If A Tree Falls...

Hey Soul Mates,
it's the morning after, time to check in with a recap of our show at the Gig last night. The lineup was all aces from us to Kingstreet to Get Licious. Lots of cool performances. Of course, no one looked as good as your Rush Hour Soul. Our set was slammin! We came out swinging with left-right combo of Sucka/Excommunication. Our new song, Everything My Heart Desires went over well. And we did an even mix of our hard funk pop and ballads the rest of the way. We dedicated our last number of the night, Everyone's Ingenue, to our Florida Soul Mates (who also requested the song, thank you). It was a great way to end the set with the "I love you, love you, love you's" ringing out.

We got lots of excellent action shots at the show. Our photographer, Patty Tokahuta, captured the sweat and the sweet of a RHS set. We'll have the pix up on our site by the end of the weekend, so keep an eye out. Yup, lots of changes on RHS.com. Got to make it look clean and cool.

The only downside was our draw. And it was very poor by our standards. Which is disappointing. Especially when you get the club asking "What happened?" We don't know. We just hope that more of you will be at the next amazing show, TBA. Our success is contigent upon your support! Thanks to all the Soul Mates in attendance. Hope you enjoyed the birthday Krispy Kremes. See you soon.

Here's the set list for last night's performance:
Sucka
Excommunication
Hold On, I'm Coming
Everything My Heart Desires
Down By Love
Fall Out
Done Lost My Mind
Love Someone
Talent For Loving
Everyone's Ingenue

Have a great weekend! And Happy Father's Day to all you Dads and to all of your Dads!
Love, Power, Peace

New Bubblegum Cards

Hey Soul Mates,
be sure to check out the new bubblegum cards on our website. Hope you saved the previous batch. We will be doing these every couple of months to keep things interesting. The new ones are on the Bios page of RHS.com. There a lots of pics to choose from and we'll be putting up some freshy fresh ones on the actual bio pages this weekend.

Time to prepare for the show tonight. Gonna go grab a bite (greasy eggs and bacon). Try to shop for a new pair of pants. It's hard finding 32x34 pants for some reason. Then run a few errands. Have to pick up a mess of Krispy Kremes for the brithday celebrations at the show tonight. Get there early if you want some.

Love, Power, Peace


Try this on for size. Thanks to Bobby A. for the tip.

Labor's Reward

Hey Soul Mates,
it's been a long time coming, but a change has come. You've probably noticed a major face lift for our website. It was time. Thanks ever so much to my cousin Julie for her beautiful front page photo that graced our site for our first year. Now, we have this colorful picture of the group (taken by Patty Tokahuta) for you to see every time you check in at RHS.com. The News page has been updated for easier reading and navigation. Just run your mouse over the page. You'll find links virtually everywhere, esp. where the text is highlit [I think I just invented a word]. It takes a while to get these changes made, so I hope you enjoy them.

Yes, we have more pictures from Sunday's photo shoot on the way. Don't forget, we have a show tomorrow night. I need to get some rest. I'll do more web work in the a.m.
Love, Power, Peace.

Happy Bry Day

Hey Soul Mates,
it's Young Blue Eyes, Bryan's birthday. We had a busy day Sunday and got in some early celebrating.

First we rehearsed, running down the set for Friday's show. We will be debuting a new song "Everything My Heart Desires" and feel we've got a really strong set for you. Sadly, Adam Marsland is under the weather and won't be performing with us. Get well, soon, Adrock.

We hope that you will be attending the show. We are going to have a mini-celebration for our Gemini's Twins Bryan and Doug.

After rehearsal, we had a photo shoot near Lake Hollywood. There was a golden sunset and the band sure looked good. We hope to have some of the pictures up for you shortly. Watch our website and MySpace for new shots. Then we took Bryan out for dinner at our favorite diner. As far as I'm concerned it's always breakfast time.

Bryan has become such a great friend in the last 2 years. We started playing together in the spring of '03. Brought together by mutual friends. Thank goodness. He's an amazing player and he's really become a powerful stage presence, too. Those of you who have followed us will know what I mean. Bryan is cool and can quote just about any film, but don't put a quarter in the Napoleon Dynamite Jukebox. Ha Ha. Thanks for your commitment and friendship, Bry. I always talk about how special this group is, there are only 3 of us. But it's true. Bryan and Doug are my favorite musicians and dear people.

And my final thought for now:


Love, Power, Peace.
Happy Birthday, Bryan
