Hey RoshamFAM!
Summer is officially here and it's getting hot, especially here in Georgia! This week we're unleashing some new tank tops to help you stay cool. We print our tank tops right here in Atlanta on high quality premium NextLevel material so the fit and feel is a cut above what you'd normally find at a concert. Take a look at our apparel store below. Shout out to Terminus Tees and StoreFrontier for helping us keep all sizes in stock and on demand! You guys rock!

What's Up With Kyle...
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.
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.
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!

What's Up With J...
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.

So Much More Roshambeaux on YouTube...
Of course we put all of our Official Music Videos on YouTube but we also have live podcasts with us goofing off and hanging out with whoever logs on, live performances, radio appearances, random skits (we're wanna-be actors) and tasty treats from J's kitchen (yeah, we're not kidding)! Go down the rabbit hole!
Thanks To Our Monthly Supporters!
As you might imagine, this last year's been pretty rough for most musicians, especially indie musicians like us. We've gotten by by the generous support of our subscribers on Patreon. Patreon is a place where artists put out extra exclusive content that you can't see at a show or on social media.
We started out playing covers in local bars so now on our Patreon, we've gone back to those old days by taking requests once month for new cover. We learn it, put our spin on it and do a live performance video every month based on those requests. It's been a lot of fun! We've done everything from Segar to Prince to Counting Crows to Eagles to James Brown. Y'all have some crazy ideas!
Thanks so much to our Patrons. We couldn't do this without you!
Steve B, Nancy B, Renee T, Nadia M, James M, Jeff C & Phyllis F!
