad. I remember laying in bed in my apartment just wanting to feel normal and not throw up. I decided that I'd grab my acoustic guitar and my home recording gear (at the time the Mbox 2 with Protools 8 LE) and try to distract myself. I told myself, "It's gonna sound terrible and it's OK." It was just to get some ideas down for the real version we'd tackle once I could keep stuff down. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/dc1061d0e3780c1787bb2023eba07ded0ee68b33/original/150551298-4041086585943974-2095772692392634984-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">That prelim ended up turning into "Like The Morning." I'll try to dig up that old recording this week and If I can find it I'll post it up on Patreon. Our first version of "Like The Morning," was off our album "Gaudy Monstrosity." That album isn't available right now but we did a live unplugged EP last year called, "Flat Tops & Wooden Boxes" with just guitar and cajon that has a version of the song if you'd like to hear it. I'll post a link below. I hope y'all are having a great week! Stay well but if you can't use it for something. Sometimes being unwell creates good things if you embrace it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">So, I have finally received my CPAP this week. I have slept awesome the past 2 nights. I'm so excited to finally have this guy to help me get good sleep while continuing to work on my personal health. I finished my one week one meal a day goal and think I'm just gonna keep it going. I'm starting to feel so much better than I have in months. I've also kept up my daily walks. When it rains I've been doing my exercise bike. Honestly, I definitely prefer the walking. It really helps to clear the head, process stress, and work through new ideas. I haven't yet begun a meditation routine. I keep putting it off.....not sure why. I may just have to work it into my morning routine somehow. I've been meaning to set up a personal altar and safe spiritual space. Maybe I should start with that and it might give me the inspiration I need? If any of you that practice meditation have any tips or inspirational words I'd love to hear them. Besides all that, I've been head down doing paper work trying to prepare our business taxes for last year. Walking through all the numbers is like walking back through time with the abrupt stop that hit us last March and on and how January and February we had no idea what was coming. Revisiting some of those feelings and emotions have made me feel sad and yet grateful. I'm truly thankful to say we have tried to make the best of the shit sandwich that was served to us cold on a dirty napkin. I've been able to reflect on all the great projects we have been able to take on that otherwise we wouldn't have had time for. I'm also grateful for all the Fam that have stuck by our side and continued to support what we do. In this past year all of us have experienced so much loss and continue to take on more and I'm so glad that you allow us to be there for one another. Each and every one of you mean a lot to me. Your stories, your shared hope, and love have really kept us going. I'm back at it this week working on our new record. We have been reworking some of the tracks to get them up to par with what we've recently added to the collection. I truly believe this is gonna be the best record I've ever been involved with and I can't wait to share it with you. Not gonna lie I still get emotional listening to some of the songs. We've really laid our hearts on the table with this one. Until next week.....to anyone who reads this, I love you very much. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We've finished up our latest monthly performance video! This month, from your requests, we decided to take on Purple Rain by Prince. We are super excited with how it turned out! Thanks to our patron Steve for suggesting this one. Covering songs by one of your idols can be super intimidating. I know this one took a little longer to get out to you guys but we wanted to make sure it was just right. Cant wait to see what you guys request next. Watch the trailer below. We hope you dig it as much as we do. Let us know in the comments below what ya think.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I had a lot of fun shooting this month's request! We've been asked to do this one in the past so it was great to finally learn it and produce it as a Roshambeaux song. I'm so grateful for our folks on Patreon. I'm not sure what we do without them. This past year has been rough on us but it's great to know there are people that want us to keep going. Be sure to let us know what you'd like to see next!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I have a few guitar tracks to record this week. Most of my tracks for the upcoming album are already recorded but there's a few layers we'd like to through in. We typically only write one guitar part for our music so it always translates live but I like to get a few good takes of the part and blend them together. I always felt that gives the guitars a nice warm and full feel on recordings.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With the recording of the next album just about wrapped I'm gonna be focused on the artwork. I came across some cool styles and motifs when we were putting together promo for one of the singles for it ("Criminal" which you can check out <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/2599119/criminal"><strong><span style="color:#3498db;">HERE</span></strong></a>). I'm excited to dive into something new! Thanks so much for continuing to support us: even if it's not on Patreon or Exclusive Access. Sometimes just checking in with us on social media or reading these blog updates is just the motivation we need to keep going.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With J...</span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been focusing a lot on grounding and trying to get handle on my personnel health. When you're feeling bad it's always easy to just sit in it. I find it important to keep reminding myself it will get better if you put in the work. So, currently I'm on a week fast where it's just one meal a day (only healthy foods), drinking only water and started taking walks everyday (at least 1.5 miles). surprisingly it hasn't been as hard I thought it would be. I'm definitely starting to feel the benefits of this reset and new daily exercise routine. Being the caregiver type personality I am I often don't take enough time to care for myself. I'm sure there are a lot of you out there that feel this way as well. But listen, if you don't take care of yourself you won't be able to properly care for those around you. Stay committed and set routines up that keep that in mind. It's not an overnight fix kinda thing but in time things will get better. We have to believe that or else the only other option will be to eventually give up. I'm also gonna be starting to relearn my meditation skills. I used to be really good at it but I just gave up on it for some strange reason. I find myself in need of that spiritual connection with myself that I've put on the back burner for way to long. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">On the creation side of things I'm happy to say I've finally been able to finish all the audio ( mixing and mastering) and the video (editing, clip placement, correction, etc.) for the new cover video. I'm really excited with how it turned out. I'm still looking at a new lens to get the wide angle shoots just as clean as the b-roll. I'm looking at another prime lens, as I've been super happy with the sharpness of my 50mm prime. I'm always spending time to try and make things better. Kyle has to remind me sometimes just to do my best for today. We've always worked off a shoe string budget but I believe each one we do is better than the last and that growth keeps me pushing. Hope you all have a great week and to anyone that reads this I love you very much! -J</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week, it took everything I had to go. I went on a 3 mile hike at a place called Duke's Creek. Before I got in the car I must have paced for at least an hour trying not to let the anxiety win (It's to cold, it's too far, what if you can't make it, etc). Finally, I got in the car and of course, on the way realized, I had no cash to pay the parking fee...lol. So, I turned around, grabbed it and continued on my way, nervous the whole way there, still battling all the "What ifs." As soon as we arrived I felt a sudden calm. </span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a73a3465f069b5ddace117512dc38b2411274faf/original/145501909-796080604597567-498093089830745269-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It was overcast, cold and supposed to rain in a few hours but just being there instantly gave me some sort of calm. It's easy to forget how nature can have that effect on us. Right at the trail head, there was an overlook where you could see a huge water fall way off in the distance. I automatically thought that it must be a different one than the one we were going to. It seemed so far away. Continuing down the trail, there were signs of beauty and some of distress, some new growth and some decay. Once we reached the bottom, I soon realized this was the same waterfall we'd seen from the trail head. It was absolutely beautiful.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/e42ae621506e7e0fb40af8c2bb0d5f84c2cb4dd7/original/145666961-153129806484682-256173792893204176-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The sound of the falls washed over me giving me a sense of accomplishment. I did it. I took some time to take it all in and started making my way back up. On my way, I soon started to reflect how this hike was a lot like life (stay with me for a sec..lol). It seems impossible at times. Sometimes the goals we set seem so far out of reach. We experience ups and downs. We see death and new life. It's all about staying on the path, continuing to go and taking time to rest when you need it. </span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/5fbf40e97dc4478856e1ef2529cb6fa4d5e56819/original/145065110-1324909177908256-353152919188715692-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/2d1486e98ad01ce4c33ed33911a9f5d0403a953a/original/145255602-907852316530505-4723575967323922269-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This trip really meant a lot to me. I'm hoping to do more hikes in the near future. You should too. Stay strong my friends and if you're reading this I love you very much.

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With Kyle...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm really excited with how this next performance video is turning out! J is in the studio putting the footage together. I'm super proud of how he's able to take raw footage and make it art. When we were shooting we talked a lot about the pressure we put on ourselves that can turn into stress if we're not careful. We were reminded that you have to do your best today and rely on the work you did yesterday to make your "best, better." Life stacks up on itself and while that can be daunting, it can be a really good thing too. Yesterday made today, just like today makes tomorrow.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last week I mentioned I was finally (thinking about) getting around to restoring a few furniture pieces around the house. I wasn't quite sure what I was going for but I knew I wanted to at least get rid of the scratches, dings and "toddler art."</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/cd9bc3954b9d31bd711631d95c0612ff3e2c294c/original/143997119-4004415806277719-4848823759158277242-n.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b543d14d27e01d7c5b7c8ef88816c8c695fe1fb2/original/143881717-4004415652944401-2846861961775201885-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/7eaab760c70561d87d41f078229ea49204725f7b/original/144434377-4004415536277746-2253672398446382062-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">After I finished sanding and buffed out the dents and dings, it was time to decide how to finish them. I thought about a few different options with deep darker stains or paints like what was covering the tables before. I thought, "I should make them 'go' with the rest of the things in our house." As I was making a mental list of what to pick up at the hardware store my wife came out and said, "That looks good, babe. I think all you have to do is try to make it stay that way."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I was hesitant at first. "No, It should match the couch... It won't look finished... blah blah blah." After awhile I started to realize that I've been saying those same types of things about myself for a long time. "I need to fit in... every one else does things this way... I don't want people to see what's underneath... blah blah blah." After awhile of just looking at them I realized I like them the way that they are. They didn't need to be covered up or changed. They just needed to be taken care of. So, we got some mineral oil and polyurethane to treat the wood and seal them up.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/dae8457e4e39d6bd48cf1c9e0ad36f334d7caa62/original/144581052-4004415359611097-6095630076915338202-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/130616ccc9941e0ad215b1d6b65bd325e22ecf19/original/143961394-4004415249611108-4451238469632435777-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I was reminded that it's ok to let people see you for who you are not some factory "off the line" version of yourself or what you think your friends expect. It's ok to not like things about yourself and want to change but the best version of that change is finding better ways to take care of yourself not covering yourself with other people's expectations. Be you. Let people see it. You're beautiful!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:null;"><span class="font_large">The requests came in and the song is chosen. Kyle got the prelim tracks finished for this month's exclusive performance video. Each month we do a new song that supporters can unlock for $5 at patreon.com/roshambeaux or roshambeauxmusic.com/donate J's working on mixing and loading them in. We'll be shooting this week.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">Here's a look at last month's video.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With Kyle...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I got a few personal projects I'm working on this week at the house that I've been waiting on doing until "the kid gets a little older." When my daughter was a toddler it seemed like I was always finding a new art project somewhere with a medium that wasn't easily removed: paint on the coffee table, "washable" (yeah, right) marker on the chair and coins superglued to the window sill. Now that I think I'm in the clear from at least those specific surprises I'm working on sanding, refinishing and sealing a few items. Part of me feels like I'm erasing some funny memories but I'm fortunate to be able to make new ones everyday. It's crazy how time flies. Typically when I'm writing lyrics, I try consciously to not write about one specific person for fear of it not being "relatable" but I'm working on one this week that I think is for her.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've been working on a few more challenging piano parts this week and it's been a little frustrating dealing with some electrical gremlins in this old piano we've carried on the road for the past few years. It's definitely seen better days. I took it apart and gave its guts a good cleaning. I forgot how fun it is to see the inner working parts of an electric piano so I made a little video and put it up on Instagram.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It plays a lot better after a good cleaning. No misfires or sour ghost notes (fingers crossed). There are still a few isolated dead keys. I think the culprit is a bad solder joint in the circuit board. A friend of mine that's really good with circuit board repair suggested heating up the node to reforge the bad connection... I think I'm gonna have J do that, lol! He's a lot better with the solder gun.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With J...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week has been a bit of a weird one. It's still astonishing to me how not getting good sleep can effect so many things. It seems to make all your normal/manageable issues blow up into crippling problems. I've had my sleep study done, apnea diagnosis and am in the waiting game to finally get some relief from a prescribed CPAP. I know normally I have a laundry list of all the things I'm currently working on and things I'm doing. But this week I wanted to try and explain some of what I've been going through. In the hopes that someone read this and know you're not alone. Mental health issues, I feel, are still attached to a negative stigma. It can be hard to admit or talk about it in fear that others won't understand or will judge you for being weak or incapable. People dealing with daily anxiety/depression, like myself, tell ourselves a variety of all the negative things about ourselves and in that believe that others must feel this way about us as well. I'm here to tell you it's all a lie. It's not real. Keep pushing through and take time to heal yourself. Don't push others out. Reach out and let those around you know what you're going through. It's ok to take time to work on yourself and those that love you only want to help. They want you to feel better. It's hard to, in the moment, realize these things. So, in this moment of clarity maybe I'm writing this not just for you but for myself. If you're reading this I love you very much. Stay strong.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">What a week it's been! Are you ok??? Take a deep breath, right now. No ones watching. In... Hold... Out.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We've been working on a few new songs this week. J's got a new ones just about mixed and finished. Kyle finished some guitar tracks last week and then realized there was a bad cable and all the tracks had a hiss in them. However, they've since been redone and honestly are just better takes anyway so maybe that bad cable was a good thing. It's funny how the universe works that way.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a551084a4a29022f87ec9ae4bd05f934eabf7451/original/134646899-154900459751363-622180742572854644-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I had a lesson in empathy last week. As I was driving home from some errands, off in the distance I noticed a tractor driving down the road with a string of cars behind it. This particular stretch was very curvy with a had a double yellow line, so there was no hope for the disgruntled drivers of passing the steel turtle for at least a few miles. I've been in that situation a few times and it only seems to happen when I'm running late.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When I'm in this situation I'm never able to see the driver's face but being outside the situation this time I was able to make out the driver's expression as I got closer and closer. To my somewhat I guess, borderline sadistic delight I noticed him smiling. As I passed him I gave him a smile and a wave and couldn't help but laugh out loud. As I pulled in to my driveway I couldn't help but ask myself, "Am I an awful person?" My empathy for those disgruntled people (a situation I'd found myself in a few times) went completely out the window.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think part of it is human nature. It's easy to put empathy aside when you're removed from the situation. Granted, I didn't lose a wink of sleep that night but I hope you get my meaning. We're living in a time where we're increasingly removed from each other. We like to say it's from the pandemic but we've been doing it before last year too. It makes it easier to ignore and even laugh at human suffering, even suffering we've experienced. Instead of beating ourselves up over it I think we need to practice empathy like an instrument. Practice creates habit. If you wish suffering on people just because you've suffered it means you haven't healed from it. I'd like to wake up to a morning where I can desire the well being of others not their suffering. It takes conditioning. It's not my default setting.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In a time where we're divided on what seems like what should be universal like "Life Mattering" or what "Constitutes Domestic Terrorism," I hope we can actually look each other in the eye and hope for each other's well being even when we disagree. I think that's what empathy is in practice. I don't think it's enough to just understand pain. I think it's the desire to lessen it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With J...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/50cfa3c9c1bd6e277073fa6799c373ce035d2125/original/received-441229163732141.jpeg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been finishing up some mixes and working to wrap my head around this next record to it's completion. I truly believe this will be the best record we've ever done. Working through each song mixing and preparing them for the mastering process, I've gotten a lot closer to fully understanding a bridged concept between all the songs. It's like taking a walk through all we've been through the past 2 years. We've really tried to up the vulnerability this time around and put it all on the table. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We will be sharing more of it with you soon as we prepare for the release of the latest song from this collection "Criminal" on Jan 20th. It seems this is the absolute right time for us to release this track and video. When we originally planned to release it, we had no idea the amount of political/social divides that would be taking place at this time. But never the less, we feel it expresses some of our deepest concerns that we feel is agreeable to what ever side of the fence you're on. Kyle told me the other day that he feels a sense of the need to "do something" and in my eyes I feel this song has potential to be just that: An expression of facts and concern that plague us socially, through politically corrupt systems that encourage us to think, not stand idle, and make better choices for the future. I hope you all are looking forward to its release. For everyone that reads this...I love you. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Happy New Year! We're excited for this year's potential! 2020 was a rough year for artists but we're hopeful that this year will bring us closer to something that feels a little more normal. If you've been following us on Instagram you may have noticed a series of ominous posts imbedded with very short audio clips. The clips are from a new song we've written called "Criminal." We think election season is the perfect time to release it. If you're not following us on Instagram (or haven't checked in with us on there in awhile), click the image below.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://instagram.com/roshambeauxlove"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/f943611b5ea258ca3cfc8255af3ecd971f620850/original/bw-ig.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Each post is a small clip of the new single, "Criminal," in reverse order. So, you'll be able to listen to a larger portion of the song in succession up until release. The song comes out on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2021 and will be available for purchase at roshambeauxmusic.com/shop and the music video will be available on YouTube as well. As always, all Patreon subscribers get the single free, sent directly to their email and have early access to the music video.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With J...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I finished the final cut of our new music video for our new single "Criminal" and finalized the master. I'm really happy how it all turned out! After questioning myself repeatedly Kyle was able to put me in my place. I did learn this week that sometimes nit-picking can just be another form of procrastination. So once I had everything locked in frame and had the adjustments made to the audio that I had issues with I bounced it and uploaded it. All of you on our Patreon now have access to view the final cut and download the MP3! It will be out officially Jan 20th. Besides work I am happy to say that I should have my sleep study in hand soon and can't wait to get this issue resolved. Due to Covid, as you all know, medical care has been delayed and is taking a lot longer than usual. I first sought help for this back in September and it's finally happening! I am grateful to be on this path of healing both physically and emotionally to better move forward with all that we have planned for this coming year. In the midst of the consistent panic attacks. Back in November, I decided to write and try and express what it was I was feeling sonically and under the working title "Panic" I'm glad to say that Kyle is finishing up on his parts as we speak (he's done an amazing job) and this brings us one more step closer to finishing our new album that will release this year. After this one, we have one or two more to get all our parts down. The mixing, mastering and conceptualization will begin. I'm ahead on mixing but plan to go back and tweak some previously released tracks to better fit the mold and apply some new techniques I've learned this past year. I'm really looking forward to bringing this whole concept together as a total and hope you are looking forward to it as well. To anyone that reads this...I love you very much. </span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With Kyle...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I had a nice quiet NYE at home with my family. It was a pretty stark contrast to some of the wilder NYE's of the past but I don't know if I would have traded a quiet glass of champagne and ABC's Time Square live feed on Hulu for any of them. With all the insanity of last year, I'm really grateful for my loved ones helping the world seem sane.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been working on lyrics for a new song for the next album. It's always a weird place to be as a writer. No two songs come about the exact same way but this one the music was done first which is a little off the beaten path for how I usually contribute to how our songs turn out (although it's not the first time: Tease, Rattlesnake, Got It). Sometimes, this situation can be a little intimidating. When the music is already finished, the lyric process can often feel forced or "trite" as we say, talking back and forth on video calls via Messenger. It's important to focus on "I get to write lyrics for a finished song," rather than "I have to finish these lyrics and not have them sound forced." J reminded me this week that lyrics are about describing a canvas or a setting where the song lives. It's not only about making words sound good together but imagining a different world and describing what you see, hear, feel, smell or taste.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/4377ffc75c4a5661be897904060a6966fc7174b4/original/133784998-3929672447085389-2683458843650700267-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The lyrics for this one (with the working title, "Panic," which I think we're gonna keep) are finished up and I'm on to tracking my parts for the song. The funny things about the writing process is that inspiration hardly ever comes when you make a conscious decision to sit down and work on something. Inspiration often interrupts you and makes you run around frantically looking for a notebook, guitar or your phone's voice recorder. So, in short, while I was working on this last song, another one came out of nowhere. I love it when that happens.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This year I got a tarot deck for Yule. It's an Edgar Allan Poe inspired set. He is one of my favorite writers of all time. I have been doing daily reads with them. It has been a great tool for self reflection as I begin my day. This has also inspired me to go back and reconnect with his stories and tales. He has always been an inspiration of mine. I am excited to rekindle this forgotten love. Besides that, I've continued to work on the upcoming record. Now that most things are wrapped for the year, I've started brainstorming and planning next year's projects. Also, this week I finally finished up editing and putting together this months cover video of the song, "Raining In Baltimore" by Counting Crows. It's available now on our Patreon page. I was skeptical at first if we were gonna be able to bring new life to this one at first. But once I really sat down with it and Kyle showed me a prelim of just him and an acoustic guitar it really connected with me. I've been spending a lot of time lately working through some feelings and emotions about this year and working on this song really helped sort some things out. Some of the lines and sentiments really hit home. I truly hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas with your families and have a fun and safe New Years Eve. We can't wait to see what this next year has in store.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With Kyle...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm really excited with how this month's Patreon performance turned out! The song that we ended up doing I hadn't heard before but when I listened to it it really hit me hard. I'm so glad music can do that. A lot of times I brush stuff off and purposefully try to stay out of touch with what I'm feeling. As a musician, life is cycle of peaks and valleys that can cause emotional motion sickness. A lot of times my default response is to close my eyes. I've learned that just like going through curvy mountain road and feeling nauseous, closing your eyes makes it worse. I think it's ok to open your eyes and enjoy the ups and downs, like when we were kids on roller coasters.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With the new album getting closer to completion, this week I'm focusing on some writing. I love weeks like this. There's a lot of being a musician that isn't creating new music. When the time comes it's refreshing. I think that's what this year has taught me the most. Slow down and create. All that other stuff that causes headaches can come later.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">We say this every week but it never gets old (at least to us, lol). If you're supporting us on Patreon you are absolutely amazing! We try not to be hyperbolic but we actually are "filled with surprise and wonder" and are "startlingly impressed" that you continue to support us each month! We're trying to constantly give a little more in our efforts every month. So if you've been sitting on the fence let us know what we can do to make your subscription more valuable to you in the comments below.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">Thanks to: <strong>Nancy B, Steve B, Renee T, Rachel E and Nadia M!</strong> and our non Patreon monthly donor <strong>Jeff C!</strong> Y'all are the reason we haven't given up this year! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Happy New Year!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">We hope ya'll have a safe and happy New Year! We heard something that made us laugh. "If you thought this year was bad, wait until it turns 21 and starts drinking!" We don't have a pessimistic view about next year. We hope you don't either. We all have that friend that makes NYE resolutions saying, "This next year will be my year," and does absolutely nothing about it. Don't worry about next year. Just worry about today. Make today your day and the year will worry about itself.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With Kyle...</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">This week Jupiter and Saturn had what's known as a conjunction, where they appear as one star in the night sky. My friend Adam is really into astronomy. Every time we hang out I always learn something. Monday night just after sunset we got to see what the conjunction looked like through a set of pretty awesome telescopes. I could actually make out the rings on Saturn and could make out about 4 moons as well! The second pic is our friend Daniel's telescope. That thing is a hoss!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I have a Russian Blue cat named Gracie that lately has been "helping" me work, lol (she's actually bumping my arm while I'm writing this). I don't know if it's help or just a distraction but I've been enjoying her company. Sometimes help comes from the most unexpected places. It's great how the universe works out like that. I'm super grateful for all the help I've had this year. Even the help that seems like a distraction at the time.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With J...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I've been working on mixes for the new record, brainstorming on new video projects, and preparing the production for this months Patreon cover video. I'm really excited to get started on our next big project. I've also been trying to get ready for Christmas. It really doesn't feel like it usually does this year. the one thing that is the same is I'm still behind on shopping...lol. With the holidays meaning lots of time spent with friends and family, there is a lot more planning involved to make sure we can be safe while doing so. My family was hit hard this year with Covid-19. Most have recovered but some are still having hard times in the hospital. I myself was not directly exposed but, for obvious reasons, had to spend the past few weeks away from them and have truly missed them and can't wait to see them. But I am reminded of all the gratitude that the ones that are still with us are with us and to not forget to work through any and all differences we may have while we still can and to remind and say how we feel to each other even if it may not be pretty. Family and love are so important. There is so much we can learn from one another. We must hold on to these things and make them priority. Life is a garden.... I want to personally wish you guys happy holidays and I truly appreciate all your continued support. Much love -J</span></p>

Being independent artists, as you can imagine, isn't always the most lucrative job but it's so rewarding to have the opportunity to brighten people's day, encourage and provoke thought through music. We couldn't do it without the generous contributions of our supporters. So, we know it's awkward to ask but if you enjoy what we do and find some value in it, consider donating even just $1 a month on Patreon. It goes a really long way and you'll be able to have a backstage pass and become part of the creation process along with us.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We hope y'all are safe! We heard a good tip about dealing with extended family during the holidays: Never have serious conversations at the table, have them while you're doing something (preparing food, splitting wood for the fire, decorating etc). There's a very specific psychology behind it but it actually works. The second thing that we've heard that we think applies to every day not just this time of year is: You're not taking a risk by being kind. It's easy to forget but being kind is free, improves every situation and makes you strong. We love y'all!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With J...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week I've finished up on most of the projects I was working on. It's inevitable, the soul searching I've been doing, as I'm sure most of you are too, during these long stretches of isolation. I'm trying to put my head to the grind to further express my subconscious sonically. So far it's been successful but at times it can be hard to win the battle over insecurities and worry. With our new album getting closer to completion, I've been reflecting over it as a whole and trying to work through the pieces to make sense of it. This year has been a whirlwind of worry, panic, self doubt, struggle, and isolation. Even though I'm a man who values his alone time this has taken its toll on me as I'm sure it has on some of you as well. With all this I am reminded of how grateful I am for those of you who have connected to our music and related to our stories. You are the ones who remind us we are not alone. This new album, I hope, can play a part of our recovery from all of this. With stories of heroes, battles with our selves, political turmoil, questionable religious doctrine, importance of community, and most of all love. We can't wait to share this with you and we are humbled by the response from the songs we've already released. We have decided to release another single and video for you guys for the track " Criminal." You might have heard us mention this a few times. I've decided it's finished and will be releasing it to our patrons first some time this week. We are so grateful for all your support. The word love can not even amount.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With Kyle...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I wrapped up mixing a family folk project this week and I'm excited how it turned out. J was a big help taking over the mastering process for it. J and I have been taking on a few other projects here and there and this week I was reminded of what I was told about the music industry when I was starting out.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> "The music industry is a cluttered, competitive, cut throat, backstabbing, depressing place where good only the soulless get rich and good people die like dogs... and there are some negative aspects as well." It's rough job that takes a lot of resilience to do full time and come out with some semblance of "Making it work." However, nothing will come together if you don't show up.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">We had an artist contact us for some help with arranging some of his music and getting it recorded. We blocked off some time, set the date, reconfirmed twice and the day of... nothing. No call, no show. Frustration aside, I was reminded that most of life is just showing up. You might not be at your best. Other people might laugh at you. You might be fighting off a panic attack but all of that is just details. You might fail horribly six times in a row but you won't ever succeed if you don't show up. I'm so grateful and indebted to all of you that continue to show up for us, even in the middle (and hopefully tail end) of this pandemic. Last March, I honestly thought it might be the end of a fun career but you all have continually encouraged me to keep going. I owe you a lot. Thank you so much!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! We sure do miss all of you. We know that although this time of year is supposed to bring joy, it can often bring winter depression along with it. That lack of natural vitamin D from hanging outside in the warm sun can take its toll. Eat green things that grow in the ground, take a D supplement and most importantly, listen to this silly song we made to help lift your spirits!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>A Very Merry Christmas... (In Your Pants)</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We wrote this song a few years ago, and if you've seen us live in the past around the holidays you may have heard us perform it with just drums and piano. Since we've been given all this extra time this year we decided it was a good year to give the song a little production. We always loved those swingy Christmas Jingles that Brian Setzer and Harry Connick Jr would do, so we thought we'd try our own version. It's definitely not our comfortable genre but it was a lot of fun diving into some old records for research purposes, analyzing brass harmonies and classic swing guitar licks.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/37f395663ed75a649800285302928c86c20421f4/original/mcimp-full.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">How To Get The Song</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Right now, the song is available for free to our Patrons on Patreon, but also on our music store at <a contents="roshambeauxmusic.com/shop" data-link-label="Shop" data-link-type="page" href="/shop"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>roshambeauxmusic.com/shop</strong></span></a> for just a dollar and also is available for free with any purchase from our apparel store at <strong><a contents="storefrontier.com/roshambeaux" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://storefrontier.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;">storefrontier.com/roshambeaux</span></a><span style="color:#3498db;"> </span></strong></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">To go with the new song, we designed our own version of the classic "ugly sweater." We think it's the sexiest ugly sweater out there so go ahead and pick one up so you'll have it in time for Christmas photos (but you can wear it all winter).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Up With J...</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">After finishing up editing our new Christmas single short I've also finished the Master for it just in time. Hope you guys enjoy this one. It's super corny and I think Kyle did a great job on it. Now it's time for me to shift back focus. I've also finished our brand new music video for our new unreleased track "Criminal" just have to decide if I'm done with the mix and master on it. That one should be out soon as well. Just waiting to set our release date. If you're on the patreon you'll be experiencing it all soon! <br>Besides that I've just beat Age Of Calamity it was a super fun game. I really enjoyed the story and am curious if it's gonna have anything to do with the Breathe Of The Wild sequel due out next year. I'm probably gonna replay Breathe Of The Wild in the mean time while I wait patiently.....lol. The rest of this week I plan to finish up on masters for a project Kyle recently recorded for his family and and try to layout the ground work so we can finish up on our new album due to release next year. Gonna try and get some good writing time in.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With Kyle...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In addition to prepping the art for our Christmas song, I had the opportunity to do an on location recording for some folk singers from North East GA last week. I have a secret love for folk/Appalachian music so it was a very refreshing project to capture. There's just a raw honesty to that style of music that I really appreciate. I forgot just how much fun it is to record other artists. A lot of times it's challenging recording your own songs having to play producer, engineer and artist at the same time. I know J feels the same way but I think we're able to balance it all pretty well together. Being able to step back and only focus on recording definitely reminded me why I wanted to be in the music business as a kid. I think I've Googled "How to ___ a banjo," in the recording process 100 times this week but I think it's coming along well! I have the mixes about done and are gonna send them over to J for a review and mastering.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_large">Hey Roshamfam!</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're excited to say that our shoot for our brand new (as in unreleased) song called, "Criminal," went really well! If you've seen us live you know we tend to shy away from politics as we want to create an environment where we can be together, rock out, laugh, cry, chill and not worry about the world at least while we're together. That being said, as artists it's hard not to express the way we feel about the world around us. We hope when you hear this song and share it with your friends we'll be able to find commonality through our frustrations dealing with issues all of us have to face.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b42b49889f392762e442e65c03a34b36e889869a/original/126897935-379644003362067-5881002193912000059-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The shoot went really well! It was probably one of the first times we've asked, "Hey, what time is it?' and were surprised that when we checked the time, it was earlier than we thought. Shooting outside can offer an overwhelming amount of contingencies so we were really excited that we were able to stay on track without too many hiccups. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thanks to our friends on Patreon we were able to get the lighting that we needed for this shoot. We wanted to shoot this at night and without good natural light, the picture can come out grainy even with a really great camera. We're so grateful! Thanks so much for helping make this idea a reality!</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">The afternoon before the shoot, J worked on setting up the tech with the help of our key grip Harper. Kyle worked on staging and fire control. We had specific ideas for how we wanted the set to look so it took piecing a few things together.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b768ccc62c254d8da0a467e1e2698221ee136f24/original/126058602-1014539095678660-7276346891991108208-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We finished setting up right on schedule and began shooting right at dark. We had a few shots planned out but we wanted to leave room for "The Night Muse." That's what we call it when we get new ideas late at night. Some of the ideas didn't quite turn out but we got some really great organic, off the cuff shots with a few alternate angles and perspectives.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/7768f3cd787f9ed955a5bcbceea474340260709c/original/126319655-212829400362876-8523266834298376686-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With Kyle...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I completed the 75 Hard Challenge a few weeks ago and I don't think Thanksgiving ruined my progress too much, lol! I've been procrastinating posting up my final progress photos because I've always struggled with my weight. My goal was to hopefully look like the "before guy" in those Hydroxycut commercials and I think I may have accomplished it.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/49986bd3e21838ed3666801e2c489c8a5ab4fb03/original/128014397-3844035302315771-8308389398841602363-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Up With J...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I've been enjoying diving in and learning about film editing. I've always been interested in sound ever since my brother and I would take my mom's old cassette tapes and dub them pretending to be radio DJ as kids. Film is an entirely different world but I'm excited to have that kid feeling with a new art form. This week I've been focusing on this new music video and learning the science on what makes piecing different shots together feel natural but maintain excitement. I can't wait for y'all to see this!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This week, while I'm working on the new music video, I'm also storyboarding an idea for a quick video for an original Christmas song we wrote a few Christmases ago but haven't had the time to do anything with it. It's a little hokey but I think we all need a little hokiness every once in awhile, especially around the holidays.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We'll be taking a hiatus from our weekly podcast, "Van Philosophy- Live Vlogcast" for the remainder of 2020 so we can prepare for a few bigger projects we're working on. You'll still be able to watch previous episodes on our YouTube channel. We're planning on releasing lots of content for the remainder of the year. We have a few surprises planned. If you don't want to miss any of it be sure to sign our mailing list. We won't ever spam you. We'll just let you know when something cool comes up. We'll keep this blog running so we can check in with each other as well as keep you up to date with what we're working on. Here's what we're up to this week.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>New Album!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're pumped to announce that we've been working on a new full length rock album this year. We don't have an official release date but we're hoping for Spring/Summer 2021. We're planning on the album coinciding with a tour in whatever capacity next year allows. This week, J is heavy into finalizing some mixes for the new album and Kyle is finishing up some vocal and guitar tracks. This is the first time in our career we're actually ahead of schedule with an album release!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I woke up in weird foggy mess today. It was one of those, "I'm bummed out because I'm so bummed out," kind of mornings. I have all these cool things to work on today. We're making really good progress on the new album and I'm really excited for this month's Patreon project but I just couldn't get my brain in the right space. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's really funny but I saw an ad on my feed for a certain (not to be named) Vapor Rub treatment claiming it helps with depression/anxiety/brain fog. I kind of laughed thinking it was absurd but it reminded me that our brains work off of our senses, are easily distracted and best focus on one thing at a time. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It doesn't matter what you're thinking about: If you walk into your house or apartment and smell dog s#!t you'll stop thinking about it. We're meant to run off of what's directly in front of us. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's a cold day so I got bundled up and went for a good long jog. About a mile in I forgot what I was so "meh" about. I think a good way to let go of psychological or emotional burdens is to pick up a physical one. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Find a way to drop things and swap them out for an easily definable physical challenge. It's hard to find time, especially when you have responsibilities, obligations, grumpy bosses etc, but you'll be able to better deal with all those things with a clear head. I'm finding out that mental health and physical health are a lot more related than I thought. Being a human is complicated but at the same time it's not. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Some days all I wish for is a good night's sleep. It can be hard to admit when things have gotten to a point where you need to seek out help. Sleep Apnea effects so many of us and many of us don't seek treatment thinking it's something else. It can make problems you already have (anxiety, depression, stress, sore muscles, fatigue, etc) compound. It can seem like you are just broken. For those of you like myself that hate going to the doctor....don't put this off like I have for so long. Call your doctor and get it checked out. Much love! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Happy Veterans Day!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We'd like to start off by saying thank you to everyone that's served in our armed forces. Politics often get in the way and it's strange to us that this can often be a "touchy" subject. Being grateful for our service men and women isn't a left or right virtue signal. Einstein said, "The opposite of war in not peace; It is creation." We are grateful to those past and present that have put their lives against the destructions of war in the hope of defending the ones they love. This summer we did a version of the <strong>Star Spangled Banner</strong> and you can get a copy below.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This month the proceeds of our version will go to <strong>Wounded Warrior Project:</strong> an organization that provides interactive programs, rehabilitation retreats, and free mental health counseling to injured Veterans. We've partnered with Wounded Warrior Project in the past and we're grateful to support them again. In addition to your contribution, this week your contribution will be <strong>matched $1 for $1</strong> (up to $400,000) by <strong>The Blue Angels Foundation. </strong></span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Let's Talk About Stress Baby!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3b726923099dc4796c08cdea40ee21a44c9300b8/original/stresslevel.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As musicians we deal with stress constantly, whether it's physically being on the road for a long tour, mentally juggling all the things it takes to actually make it a viable healthy lifestyle or emotionally dealing with more rejection in one week, than a lot of people will deal with in a lifetime. Stress is the feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from a variety of events or even just thinking about them that can leave you feeling nervous, frustrated or angry.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Stress Is Normal... Sort of</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge. It's played a major role in the evolution of our species. When we experience stress in short bursts like avoiding physical danger, meeting a deadline at work or working out it plays a positive role in our lives. However, when stress is constant and persists long after the event has passed it can be detrimental to our health.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Stress Vs Anxiety</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of times we tend to think that "Stress" and "Anxiety" are synonymous. While they are related to each other, they are two separate situations. A <strong>"Stressor"</strong> is what we call an event that induces physical or emotional stress. <strong>"Anxiety,"</strong> is when that stressor has passed but the feeling of stress remains. Marshall McLuhan defined the feeling of anxiety as "Trying to use yesterday's tools for today's problems." Anxiety is when stress is no longer useful.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Stress According To A Sound Engineer</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/bd073abcc13dc3743956a21daf3475e2ed2dc6ad/original/screen-shot-2020-11-02-at-2-57-49-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There are two types of stress: <strong>Acute</strong> and <strong>Chronic</strong>. Because we are musicians and producers we can best explain it with an analogy using a sound engineering tool called a <strong>Compressor</strong>. Compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range. If that sounds confusing, think of it as one person that turns up the volume of a song to a comfortable level and another person that quickly turns it down when something gets too loud and then returns the volume knob back to normal once it passes.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A sound engineer will tune how the compressor reacts to sound using different sets of parameters based on what type of sound he or she is compressing. Two of these parameters are what sound engineers call <strong>"Attack"</strong> and <strong>"Release."</strong> </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Attack</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Attack is most easily defined as, "How fast the compressor will engage with sound when it 'hears' it," and is usually measured in milliseconds. Think of it as how fast the "virtual engineer" will turn down the volume knob as soon as he hears that something is too loud.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Release</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Release is essentially the opposite of attack. Think of it as how quickly our "virtual engineer" will return the volume knob back to normal when she hears that there are no longer any sounds that are too loud for the listener.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Our bodies' stress response is very much like a compressor in a recording studio. Acute stress is short term stress that goes away as soon as the stressor is no longer present. Acute stress is like slamming on the brakes when someone pulls out in front of you. Your heart will race and you might even honk your horn and yell out few choice words but the stress subsides rather quickly. This is like a compressor that is working well. It only turns the signal down when you need it to and it returns it back to normal levels once it's no longer needed.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Chronic stress is like a compressor that won't release properly. It 'hears' a sound that's too loud and quickly turns it down but when the spike in sound is no longer there it doesn't return it to normal quickly enough or even at all. With sound, engineers often describe this as "squishy" or "pumpy." The compressor did it's job attacking the sound but now it's cutting into things it shouldn't be. Chronic stress is like this. It may help you deal with the stressor but it negatively affects other areas of your life that don't need it once the stressor is gone.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What Happens When You Have Chronic Stress?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/5ba93e2ffe2f51ba1631286b7ae4b18fe193471d/original/123498060-3764836766902292-6106709741530032921-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Your body reacts to stress with a variety of chemicals that cause your brain to be more alert, your heart to pump faster, your blood pressure to rise and your muscles to tense. When this happens briefly, it can tip your odds of survival in your favor. When it's chronic it can lead to:</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>High Blood Pressure<br>Eczema<br>Obesity/weight gain<br>Heart Disease<br>Diabetes<br>Cycles of Depression/Anxiety<br>Menstrual Problems</strong></span><br><br><span class="font_xl"><strong>Signs of Too Much Stress</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Not all the signs of chronic stress are written in bold ink. A lot of them are hidden and you may not realize that too much stress is causing some minor issues that can turn into much bigger problems. Common chronic stress signs are:</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Digestion issues (constipation/diarrhea)<br>General aches & pains<br>Stiff neck or jaw<br>Headaches<br>Tiredness, Lack of energy, focus or will<br>Forgetfulness<br>Sexual Problems<br>Sleeping too much or not enough<br>Needing substances to "relax"<br>Upset stomach<br>Problems maintaining a healthy weight </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you're having issues with any of these things it may be a result of chronic stress. Many times it can be remedied by a change in perspective, healthy diet and exercise, identifying and taking time away from stressors and learning to say "No." We'll go over a few things that have worked for us in tonight's vlogcast on stress on our <a contents="Youtube Channel" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://youtube.com/roshambeaux"><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>Youtube Channel</strong></span></a> so be sure to subscribe and tune in tonight at 8pm/est. Get in the chat. We'd love to hear about how you've been dealing with stress, if you have any advice or if you just need a community to connect with on the subject. We're here for you!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">However, as wonderful as it is that we're often able to take control of stressful situations, sometimes these problems can be an issue with your body's actual physical stress response and you may need to talk to your doctor. A lot of times we think we only need to go to the doctor when we think we've caught a virus or have a bacterial infection (we're guilty too). We might tell ourselves that, "It's ok, there's nothing actually wrong. It's just in my head." When in reality, it may be that there IS something wrong and ignoring it can lead to severe and needless life threatening problems. If you're not ashamed to go to the doctor when you have plaque in your throat you shouldn't be ashamed to go when stress becomes unmanageable... or Hell, uncomfortable.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>It's Personal...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're chatting about stress this week because it hits home. We've dealt with chronic stress a lot this year.

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Halloween Origins</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3f2d1a06b3f5cba759955fe8035eee30fe68c751/original/hollowjack.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With Halloween coming up this Saturday, coinciding with a full moon, we were curious of the holiday's origin. The tradition comes from an ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain," (actually pronounced: sah-win) a festival accompanied by bonfires and spooky costumes designed to ward off evil spirits. Originally, Samhain was celebrated on November 1st. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>A Cover Up!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/29ed0f7e051c1acbf3ee20489021700e4ccb152b/original/pope-gregiii.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Throughout history, the Romans were notoriously famous for borrowing traditions and figures from other cultures and reforming them into their own. It's most obvious with <strong>Greek Mythology:</strong> Zeus became Jupiter. Athena became Mars. Hermes became Mercury. Hades became Pluto. Poseidon became Neptune and perhaps the laziest: Heracles became Hercules. Like Greece, the Celtic culture wasn't immune to Roman cultural appropriation. In the earlier part of the eighth century, Pope Gregory III declared November 1st <strong>"All Saints Day,"</strong> borrowing many of the traditions from Samhain but adopting connotations that fit more appropriately with Roman Catholic dogma. The evening before All Saints Day was originally called, <strong>"All Hallows Eve,"</strong> and later<strong> "Halloween."</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Trick or Treat and Other Halloween Traditions.</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/8ff7acb7c69d0f61bb864ef173f96a072f1748fd/original/122681245-3745472882172014-3471783050254981913-o.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Ancient Celts believed that on the night before Samhain, the lines between the living and the dead became fine and blurred. They believed that on this night, the dead would return to the realm of the living and play tricks on the them. Some tricks were believed to be harmless nuisances but others more detrimental, like sending frost to destroy the harvest. The priests advised ways to scare them off but some suggested that the dead might be pacified with gifts and sacrifices: Hence the term, "Trick or Treat."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Later, once Rome had begun to reshape the traditions of Samhain into Halloween, they incorporated their previous celebration from October 1st, "Feralia," known as "The Day of The Dead," alongside another Roman October holiday celebrating "Pomona," the goddess of fruit trees. This is more than likely the reason why bobbing for apples is a popular way to celebrate Halloween.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The Jack-O-Lantern does make several appearances in more modern lore in association with Halloween but more than likely can be traced back to Samhain as well. However, we're unsure if it was used as a measure to scare off the dead and evil spirits with a ghoulish glowing face or if it was originally part of a harvest sacrifice to appease them. Let us know what you think!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Our Favorite Scary Movies!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This year's been pretty tough and we know it can be hard getting into the holiday spirit. If you're having trouble getting into the Halloween Spirit we recommend watching these movies to get you into that spooky vibe!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">If you've procrastinated and are still looking for a Halloween Costume for this weekend be sure to avoid these ideas. They're either in bad taste or were so popular in 2019 you won't be able to avoid hearing, "Oh, I went as that last year!"</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>5. Spider Man</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/61ff7f32f13c935200cd2cd7267e8663d994f650/original/screen-shot-2020-10-26-at-3-20-06-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Spidy is awesome but with Spider Man "Far From Home" being released in 2019, a whole bunch of kids and adults alike donned our friendly neighborhood super hero's costume. It might be a good idea to pick a different MCU favorite this year.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>4. Pennywise</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/6082d01b196c9a616223526ac3bf836c02dd54c8/original/screen-shot-2020-10-26-at-3-26-15-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Did you see "It Chapter Two" last year? A bunch of people did and all got the same original idea to go as Pennywise for Halloween. And yes, that includes the "girl version." It might not be the most original idea for 2020.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>3. Anything Fortnite</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/abbb012aa48de4b650ee61f31a0fc93d72a3d068/original/screen-shot-2020-10-26-at-3-30-22-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />While this lends itself to a little more originality, Fortnite was (and still is) the top grossing game in 2019. SO many kids (and parents) sported a character from Fortnite (and probably had to explain what it was to their grandparents).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>2. Harley Quinn</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3a429fe0c5eced5b0551b55e5a5148b4496c1bde/original/screen-shot-2020-10-26-at-3-36-07-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">To be fair... It's not ok any year, LOL! This has been THE most popular choice as a Halloween costume (along with a Joker date) every year since 2016. Don't get us wrong, Suicide Squad did a great job reinventing the character but you don't want to be "that couple" that shows up to the socially distanced Halloween Party. And honestly, we checked a lot of our favorite costume stores and they're sold out... again.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>1. A Covid Patient/ Corona Virus</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/6d9c282b400413749a6b32589675d3fb76bcd337/original/screen-shot-2020-10-26-at-3-49-15-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We all like jokes but we don't think this one will age well. It's kinda like that girl that went as a Boston Marathon Runner in 2013. Stay safe and tasty!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week we released another live cover video for all of our "High Fivers" on Patreon, where we take requests to learn a new song and perform it live for you every month. We are huge fans of Rage Against The Machine! When we saw this one in the running we got pretty excited...but also a bit intimidated. We usually always twist around our covers and try something completely different than the original. With this one we wanted to stay true. But we did decide to do our own spin on the solo and with the beat in the verse....the layers in sound etc....we also just cant help ourselves...lol. Thank you so much Rachel for requesting this one! We had a lot of fun making it! Here's a few pics from the session.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">With the help of our subscribers on Patreon we've recently been able to upgrade our camera for shooting music videos, vlogs and live content. With new gear comes new challenges and learning curves so J has been diving deep into how everything works. One way he has been testing is he has been adventuring to historic cemeteries this month to capture some pretty cool photos. Trying to learn how to properly balance aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. He's had fun discovering all the history and honoring the dead in his own way. With one new Music video under our belt with the new gear we are already starting to begin story boarding the next one. We can't wait to tell you about it. J will fill you in about some of the spooky backstories on some of these shots from the cemeteries tonight on Van Philosophy Live Vlogcast on YouTube. So be sure to tune in tonight at 8pm/est. We might even share some Ghost stories of our own. We'd love to hear your spooky stories!</span></p>

We know this year's festivities might be a little awkward, or at least not what we're used to but we hope whatever you plan to do, you can be around people you love (or at least, tolerate). Wherever you are, remember that we love you, miss you and hope we can make you smile. We made a silly little version of the Classic Halloween tune "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. We'd be absolutely honored if you made it a part of your 2020 Halloween background music whether you're having a social distance costume party or eating waaaay to much candy on the couch watching scary movies.</span></p>

If you haven't gotten a chance to check it out you can watch it on our YouTube Channel HERE. Don't forget to subscribe and share it with your friends. It really helps us reach new people. It was a lot of fun making it but at times, it was stressful. We had our ideas of what we thought it would turn out to be but through filming it we realized it's a story of this weird life during strange times and trying to insist on staying positive, being there for one another, remembering to not be so uptight due to the stress of it all, and allow yourself to enjoy the moment. It hits us in a very real and personal way. We hope it does for you too.</span></p>RoshambeauXtag:roshambeauxmusic.com,2005:Post/64535432020-10-14T08:00:00-04:002020-10-14T16:54:54-04:00New Music Video Premiers Tonight on Van Philosophy Vlogcast!<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Reschedule of Episode 20</span></strong></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>So... What are we?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">You've probably heard this question before in front of a "would be significant other," accompanied by butterflies in your stomach, a lump in your throat or that weird tingling in the sides of your mouth that let you know you just might throw up. It can be exciting and even a little nerve wracking putting a label on ourselves. We are both complex and simple, often spending a lot of time confusing the two. In a time where science often struggles to compete for our attention, it's important to remind ourselves of what we've learned to be true about ourselves. Like Socrates said, "If smart people write it down, you should memorize it. It'll save you a lot of frustration and time..." Or something like that.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Where Do We Come From?</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There are a lot of hypotheses when it comes to human origin. Some appeal to our desire for fantasy and will to create more than others. There's so much of history and existence that we are far from understanding but the evidence we have points us to scientific Theory of Evolution. It's very strange, that in world that relies so heavily on science that evolution is still debated, often regarded as "just a theory," forgetting that it is equally categorized with "Gravitational Theory," or "The Germ Theory of Disease."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Most college freshman can't give their Anthropology 101 professor an accurate definition of evolution without a quick Google search from their pocket (a luxury we didn't have when we were there). Sadly, it's still something that's often brushed over in a lot of American public schools. The theory of evolution does not exist to eradicate faith, fantasy or curiosity. It exists because it is the most tested, explainable, backed by evidence you can see, smell, taste or touch theory of the origin of all life, including humans. Don't worry about doing that quick Google search. We got you ;)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Evolution: (ĕv′ə-loo-shən, ē′və-)</strong><br> <em> Biology</em><br>Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, often resulting in the development of new species. The mechanisms of evolution include natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, mutation, migration, and genetic drift.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">There's a lot to get into but there's a really great article <a contents='"Applying Evolutionary Anthropology" ' data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480655/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>"Applying Evolutionary Anthropology" </strong></span></a>by Mhairi A Gibson and David W Lawson that comprehensively explains Evolutionary Anthropology and goes over a lot of it's common misconceptions (Naturalistic Fallacy, Social Darwanism, Behavioral Diversity & Genetic Determinism).</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_small">Cro Magnon 1 (Smithsonian)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">While our ancestors have been around for about 6 million years the earliest evidence for our current modern species Homo sapien, is around 300,000 years old. Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. Like other early humans, they gathered and hunted food, and evolved behaviors that helped them respond to the challenges for survival in harsh or unstable environments. Scientists sometimes use the term “anatomically modern Homo sapiens” to refer to members of our own species who lived during prehistoric times. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has a great article called <a contents='"What Does It Mean To Be Human," ' data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils/species/homo-sapiens"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>"What Does It Mean To Be Human," </strong></span></a>that goes into the modern human fossil record. It's definitely worth checking out.</span></p>

<p><br><span class="font_xl"><strong>How Many Races of Humans Exist Today?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c132a9f333491ae3e2315d4b3d161823a00f9f28/original/human-code.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Just one. We're it. Race is a synonym for Species. Over the past 20 years the estimation of human protein coding genes has ranged from 10,000 to 100,000 (right now it's 20,000-25,000 but genetic studies are very fast paced and that number is likely to change with new information) alongside an estimated 500,000 non protein coding genes. Regardless of how many human protein coding genes exist, the ones that you actually see, like skin color, hair texture and eye and nose shape only account a handful of these coding genes. We can unapologetically and unequivocally say that calling someone that "looks" different from you a different "race," is scientifically ignorant. Genetically, you have far more less in common with someone with a different blood type than someone from a different continent, culture or defining physical feature. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><span style="color:null;">Humans Are A Part Of Life And Nature</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When someone says they went outside and experienced nature, our minds usually paint a picture filled with trees, water sources and wild life. However, it's just as accurate to say that about cars, buildings, tv's and satellites. Although we may like to think so, we are not separate from nature. We are a highly evolved species but our actions often mimic the most primitive and predictable forms of life. We form cultures like bacteria, we colonize like ants, value individualism like spiders and seek out environments more suited for our survival like viruses. What separates us from nature is often a construct of our minds. We easily forget that 300,000 years is a very small fraction of existence on this planet, much less the known universe. It's important to remind ourselves that our own pride often gets in the way of our understanding. Life is worth diving into and understanding... We die and stuff.</span></p>

We absolutely love hearing what you have to say so don't be shy!

<p><span class="font_large">This last week to stay awake we've been streaming readings from The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient but strangely practical guide to life according to Hindu theology. Neither of us are very religious and we hadn't been familiar with it. We were very surprised at how hard it hit us. Frankly, there were things we needed to hear, especially as musicians.

<p><span class="font_large">We've all been cooped up for awhile now and while we know it certainly can have negative effects on the brain it can on the body as well. When you stay inside too much you start to feel "off." We always knew this in the back of our minds but over the past few months, being encouraged (and in some cases mandated) to stay at home, it's been way too easy to stay indoors. We figured the reason we feel like crap if we stay inside for too long was due to a lack of Vitamin D. While that may be the case, we found a collection of studies that suggest something else entirely. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We have a Facebook group called RoshamFAM that's an open forum for ideas, art & projects (since we're always pushing ours).

<p><span class="font_large">Through the continued affects of pandemic life, we've found it really important to find ways to cut cost of living but still maintain a sense of normalcy. As musicians, we knew when we quit our "normal jobs," 10 years ago, we more than likely would have to find ways to make a lower income work for our lives and ensure our survival while we pursued our passion. Back then, we were able to make that decision and prepare our minds for that inevitability but we know a lot of people have been thrown into it with little or no choice because of Covid-19. Through these current trials we're reminded of what it's like to be a "starving artist" again.

<p><span class="font_large">We've always been intrigued by video games, not just playing them but their history and how they affect society. We were a part of the first generation that grew up with them. It's crazy to see how they've become so integrated into society in such a short time. Even people that say, "I don't play video games," bide they're free time playing "Candy Crush," or take online quizzes to find out what kind of tree they are. It seems like they're everywhere now so we'd like to take a look at how they started, social problems, benefits and why we're so obsessed with them.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>The First Video Games</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Most people if they had to guess, would say the first video games came around in the 1970's with primitive electronic home and arcade systems like the Atari. While that was when they started becoming popular their origins actually go farther back.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device.</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/4b9c2dd3bdbb14fd03dabead6b6161bebdea4bf8/original/cathode-ray-tube-amusement-device.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The earliest video game device we could find was invented by Cornell physicist Thomas T Goldsmith Jr in 1947 called the cathode-ray tube amusement device.This device used an oscilloscope, a device that can graphically represent changes in voltage. The game itself used these "o-scopes" as they were called hooked up to analogue dials that would regulate and change voltage values. The o-scope would make an arc on the screen that would change positions based on where the dials were turned by the user.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This technology was previously used in early radar displays and was turned into a game by bored physicists where the beam now represented an imaginary artillery shell aimed at overplayed plastic targets. At the end of the beam's trajectory, the beam would defocus and blur looking like an explosion. Thus creating the first "3rd Person Shooter."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This repurposing and modification of military equipment led to other games like "Bertie The Brain," "OXO," a version of tic-tac-toe and "Tennis For Two," over the next several years by physicists that were supposed to be working on ways of furthering military intelligence and for the first time in human history someone, somewhere yelled, <strong>"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING PLAYING VIDEO GAMES? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING!!!"</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">From then on, we've been struggling to balance our moments of productivity and moments of recreation with electronic devices. However, this technology involving principles of analyzing voltage regulation lead to lots of other inventions including what today musicians call MIDI (musical instrument digital interface), a staple and almost a necessity in creating modern high quality recordings. So... we use it for work too...Mom.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Home Entertainment</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/bbe016523df121bfad09bab79929ef6432438170/original/brownbox.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It would be a few years until the rest of us would be able to enjoy this technology. In 1967, Ralph Baer and a team of developers working for Sanders Associates Inc invented a multiplayer video game system that could be hooked up to a home television screen called "The Brown Box." Baer licensed his invention to Magnavox who rebranded and sold the device as "The Odyssey" in 1972. The company made 28 games but the video game craze didn't quite catch on for a few years leading to console's decline and discontinuation. However, a few years later in 1975 it gave rise to the extremely successful home console and arcade company Atari, who essentially took their games and added slight variations. Magnavox sued Atari for copyright infringement and won over 100 million dollars. Since Atari was such a success both companies saw it fit to allow Atari to become an official Odyssey licensee over the next 20 years.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">A New Art Form.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">For itss already almost 30 year history, hardware and software were inherently linked. The games were the consoles and the consoles were the games. In 1979, Activision was the first company to arise as a software developer for games while not making any arcade or home entertainment systems of their own. This was the birth of an artistic revolution where today concept artists, script writers, voice actors, story directors and musicians have a new way to express their art and not have to know how oscilloscopes work.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Historic Mile Stones</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1978- launch of "Space Invaders" arcade game</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1980- Pac Man debuts in United States</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1981- "Mario" character introduced in Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" game</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1983- "Video Game Market Crash" (due to low quality, unregulated, unlicensed 3rd party games). Most video game companies went bankrupt.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1985- Nintendo releases 8bit graphic console NES</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1989- Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda & Metroid</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong> -Gaming licensing & intellectual property regulations imposed by Nintendo<br> - Nintendo releases handheld "Gameboy"</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Hold My Beer, Nintendo!</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/8ffafed67386c774116b928d4f0d91c29e2c5554/original/sega.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">After the video game crash Nintendo emerged with a new marketing plan for its 8-bit technology, marketing it as a toy not a video game. It seemed like no one would ever catch up or compete with there massive head start and virtual monopoly of the industry. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">That was the case until Sega, a company that appeared seemingly out of nowhere launched it's 16-bit (that's twice the bits!) full color console with it's iconic original character "Sonic The Hedgehog." At the time this was a huge technological leap in graphics and hardware capability. It would be like a car company coming out with a model that uses half the fuel, goes twice as fast and sold for about the same price. This started a console war with the two companies essentially trying to "one up" each other over the next several years with other companies like Sony and Microsoft eventually joining the race and giving rise to a multitude of 3rd party developers that are still around today. It's due to this rivalry that video games keeps pushing the limits of computer and graphic technology.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Violence in Video Games.</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/bf17c866645d9c84a1d65e3d29321b30a8d8e731/original/residentevilcollection.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">While it could be argued that the first violent video game was created in 1947 with physicist pretending to blow up imaginary airplanes with a rewired radar display most people point the finger at Sega with their 1990's releases of games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. After several congressional hearings and debates on "Do video games make kids violent?" Sega instituted a game rating council called to provide a description of each games content. This eventually formed into today's game rating system overseen by ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Do Video Games Make You Violent?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The short answer is no. There hasn't been any conclusive evidence that video games will make you violent (and people REALLY have tried). The studies conducted over the years have actually suggested the opposite as it seems to provide an outlet for violence that can be redirected into an object rather than another human being. Think of the person that gets mad and hits a punching bag at a gym for a few hours instead of their boss.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">What we have to remember is that video games are art and art tends to mimic what society is doing. If we didn't have war, no one would make games like Call of Duty. It would be a foreign concept that wouldn't make sense. Art can and always will be offensive as long as there are offensive aspects in our society. It's a good thing when we get offended by offensive things. Daniel Tosh said it best, "If you don't like my jokes encourage society to make better choices and I'll adjust my material accordingly." Art is a mirror. If you don't like what you see you need to change what the mirror is reflecting. If you break the mirror, that thing you don't like about yourself will still be there. You'll just be less equipped to do something about it.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Do Games Make You Lazy?</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/816b421a8c35616a2ab2416c802cdcb19bb70a58/original/videogames.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Absolutely. At least a lot of them have the potential to encourage it. Many of them (especially mobile games) are also designed to be addictive. These video games are based on the timeless psychology of "Action for Reward." You get a small amount of dopamine with every action. That's why it feels good to complete that level, defeat the the bad guy, put that puzzle piece right where it goes or get that colorful explosion when when you make a row of all gumdrops or candy canes (or however that last one works, we haven't played Candy Crush). It can become a problem just like anything that gives you a certain amount of dopamine for your choice to interact with it, like alcohol, dare-devil fishing or the worst one of all: social media. The WHO classified video game addiction as a mental illness in September 2019... but they also said it's a really great way to stop the spread of Covid 19 and maintain social connection in April 2020... so there's that.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">What we need to remember is that it's OK to be lazy every once in a while. It's ok to disconnect from reality every once in awhile and let art take you away in an immersive experience. That's why we're musicians. We want to offer you a distraction every once is awhile. You shouldn't use someone else's art as an excuse to ignore your responsibilities entirely. You shouldn't use ANYTHING to ignore your responsibilities entirely. However, as artists we understand that it's are job to let you have a break for awhile, as often as your responsibilities allow.</span></p>

<p><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="HLcBItueViY" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/HLcBItueViY/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HLcBItueViY?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/ddbaa94a6200b166d6ed9866a1d030542b2b5adf/original/socialmedia1.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Facebook issued some confusing statements last week about its most recent updates to its music policy taking effect on 10/01/2020. Here's what they said: </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/582bab6d62c4a1e8857425f6b59cdd0e024e2e46/original/screen-shot-2020-09-14-at-12-52-44-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lots of musicians panicked reading these statements because they are so vague. It very much seems like Facebook is discouraging any content for the purpose of listening to music. It seemed like live concert streams, music videos, vlogs with music in them will be removed since they constitute a "listening experience" and possibly lead to musician accounts being throttled or deleted. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Since the backlash of users and multiple publications, Facebook has clarified that these statements only apply to specific situations and have been their official policy since 2018. So here's a quick list of what Facebook says should and shouldn't be ok. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Allowed: </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Music Videos</strong> </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Facebook has clarified that music videos will not be removed from it's platform as long as the upload contains video associated with the upload. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">Bands uploading videos from a concert or streaming a concert live. </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Facebook has clarified that showing clips from a concert is OK and even showing a concert in it's entirety is ok as long as there is video associated with it. Facebook has said that shorter videos are preferred. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">Solo performances </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It seems like Facebook will still allow solo and band performances of cover material for now. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">What's Not Allowed: </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Uploading a video with "background music" that you do not own or have permission to use. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">DJing music you do not own. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Uploading songs or playlists that have no video or only a thumbnail image. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Uploading prerecorded albums (without video). </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What's Hazy </strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">DJing Live </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Facebook has said it will allow live performances but since DJ's use tracks that have already been recorded and in many cases did not write or do not own, it leaves a gray area. Are DJ's performing covers or are they uploading prerecorded tracks? Since the the Covid 19 quarantine lots of DJ's have experienced issues with Facebook's algorithms and experiencing strikes on their accounts, removal of videos and in some cases having their accounts deleted. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">Music Videos As Playlists/Collection </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Facebook has stated that the more prerecorded tracks a video has on it, the more likely it will be "limited." Since music videos are considered ok but album uploads are not it leaves a little confusion as to what Facebook would do with a collection of music videos in one upload.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What We've Learned About Social Media As Content Creators</strong></span></p>
<p><font size="3">Each social media platform is meant to be used differently and has advantages and disadvantages depending on what type of content you're creating. This is what we've observed so far.</font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">Instagram</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">Instagram favors good photography because it's about photography. Instagram pages tell stories through photos. Instagram is not meant for passing around information. It is only meant for showing the world what you're up to. There's no "Share" button instagram and there are no links to click on.</font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">YouTube</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">Youtube is meant for video. It's also the second most used search engine coming in behind Google. It's platform handles video better than any other major social media network. Live streams perform better and videos are clearer as it supports higher bit rates. In addition, it utilizes licensing of content very efficiently, protects artists from piracy and ensures that owners of content receive credit and useful notifications on their creations if someone else uses it later on with or without permission.</font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">Facebook</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">Facebook does a lot of things well and is a pretty good balance of photography and video but it favors sharing information. Facebook is meant for users to engage with each other and share content. We've found it's best for expressing ideas, discussing opinions and having conversations and it's algorithms seem to favor this as well. As artists we've noticed that viral posts on Facebook usually don't have much to do with our art and have more to do with our ideas. </font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">Spotify</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">Most people don't think of Spotify as "Social Media," but it very much checks the box for us as musicians. Spotify is only about music. While you can learn a little about the artist you're listening to directly on the platform (their current tour schedule, biography, social media links etc), those aspects are pretty limited but it's very valuable to create a "listening experience" for listeners and forge relationships between audio artists like musicians and podcasters with their listeners.</font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">Patreon</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">Patreon is meant to share exclusive paid content. It's very valuable to content creators as it allows them to share extra content with their subscribers in exchange for their financial support. Patreon is a very big part of how musicians and other content creators are able to survive in the digital age when merchandise sales or content sponsorships are not always enough to keep them going. </font></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_small">(Throwback to recording "Flat Tops & Wooden Boxes" at The Maelstrom Studio)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of people ask us if we're working on a full length new album and the truth is we always are. Even with our last album we had a few songs that we decided to save for a different project. We're always writing but it's a lot different from how we always imagined bands write albums.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Fall's almost here and we've noticed this is typically the time of year we put extra focus on songwriting. We're not really sure why. It might be a left over "Store-House" effect from our ancestors that needed to rack up on supplies before winter or maybe it's just a time to cool down and catch our breaths from a long hot summer. In any regard, we've been hitting the studio with brand new material a lot these past few weeks. We don't really have a cut and dry method to our process. It varies depending on the song. However, it usually starts with one of us having a very simple idea that sounds nothing like a song. So here's a few examples of what we've done in the past.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/518772b41cb2b217f22b21bfe5d944316db38c20/original/118785770-344802293546994-4240132210250497847-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Na-na-na-ing</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of our songs come about with one of us scatting something that won't get out of our heads. Usually if there are any lyrics, they don't end up in the final cut. This is how "Hunting Grounds" was written. We were sitting in J's kitchen and J kept mumbling this riff to himself. "Hey, what if we made that a guitar riff in something?" Kyle picked up a guitar and followed along through the typical "No, it's more like this" and "Yeah, do that again." </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The next week Kyle came back with a notebook with just a few lines for a verse as we hit the road for the next stretch of the tour. We finished the lyrics late one night in our hotel room each throwing out lines. "Oh, ok and after that how about this?' We even kept the Na-na-na's in the song! You can listen to it <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJXztzj2KCs"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Setting A "Scene"</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of times our songs aren't really inspired by anything musical. Sometimes it's just a feeling we can't shake whether it's a frustration or feeling really good for no apparent reason. One of us will say "It feels like I'm in this room, with these types of people etc." The other person might say, "Oh yeah? What's the girl in the back corner of the room wearing?" or "What color is the ceiling?" A lot of our songs come from painting a visual picture of a location, object or person and describing them. "Turn The Lights Up, " was written this way, so was "Got It."</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Waking up with Lyrics</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Every once in a while it seems like we're just given a song or at least part of a song in our sleep. With our song, "Neighbors" we released as a single earlier in 2020. J had been saying he had this idea for a song where the chorus went, "We don't care what the neighbors say." It went on for a few weeks. J would ask Kyle, "Hey man, do you have any ideas for that idea?"... "Not really, man. Every time I try I just come up with crap." A little more time went by, "Hey man, I can't get that thing outta my head. Any luck?" ... Same story.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Than one morning Kyle messaged J, "Hey lets get in the studio, I think I got a verse. I was literally dreaming and singing and woke up and wrote this down before I lost my twilight brain." We met up, left the 1st verse verbatim, wrote the second verse together (with some na-na-na-ing and scene setting), tightened up our ideas for the chorus and laid a few tracks down.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/da3dedbb6098aadede47ce9a44e05bfc6935de7b/original/118883329-331998534664232-1848395299992860449-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Leaving Room</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There's a lot of other ways we right songs. Sometimes one of us might even have an entire song with all the music and lyrics ready for tracking but we make sure we leave room for the other person. The rule usually is: if you're the one playing it, you have final say the details of the part. That being said, sometimes J writes guitar parts and sometimes Kyle writes drum parts. We know the other person is there to lean on if we're having trouble and we trust the other person's ear enough to know that they'll take an idea we came up with and make it even better. We usually don't argue too much about things. If one person feels really strongly about a particular choice the other one typically doesn't. We'll say stuff like, "I could get on board as long as you're 100% that's right." or "I think this is why it won't work right there. Let's put it here instead." We feel like it's important to help each other create balance and if something doesn't work the other person is there to help make it fit.</span></p>

We're really excited!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Upgrades</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We've been trying focus on ways we can create better content. Since we've had to take a break from touring this year due to Covid 19 restrictions we've pretty much been relying on our online content to keep us going. Neither of us were super savvy with the online content before the pandemic but it's been exciting to learn new ways of reaching people even though we can't be on a physical tour right now. We're SO grateful for our supporters on Patreon that are helping us continue and make improvements along the way! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/22f2712726a0b8200cd4b9ce174900a6ef32ca23/original/j-studio.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We'll be taking at least one more week off from Van Philosophy Live Vlogcast so we can wrap our brains around a few new pieces of tech for the main studio but we plan to return to normal streaming after Labor Day. J's been diving in head first into research and we're really excited to show you a few new things! We think it's gonna be awesome!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">On top of a few upgrades to the main studio, Kyle's gotten a tune up to his home office as well so we're able to share ideas ahead of our studio days. So far, it's been a great blessing and has helped boost our turn around and prep for production on the new music we've been working on. Kyle's notoriously shy in the studio and be able to stay in recording mode at home has made studio days a lot easier.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/caba31b76149118a70092e217157f9c3c515335a/original/kyle-office.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">In addition to new music, we're focusing on making some new types of video content as well. Right now, as a perk for our <strong>"High Fiver"</strong> supporters ($5/month) on Patreon, we're doing exclusive monthly performance videos. Each month, our patrons make suggestions on what we should do next. It's been really fun to step outside of our comfort zones with the suggestions that have come in. Last month's video was a reimagining of Ted Nugent's <strong>"Stranglehold."</strong> We were super intimidated on making an attempt to cover such an iconic rock song but we think it turned out great! So, if you've been enjoying what we do and would like to see more, hop on over to Patreon and sign up. There are tons of other behind the scenes content and music as well.</span></p>

<p><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="05X25VaQxeM" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/05X25VaQxeM/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/05X25VaQxeM?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c3541b2d56722a455906b0464eede8efb0596b17/original/inshot-20200817-154852178.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Awhile back, we were challenged to think of our "best self," and who that person is and what their typical day looks like. Anytime we find ourself not progressing we try to stop and ask ourselves, "What am I doing that's holding me back?" After all, the only one we're accountable for is ourselves. Life might deal blows and even tragedy but as creators we have to take responsibility for the worlds we create. It's easy to compare what we have to other people. "If I had what 'So-and-so has I'd have A, B or C." All to often we fail to realize that "So-and-so," probably has what they have because they made an effort to go get it and place themselves in a position to make it happen.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Even if someone wrongs us, it's a more efficient use of our time dusting ourselves off and moving on than sitting around and complaining. Imagine a cyclist in a race that falls off his bike. Instead of getting back on the road, he pulls off to the side and gathers the spectators and gives a seething speech on why his fall was not his fault. "They didn't pave the road properly here. My chain is dirty. The other racer cut me off! I could have come in first!" While all of these may in fact be true, it doesn't help him finish the race. He screams, "It's not fair!" He's totally right but the tragedy is that even if it was in fact out of his control, or worse, someone else's fault, it doesn't help him. It hurts him.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We feel more and more it's so easy to succumb to this mindset and it may even be warranted. This year especially has been rough and stressful. The music industry like so many others has come to a grinding halt and it's hard to stay positive when there's so much to complain about. The problem with this is that where we decide to put our focus ends up becoming a more vivid reality. Every single action we take starts with a thought, whether it's subconscious or meticulously planned for weeks. In short, when we focus on negative things, we do negative things. However, thankfully, the same is true of the opposite.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Neither of us are particularly religious but we always admired Creation stories. A being with only an idea says, "Let there be..." and it happens. We're not saying that this philosophy will yield a perfect existence like a lot of books suggest but we do feel that underneath the sentiment lies an inherent truth. If you only focus on falling off a bike you'll live your life with scabby knees. If you only focus on how messed up our political system is, it will never change. If you only focus on how much better your co-worker has it you won't ever get that promotion. It's because you're wasting time. You're wasting that thing inside you that wants to create something good.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>You Have To Believe In Yourself</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a8920f73337aaaaf826bc224ce0d817ceaff6718/original/inshot-20200817-154456260.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The only one that's in your way is you. We've learned this the hard way so many times and we're sure we're not done. As musicians, it's easy to buy into weird lies. "You have to be in the right place at the right time." As if serendipity is the only means of success. It's like saying, "The only way to start a business is to win the lottery." While this does happen (look up Baconaise), it's not normal. Cosmic cards don't have to line up just right for you to be happy and feel proud of what you're doing. Only you know what your dreams are. So, it's only up to you to go for them.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Successful Me</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We'd like you to take a challenge with us. If you knew that you'd reached the pinnacle of a successful life, make a list of what the person looks like. What does that person do when they wake up? What kind of attitude does that person have? Here's a few of ours...</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/659dcd0bc85316321327db6896ce0cf7b5b02988/original/inshot-20200817-154018897.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">More often than not, the things we really want don't require a different life. They require a different attitude and perspective. Imagine what life could be like if we just said what we want for ourselves instead of focusing on what we don't want. We see a huge issue with polarization between people that have most things in common. Most people want to have enough food, peace, low crime, access to good healthcare, safety for our loved ones, a good place to sleep when it's cold and to belong even when we make mistakes. We argue tirelessly, behind keyboards that make us 10 feet taller than we are in person and no one ever actually says what they want. The next time you want to complain skip it and just say what you want. You probably won't be met with any opposition because you're creating something good from the very start of the conversation. In the words of Socrates, "Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting the hardest battle." If we hope to be heard, we must first find out what we have in common. If we all want the same things we have a better chance of getting them if we ACTUALLY focus on them.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We've been diving into our own anxiety this week. This week's blog may be a little dark and heavy compared to some of our others, so if you just need some happier vibes right now go check out our other entries <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://roshambeauxmusic.com/van-philosophy"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>. Otherwise, here's what we've been discovering in our own heads.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>What is Anxiety?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Depending on where we looked, it seemed like there were a lot of different answers to what <em>anxiety</em> actually is (which doesn't help, lol). We think it's because it's hard to sum it up as just one thing. The AADA says there are 8 different kinds of anxiety disorders and it affects about 18% of our population. There's a wide range of how and why it affects people and to add insult to injury it's effects are usually along side an entire list of physical disorders from eating disorders, headaches, IBS to chronic back pain. We'll dive in a little more on our live vlogcast tonight (8/12/20) at 8pm but we encourage you to take a look at the <a contents="ADAA's Facts &amp; Statistics Page" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://adaa.org/about-adaa/press-room/facts-statistics"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>ADAA's Facts & Statistics Page</strong></span></a>.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of times when we look something up in the dictionary it feels like the denotation doesn't match our connotation, meaning "It just doesn't describe how it makes us feel." The American Heritage Dictionary says that anxiety is, "A state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties," and to be "Eager, often agitated with desire." To us, both of these statements used in conjunction sums up how anxiety feels. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>"I want to do this so bad but I just... can't."</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's awful feeling this way. As musicians, we often accept this state of being as normal. We call it "Stage Fright." You're so excited... You're so scared. It's like everything you want and need are on the other side of a brick wall and you have no idea how to climb it. You tell yourself you're being silly. Of course that brick wall is something you've just made up in your head. But it's like there's this voice that keep's saying, "It's real. You can't do this. You're going to fail." </span></p>
<p><font size="3">Because there are lots of different types of anxiety there isn't a one size fits all treatment. We can tell you what's worked for us in the past but if you feel like you need help with it, it's not a bad idea to tell your doctor about it. It's worth trying to understand what's getting in your way and how to overcome it.</font></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong><font size="3">1. We give ourselves a day.</font></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong><font size="3"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/083731778ec5919e32e12b98dfb2a9f6d5859688/original/inshot-20200810-162019209.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></font></strong></span></p>
<p><font size="3">It's so simple, yet it feels so hard to do. After all, if you take a day off aren't you being lazy? As ridiculous as that sounds that's often the reality of our mindset. What makes it almost tragic is that, if you don't let things rest you will get less things done and that alone can cause anxiety. Give your brain a break. Do something just for fun (even if it's taking a nap in a hammock). Joy is not meaningless. It's good for you. It's so much better to 'waste' a day with your friends or family than get 'caught up' if it's at the expense of your sense of well being.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">In Roshambeaux, we both have days like that. Recording is like pulling teeth when that happens. We get all tense and weird. We make silly mistakes. And tell each other, "Yeah let's do another take... I'm ready to get this over with." We forget that you're doing something you love. It comes out in the take. The take sounds like it's anxious and you question your life. The result ends up in a "wasted day." What's always funny is that if we come back the next day fresh, we usually knock it out in one take.</font></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large"><font size="3">2. Stop. Eating. Junk.</font></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large"><font size="3"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/4f28a96e1e41b5950a556a0cec752bf4d73b8370/original/inshot-20200810-162829163.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></font></span></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">We know all about comfort food. We are not denying it's amazing. We think you're weird if you don't. However, it doesn't help with anxiety. It actually makes it worse. Anxiety is a tough battle all on its own but if you don't give your body what it needs to fight you not even giving yourself a chance. Eat green things that come out of the ground and eliminate as many steps from harvest to your mouth as possible. </font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">3. We Find something that helps us function.</font></strong></p>
<p><strong><font size="3"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/537d41a4e31c596e18849c31c9c381c701a8787c/original/inshot-20200810-163821905.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">Sometimes, we get nervous at the idea of taking things things habitually, even things like coffee. It plays into the "I need to do this on my own" stubborn mentality. A lot of artists are like that. However we've found out if you don't take the first part of your day to make sure you feel good, you'll be struggling with it all day. There's a wide range of supplements and herbal remedies that we think work for us but we think it's equally important to find something fun to do that makes you sweat and loosen up. Even if you have "So much to do," take the time everyday to make sure you feel good, in a healthy way.</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p><font size="3"><span class="font_xl"><strong>Talk It Out.</strong></span></font></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font size="3">If you're dealing with anxiety, talk to someone about it. Just having someone there can make a huge difference. We all go through times where we need somebody to lean on. If you don't have anyone feel free to join us Wednesday night's for our live Vlogcast and become a part of our community. We're here for you. We also have a group on Facebook called <a contents="RoshamFam" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://facebook.com/groups/roshamfam/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>RoshamFam</strong></span></a>, a safe place to talk about art, projects, ideas and life.</font></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">What if we told you that the Government is in fact admittedly in possession of UFOs, there are thousands of people in Europe protesting mask mandates, a high profile astrophysicist briefed the The Pentagon on spaceships "not of this earth," element 115 might be able to produce forcefield technology and the CIA tested LSD on civilians? It sounds crazy. It sounds like either we're losing our minds because we've been in quarantine for too long or we're all in big trouble because the government is lying to us, doesn't it? The funny thing about all of this is: It's all true... and isn't that big of a big deal. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Wait... What?<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/27e13309768f7756ea8f68fddcaeed37d23f36fd/original/illuminaughty-cover.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We love conspiracy theories. Just look at our artwork for our full length albums (which you can listen to on Spotify <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0I8EYkvXECMXLMPDpjK9s8"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>). So, anytime we hear a good one, we like to check it out, stay up late and talk about it. Part of the reason we started "Van Philosophy" last year wasn't just to keep ourselves awake on a long drive to the next city on tour but because we want to have a "sibling-like" understanding of the world around us.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/15eaaa4703eef76130eec48a64e56dc06905273b/original/plato.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The word philosophy comes from a pairing of two Greek words:<strong> φιλέω</strong> (phileo) and <strong>σοφία</strong> (sophia). Sophia, simply means wisdom or understanding. Phileo means love but it's not as broad of a word as it is in English. You may have heard that "Philadelphia," is "The City of Brotherly Love." Brotherly love defines "phileo" to a native English speaker very well. If you have siblings (or close friends you consider family) think about how you love them. It's a lot different from the way you "love" a good meal, a sports team or sex (which are all different words in Greek). Phileo is the kind of love you reserve for someone you care about even when it's not easy. It's more or a sense of honor and obligation than it is a feeling. Although, it's not something you have to tip-toe around. If you're brother does something stupid, you call him out on it and hopefully he understands why. This is the type of love we want to have for learning. We question it when it doesn't make sense but we also stick up for it when it needs it.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Best Lies Are Slivers of Truth.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As artists we tell lies so hopefully people know the truth. We create something artificial, whether out of paint, words or spaces between musical notes, so hopefully the observer or listener can find something real. However, it seems every time we look down at our phone there is someone telling us the truth so hopefully we'll be deceived. Here's a few examples of true statements said over the last week, that may get you to believe a lie if you're not careful.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>1. "The US Government is in possession of UFOs from the 60s."</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/92446ea4675d321af287395b4f9491daf5709502/original/cia-ufo.gif/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's totally true. If we dig into protocols of classified and declassified information in the United States government we generally find that classified information tends to have a shelf life of about 60 years given its sensitivity. It's 2020 now, so lots of information from the 1950-1960s is becoming declassified. During those times, the United States was going through a lot: Hot wars with Korea, The Philippines & Vietnam, Cold ones with Russia and Cuba, rising tensions with a growing amount communist countries, the Space Race, a Civil Rights movement and trying to round up Nazi's that escaped from justice and offer a means of redemption to their scientists under Operation Paperclip.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With all this going on it would be extremely unlikely that the US Navy DIDN'T discover flying objects it was unfamiliar with. One might argue, they weren't doing their job very well if they didn't, as the US Navy's main mission is to keep wars far away from US soil. One also might argue that CIA wouldn't have been doing it's job if they hadn't studied, tested and even attempted to replicate what was found. 60 years later, the public is just starting to be able to review government intelligence from the time period. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This doesn't mean that aliens don't exist. However, it's easy to think it's being suggested when someone asks, "Do you have UFOs," and the quick answer is, "Yes." Perhaps, the question, "Did you ever come across any technology you didn't immediately recognize during 3 wars, a conflict and a space race?" doesn't make good news stories or late night conversations. Connotation is everything.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>2. "There are thousands of people protesting mask mandates in Germany."</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/d925548bd8ea965e8e07a8c46e884845c026bd5f/original/germanprotest.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br><br>This is totally true. However, the statement remains true if we find two thousand people that disagree with mask mandates out of Germany's population of almost 84 million people. When information is left out it creates a tunnel vision view of the world that can encourage irresponsibility. It creates false majority. Sensationalism distorts facts. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>3. "An Astrophysicist briefed the Pentagon on 'Off world vehicles not made on this earth.'"</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3e35a8b1ea4d73b01590c9eab5032aa192cbfd13/original/ericdavis.jpeg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Totally True! If you want to look up more about it his name is Eric Davis and was formerly a defense consultant for the US government. What was said in this meeting remains classified and more than likely will for another 60 years or so. Does this mean that the Pentagon found an alien spacecraft and needed an astrophysicist to confirm it? That's totally possible and we'd hope that's what they'd do if that were the case. However, it's very likely that the briefing was about how to determine what materials are native to our home planet, which one's are not and how an analysis of physics and aeronautics from an expert can determine whether a craft (whether real or theoretical) is air-worthy, space-worthy or both. Sure hope it's aliens though!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>4. Element 115 may be the answer to 'Force Field' technology."</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/1bec369e50a53e9b079186de08e60c8743849547/original/moscovium.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span><br><br><span class="font_large">If you haven't watched <strong>"Bob Lazar- Area 51 & Flying Saucers" </strong>on Netflix you TOTALLY NEED TO CHECK THAT OUT! You also should not read the next paragraph or two until you've watched it so we don't spoil anything for you. That is, if you're into that sort of thing.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The statement about element 115 is true but printing it in news papers is not responsible journalism. While a few people claim that element 115 was discovered in the 1980s the majority of the the international physics & chemistry communities agree that element 115 (Moscovium) was first observed in 2003 in Russia by Russian and American scientists. We're not going to explain the finer details of particle acceleration (because honestly, there's a lot we don't really get) but this is an oversimplified explanation of how scientists discover new elements on the periodic table.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The numbers on the Periodic Table of Elements correspond with the element's atomic weight, or mass. The lightest known element Hydrogen (H) has an atomic weight of 1.008 and is 1st on the table. The heaviest known element Oganesson (Og) has an atomic weight of [294]ix which means it has no known stable nuclides (number of protons and neutrons) and its value indicates the mass number of it's longest lived isotope (chemical variant where the number of neutrons have changed in an element). It takes slot 118 on the table. </span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">How New Elements Are Observed.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b5d61ecfe01f499457c5316a4630ba7700b085c2/original/cerncollider.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">While natural elements can just be observed with a really fancy microscope, synthetic elements need more of a process. New elements are typically discovered by adding the mass of two known elements together and seeing what happens. The problem with actually doing this is a principle called "electrostatic repulsion." Positively charged particles tend to not want to stick together just like two positive ends of magnets. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you have two positively charged magnets and you're strong enough, you can hold them together for a brief moment. The same can be done with atoms but because we can't get our hands around them and hold them together we fire them at each other as fast as we can and take a picture of what happens when they "touch." This moment in time is usually only -10 to the 20th power of a second: a RIDICULOUSLY short period of time.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When this happens, scientists get a snapshot of the element's properties and can make fairly accurate assumptions and predictions like atomic weight, melting point, group, density and electronegativity. What we have to remember is that ALL of that data is a prediction. So saying it's possible for a new element to have a unknown isotope that can do a specific thing is a true statement. We'll only know for sure if someone proves it, though.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/df28914e1aa3fe44464490325a098be151904616/original/maskbb2.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's very true. It's generally true for most viruses. If someone is sick and you are wearing a mask it doesn't do much to protect you. However, it helps tremendously if someone is sick and wears a mask to help keep moisture from their mouth contained and reduces the airstream directed at other people. It's why your dentist wears a mask, so she doesn't spit in your mouth. With Covid-19 being a highly communicable, water transfered virus, masks do help but only if the people that actually have it wear one. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The reason why so many responsible people are urging that we all wear a mask in public is because a lot of people are asymptomatic, meaning they don't show symptoms. "I'm not sick," isn't a convincing argument unless you get a test showing negative results and proceed to live in a vacuum.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3649173b0de55c0a647708570528209d4f39756f/original/ld-2.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Through the continued affects of pandemic life, we've found it really important to find ways to cut cost of living but still maintain a sense of normalcy. As musicians, we knew when we quit our "normal jobs," 10 years ago, we more than likely would have to find ways to make a lower income work for our lives and ensure our survival while we pursued our passion. Back then, we were able to make that decision and prepare our minds for that inevitability but we know a lot of people have been thrown into it with little or no choice because of Covid-19. Through these current trials we're reminded of what it's like to be a "starving artist" again. We imagine a lot of people outside of the entertainment industry do too. Back then, we quit smoking and learned how to make e-cig coils and vape juice from scratch (It easily saved us $200/month). We've kicked vaping as well and this time we're focusing on healthier ways to cut cost. Honestly, it's not just about saving a little more money during these hard times. We feel that crafting allows you to put a little bit of your soul into something useful. It's meaningful. It's good for you. We think if you can find a way to make art, you should, anyway you can.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>How To Make Laundry Detergent<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/29951279caf8f8d0fc203b0a76b482f59ded36d7/original/ld-list.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's not something you think about very often but laundry detergent can be ridiculously expensive, especially considering what's actually in it. In the United States, consumers spend, on average, $15-25 once or twice a month on laundry detergent which can equal to anywhere from $180-$600 per year. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With the list of ingredients below you can save anywhere from $148 to $564 per year! On top of that, you won't be at the mercy of what detergent companies think smells good. We'll give you the average price of these these ingredients and break down the cost of a 60 load container below and show you how to make your own.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Ingredients</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">1.5 cups Washing Soda ($4.12 for 55oz, cost per 60 loads: $0.91)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">1.5 cups Baking Soda ($0.52 for 16oz, cost per 60 loads: $0.39)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">.5 cups Epsom salts ($4.87 for 3lbs, cost per 60 loads: $0.40)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">.25 cups Himalayan Pink Salt ($7.77 for 2lbs, cost per 60 loads $0.97)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Optional- 30-40 drops of Essential Oils ($6 for 1oz, cost per 60 loads $0.36)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/592ac79bd214da3e59b4c19d3fe675418f8851a8/original/ld-ingredients.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Steps</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Mix all dry ingredients</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Add essential oils (optional)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Makes 3.75 cups- Use one heaping tablespoon per medium size load.<br>Each batch makes about 60 loads and costs about $2.67 (round up closer to $3 if scented)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">*We found this works best with standard top loading washing machines adding detergent while the water is filling and then add your clothes. If you're wondering about the pros and cons of liquid or dry laundry detergents we found a good article <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.charliesoap.com/liquid-vs-powder-laundry-detergent/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Making Bar Soap</span></strong><br><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c1c681981103c4387092647fb9cb4f6d8c3d8a13/original/barsoap.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This process is a little more labor intensive and requires a good set of goggles and rubber gloves but has similar annual savings. This recipe makes about 3lbs of soap that's great for cleaning your hands and body.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Ingredients</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Lye Solution</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">7.2oz Food Grade Lye</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">15oz Distilled Water</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Oil Mixture</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> 15oz Coconut Oil </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> 15oz Olive Oil </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> 12oz Sweet Almond Oil </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> 6oz Shea Butter </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> 1.5oz Castor Oil </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's best to use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. The closer you get to the exact amounts, the better your soap will be. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/181015cb7c9393d450ea5a451a047a84fc4de99f/original/barsoap-ingredients.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Tools</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A large crockpot </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> A digital kitchen scale </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> Safety glasses and plastic gloves </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Heat proof containers- like Pyrex</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A hand blender </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> A soap mold</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Set Up</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">1. Set Crock Pot To LOW</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">2. Measure your oils & solids and add to the crock pot </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>3. Get the lye solution going while the oils are melting.</strong><br><br>IMPORTANT! ALWAYS MEASURE OUT THE WATER FIRST. THEN THE LYE. Never add the water to the lye because you may end up with a volcano. Lye can burn you so be sure to wear goggles, gloves and use a heat safe container like pyrex. Let the lye solution sit for a few minutes while oils are melting down.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">4. Pour Lye Solution into Oil Solution, gently.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/671606c36e6c0b34aff56a07e00a53da9a64285d/original/barsoap-oils.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>5 Mix & "Trace"</strong><br><br>Get your stick blender and begin to stir. BE SURE TO WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLOVES & GLASSES! The lye solution is caustic, and the soap mixture will be caustic until the lye is completely cooked out. Stir until the mixture reaches "trace." This means it looks like thick pudding, leaving hills on the surface. At this point you can add coloring if you like. You should stir until all is evenly mixed. Make sure there are no clumps.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">6. Cook</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Put the lid on the crock pot and cook for 45min to an hour</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">7. Stir... A LOT!</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In the beginning, you will see the cooking mixture rise up the sides of the crockpot. If everything is REALLY hot, the whole mass will rise. Don't worry, just stir it until it calms back down and continue cooking. If you see any opaque areas at all, the soap is NOT ready.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>8. Continue cooking and stirring.</strong></span></p>
<p><br><span class="font_large">You will see it turn into a translucent mass with a gel like consistency. At this point, it is done. It takes about 45min to an hour. It's best to leave in a little longer just to make sure the lye is completely gone.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>How To Test To Make Sure It's Done Cooking...</strong></span><br><br><span class="font_large"><strong>pH Test</strong><br>Use a pH strip. It should be around 5.5</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>ZAP Test</strong><br>Soap should feel waxy in your fingers and cool quickly. Take a small amount of soap and put it to the tip of your tongue. If it "zaps" you, it's not done. Soap that is done tastes like soap and doesn't tingle. If it looks wrong, it probably is.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>9. Add Essential Oils</strong><br>While the soap is still in the crockpot, turn the crock pot off. Let it cool for a minute or two and add your essential oils or scents if you'd like. 2-3oz is about the sweet spot for a 3 pounds depending on how fragrant you like your soap.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>10. Mold</strong></span><br><span class="font_large"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/2c1a81fe7cd55f3cbb6b21db4130089110bf2811/original/barsoap-mold.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong><br>Put the soap in a soap mold. Be sure to tamp down any air pockets.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Let the soap cool overnight. The longer you leave it, the longer the scent will last. Remove from the mold and cut into desired shapes.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">With the recent resurge of Covid-19 cases a lot of people are wondering if a second stimulus check is necessary for the American economy. As musicians, we've seen several of our favorite venues close last week, because of employees testing positive for Covid 19, with plans on re-opening when "it feels safe to do so." We've also seen a few places close their doors for good, unable to recover from the economic hardships of these past few months. The music industry, along with so many others have taken a crippling blow. It's very likely that concerts and large gatherings for entertainment will not resume until 2021.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We've Been Dragging This Out...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We want things to go back to normal. As musicians, we really miss being out on the road, seeing people and giving out sweaty hugs after the show. There's a lot of talk in the media that this quarantine life is just, "The New Normal." It's frustrating and we don't want to accept it. We've seen the majority of other countries opening back up while here in the United States there's talk of a second wave of shutdowns and the need for a second stimulus. Ignoring problems don't make them go away. On the contrary, it exacerbates them. The music industry like so many others are stalled. It's baffling that in a country with so many unquestioned safety and hazard laws the majority of us can't seem to accept a simple temporary solution for controlling the spread of a virus that's continuing to affect our way of life. This virus will eventually become just like all of the other diseases humanity has dealt with in the past but our actions now have a direct impact on how long that will take.</span></p>

<p><font size="3">We're proud to be Americans. We think that personal freedom is valuable and part of what makes this country great. We think that in order to maintain it we have to be responsible. Throughout history, governments whether Democratic or Tyrannical steps in with force when the people mismanage a threat. We're seeing the start of this now in South Carolina with bars. Last week, the state instituted an "Alcohol Sales Curfew" in an attempt to force the limit of time people gather in response to a surge in Covid-19 cases. Our country was founded on a "Don't tell me what to do mentality," and if we value that as a good thing, we need to take on the the responsibility of maintaining it or else the government will. Freedom is a burden we have to bear but unequivocally believe it is worth it.</font></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We sing about addiction quite a bit. It something that hits home for us as we've seen a lot of people we care about struggle with it in one form or another. One of our songs "Poison Well," is about feeling of hopeless, trapped in a self injuring cycle. You can listen to it here on <a contents="YouTube" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG8mb1inkWQ"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>YouTube</strong></span></a> or on <a contents="Spotify" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4mbAZlCkkTZIy7INYMxZl9?si=ajjypkihQ4WxwIv9QCp9fw"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Spotify</strong></span></a>.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Covid-19 has affected human health, prosperity and economic stability all around the world. The United States has seen an estimate of 40 million jobs lost due to this pandemic and with recent spikes in cases the number is expected to go up. It easy to feel hopeless in a time like this and unfortunately many support systems (group addiction counseling, drug court programs, treatment facilities, churches) have been closed or forced to scale back. In the United States we've seen a steady increase in substance abuse this year since February.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Overdoses in The United States in 2020 (compared to 2019)</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">JAN: <span style="color:#2ecc71;">-.03%</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">FEB: <span style="color:#c0392b;">+16%</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">MAR: <span style="color:#c0392b;">+18%</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">APR: <span style="color:#c0392b;">+29%</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">MAY: <span style="color:#c0392b;">+42%</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Authorities initially thought with closed borders and locked down cities we'd see a decrease in overdoses as supply chains dry but it seems to be the exact opposite. With familiar supply disrupted, many users are seeking out alternative substances from other suppliers. With the decrease in available support and liquor stores being deemed essential, these numbers are expected to continue rising.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Addiction Is A Disease of Isolation</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><em>“So much of addiction has nothing to do with the substance itself. It has to do with pain or distress or needs that aren’t being met.”</em><br><strong>-Robert Ashford, Addictions Counselor</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As humans, we value belonging more than food or shelter. When that is taken from us, we'll try like hell to fill that need any way we can. It's why you can't sleep or don't feel like eating when you're sad. It's powerful and what makes us human. We need each other more than anything.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>How to Help & Where To Get Help.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you see someone struggling reach out to them. Don't say "It's probably nothing," or "They're dealing with enough, I don't want to intrude." Reaching out saves lives. If you or a loved one is dealing with substance abuse you are not alone. There are lots of people who care and have devoted their lives and careers to helping people deal with addiction. Reach out. Here are a few places:</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>How Masks Help Stop The Spread of Coronavirus</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With rising cases of Covid-19 in the United States we'd like to encourage everyone to wear a mask while out in public to help protect those who may experience complications who contract it, specifically those with an already compromised immune system. Wearing a mask does help.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We've all been cooped up for awhile now and while we know it certainly can have negative effects on the brain it can on the body as well. When you stay inside too much you start to feel "off." We always knew this in the back of our minds but over the past few months, being encouraged (and in some cases mandated) to stay at home, it's been way too easy to stay indoors. We figured the reason we feel like crap if we stay inside for too long was due to a lack of Vitamin D. While that may be the case, we found a collection of studies that suggest something else entirely.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We have a Facebook group called <a contents="RoshamFAM" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/roshamfam/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>RoshamFAM</strong></span></a> that's an open forum for ideas, art & projects (since we're always pushing ours). One of our fam shared these studies with us on from <strong>The Journal of Environmental and Public Health</strong>. Shout out to Cheryl.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Usually, environmental health studies seem to focus on negative health of effects of your environment but this one suggests there's literally a whole world of positivity right underneath your feet. The earths surface is teeming with electrons and our modern way of life puts a barrier between us (concrete, asphalt, shoes). Returning to a more primitive human environment, a.k.a. getting your hands and feet dirty, once a day can can have a tremendous effect on your sense of well being. Here are 8 ways making direct contact with the Earth's surface can improve your health.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">1. Regulating Sleep</span></strong></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/811c302892c6c6ae66061a7cd83bf3c1b109e626/original/moonsleep.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">You need sleep. No one needs to explain to you that if you don't get good sleep you'll be miserable. Earthing has been proven to to improve the time it takes to fall asleep, the quality of sleep and waking feeling rested.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>2. Chronic Pain</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/353edcfb8442377b21b0fc7b8fc4bbe6fe148e2d/original/backpain.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">82% of men and women in a blind study reported improvement in muscle stiffness and 74% reported improvement in chronic back or joint pain compared to 0%-12 who reported improvement in the control group.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>3. Lower Blood Pressure</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/de81dac1bacfca442a062309e717e2b9676ceb2a/original/bp.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Some test subjects reported improvements with symptoms associated with high blood pressure, hypertension and even some respiratory conditions.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>4. Improved Cortisol Levels</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/969ea794a88247f7ec87e2682aa30bfe0aa2f834/original/cortisol.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">You need cortisol in your body to help control blood sugar levels, regulate metabolism, fight inflammation & assist in memory formation. However, too much cortisol can be very bad for you. Specifically, in men, high cortisol levels slow or stop the production of testosterone. While abstaining from certain foods like flax seeds, vegetable and hydrogenated oils (which are TERRIBLE for you anyway) can help regulate cortisol, Earthing seems to be effective as well.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">5. Eliminates Ambient Voltage</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/6b0efbfd151dab565054e9c7278b520af0a29fe0/original/volts.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There's still a considerable amount of debate on whether ambient voltage in the body caused by common electric power sources is harmful to humans but we can prove that the body is indeed effected by it. You absorb extra electricity from stuff in your house and walking barefoot outside discharges it.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">6. Stress</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/2079e71e2896f2f87e93962402d46cefecd85008/original/brain.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Understanding the technical aspects of this particular double-blind study on how earthing affects stress requires a little more knowledge of root mean square (rms) values of electroencephalograms (EEGs) and how it relates to blood volume pulse (BVP). You're welcome to read more about it in section 2.4 of the study <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/?fbclid=IwAR3ow_kQNLGY_FpA2pAnuaadISKiAKiTNUiTuVsSboWqvOo40kJrkug_p90"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We know you don't have time, but basically, you can stick a bunch of pads on people, measure specific electrical values and/or changes in their bodies and see how it effects their heart, brain, lungs and muscles. When you're stressed, your heart, brain, muscles and lungs react a certain way and that information can be quantified. Earthing has almost an immediate effect on your your body's EMP and BVP. In short, if you're stressed go outside and walk in the grass for awhile. You'll feel better.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>7. Breathing/ Heart Rate</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a78e6d84907c9797ebf245cd1f00132f39135b22/original/lungs.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Another associated study has suggested that earthing can help stabilize variance in blood oxygen levels (BO), increase respiratory rates, stabilize heart rate variability (HVR) and raises the heart rate just enough to suggest metabolic healing response (due to an increase in oxygen levels).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>8. Immune system<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/7fd0821a23d6b5a8aa807c52047a5c91743d61e2/original/germs.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Earthing boosts your immune system. Another entirely separate study monitored levels of gamma globulin concentration in test subjects and noticed an increase in levels after earthing as well as the bodies abilities to absorb and maintain healthy vitamin and mineral levels.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There's a whole lot more to these collection of studies and you can take a more detailed look at the collection at <strong><a contents="ncbi.nlm.nih.gov" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/?fbclid=IwAR3ow_kQNLGY_FpA2pAnuaadISKiAKiTNUiTuVsSboWqvOo40kJrkug_p90"><span style="color:#3498db;">ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</span></a></strong><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong> </strong></span>We knew our moms were right when they told us to go play outside but we had no idea the depth of it's meaning. Obviously, there are lots of ways of treating all the things we've mentionioned but we found these studies to be interesting.</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">The Georgia Guide Stones</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c156a3d15e68b77319cae4dd74caff72345ef72e/original/guidestones2.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">J got a chance to go see the the Georgia Guide Stones in Elbert County, GA this past week. We've heard about them but we've always wondered what they say. While it seems like an ancient ruin it was actually erected in the 1980s and is often referred to as the "American Stonehenge." It's made from 6 granite slabs, stands over 19 feet tall and weighs 237,746 lbs!</font></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><font size="3">Brief History</font></span></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">In 1979 a mysterious man known only as Robert Christian (no one knows his real name) approached the Elberton Granite Finishing Company representing "a small group of loyal Americans," as he put it, with the idea for the structure. The monument would serve as a compass, clock and calendar that would hopefully be able to withstand natural, human or technological disaster. The company called him "a nut" and quoted him a price several times higher than the cost of labor and material. They were shocked when the mysterious man accepted the quote saying his secret group had been planning the idea for over 20 years.</font></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><font size="3">Inscription</font></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><font size="3"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/db0febf433949ede94eb7c9fdf20f963ebb53102/original/guidestones-english.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></font></strong></span></p>
<p><font size="3">So, this mysterious man and his secret society wanted 10 things written on the monument. This is what was inscribed in English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian.</font></p>
<p><span class="font_large">1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. <br>2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity. <br>3. Unite humanity with a living new language. <br>4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason. <br>5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. <br>6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. <br>7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. <br>8. Balance personal rights with social duties. <br>9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite. <br>10. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>J's Thoughts</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3fecafb4ef59a46c597bc518db454acb77d30c4f/original/guidestones-j.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">On the Inscription.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">"Most people believe this to be a depopulation monument due to the first 'commandment.' I do tend to agree with most of the statements except the first, realizing that 500,000,000 is roughly the population of India. This number seems to be a false expectation. But maybe they just forgot a few zeros? The second "commandment" I thought, at first, was very Nazi-ish but I soon realized they were only saying to not f*ck your sister... lol. Everything else I think most would easily agree with."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c2101af2e3d125d49f6e5bda25a4b820291cff0f/original/guidestones.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>On Seeing it.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">"It felt no different than any other monument I've visited except this one had a little more "fabricated" feel to it. I did find it interesting that this being built roughly 40 years ago and socially already has a sense of mysticism around it. I also reflect on why, in our modern times, we don't have more things like this to preserve our moral and social ideals against the test of time. Carving something into stone, as we've seen in our historic past, lasts a lot longer and has more impact than information stored on a server or harddrive."</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Hey RoshamFAM! A lot of people have been writing in and asking us how artists are keeping their heads above water during these strange and unprecedented times. We've gotten a chance to talk to a few of our artists friends over the past few weeks so here's our collective opinion.</span><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/e36c26c53deb927d1cc10d659c8a0bfb13e8b434/original/fromm.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Art-Is-Love-Is-Art </span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Erich Fromm was an amazing Jewish-German psychologist who escaped Nazi Germany. His words about love, art and freedom still inspire us today. He helped us understand that love and art are really not that different. They’re both choices we make. They’re both giving of the self for someone else’s benefit. Perhaps most importantly if you sell either of them it makes you a… well, we won’t say it out loud, lol. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As artists, it’s often a personal struggle to ask for or charge money for what we do. We didn’t get into this because we wanted to be rich or famous. We got into this because we genuinely think it’s our small way of making the world a better place. We like seeing people be happy and kind to one another. We like showing people it’s ok to be angry when it makes us do the right thing. We like talking about love in all it’s forms; It’s why we’re all here. We like singing about pain because we think it’s the best way to find healing. We didn’t want these things to be just a small part of our lives. We wanted them to define us. So, we dropped everything else, even our “Day jobs.” </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We know not every artist feels this way. We actually wrote a song about it called <strong>Ms Dichotomy</strong>. You can listen to it on <strong>Spotify</strong> right now for free. Just click the Spotify image below. Don't forget to like & follow!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>4 Ways To Help Creators That Make Free Content </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>1. Just Enjoy It. </strong><br>The simplest way to support content creators is to absorb their content. Watching their videos, streaming their music and sharing their content with your friends on social media goes a really long way. By absorbing their content, even though it's not directly supporting them, offers encouragement and exposure to new people, especially when you share it.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><strong>2. Tell Your Friends.</strong><br>You're the big break your favorite artist needs. Sure, a nice feature spot on the right platform might offer a decent amount of exposure in the moment but it pales in comparison to what you can do for them. Personally, when we look at our favorite artists, they're not our favorites because we saw them on tv. They're our favorites because we link them to a memory of our friends sharing them with us. They became a part of our relationships. If you want to help an artist, you don't have to help them come up with some scheme to have millions of people see them all at once (although, it's a nice thought). All you have to do is tell a few friends that you think might enjoy them as well. As artists, it means the world to us! We got tagged in this and it made our day!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Social Media (especially, <a contents="Facebook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://facebook.com/Roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Facebook</strong></span></a>) makes it easy to tell you friends about something you enjoy and invite others to enjoy it as well. Here's how you can do it (and yes, we're selfishly using our page as an example). This will do way more for your favorite content creator than any other promise of "exposure," because it's coming from you.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><strong>3. Give on Patreon</strong><br>With more and more live event centers announcing delays on reopening and facing second waves of shutdowns due to new Covid 19 cases, a lot of artists who relied on live performance as a steady means of income are having to shift to online content creation to stay afloat. When you're starting out, it's a little daunting (we speak from experience). You have to create free content for your audience, especially if you are trying to grow a new one online. It makes sense. You wouldn't buy something from a guy you just met if you didn't have the slightest idea of what it is you're buying. That's why so many Youtube shows, Spotify podcasts and online concert streams are free to stream and stay that way.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So, if you want to support an artist that makes free content, a very simple way is to donate to them on a platform like Patreon, even if it's just $1 a month. There are a tons of content creators on there from famous astro physicists like <a contents="Neil Degrasse Tyson" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.patreon.com/startalkradio"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Neil Degrasse Tyson</strong></span></a> to single moms that make folk art. Most content creators offer unique rewards for being a monthly supporter. By doing so you become a part of their creation process and allow them to continue to create. Here's what we offer our supporters.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/39b373333433df0daaf7d6d73feaeaa2bb267d48/original/patreonfulltier.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><strong>4. Buy Their Art</strong><br>It's kind of the obvious one on our list but we often forget it. Not only does it directly support the artist when you make a purchase, you're also doing everything else on this list as well. Every time you wear one of their tee shirts, listen to their song or podcast with a friend or take a sexy Instagram photo with their visual piece in the background you're letting everyone you meet know the artist is worth supporting. It makes a big difference and keeps art alive.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We're so excited for this week! We have a jam packed week of new things coming out. We're so grateful we're able to continue to create in these strange and troubled times. We hope you are well and safe wherever you are. We miss you and love you very much!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Lessons From Eisenhower </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This last week has been heavy. There were a few times we felt like the world was falling apart. There's a lot of anger, resentment, pain and at times a sense of helplessness that have the potential to rob us of our principles: <em>E Pluribus Unum</em>. Though out of many we are one. When a brother falls we focus on picking him up because he is our responsibility. When police fail to uphold their duty we call them out. When privilege or policy is valued more than humanity we strike it down. When our own people are oppressed we lift them out. We listen more. We argue less. Being right is not an excuse to be cruel and the failures of our past do not make us helpless to change the world for the better.</span></p>
<p><font size="3">With our Nation's birthday only a few weeks away we are reminded of a leader who's words, although spoken almost 70 years ago seem like they could have been said yesterday. We find encouragement from a man who's responsibility was to lead our nation through one of it's most painful, angry and war torn times. He saw the world with a compassion that only comes from looking evil in it's eyes before severing it's head. If nothing we say can inspire change we hope his still can.</font></p>
<p><font size="3"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/b66ec89cdea67cbb6b6f6368cc07978f776feb50/original/eisenhower.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></font></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_large"><strong><font size="3">1. </font>"We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it"</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_large"><strong>2. "A people that values its privileges over its principles soon loses both."</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_large"><strong>3. "Extremes to the right and to the left in any political dispute are always wrong."</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_xl"><strong><font size="3">4. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending it's laborers, the genius of it's scientists, the hopes of it's children. This is NOT a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war it is our humanity hanging on a cross of iron."</font></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_xl"><strong><font size="3">5. "The search of a scapegoat is the easiest of all hunting expeditions."</font></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_xl"><strong><font size="3">6. "Get it all on record now- get the films- get the witnesses- because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."</font></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_large"><strong>7. "Never waste a minute thinking about people you don't like."</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_large"><strong>8. "We must never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion."</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_large"><strong>9. "Pessimism never won any battle."</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><span class="font_xl"><strong><font size="3">10. "I'd like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think people want peace so much that one of these days the governments better get out of the way and let them have it."</font></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>"Pull the string and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere."</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span class="font_large">Dwight D. Eisenhower</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>New Single: Maybe I Don't Have To</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font size="3">As musicians we only play a small role in making the world a better place. Through these past few months we've felt depression, anxiety, anger, self pity, the urge to inflict violence and the urge to create. Faced with everything we could possibly do wrong we ask ourselves "But do I have to? Maybe I don't have to. Maybe I can love people. Maybe I can defend people. Maybe I don't have to be afraid of what I know is right. I didn't want to live in a time like this. However, maybe in a small way, my actions can bring us to a better time."</font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font size="3">We are excited to say that we wrote a song about it and it officially comes out TODAY on our Patreon Page for just $1 <a contents="patreon.com/Roshambeaux " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://patreon.com/Roshambeaux">patreon.com/Roshambeaux</a> and on our webstore <a contents="roshambeauxmusic.com/shop" data-link-label="Shop" data-link-type="page" href="/shop">roshambeauxmusic.com/shop </a></font></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We're so grateful for our Roshamfam! Earlier this week we weren't sure what we should do for our next live stream so we asked the fam what we should do. Usually we struggle getting ideas from people on social media (because of algorithms and throttling) but we're able to connect with people instantly! We all decided the next <strong>Live Stream Concert should be unplugged.</strong> We're excited! Our first shows starting out were all unplugged and it's great that we don't have to leave that part of our lives behind. We'll have more info for you soon. But plan on seeing us stripped down, naked, unplugged, acoustic... (you get the idea) on <strong>Friday 6/12/20 @ 8pm</strong>. We'll have plenty of reminders on social media and in the <a contents="Roshamfam" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/roshamfam/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Roshamfam</strong></span></a> group so be sure to follow us!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Since having to be off the road we've spent the last few months trying to figure out other avenues of providing entertainment.

Be sure to tune in tonight! Sometimes we have specific topics but sometimes we just hang out with whoever joins us.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/e88277814cf311b2c1bee4711bc08262db6f5bb6/original/empty-billboard.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>How Musicians (Used To) Make Money</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The time tested model of income (or potential income) for a musician at any level has been the same for 50 years whether it's a popular Top 40 charting artist or the guy playing for tips at a smoky bar to 4 people on the bad side of town. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">1. Concerts 60%</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/db1992002e7b3496f04d5fe8cafe086b9c2cfe83/original/jax1.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_small">Roshambeaux- Lynch's Jacksonville, FL<br>(We can't wait to see you guys again!)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As performers or entertainers it's easy to understand that the most money you'll make comes from, well... performing and entertaining. That's why most artists try to hit the road as soon as their new album is released. The idea that an artist can get a song on the radio and sit back and collect fat royalty checks until they write their next hit is a nice thought but it's at best an exaggeration. Even if that were the case (Here's looking at you <a contents="Rembrandts" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rembrandts"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Rembrandts</strong></span></a>!), imagine the direct difference just a few sold out arena shows, for even just, a week would mean for that artist. It's the same metric for the guy that gets one week of airplay on an am college station and makes $0.04 in royalties; He'd definitely make at least a few bucks busking on the street next to a local cafe. The bottom line is that any musician will make the most money actually playing for people.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl">2. Merch 25%</span></p>
<p><a contents="" data-link-label="Shop" data-link-type="page" href="/shop"><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/5b5e086c16df7a643a3dd6fe9343b191f86bca14/original/rx-moneytee.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><font size="1">Limited sizes available at roshambeauxmusic.com/shop</font></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you've ever talked to an artist agent or artist manager you've probably heard the phrase, "Tees and Tours." Merchandise is that little extra that can make or break a successful tour. As we've said, lots of tour plans just plan to break even after agent fees, hotels, food, gas and advertisement so a lot of times the actual artist's paycheck can heavily rely on selling tee shirts after the show. We're not saying it's impossible to tour without merch and still make a living but having a good stock of things that help people take the experience home with them makes a huge difference on whether or not being a musician is sustainable in the long run.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl">3. Licencing 10%</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/133a98e4476296a74dbf4cde00bfb6f922c99a4e/original/netflix.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The next time you watch a show on Netflix try closing your eyes and to pay attention to how much music is in any given episode of your favorite show. Typically those shows entered an agreement with the musician. The deals range from flat initial buys to very small percentages of what the episode generates in the long run. There are plenty of artists that make a full time living off licensing but the model still stands. Artists will make a lot more playing that song for a crowd of people at a show. Sometimes just one show, two or three if you got a sweet deal.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl">4. Royalties 1-5%</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/8ad172fa5dcb8d7029efd7bbd8086edaa31d3643/original/img-20200518-195658.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_small">Our Royalty Report (page 1) from May 2020</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The word "royalties" is kind of laughable. The idea that that's what will make you live like the King of Spain is in just one word: WRONG. In the old days radio might pay an artist $0.03-05 (on the high end) per play. With the advent of streaming services that number has gone down to $0.00069 for basic subscribers and $0.00084 for paid subscribers. So if an artist goes viral with a million plays in 2020, they'll get a check for $690. That being said, if you're getting a million plays on your single you should probably book a tour. You'll easily make that in a night.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>So... What Do We Do Now?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lots of musicians are setting up monthly donation tiers with perks for for their supporters ranging from simple shout outs, discounts on merch and of course music. It's definitely challenging but we've been personally blown away by the support of our own "Roshamfam" as we call them (or Roshambros/Roshambabes? Let us know?). It's challenging moving from performing more or less the same show in a different city every night for a year or two until the next album comes out to coming up with fresh content every month. Writers block has always been stressful but now it's a lot more "in your face." However, in a small way it lets us focus on the things we promised ourselves we've never let go of: Creating. We're heavy into putting on the finishing touches on what will be our second EP for this year with plans for at least one more and a full album as well. It used to be that an artist would release one project every two or three years. Now it seems like we'll be releasing two or three per year. The pressure is a little scary but luckily we've been into things that are a little scary anyway (just watch our music videos on <a contents="YouTube HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCFbrEITHpU"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>YouTube HERE</strong></span></a>).</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We're excited to re-release this project! When we recorded this project we'd only known each other for a short while but had already decided to be best friends over some Mike's "Harder" Lemonades. We both agreed they were in fact "harder" despite tasting like vomit and lemon pledge. We'd both come from other bands, J from metal and Kyle from acoustic/jam. We'd both written a lot of music that didn't have a place in the worlds we came from so we decided that it was time to make our own. Kyle had a few acoustic demos he made in his apartment with a learners version of Protools and J had a library of beats and instrumental tracks with an early version of Reason. We didn't have a sound, a look or even a plan but had just enough songs for a project. We recorded it ourselves in J's mom's attic and went to Best Buy and got jewel cases, Maxwell CDs and a paper cutter. We'd built up a small following at a local club that had given us a Thursday night residency so we planned a CD release party. We called it Gaudy Monstrosity because it was something big for us at the time but we knew we weren't accomplished song architects with fancy tools. It had feet of clay but a head of gold. After 10 years we look back, cringe and smile. We hope we can have the same sentiment for what we're doing now in 10 years. This is what the crowd heard 10 years ago in a dingy, pirate themed club that decided to give us a shot.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We've cancelled dates into mid June and are unsure when we'll be able to resume a normal tour schedule. We've been nothing short of fortunate and blessed by our amazing fans that have told us to press on and keep making music and have allowed us to so with their contributions and support. We're so glad to have you be a part of our creative process. This month we are paying homage to the people that have been with us from the beginning. We have for you this week.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Last week we started recording a new full studio single inspired by our time in quarantine. The song is called, "Maybe I Don't Have To." We're putting the finishing touches on it and we can't wait for you to have it! We also started recording tracks for a new Remix EP. We had a lot of fun with our off the cuff live remix stream "808s N Chill" last month. We've always had a lot of fun imagining what our songs would sound like in other genres. It was great getting to think outside of our box. We decided to give the idea a little more production. We REALLY dig the vibe and we know you will too! We can confidently say both projects are some of our best work. We'll have more news on how both projects are coming along next week so stay tuned! If you haven't gotten a chance to watch our "808s N Chill" Stream" you still can on our Facebook page. Just click the graphic below.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>No Streams This Week But...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We have a few new projects we're working on including a brand new Studio Single called, "Maybe I don't have to" and another EP! Be sure to check in with us next week! We just might have a few shadow drops for you.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In preparation for what we have coming up, we won't have any streams this week but we're hoping having some fresh music will make up for it. If you weren't able to tune into last week's Quaranstream,<strong> "Mayday Mayday Full Stream Ahead"</strong> you can still watch it on our <strong>Facebook page</strong> (just click the image above). We had a lot of fun and can't wait for the next one!</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Thanks For Your Support!</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're 8 weeks into quarantine and subsequently 8 weeks into a full tour cancellation. We've had to pull dates so far into mid June (possibly longer). We were very afraid that this could have meant the end of our music careers but we've had the support of so many amazing people these past few weeks keeping us going! There's no way we could have survived this without you! You are so inspiring! Shout out to last week's supporters!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Stephen D, Adrian F, Nancy B, Pam K, Brooks Plumbing, Rebekah F, Steve B & David M!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Y'all are so awesome! We can't wait to show you what we've been working on! It's because of you that we get to!

How's it going?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Really, how's it going? It's ok if you're going a little insane. How many weeks are we into this anyway? We call it cheese brain: That feeling you get when you're not done with something but you just have to NOT deal with it right now. We've had plenty of days like that over the past few few weeks and if you've been fighting the cheese brain along with us let's hang out tonight.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're on our 30th week of blogging and we're excited to see it develop into new things. We tried converting Van Philosophy into a prerecorded Vlog/Podcast and honestly it just felt like pulling teeth. We joke around with each other a lot when we get into situations like this. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>"Hey man, so... which Ninja Turtle are you right now?" </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/488aa5221e9855a9d61c406d5d60569b0148cb27/original/tmnt.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's a little bit of an inside joke but we think most people get it. We grew up watching cartoons and we'd get so excited watching them we'd let our imaginations run wild and pretend we were those characters. We still kind of do that. Not necessarily with cartoons but with other heroes. It's easy to get caught up in what other people are doing and we don't think it's such a terrible thing in and of itself. However, it can turn into something awful if you measure your self worth on what other people are doing. It turns "I want to" into "I have to." </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">"I have to" is a horrible place to be. It's what makes cheese brain. It distracts you from what you want to do and who you want to be. Our most recent "I have to" was a Vlog. Don't get us wrong, a Vlog is a great idea. We just went about it in a way that didn't work for us. Our whole reason for doing it was so we could find new ways of maintaining a connection to people when we're not able to see them. We love you guys. We miss you.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So, last week we took a step back and discussed what it was we actually wanted to accomplish with the idea. And you know what? It went really well. We're still doing the Vlog but it's live (you know, like what we're used to doing :p). We'll be on again at 8pm/est tonight. Be sure to tune in and tell us how you're doing. Tell us what your "I have to's" have been during this crazy pandemic and who's the best Ninja Turtle (and why it's Donatello).</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">If you've been following us you may have caught us experimenting with turning the Blog into a Vlog. We'd suspended the Vlog for that past few weeks due to Covid-19 regulations in Georgia. We hadn't quite figured out a way to follow CDC guidelines with our Vlog set. However, since we've found a way to live stream and meet social distancing requirements we're excited to announce that we'll have a live version of our Vlog airing tonight, <strong>Wednesday 4/22/20 at 8pm/est</strong> streaming from our <a contents="Facebook page" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/Roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Facebook page</strong></span></a>. We don't have to much of an agenda but we'll recap how we've been spending our time, what's coming up and answering any questions you want to know. We miss y'all and we really just want to take some time just to hang out. It's so easy to feel disconnected to each other during this quarantine and we think it's important to continue making an effort to see each other. We can't wait to see you! Be sure to tune in right away at 8pm!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Friday Night: 808's N Chill Live Remix Show</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We have another live show stream planned for this Friday 4/24/20 at 5pm! We've always had it in the back of our minds to come out with and old school chilled out remix record so we figured we'd try the idea on you this weekend. We going for a chill, extra intimate and dare we say "sexy" vibe. We promise we won't try to talk you into (or out of) anything. It's just a completely innocent, consensual "808's N Chill" live stream. Have a drink and relax with us. You deserve it.</span></p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/c24bce5934d3aaff4463b301e8a54ac63242b223/original/808snchillb.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">So... What's An 808, Anyway?</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Your brain is amazing! Did you know that when you hear sound you not just listening to one thing? You're brain is actually listening for and processing the presence or absence of 20,000 individual things on average. These things are called hertz. Most sounds cover a pretty wide spectrum of frequencies but with technology we're able to find out which frequencies seem to show up the most often in any given sound. We call these "fundamental frequencies," and humans are generally pretty good at hearing frequencies that fall between 20-20,000hz. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Normally, we can't assign just one frequency to a sound because sound is typically a collection or range of noise but every once in awhile there's a specific sound that carries a specific frequency and without it, it just wouldn't sound right. One of these sounds is a kick drum, the base of rhythm in a song. It's most important fundamental frequency is 808hz. Take that out and it just doesn't sound right!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">The Original <strong>Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer</strong> or more commonly referred to as "The 808" was a drum machine made by Roland between 1980 and 1983. It was one of the very first drum machines of it's kind that allowed the user to program rhythmic patterns instead of relying on preset drum machine beats (like the pre-programmed beats on your uncle's cheap keyboard). Not only was the tech revolutionary the sounds were iconic and remain in a wide range of music to this day. If you hear a good hip hop song it probably is using an 808. If you want to learn more about it you can on Roland's Official Website <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.roland.com/us/promos/roland_tr-808/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Spring Tour Officially Canceled...</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We sadly made the decision yesterday to cancel the final 6 weeks of Spring Tour bringing the total up to 14 weeks off the road. We're really bummed. And we'd be lying if we said we didn't have to hold back some tears. We had planned to hit <strong>Savannah, GA, Jacksonville FL, Louisville KY, Columbus OH, Myrtle Beach SC, Southern Pines NC, Chattanooga TN, Tallahassee FL, Ocean Springs MS </strong>and a bunch more! We feel it's important to continue you to do our part in flattening the curve of Covid-19 not necessarily for us but for our fans, friends and close family members that are at high risk for complications.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In the mean time we will continue to work on new music, content & live show show streaming so we can still maintain a connection to you. You are why we play music. It is such a privilege. We'll see you soon, even if it's not in person. We're in this together. Be sure to tune in this week. We're not saying you need to dress up, rock your Roshambeaux merch and be as cool as our friend Joe G pictured below... but you should probably dress up, rock your Roshambeaux merch and be as cool as our friend Joe G. See you on the next stream. Stay well & send pics!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl">Only Under Specific Conditions...</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We originally had this live stream planned two weeks ago. Georgia originally put in place a "Shelter in Place" order from April 3-13 and has since extended it. Being unsure of what that meant for producing content we decided to hunker down and suspend any studio work that required us to leave our houses until we got more information. Since the order has been extended for another month, we looked over the rules for Georgia businesses and how to maintain minimum operations. We've concluded that we can safely and responsibly provide live streams under the current Shelter in Place regulations because we can reasonably maintain the recommended social distancing requirements for businesses to maintain minimum operations to provide services and stay viable. If you're a GA business owner or just curious and haven't had a chance to read over the order you can <a contents="HERE." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://gov.georgia.gov/executive-action/executive-orders/2020-executive-orders?fbclid=IwAR3uhqxXX84i7i76GMOt02uW5uCo85HxT5md25aVux7JwbZdnM9g8WCocd8"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE.</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/27ef635ab9b03c3338f7e258c6ad427eeea31b8d/original/flyer.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If that sounds confusing (and yes, we had to read it 6 or 7 times) we're able to provide a live stream this week because our studio is big enough for two people to keep 6 feet apart at all times, is not inside someone's house and is not open to the public. We've rescheduled our Full Show Quarenstream for this FRI 4/17/20 from 5pm-7pm and will be available to watch live on Facebook. You can follow our<a contents=" Facebook Page HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/Roshambeaux"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong> Facebook Page HERE</strong></span></a> so you'll be ready to tune in.

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>New Acoustic Live EP</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><a contents="" data-link-label="Donate" data-link-type="page" href="/donate"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/5acc943f46f5194d72355709ab0d84a40f748592/original/ftwb-cover3.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last week we released our first ever acoustic live EP called "Flat Tops & Wooden Boxes Vol 1." If you haven't had a chance to check it out you can <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Donate" data-link-type="page" href="/donate"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>.<br>We're a little blown away at how it's been received. We've been so used to making electronic music we were worried if we still had the chops to make an unplugged, live, single take per song project. As far as sales go, it's easily the fastest selling thing we've released to date. We're considering recording another volume. Let us know what you think? Maybe we'll become an acoustic duo... hahahaha... nah... but maybe.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Musicians That Can't Tour</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We've had a few people give us reasons to not be career musicians over the years but<strong> "What if there's a world-wide pandemic that shuts down the live entertainment industry"</strong> was not one of them. You've shown us that not even that is a really good reason to give up. It's surreal. Being a musician in general means you're one email, show cancellation or bad review away from a debilitating panic attack. The fact that we've been able to press on through this absolute dumpster fire has little to do with us and everything to do with you. We have to adapt how we perform and release music because we have no idea when touring will resume and if it will still be the same when it does.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/950572d92446de2514bde55e60feb91482b85674/original/comment.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We don't think that this is necessarily true but it does show us that in an industry that is constantly changing and demanding evolution (when was the last time you bought a cassette tape un-ironically?) we'll be met with the challenges of growth for the better. During this time we've had to imagine a world where musicians can survive without a physical tour. You've shown us that it's possible when people support you and put value in what you do. As a result we've found new ways of creating content and staying connected. In addition to the live stream this week here's a list of this week's exclusive content for our supporters. Our goal is to keep this updated and fresh. We have a few new ideas for our next donation tier set but we'll be looking for your input and suggestions going forward so it stays valuable to you and people we meet in the future.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Spring Tour Cancelled?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When we initially cancelled 5 weeks of our Spring Tour to do our part in flattening the curve of Covid 19 we knew there was a possibility we'd have to cancel more dates in the following weeks. Last week we had to cancel an additional 3 weeks bringing us to a total of 8 weeks off the road. We're unsure but it's a possibility we may have to cancel the remaining 4 weeks we have scheduled out. It's tough. As touring musicians, 90% of our income comes from being on the road. We've experienced tides of overwhelming emotion ranging from depression to panic. However, the most intense emotions we've felt over these past few weeks have been joy and gratitude. You've had our backs through this crazy mess and we had no idea how much support we would receive from you. We've said the word "Surreal" more times than we can count these past few weeks! Y'all are amazing! Thank you for allowing us to continue to make music for you!</span></p>

We also had planned last week to do another live stream but the State of Georgia issued a "Shelter in Place" mandate that forced us to postpone. We are planning on rescheduling the live stream ASAP so be sure to keep up with us on Facebook or Instagram for an announcement. We're hoping to resume our new normal online programming next week.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Covid-19 has hit the live entertainment industry really hard as most artist have cancelled their tours until further notice. We've also noticed in our community it's also hit the service industry especially hard too. It's really cool to see people coming together to support each other. A lot of local restaurants are offering delivery, curbside pick up, gift cards coupons, etc to stay in business. We're really proud of businesses that have closed down their normal operations and have adapted so the rest of us can still feel normal. It seems like it's more important now than ever to keep those things in our life.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">For us and so many people this quarantine has been a little bit of a wake up call. We live in a fast pace digital world. Uber, Amazon, self check kiosks. People in general prefer having things done faster and online. We don't think that businesses need to adopt an entire new model to compete with bigger companies and automation but implementing services that adapt to how life is now, quarantine or not will definitely give us an edge in the competition and still maintain our soul.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We love making music for y'all! Although we've had to cancel our physical tour for the next month (and possibly more) through your donations last week we were able to continue to make music and conceptualize new ways to stay connected with you even though we can't physically be with you right now. We've gotten to work in the studio putting the finishing touches on a few new songs that we can't wait to release and developed a new weekly content program that in addition to the Van-Philosophy Blog will include a weekly VLOG and even a few live stream performances that we're excited to show you! Here's our first episode! We also have it as a podcast (player at bottom of this entry)!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We'll be streaming our first Free Virtual Concert and we feel it's only fitting to do it live and unplugged on our front porch (weather permitting) like true Georgia boys!

<p><span class="font_large">This will be the first of many and we're excited to get creative and make each Virtual Concert with a unique tone and setting. With your continued support we hope to continue live streaming and virtual concerts even after the quarantine as we get ready to hit the road again with a storm (whenever that may be). We have a lot more planned for you over the next few months! Email us with suggestions! We'll give our contributors first dibs and then open it up to suggestions from Facebook, Instagram & YouTube.</span></p>8:00RoshambeauXtag:roshambeauxmusic.com,2005:Post/62522872020-03-17T21:50:04-04:002020-03-18T11:22:19-04:00 Covid 19 & Cancelling 5 Weeks Of Our Tour<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/050d574d8f8acb37a037802b5f07c39656a1a982/original/covid19.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're sure you've been reading countless articles about COVID 19, toilet paper shortages and DIY hand sanitizer recipes so we're not going to make this week's blog about it. There's a lot of mixed information going around about the severity of the illness and who is most at risk. We're urging all of our fans, instead of forming opinions about the virus, to look at the facts compiled by the CDC, updated every 14 hours and follow their guidelines to the best of your ability. Here's the link:<a contents=" cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html"><span style="color:#c0392b;"><strong> cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><span style="color:null;">Cancelling 5 Weeks of Our Tour... At Least</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><span style="color:null;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/fc967868afb45647045d7d49786b18db1cd15c46/original/cancel-covid19.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="color:null;">We're full time independent musicians. So, that means 90% of our income comes from playing shows. We've learned that no matter where a musician is in their career income will flow in this order: Shows, Merch, Licensing, Royalties (income from streaming). The decision to initially cancel 5 weeks of our Spring Tour (which you can check out</span><strong><span style="color:#c0392b;"> </span><a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><span style="color:#c0392b;">HERE</span></a></strong><span style="color:null;">) and assessing if we'll need to cancel additional weeks going forward did not come lightly. We'd be lying to you if we told you we weren't scared. We're unsure if we're going to be able to continue making music and have it be sustainable. If you enjoy what we do and find some value in it we'll tell you how you can help in just a bit.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We're Afraid The Universe Is Doing Exactly What We Tell It.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We didn't expect we'd be forced to take extended time off the road but we have said out loud a few times over the last year, whether jokingly or in frustration, "I need a fucking break!" We can't help but imagine the universe laughing and saying, " Here's your 'fucking break!'" We're not going to beat ourselves up over it and we don't think you should either if you've ever found yourself saying something similar. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're going to take this time to work on new music and few other types of content that we've been wanting you to see but "Just didn't have the time." We hope that you're able to do the same in whatever capacity you can. Many of us are losing something but maybe we gain something along the way.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As artists, we rely so much on your support. If you enjoy what we do and it benefits you even in small way, please consider making a donation of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 or more so we can continue making music during what may turn into a long time off the road.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We had a blast last week in Carrollton, GA! Thanks for coming out! It would have been awkward without you.

We've put a lot into developing our own production but what these guys have put together is insane and dwarfs ours by comparison. We hope to be back soon!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Last Minute Additions.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We announced our Spring Dates last week. If you haven't gotten a chance to see where we'll be heading you can on our Tour Dates Page <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>. We're really excited about what's coming up! We're happy to announce that we added a last minute date for this Thursday in Clemson, SC. Check out our Tour Dates Page for details.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><a contents="" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a788bf10cc99adfb0335e381a0f6cca4480c3728/original/2020springtour-square.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you've had trouble keeping up with our Tour Dates there are a few ways to keep it easy and not have to worry about getting spammed or having to wade through our social media (although if you want those links we made a cozy Social Directory Page <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Social" data-link-type="page" href="/social"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>). One way is to sign our mailing list. It's on almost every page of our website but it's the first thing on our Home Page: <a contents="www.roshambeaux.com" data-link-label="Home" data-link-type="page" href="/home"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>www.roshambeaux.com</strong></span></a> . You'll get direct access to this blog each week sent right to your email and we'll also let you know when a show is coming up in your area. Another cool way is through the App<strong> "Bands-In-Town."</strong> It's available on Google Play and The App Store and it's a must have to stay in the loop for everything to Major Festivals and Concerts to keeping up with your local music scene. You'll never find out that band you like was in town last week if you have it. If you like going out to see live music you definitely should have it on your phone. Just be sure to follow us on there too since we told you about it :)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Nice To Finally Meet You!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We had a really cool experience meeting a fan at last Saturday's show. Which honestly, if we can break the 4th for a moment, feels really weird to say. We don't feel like the type of people that have "fans." We make music at our houses and record what we come up with really late at night and feel lucky that people want to hear it. If there's ever a crowd, no matter the size, we don't feel like we should stay strangers. We need a better word for y'all. Let us know if you think of something that sounds right.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Anyway, we got to meet someone who's had a CD of ours in their car for awhile now and had never been out to a show. We know that's probably not a big deal to most top 40 artists but it was nothing short of humbling hearing someone say, "It's nice to finally meet you!" He explained that he borrowed Illuminaughty from a friend a few years ago and when he saw we had a show coming up in his hometown he bought two tickets. We didn't want to look like dorks but it took a lot to not freak out and jump up and down and scream "It's nice to finally meet you too! You're why we play music!" We'd probably play music anyway but it's not the same if it's not for somebody else. Who knew one of the coolest moments we've had after a show came from someone borrowing a CD?</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">We got to spend a lot of time in the studio this past week. We love being on the road but it's really great taking time off to work on new music. This week it was mostly vocals and drums. We got a really cool mic on loan from <strong><a contents="The Maelstrom" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheMaelstromStudio/"><span style="color:#2ecc71;">The Maelstrom</span></a></strong>.

<p><span class="font_large">We'll fill you in on more details. We're really excited! We have a few other songs recorded and a few more that are ready to track in the coming weeks. We have a bunch of plans for releasing all new kinds of content this year. It can feel a little overwhelming but we find making checklists and staying hydrated helps a lot.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/31ecfbfb5a27d4c9d69df94a6e1603ce8cf6e161/original/85209685-218149492699887-2048624332753600512-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/544e50899e51348da98c51aab933f20150b34c67/original/89072008-509636013072390-5073588491024072704-n.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Georgia and Weed.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Right now, legislation (House Bill 847) is pending that will criminalize the possession and transportation of hemp flower in Georgia. Last year Georgia legalized hemp and hemp derived products as long as the product is below 0.3% THC (the part of weed that gets you "high"). In short, you can buy weed in Georgia as long as its not really strong. Because of this legalization Georgia residents now have access to a vast array of high quality, regulated and tested CBD (the part of the plant that doesn't get you "high" but has other medicinal value) products. CBD is Federally legal and subsequently is legal in most States.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Basically, the State is now effectively saying that they don't want to train law enforcement to be able to tell the difference so we need to criminalize a Federally legal plant. The bill is vague. It suggests that being in possession of ANY leafy green substance is subject to a criminal charge. What if you buy fresh basil at the grocery store? We're not sure and that makes us nervous. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We feel like not only is this bill a HUGE step in the wrong direction for Cannabis Law but it's also lazy and a slippery slope. If we're unwilling to aid law enforcement in knowing the difference where will it lead? For every CBD product in Georgia there is a THC product in Colorado. Do we criminalize CBD products too? What about vitamins gummies and brownies, lol?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>If you live in Georgia and think this is stupid idea you can do something about it and it's easy.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">NORML has a pre-wriiten letter that you can send to your specific representative. AND if you don't remember who you're representatives are, they'll look it up for you and send it to them for free. It's ridiculous how our representatives seem to make it harder and harder to have the public get a hold of them and this is a great work around. So, if you live in Georgia and are or know someone who finds relief with CBD or hemp products. Click <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://norml.org/action-center/item/georgia-oppose-the-criminalization-of-hemp-flower?fbclid=IwAR3l8L7Eue00nQx3lx52nhIu5gu1x21FFRbETmoo03OpuCY4ojpuHPB8qPs"><span style="color:#2ecc71;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>.

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Touring In The Winter </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Having a winter tour is a weird coin. On it's head it's dangerous, cold and miserable. Loading out in cold rain, warding off winter depression and fighting germs when your body's primary focus is keeping warm can really take it's toll on a musician. On it's tail there are opportunities that aren't normally available. Music venues are more likely to take a chance on a new band. There's less digital noise and event congestion. Most importantly, we're able to rescue each other from the inevitable boredom that sets in from "Cabin Fever." There's only so many things on Netflix you can binge on before your insides start to itch. We hate that feeling and we can tell a lot of you do too. We're so glad that our job is to relieve each other of that! Thanks to everyone that came out in the snow, cold wind & rain in Virginia Beach, VA, Southern Pines and Boone, NC last week! We know it sounds dumb but you made our Winter feel not so cold. We hope you feel the same!</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Must... Stay... Awake!</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">A lot of our life is spent driving late at night to get to the next town. Sometimes staying awake can be a challenge. Before the world of 4G streaming we used to keep each other awake by coming up with ridiculous math problems and try to solve them in our heads. It's actually pretty effective. It's one of the reasons why we named our last album "After Math."

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>8 Things We Learned From The Bhagavad Gita</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This last week to stay awake we've been streaming readings from The <strong>Bhagavad Gita</strong>, an ancient but strangely practical guide to life according to Hindu theology. Neither of us are very religious and we hadn't been familiar with it. We were very surprised at how hard it hit us. Frankly, there were things we needed to hear, especially as musicians. We're excited to continue studying it. We are by no means, whatsoever, even suggesting that we are experts on any subject written in this book but here are a 8 things that we took from it so far. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/0ed0bab99b10eb15ee283113eeba888aa42599bc/original/bhagavad-gita.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">1. Being jealous and making things about you will not make you wise.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">2. Every decision you make will either be a failed attempt rule over creation or to benefit it.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">3. Praise does not come from your ability to do a good job it comes from the mercy of others.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">4. Being attached to things won't make you happy & you're depressed because you're afraid of losing things you don't even own.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">5. All of your actions no matter how small are sacrifices. If those sacrifices are not for others, they are meaningless.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">6. Your attitude is the only thing that will make you happy and you are in full control of it.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">7. You. Exist. Right. Now. Take some time to think about that.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large">8. Your ego makes terrible decisions.</span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Picking Venues<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/8f3e2df207b6bc215903e8b3a61d2ba3c8741c9f/original/beach-parking.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We usually have our own methods in choosing what venues to play but lately the best experiences have come from people suggesting places to play. Last week we played two places we would have had no idea about unless you told us about them. With only a few dates left on our Winter Tour (which you can check out <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><strong>HERE</strong></a>) we're planning on announcing our Spring dates next week. We still have a few dates left to fill so please let us know about some places you think we should check out in the comments below. It's always exciting getting to play new places and if you love them we know we will too! We're taking the rest of this week "off" to get a few more tracks done in the studio and hopefully shooting some video too. See you soon!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>To be honest, last week was a little overwhelming.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">If you checked in on the blog last week: We're sorry. Kyle finally ended up catching that damn virus that's going around and we figured since we put it script form before, here's act two.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 16.8px;"><span class="font_xl">J's Got The Flu </span><span class="font_large">(and now, so does Kyle)</span></span><br>(ACT 2 SCENE 1)</strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> So... quick question.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> What's up?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> I've had a fever all day. I feel like I want to rip out my lungs and If I stand up my entire body yells at me until I lay down.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong>.. So what's your question?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">(<em>A PAUSE that honestly wasn't THAT long but long enough to be awkward... It was probably the time it takes to read these few sentences. So like eight or nine seconds, tops? The word "Eternity is hyperbolic... but it felt that way.</em>)</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> Kyle?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>K:</strong> Sorry, I took some NyQuil. What were we talking about?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> That you have the flu and you need to lay down for the next few days and try keep fluids in you?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Kyle: Was it this bad when you got it?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> Yep</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span class="font_large">(So we skipped the blog last week)</span></em></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We made it to our shows though!</strong></span><span class="font_large"> </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We started off in Clemson, SC at this bar called Loose Change. Its one of those gems that hits capacity around midnight. It's always shoulder to shoulder with people who's only goal is to get down like James Brown and the stage is floor level. The energy there is incredible! It's amazing that nothing got broken and it's weird saying that with huge smiles on our faces! It was a crazy kick start after both of us getting over the flu. If you were at that show you're a rockstar! Things were non-stop from there through Gainesville, GA and Anderson, SC the next two nights. Thanks to everyone that came out! Specifically, two people we'll tell you about in a bit. It was a little overwhelming us not quite being 100% but we think Dayquill and you're smiling faces more than made up for it!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>How We Write Songs.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/3ad910242675b95512892bcde35940b2cfeb7341/original/writing-songs.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/00648ab02f0e1f01eff6381c706a034b603caa19/original/cbd-and-coffee.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Some of you have been messaging us to talk about how we write songs. We can't say we have a specific method but it's usually that one of us has a basic idea of a part. Sometimes that part is a beat. Sometimes, it's just a few lyrics or a melody. We rarely bring anything to the other that's almost finished (but, it's happened a few times). Most of the time it's us joke singing to each other in the van. If one of us can get something stuck in the other's head then we usually run with it. A lot of the rest of it is written in the studio. If it has a good flow we'll just start recording parts. Some end up in the song. Some we laugh at and delete. It's always fun. As far as arranging everything and getting things to flow we just try to make sure it makes sense in our own heads. We've found out that caffeine is good for when you absolutely know for sure what you're part is and other stuff is for when you don't.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Meeting Authors<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/080da94abd0f918ecbf1b269545eb42260090959/original/author.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">As musicians, it's really cool to meet other artists. Especially artists that make things that are totally different from what we do. To us, it's so cool when people write books. We get locked into a method of telling stories that can be absorbed in about three and a half minutes and the words barely take up a page. It's impressive talent to write a book. We're a little envious. Maybe we'll try one day. That being said we got to hang out with two authors after Friday night's show. It's so much fun getting to hear about other people's art. We haven't gotten a chance to read these yet but it was so much fun hanging out with them we have to give them a shout out.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We've been playing music together for almost 10 years so we've seen each other throw up a few times.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There's this thing that performers have in the back of there head when we feel like we might be getting sick. It's called "Stage Health." It's basically like a countdown clock on a bomb. We know exactly how much time we need sometimes down to the minute. We stock up on all the weird pain and cold medicines we can hardly pronounce and our bodies give us the exact amount of adrenaline needed to play the show... and then we'll be worthless until we recover a few days later. Patton Oswalt describes this perfectly in his bit<strong> "The Worst Show I've Ever Done."</strong> You can watch it below.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="v9CNFzKVyWw" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/v9CNFzKVyWw/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v9CNFzKVyWw?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">We've had plenty of situations like this and we've been lucky enough to only have to cancel a handful of shows since we've started playing music together. Unfortunately, last week was one of those handfuls. "The Stage Health Counter" usually only works if you're already in the town where you're performing and you feel the initial wave rush over you. We were a 4 hour drive from the next venue and we knew we had to cancel. For your reading pleasure, here's how it went down in script form.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="font_xl">J's Got The Flu</span><br><span class="font_large">(ACT 1 SCENE 1)</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> "So... I'm sick..."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> "Like, 'I have a<strong> </strong><em>cold</em>', sick or 'I've been throwing up all night and should have told you earlier,' sick?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> "The second one."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> "Jesus!"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> "Engh... Stage Health?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> "Do you think you can kick it in four hours with a shitty nap in the van and more Dayquill than it says to take on the bottle?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> "Uh... ..."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> "Which we can totally do but honestly, you look terrible... Is it getting better or worse than when it first came on?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> "Oh dude! Like... WAY worse..."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Kyle: "I put a gun to your head and say you have to play a two and a half hour show tonight. What's your initial response?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>J:</strong> "Throwing up and hiding in a corner."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Kyle:</strong> "Yeah.. I'm gonna call the venue."</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Kyle emailed the agent, called the venue and DM'd the headlining band.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Everyone was very understanding. We're very fortunate to work with some really awesome people!

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">Relax, we're fine.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We love Florida. Mostly because something crazy almost always happens. The weather was awesome down there last week (obviously). Although, a few people we met out and about would give us the whole 'look left, look right' and say "It's getting a little chilly isn't it?" That very well may be but earlier last week it was 20 degrees in GA so 60 degrees felt awesome!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When we were prepping for this section of our Winter Tour we had a date fall through. It happens every once in awhile but we don't think we'll ever quite get used to the panic when it does. We scrambled and made a few calls but no one we were really connected with had the date available. Just when we figured we'd have to bite the bullet one of our agents in the region checked in just to see how things were. We chatted about our plans for 2020 and mentioned we had a date fall through. "Oh, I can help. We just picked up a bunch of new venues."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/a9df2b4f8e9d9b0582ef976b162b3a0ceb2d3f76/original/the-local-neptune.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We picked up a show at a relatively new place that opened OCT 2019 in Neptune Beach called <a contents="The Local" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheLocalJax/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARDL0paFxOMcHbxG2LRdgooZucN9ZUyQreriIWqprFP6htp-50vi8xQCcofvD09-N36r5TwjStjl3WV1"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>The Local</strong></span></a>. It was a weather permitting outdoor show but we figured "How often does it rain in Florida at the beach?" We decided to go for it and checked the weather before we left. It seemed like we were in the clear.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Aaaaaaand... It Rained. A good bit too.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">All of our equipment is electronic so it just CAN'T get wet. We arrived at load in and talked to the venue manager. She said, "It's your call but I think if we wait an hour it will clear." We waited an hour and stared at different weather apps on our phones. It was really hard to tell what was going to happen but after an hour the sky looked like this.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/eb8c659af0e2048fbf71f053c0d29b7d2a5601f8/original/neptune-rainbow.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The staff got a crew together with squeegees and leaf blowers to dry up the stage and it didn't even sprinkle the rest of the night. Sometimes things just work out and we were reminded that no matter what happens it's always important to be grateful. It was a really nice chill show. We got to meet some new people during intermission and saw some old friends too.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>When A Few Hundred People Chant "Get The Fuck Off The Stage!"</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">There's this really cool music venue in Jacksonville Beach called <a contents="Lynch's" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/lynchsirishpub/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Lynch's</strong></span></a> that we've hit a few times before. It's a gem. It's ALWAYS packed when we're there. So, we've learned over our time out on the road that if you're in a packed music venue in Florida (at least in our personal experience) something's probably gonna happen. The show's energy was ridiculous! There were hundreds of people shoulder to shoulder getting down and singing along. Towards the end of the show one "bro" decided that he needed more attention and jumped up on stage drunk AF.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Now, we'll let you in on a little secret</strong>. It's never OK to do that BUT if you just HAVE to, if you make sure you're off in 1.7 seconds, people won't be too pissed. This guy lingered. Took pictures of the crowd, tried to take selfies with us, did his best Ric Flair impression. All that stuff. The nearest Security guard tried his best to get to the stage but he already had his hands full and was just a little too far away.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Our new friend ended up jumping off stage, making it to the bar, making it back to the stage and getting back up. Honestly, we were kind of impressed but people were<em> pissed</em>. We tried to play it off since it was our last song. Everyone in the front was trying to get his attention. <strong>We asked him if he played bass</strong> but he was just in his own little world, spilling his drink and tripping over invisible objects. We caught eyes with enough people and figured we could pull something off if we all did it together. So, on beat, the bridge of our last song went like this.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">"Everybody! We're pretty sure this dude doesn't play bass.<br> So we need you're help getting him off the stage.<br> Can we do it?<br> We can?<br> Alright, all together now...</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large"> Get The Fuck Off The Stage! Get The Fuck Off The Stage! Get The Fuck Off The Stage!"</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/db1992002e7b3496f04d5fe8cafe086b9c2cfe83/original/jax1.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/21b15f7c353769af1b84ff4aef64b88622320ee3/original/jax2.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's took just about everybody in the room but we finally did it. He looked at his feet went to Kyle for the world's most awkward high five and stumbled off stage almost taking a dual 15 speaker with him.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">That being said... We can't wait to be back in March.

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">It's funny, it seems like if you think about something long enough it seems to just show up.</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">At the time we were touring in J's Jeep Cherokee pulling a 5x8 trailer and we'd about gotten just about all we could out of the vehicle. Jeeps with straight 6's are great but there's no way they're made for what we put it through. We were on the road in between shows when we came up on an old church with two Ford Club Wagons parked out front with bright orange "For Sale" signs hanging in the windows. We drove passed a little ways not thinking too much of it when one of us said, "Do you think all this gear weighs about as much as 15 old ladies on their way to a prayer meeting?"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>"Dude, we should turn around."</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">At least just to look. We knew the Jeep only had so long before it gave up. We pulled in and took a look at them. "The white one is in rough shape but this silver one looks brand new." We took some measurements and the phone number. "We can come back out this way next week if it pans out."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We called the church and the Reverend explained that the Good Lord said the choir needed new robes, the pews needed reupholstering and selling a van or two would would be just enough to get it done.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It needed a few repairs but it was exactly what we needed. We assured the Reverend we wouldn't use it to play "that Devil's Music." He laughed and smiled. "Just not on Sundays."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We took it to the shop, gave it a tune up, brakes, new tires, a new battery and a tougher radiator and we had our first "Business Vehicle." It seemed to validate what we were doing. Before the Jeep we packed everything we could in a Buick Station Wagon (yes, the one with the faux wood). It was one of those little things that made us feel like career musicians and not a "local garage band." It's been really good to us over the years. We've seen a lot of the country in it, written a lot of songs in it and spent long nights thinking about where our place is in this crazy ass world. We are so grateful for her. She's changed our lives. She's the unsung hero of the road. If the day ever comes, it'll be hard to let her go... Besides everything in it is basically new at this point, lol.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Working With Other Artists.</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We love making art and it's really cool to see other people make it as well. Last week Steven from Silent Professional Photography took some really cool shots of our show at The Loft in Columbus GA. You definitely need to check out his work. It will make you smile and smiling is good for you.

<p><span class="font_large">We really enjoyed our time off the road and getting to spend the holidays with our friends and families. Our Fall Tour wore us out so we were grateful for the rest but we did miss you. We're overwhelmed with y'all! We hit the road last week to start out this new decade's first few show's. Thanks to everyone who came out in Charlotte, Salisbury and Southern Pines NC! The first week of a new tour can always feel a little rough when you've been on break for a few weeks but y'all made it feel easy. You're awesome! We have a few days off and we're headed to Huntsville, AL, Columbus, GA, Neptune Beach & Jacksonville Beach FL. You can check out the rest of our 21 date Winter Tour on our Tour Calendar Page <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>. We're excited to be back on the road feeling refreshed, hitting some new places and visiting some old favorites.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large"><span class="font_xl"><strong>We put the van through Hell last tour</strong></span> so we gave her a pretty solid overhaul in the shop during our break: Fresh brakes, a power steering pump an array of fluid flushes, a whole new rear end later and she runs like new! Our mechanic got everything done really quickly and apparently in a rush cracked his head on the van's undercarriage and has the 7 stitches to prove it. We're glad he's ok!<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/055b730d08ef4bbb92f916a9f30178d3bf96de6f/original/van2.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Winter Funk and Holiday Blues in the Music Industry.</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We're sorry for the puns but if you've worked in any part of the music industry you know that Winter can be frustrating, depressing and just plain old weird sometimes. Everyone's trying to balance the dichotomy of being really slow and really busy at the same time. One week it's being bombarded with emails leading into weeks of radio silence because everyone's on vacation to a hectic week catch up, cancellations due to ice storms and the cycle continues. If you don't catch the wave just right you'll be starving by Spring. We're really lucky that everything came together for this tour. It wasn't always that way. Do you get the same feeling with what you do? We'd love to hear about it in the comments below. We think we're getting back into the normal rhythm of things. We hope you are too!</span></p>RoshambeauXtag:roshambeauxmusic.com,2005:Post/60448252019-12-24T17:55:39-05:002022-05-31T03:24:46-04:00Fall Tour Wrapped!<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Fall Tour is Wrapped!</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We had such an awesome final week on the road last week in Tampa FL, St Simons, GA & Summerville SC! Thanks so much for coming out and helping us complete our Fall Tour with a bang! You're energy was amazing! We felt a little run down with the last burst of the tour (Altoona, PA to Tampa, FL was a LOOOONG drive) but we fed off of your enthusiasm and encouragement. We can't thank you enough! Hearing you sing along, seeing your hands in the air and watching you get down with us was overwhelming! Special thanks to Rachel, Steve & Nancy. Y'all are incredible people! We love you!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>The Van...</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We thought we were in the clear after blowing a bypass hose in Virginia the week before. On the road to St Simons from Tampa we noticed the brakes felt a little funny. Then, they felt really funny. Then, the brake light came on. We pulled off at a gas station and checked our brake fluid. It was pretty low but luckily not low enough to do any major damage. We topped off and did a quick Google search for a parts store since most shops were closed for the weekend. We found an Auto Zone about a mile from where we pulled off so we decided to head that way hoping they had what we needed.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We noticed a more promising option next door.</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">Now.. because of what we're about to tell you we're going to leave out what town we were in, what shop we pulled into, and the name of the fan that works there.<br>We knew we blew a brake line so we figured it might not be an issue fixing it. Unfortunately, the line we blew was a proprietary line for the rear brakes that would need to be ordered and wouldn't be available for a day or two. We figured we'd have to cancel the show that night and hunker down until we could get it fixed until our friend floated this idea...</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>"We can bypass it. You'll only have front brakes but you can make it to your show."</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">"You're front brakes basically do 70% of the stopping so you'll be ok for the next day if you take it easy. You'll need to get it fixed ASAP." We all stared at each other for a few seconds, took a deep breath and decided to go for it. We ran over to the parts store across the street, got a vice grip and some zip ties. We tested the brakes to make sure we maintained pressure and weren't leaking fluid. "They feel tight." "No leaks!" "This is some redneck shit! lol" </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/d5fe43aa7e6614d11e81e30b3c1c6385b560d86d/original/brakes.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We made it to the show with no issues. Fans there reassured us that,<span class="font_large"> "</span>You're front brakes basically do 80% of the stopping." That number kept going up the rest of the trip. We're not saying you should<strong> ever</strong> do this but we made it home. The van's in the shop getting A LOT of TLC. We're almost to 400k miles. We think we'll hold on to it for awhile, though. It's been good to us.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>On Break!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're very excited to be home for the Holidays and spending time with our families! We're resting up for a few weeks and recording some brand new music before we get back on the road next month for Winter Tour. We'll be back at it on January 9th! Winter tour dates have been announced and we've added a few dates (here's looking at you Baltimore and Neptune Beach)! We're hitting a lot of cities! Hopefully we're near you. We'll be taking a break from the blog until until we're back on the road.

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Merry Christmas!</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">Have you heard our version of <strong>"Oh Holy Night?"</strong> It's definitely one of our favorite Christmas Carols so we were excited to be able to put out our version of it.

<p><span class="font_large">"You guys are going from Altoona, PA to Tampa FL? That's at least two days on the road right?</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">"Well, yeah but we have two days off so it works out."<br><br>It's gonna be a crazy last stretch of our Fall Tour but we have 3 more shows to go before we take a long break from the road. You can check out where we'll be on our Tour Dates Page. We had a blast in Ohio and Pennsylvania last week! We drove through our first "White Out" as a band and have gotten more followers in the past four days than we've gotten this whole Fall Tour! It's really cool and humbling to see things take off in new ways. We can't wait to see what 2020 has in store! Touring up North in December is ill-advised by pretty much everyone we've met in the music industry but we met some really awesome people this week and we're glad we didn't wait for warmer weather for a chance to hang out with y'all. We'll see you soon!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/0d647f0ac50c775e509e91491d631b7ce68670e4/original/oh-pa-fans.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Road Trouble</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">On our way south from Altoona on Sunday we noticed the van was overheating somewhere near Edinburg, VA. We pulled off at the next exit, popped the hood and took a look. We could see antifreeze pooling up under the van but it was a little hard to tell exactly where it was coming from. It wasn't from the radiator, upper or lower hose. Maybe the water pump? Which would suck, 500 miles from home... on a Sunday. The leak eventually stopped with a decent amount of liquid still left in the system. After starting it up again we noticed a steady stream aimed directly at the alternator intensifying when hitting the gas. "That just CAN'T be good for the alternator." We found the culprit was a small hole in a bypass hose behind, well, a lot of stuff. We called AAA and got a tow to an Advanced Auto a few miles down the road. Our driver was hilarious. It seemed like we had to take half of the van a part in the parking lot to get to the hose but the guys at the part store let us borrow a few tools and we we're back on the road in just a few hours (and J thought he wouldn't use his Automotive degree playing music). Here's a few photos but you can check out more on our <a contents="Instagram Page" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.instagram.com/roshambeauxlove"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>Instagram Page</strong></span></a>.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This week is our last week on the road until our Winter 2020 Tour begins on January 9th! We had so much fun this tour. Thanks to everybody that caught a show! We'll do a recap next week so be sure to check the blog. We have a few songs we've been humming in the van and we're gonna take the opportunity to hit the studio over the break. We hope y'all are around people you love during the winter Holidays. That's where we'll be!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Our friend Bryan opened up a really cool record store in Valdosta along side one of our favorite venues in the southeast. It's called <strong>Hole In The Wall Records</strong>. If you're ever in the Valdosta area you NEED to check this place out! They have so many gems in this place it's ridiculous. Not only do they have an impressive vinyl selection but they have retro apparel, books and tapes too! Honestly, it's a little hard to describe it and do it justice so take a look at their Instagram below.<br><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.instagram.com/holeinthewallrecords"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/9e180a21440712f2c4f1e1b360983501553cbefa/original/hitwr.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>During intermission at Friday night's show the owner snuck us in for a private tour of Hole In The Wall Records and we noticed this book.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/4e3a5359f9316e65815b9f227e8cc61ab3551fc8/original/gibson-book.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We're total Gibson guitar nerds. They're the only guitars we record with and when he caught us eyeing the book he said we could have it. We laid down a few guitar tracks last week so it was cool to get to learn a little history on the guitars we have in the studio. A lot of you have been asking us what guitars we use when we record so here they are:<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/0a6c6b2dce49ebdc9fb0a95463b90ec0c9e595c4/original/gibson-collection.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">1958 Gibson 225 T</span> (pictured left)</strong><br><span class="font_large">This was J's Grandmother's guitar and it still has her ghost in it. It was given to her by her friend (Hank Williams Sr) and it's been in the family ever since. This guitar plays itself. We've spent countless frustrating hours in the studio forcing guitar takes using other guitars only to switch to this one and get it in one take. If we experiment with alternate tunings it will eventually tune itself back to standard and we swear we've literally heard it whisper our names listening back to guitar takes we've tracked (listen closely to the guitar solo in our track "Get It Up"). This guitar is a classic but this one specifically carries the soul, blood, sweat and tears of an amazing women that is still with us every time we track with it. We use this guitar on every song we record even if it's just a backing layer. We love you Nanny! We'll take good care of it.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">1976 Gibson Explorer</span><span class="font_large"> </span><span class="font_regular">(pictured right)</span></strong><br><span class="font_large">J picked this one back in his metal days. We can't tell you how much he paid for it because you'll think he stole it. The natural resonance on this guitar is incredible! There's been several hardware customizations but the most notable are the EMG pickups. If you're not familiar with the absolute beasts these pick ups are you can learn more about them <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.emgpickups.com/emg-faq"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a>. We use this guitar when we're creating tones that need a little more edge. We've considered putting P-90s in it but we really like the the tonal variety we have having it set up as is. And before you yell at us, yes, we do have the original hardware in a box.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">1999 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe</span><span class="font_large"> </span><span class="font_regular">(pictured center)</span></strong><br><span class="font_large">This is Kyle's main guitar both in the studio and on the road. Even though we have access to other amazing guitars there's just something about a Les Paul. It's named after the inventor of the electric guitar if that says anything about it.The story on this guitar goes that Kyle's dad got it for him after losing a bet that he couldn't learn to play the song Stairway to Heaven. There's been a lot of great Les Pauls made over the years but this one is our favorite mainly for it's pickups. The "mini-humbuckers" or "crunch-humbuckers" give it a natural balanced tone that helps us shape our main guitar tones on stage and in the studio. Thanks Dad!</span><br> </p>RoshambeauXtag:roshambeauxmusic.com,2005:Post/59910352019-12-03T23:47:01-05:002019-12-04T12:01:14-05:00Winter 2020 Tour Dates Announced!<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Winter 2020 Tour Dates Announced!</strong></span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Why Do We Say Thanks?</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thanksgiving is important to us. We say thanks because someone has done something for us. Whether it's holding the door for someone, making a meal or pulling us out from a burning building, we say "Thanks" because what's been done for us is good and we want to encourage that person to do it again. We're always reminding ourselves to be grateful. A lot of times we forget where to place our gratitude. We're reminded this time of year that people need to be thanked. Idealism is cool but gratitude doesn't mean anything unless someone is there to receive it. Saying, "I'm grateful for __" isn't enough. It's easy to say what you're grateful for but it's harder to reach out to the people that gave you those things. We're grateful we continually get to make music for a living but if you're reading this YOU are the object of our gratitude. Thank you so much for allowing us to make music for you! A lot of times, as musicians it's hard to reconcile our place in the world. We're not doctors or firemen. We don't provide items essential for survival. So the fact that you continually allow us to keep our jobs is overwhelming. Thank you! We mean it. We hope you do it again.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We had an awesome time last week in Savannah, GA and Anderson, SC! We absolutely love these two venues specifically. If you haven't gotten a chance to check them out click the icons below. Over the years we've realized there's always the possibility of no one showing up to a show (or it at least no one showing up on purpose). The past few shows have been incredible and the reason for that is you. Seeing your smiling faces through the fog and stage lights is one of the best feelings in the world. Thanks for hanging out with us!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Playing With Grammy Award Winning Artists.</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We've been following a band for awhile and we got the opportunity to play a show with them last week. They put on a great show and the Grammy's (yeah that's right) they have under their belt are well deserved. It was inspiring to share the stage with them. Give them some love if you haven't already. We're looking forward to working with them on and off stage in the future. Check out Trae Pierce and The T-Stones below.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>At the end of the show on Saturday</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">When the venue was closing down, bouncers were shuffling people toward the doors and a fan came up to us and asked an unexpected question. "Do you ever worry about stuff?" Obviously, we do. She said she'd like to give us something if that was okay. She began to explain that awhile back someone gave her this stone with the instructions that anytime she felt stressed to rub the imprint with her thumb. She said it was something that really worked for her and it was time to share it with someone else. We said yes, we'd be honored to take it and would definitely use it. She smiled really big and gave us a warm hug and was off. How awesome is that!? And yes, it does work. There's probably some brain science behind it but we think it works because someone felt it was important to try to soothe another person's worries. A lot of time knowing someone wants to help is all the healing you need.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So, wherever you are on Thanksgiving don't just say what you're grateful for. Find someone, one on one and thank them for something that they've done for you. We have lots of things to be grateful for but they're just things. People are what matter. We love you. Thanks! Tell us about someone that deserves your thanks in the comments below and then tell them in person if you can. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Kyle's Grandfather passed away last week so we've taken a little time off. The tour resumes this Friday and you can check out dates here: <a contents="www.roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>www.roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates</strong></span></a>. Here's Kyle's unedited thoughts:</span><br> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">"No one deals with death the same way so it's hard to figure out the right way to do it. There's thousands of philosophies on what happens when we die but the only thing I know for sure is that you leave and people miss you. It's hard losing someone but I feel like I've lost a part of myself. I feel like I should know myself better and where I came from and now I can't. My grandfather was a great man. A man who broke laws because he knew they were immoral. It's because of people like him I can drink from whatever water fountain I want and stay overnight in the next county over. I'm a little scared. That seems like a huge fucking torch to carry and I don't think I have the balls. Everyone owes their existence to their grandparents but I owe the idea of myself to them as well. I find myself saying 'I wish I could have known him better' or 'I wish I would have asked him more questions' but I think that's inevitable when you lose someone. I knew him like I assume most people know their grandparents. Not very well, on a peer level at least but I don't think that's what our relationship was for. It was for playing chess and having one person say 'I love you' and the other say 'thanks' and laugh hysterically. I can't think of a question I'd ask him today where I don't know what he'd say so I don't think I've lost him entirely. I've always loved the saying, 'One day, in the not too distant future the last person you knew will think of you for the last time and then you will finally be allowed to die.'"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Dealing with Life</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're reminded that we need to take care of ourselves. It's really easy to let things slide once Fall hits (especially with all the delicious carb packed food the Holidays bring). Playing shows is really great cardio and with no roadies it's decent weight training too. However, if we don't get out blood going on our off days we feel really weird. J got a pretty sick stationary bike and can clear over 9 miles in 30 minutes without breaking a sweat. Just kidding, he get's super sweaty. We feel like that's good. Does anyone else bike for a workout? Is that good? Kyle's doing calisthenics but might need to up his game. We're planning on releasing a lot more video content next year so our fitness goals are to not cringe when we have to watch ourselves over and over in the editing room. It's like that scene in <strong><a contents="American Beauty" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Beauty_(1999_film)"><span style="color:#3498db;">American Beauty</span></a></strong>: "I just wanna look good naked!"

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We've been in the studio this week</strong></span><span class="font_large"> and have a few brand new, never heard before tracks we're finishing up. We've been using a few different approaches to the recording process and we're achieving some really cool tones and captures. We mentioned The Maelstrom studio a few weeks ago. Here's a floor photo from a guitar session we did last week over there. Be sure to follow them on IG and us too if you haven't already.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">This guy certainly doesn't think so! We had a blast last week in Gainesville and Macon GA! We got to work with two really great sound engineers at<strong> Mule Camp Tavern</strong> and <strong>The Hummingbird</strong> (looking at you Austin and Johnny!). Thanks for making it sound awesome! Thanks to everyone that came out. Saturday's crowd was incredible! We felt really connected to you all and that's really the only thing that shows are about.

<p><span class="font_large">We've gotten to headline a few shows this year but we still love being an opener. There's a certain young energy opening a show. You have something to prove. You give it a little more. At the same time there's a little less pressure.There's nothing quite like it. Thanks<strong> Bootz & Katz</strong> (say that 4 times!) for teaming up with us on Saturday!

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>So... Is it too early to set up Christmas decorations?</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We're a little on the fence but at least we're past Halloween. We haven't noticed tree lots popping up yet. When do you start preparing for your winter holidays? We usually wait until after Thanksgiving but we won't yell at you if you're getting into it now ;p</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So if you're feeling the the holiday spirit we have something just for you. A few years ago we decided to produce a version of<strong> "Oh Holy Night." </strong>All the proceeds from downloads then and still today go to help a local Georgia charity called<strong> "White Christmas,"</strong> that helps families make their Christmas warm by providing toys and winter necessities if they just need a little help making it happen. It's awesome. So, we know it's early but check out our song and consider downloading it. It goes to a really great cause. The work these people do is amazing and we're glad to be a part of it in a even just a small way. We hope you will too!</span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font_xl">There's always a little stress when you have a show in a city that you've never visited </span></strong><strong><span class="font_xl">much less played. Last week we had two.</span></strong><span class="font_large"> <br>As a musician so much goes through your head on the drive. Are people going to show up? Does the venue represent itself honestly? Will the check clear? It's like diving off a cliff into a pool. People that have done it before give you a good idea of what to expect but you could easily hit your head on a rock or break your legs. We're happy to say we emerged from the plunge smiling saying, "Let's do that again!" Thanks to everyone last week that took a chance on seeing a new band (or in a few cases driving a few hours to see a new venue)! Saturday's show in Southern Pines, NC was at capacity with a line out the door and a room full of people that had seen our videos, heard our songs and knew our lyrics. It was incredible! We already have a date booked for the next tour. Keep an eye on our tour calendar.

<p><span class="font_large">We'd like to take a second to tell you about a new venue in Franklin, NC called <strong>"Altered Frequencies"</strong> or AF for short. There's a lot to love about it but what has us hooked is the name. There, you don't rock out; You rock out AF! If you're ever in the area you need to check it out. It takes a lot of guts to open a music venue in a small town, especially one with attitude. It's not huge place but everyone there made it feel like home. It felt like having a sleepover at your "cool friend's" house.

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Into The Maelstrom!</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">While we're giving out shout outs you need to check out this absolutely INSANE studio we've been working with! We have to pinch ourselves every time we're there to make sure we're not dreaming. Every amp, microphone, plug in we could dream of, perfectly acoustically tuned rooms and an amazing group of team members make this the place we dreamed about when we were first starting our careers. It's called The Maelstrom. You can watch the studio's promo video below and understand why we can't get the butterflies out of our stomachs. Their calendar is filling up but if you've ever considered recording anything this is the place to do it. They handle everything from Gospel to Death Metal to Audio Books.

We've added a few dates so be sure to check out our Tour Calendar for the latest updates:<span style="color:#3498db;"> </span><a contents="www.roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>www.roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates</strong></span></a> One addition to the tour we're excited about is returning to The Hard Rock in Tampa FL. They have an awesome production team. We're really excited to get to hang out with them again. Plus the ID cards that open all the "Restricted Access" door make us feel like we're in Ocean's 11. Hard Rock Tampa recently pumped $700 million into expanding their attractions so we can't wait to see what they've done! <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/e8ea082977730b80a2272fcb6b78745e19ed08fc/original/hrhc-orlando-weekly.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We were asked to do an interview with <strong>Trappalacia.com</strong> last week to plug our slot at this year's <strong>Halloweekend AF</strong> Festival in Franklin, NC.

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>VAN UPDATE</strong></span><br><span class="font_large">We put a new fuel pump in the van just to be safe (it was due anyway). It's amazing how a fresh shiny new fuel pump helps with fuel economy. We're gonna need it this tour!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Friday's show in Florence was awesome! It had all the great things that come with a small club show.</span> <span class="font_large">We've gotten to play some bigger venues this year but there's nothing quite like a small intimate room filled with people who know our music. There's a special energy in that setting. You can see people's faces, catch them mouthing the words and feel a real connection with the crowd. It's an amazing experience that you don't get in a big dark room or an outdoor festival. It does have it's logistical disadvantages, though. It can feel invasive and sometimes even a little unsafe.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">One thing a lot of musicians secretly HATE is getting passed notes. Usually because of what's written on them. It's a form of heckling. It interrupts the show. "It's my friends birthday" "Can you play Brown Eyed Girl?" Or something that's just unintelligible. A few songs in someone threw this note on the stage.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/71a62ac646d280fef5ab12dcde90a6635b9d7c18/original/received-2067658646667748.jpeg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We we're blown away. Not because someone knew our music but because one simple motion changed our entire notion of being passed a note on stage. Yes, we played all of them. And it felt great!</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It wasn't always that way though. Intimate rooms almost always have hecklers. Here's our Top 7 we've had to deal with in the past and are likely to show up in small to midsize venues, no matter who you are.. Don't be like these people. They're not your bro.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The Freebird Guy</span><br><span class="font_large">You've seen this guy before. He has a few too many and just blurts out names of songs that everyone knows the band is NOT going to play<br>(We carry a "Free Bird" in our pocket).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The Aspiring Background Dancer</span><br><span class="font_large">She's drunk and just wants to dance... on stage. She's one misplaced step away from tripping unplugging the entire show.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The Human Cymbal Mute </span><br><span class="font_large"> Someone is dared to go touch something on stage. 4 more shots and they build up the courage to go do it and we're left with a drunken zombie slowly reaching out to grab a cymbal with their bare hands during the show (This has ACTUALLY happened to us).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The Middle School Crush</span><span class="font_large"> <br>It always nice to get a note from an admirer, just not during a guitar solo.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The Suburban Elitist </span><br><span class="font_large">Thinks the show just started when she came in even though she's 45 minutes late and yells out "Play something we can dance to" during an emotional moment that you've spent 40 minutes building up to.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">The Agent </span><br><span class="font_large">"Is REALLY good friends" with the owner of another venue in the same town and can "Get you a gig there" and has interrupted the show to tell you because he's "Leaving right now."</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">Creepy Uncle </span><br><span class="font_large">We want to shake your hand. We want to give you a high five, just not after the end of every song in our set.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Have you ever had a day where everything is just going right?</strong></span><br><br><br><span class="font_large">We'll admit it's hard to recall those days. Not because we don't have them but because it's easy to focus on what's going wrong. It's part of our human evolution and what keeps us alive most of the time. It's the primitive part inside us that tells us to watch out for predator, not touch bright red things in the woods and the reason you sometimes feel like you're falling when you're about to doze off. While all these things are important they can have a tendency to make us forget all the small things that go on in our lives that make things go right... Like fuel pump relays.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">We almost didn't make our first show of Fall tour.</span></strong><br><span class="font_large">We got the van back from the shop and loaded up to head out to Valdosta, GA, our first stop on our Fall tour. You can check out where else we'll be at<strong><a contents=" www.roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates" data-link-label="Tour Dates" data-link-type="page" href="/tour-dates"><span style="color:#3498db;"> www.roshambeauxmusic.com/tour-dates</span></a></strong> Everything checked out and we were excited to get back on the road after a much needed break. We loaded the last piece of gear, did our last "idiot check," got in the van and... nothing. The van was struggling to turn over. We'd replaced several culprits recently (starter, plugs, wires, battery, alternator) so we weren't exactly sure what would've caused it. Our mechanic had closed up early and wasn't answering his phone so we knew towing it to the shop would have to wait until Monday. We unloaded, called the venue and tried to figure out options. Acquiring a rental would take to long to make the show and fitting everything into a Ford Escape was laughable to even entertain (we folded the seats down and measured, though). We just had to cancel. It was a little heartbreaking as dumb as that sounds. The first show after a long break is like walking through the last turnstile before a roller coaster. All the building anticipation for a last minute letdown.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">"Wouldn't it be hilarious if it just started now?"</span></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">J got in the driver's seat, stared, smiled and turned the key half way... CLICK! A loud one followed by the sweet quiet hum of the fuel pump engaging. "That wasn't there before," J said. "That Click was LOUD too. I wonder if the relay was stuck." He turned the key the rest of the way and it started easily. Too easily, if there is such a thing.</span></p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/055b730d08ef4bbb92f916a9f30178d3bf96de6f/original/van2.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></span></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span class="font_xl">"Fuck, let's take it for a spin."</span></strong></p>
<p><br><span class="font_large">Worst case scenario we'd have to tow an unloaded van but we'd see if the fuel pump was working. It ran fine. The venue called back and said they were pretty sure they found a local band to cover the show. We had a decision to make. Do we cancel or load up the van and haul ass to Valdosta and "maybe" start on time? "We should probably cancel. What if it's a bigger issue than a stuck relay? Is this safe? Is that berry poisonous, lol." We told ourselves if the van starts 20 times we'll go. On the 19th time we left it running, loaded all the gear, bought a spare relay from O'Reilly, made it to the show, set up and only started 30 minutes late. Sometimes things just go right, too right if there is such a thing. We forget it takes a lot of small things to make that happen like $20 fuel pump relays, AAA towing packages and gut feelings that you'll be fine if you keep going, among other things.</span></p>

<p><br><br><span class="font_large">Fall has always been our favorite season. We put on our first hoodies this week. We had a few bond fires, cleaned gutters, got some pumpkins and played video games. The Germans have a word, <em>Geborgenheit,</em> that means the tranquil cozy feeling you get when you're indoors during a cold rainy day. So, this cool Fall rain outside right now has put us in the frame of mind that reminds us of why this is our favorite time of year.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>But enough about work... </strong></span><br><span class="font_large">Last week we told you we'd tell you what we think about Nintendo's remake of one of our all time favorite video games "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening."<br>We're always a little nervous playing remakes because of the huge potential companies have to completely destroy your childhood. We're happy to say that this game is a nostalgic storm of awesomeness! Link's Awakening DX blew our minds as kids in 1998 on <strong><a contents="Game Boy Color" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7OYNjdvY3Q"><span style="color:#3498db;">Game Boy Color</span></a></strong>: a non back-lit, AA battery powered, 160x1440 pixel hand held gaming device. Nintendo has successfully recreated our childhood experience with updated graphics and a few quality of life updates with modern controls. The controls of the Switch get rid of a lot of the tedious back and forth from menu screens for more fluid game play. This is definitely not a re-imagining of Link's Awakening but a successful remake. If you've been thinking about picking it up we DEFINITELY recommend it. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60549/2c3756f62e84146e58053726fb848523b5c97e34/original/hw-collage-bw.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>It's funny how being off the road usually just means more work.</strong></span></p>
<p><br> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">Mostly, because it gives us an opportunity to catch up on things we've been saying we'd do all tour long: Finish arranging that song, fix that broken mic stand, research that thing you've been wondering about, etc. We tell people we're musicians but what we MEAN by that is we're also booking agents, publicists, managers, auto mechanics, event planners, film editors, graphic designers, accounts administrators, advertisers and maintenance engineers that play music. It can be a lot to juggle especially when we're touring. Being off the road essentially gives us more office days. However, we also get more days to create and play and feel like the teenagers we were when we decided we wanted a career playing music. We got into this thinking musicians are lazy but found out we've never worked harder in our lives.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>We're still on break from the road this week but sometimes the road can be it's own break.</strong> </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're reminded that playing a show is the time you really get to be a musician or at least feel like one. Music can be great and personal on it's own but when it's amplified for a room full of people it's a completely different thing. It's cool a metric to live with. Performing music is the trade off, for sure. It's worth the sweat and anxiety. It's both the cause and the cure. Like we always say, "The show is free. We charge to set up and tear down!" </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Speaking of setting up and tearing down, there's gonna be a whole bunch of that this Fall! We're super excited to announce our Fall Tour!

<p><span class="font_large">This week we talked about our <em>Top 5 "Who We'd Want In Our Crew"</em> during a zombie apocalypse. Maybe a doctor, a weapons expert, a gardener, a lumberjack and a guy that ran really slow... Musician was definitely not on the list but then we thought, "If you were hunkered down with the last few remaining survivors, hiding out in a bunker somewhere wouldn't you want music?" Maybe it's just self-preservation but we think that scenario is when we'd need it most. Let us know who'd make your Top 5 and if your particular set of skills would survive the Zombie Apocalypse in the comments below.</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Sometimes dealing with self doubt is overwhelming but our fans consistently remind us why we make music.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">We've gotten to play some amazing shows this summer! Opening up for Afroman was a HUGE check off the bucket list. Kyle had to loan him some guitars picks, lol. Summer had sky high ups and valley lows from shows with a few thousand people screaming lyrics back at you to shows just for bartenders and their boyfriends. Shows like the latter can cast a nasty shadow over your sense of self value. Fortunately, we've been blessed by awesome fans that support the hell out us. You remind us that music is supposed to be made for people. We feel overwhelming gratitude that you've helped us make a career doing it. We're glad that we've gotten to meet new people and see familiar faces. Thank you guys for showing up this summer! It means more than you know.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">While we're taking a break from the road for a few weeks, we're excited about creating new things. We're finishing the<strong> <a contents="mastering" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/what-is-mastering.html"><span style="color:#3498db;">mastering</span></a></strong>, the final steps before releasing our new single, "Eyes Closed Shut," a song about fixation, independence and overcoming self-doubt. You can watch the trailer <a contents="HERE." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtlSf5z78kE"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE.</strong></span></a> We have a full length video in the works. We can't wait! We'll let you know when it's ready.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We're kicking off our first night off the road with Crystal Head Vodka (Dan Akroyd's project). It's been hyped a lot but the Peaches and Cream sweet corn does notably make for a sweeter vodka. At $50-60 a liter it's a little pricey for what it is but it's definitely worth trying if you're a vodka drinker. It's like a sweet Tito's, best with citrus juice or straight up. If you don't want to shell out the cash just to try it most liquor stores sell a 50ml bottle for $8-10. Cheers!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>Neither of us are superstitious but the next Friday the 13th with a full moon in 2049 we might take the night off.</strong></span><br> </p>
<p><br> </p>
<p><br><span class="font_large">We hit the road on Friday the 13th around 10 am from Atlanta to make our scheduled 6 pm load in Louisville, KY after finding out the venue had been double booked. Luckily this venue had another location across town so we still had a show (the show in Indianapolis the following night had been canceled weeks prior). We figured we had plenty of time. On the bright side, the switch meant we'd be playing along side a very popular YouTube prank artist with over 3 million subscribers by the name of Danny Duncan: <strong><a contents="Offensive Interview Prank" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bMdApqy6QE&t=146s"><span style="color:#3498db;">Offensive Interview Prank</span></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Traffic was terrible. We planned for it but nowhere near this level. We rolled into load in at 6:57, hauled ass through a crowd of young teenagers (there to see Danny's sold out show) to make it to the second stage. We knew the show was going to start late but the venue was cool about it. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Kyle uses an in ear monitor system. The previous IEM had seen it's last night in Roanoke, VA a few days before and we rushed to replace it. We even got the model up from the one we had due to the government saying we were no longer allowed to use the this particular model and were in violation of FCC regulations... They were nice about it, though. You can read more about it <a contents="HERE. " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.gps.gov/spectrum/"><span style="color:#3498db;"><strong>HERE. </strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl"><strong>First song in and... the receiver dies. Like, DIES, dies. </strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Luckily, we made it through the show but we knew the performance suffered for it. We were overwhelmed when people came up to us after the show saying it was incredible. A few staffers said it was the best show they'd seen there. We felt incredibly grateful for such a gracious crowd even though most of the people there had no idea who we were.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">However, merch sales were awesome and we got paid well to do what we love. It's amazing that our bad days really aren't that bad. We were reminded if you're able to do what you love with you're best friend AND it's a living you already hit the jackpot. The road home was long and we crashed at a truck stop but fell asleep to a podcast where we may have discovered the worlds best tasting vodka made from American "Peaches and Cream" corn and water from Wisconsin Glaciers. It won best tasting Vodka in Moscow last year.
