Hello everybody and welcome back to HAIR IN THE AIR. Tonight I am very proud and honored to bring you something that is very near and dear to me. This will be the shortest blog I have ever written. A few months ago I promised you new music from 3D In Your Face. I promised you a new album. Well tonight I deliver the goods exclusively to my HAIR IN THE AIR fans. Here is the first single "Generation Durt" off of our brand new studio record "Midnight Devils". Feel free to share this and post up comments. I want to know what you think. We will be releasing "Midnight Devils" on Friday, Dec. 6th at The 21st Saloon. If you can't attend the show I will have the album available for download on itunes and purchase through our new Ebay store. With out any further adieu here is the first single "Generation Durt"
This Friday, Nov. 22nd we will be back at The 21st Saloon. This will be our second annual Thanksgiving show. We will be teaming up with Youth Emergency Services to raise money for homeless children and teens in the Omaha Metro area. Friday's show will be an ugly sweater contest with prizes from Bizarre Body Art, Omaha Funny Bone, Hog Stop BBQ and Blue Barn Theatre Omaha. DJ House will be on hand to MC this magical evening as well as an appearance from The Duct Tape Transformers. See you on Friday.

"Need More Cowbell" Tour Diary. Veteran's Day Blog.
HELLO! Welcome to HAIR IN THE AIR, The official blog of 3D In Your Face. I am damn excited this week, kind of the same as every week. I love this blog and I want to thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to read this. I know I bombard you with 3D In Your Face stuff everyday but here at HAIR IN THE AIR, I get to really let it all hang out and tell you how I really feel. This weeks blog is about something very close and dear to my heart. Here in The States we celebrated Veteran's Day. I know I did a Veteran's post last year so I wanted to do something new and different for your reading pleasure. This summer we as a band were blessed to do a few shows with two US Army Vets as honorary roadies. This blog is going to be a tour diary about the "Need More Cowbell Summer Tour 2013". I know it's a little late but I was saving this for a good time.
"Need More Cowbell Summer Tour Diary Day 1"
I'm not quite sure how all the stars align but we were scheduled two road shows, a Friday in Fremont (my hometown) and Saturday in Norfolk (opening for Warrant). The weeks leading up to these shows Sniper informed us that a few of his Army buddies would be coming along to make the dates with us. I was very excited and nervous. Things can get a little wild out on the road. Friday was the first day and we arrived in Fremont at 3 PM for load in. I remember it being the hottest day of the summer and we were loading in on a concrete slab a few guys short. So everyone was crabby. We worked our asses off and just about on cue Sniper rolls up as the last case is being shut. Jim, Dan, and Sniper walk up and we exchange pleasantries. Dan looks at me and says "Hey, are we going to rock this joint tonight or what?" "Absolutely" I replied. "Where is the music?" Dan asks. I tried to explain that we weren't up and running but before I could finish he says "You, shut the hell up and crank that shit to 11". I knew at this moment that we were going to have a lot of fun. The guys help unpack the guitars and took a ton of pictures. I can only imagine what they thought of little old Fremont, NE. Jim and I got off on the right foot as he was a huge KISS fan and had just returned from seeing Motley Crue in Vegas. One thing you muts know about Dan is that he was wounded in combat and lost one of his legs. When ever he is asked about the "bionic limb" he replies "Thanks for paying for it with your tax dollars and would you like to give her a spin". The guys ended up hanging out with us while we got dressed and usually we don't allow visitors on our bus. The show was great and I truly believe the guys had a blast. We ended the night with "Were Not Gonna Take It", Dan and Jim joined us on stage beating the hell out of two cowbells donated by The Playboy. Probably the thing that blew my mind the most was that they both stayed and helped us load out. They literally packed the trailer and bus before they left. Stand up fellas.
"Need More Cowbell Tour Diary Day 2"
After a very cozy night spent on the bus, and a nice 11 AM wake up by the bar staff we were headed to Norfolk to play The Off Road Ranch Bike Festival with our heroes Warrant. Might I mention that we ended up watching Van Wylder the night before, one of the last three remaining movies left on our bus. The trip to Norfolk was great. We had frozen pizza and coffee. Couldn't ask for more. Little did we know that the temperature had dropped while we were sleeping and now was right around 50 degrees and holding for the whole day. We arrived right on time but unfortunately Warrant was late which is very typical of these big shows. So we loaded some gear and Sniper, Jim, and Dan arrived a little later. What you have to realize about these big shows is that Warrant was the headliner so the get the first run at the stage. When they finally arrived things weren't right with their sound guy and they delayed sound check by two hours. Things were really tense. No one was talking to the Warrant guys and they seemed upset. Jim and Dan not really seeming to care wanted the guys in Warrant to sign their 82nd Airborne Flag. Having traveled all this way they didn't even think twice about walking up on the stage and striking up a conversation with Joey Allen. I was blown away. Turns out a few months after this show Jim was invited back to another Warrant show in North Carolina. Crazy how these things work out. Warrant ended up going on early and we played after their set. I remember it being so cold but the crowd was so into us. We played better than I ever remember playing. For "Were Not Gonna Take It", Jim and Dan came out and played the cowbells. I looked over to the side of the stage and I see Jim betting the hell out of this cowbell. Wood chips were flying everywhere. We laughed so hard in those two days and I was so honored just to hang out with these heroes that I can now call friends. Truth be told I was more honored to shake their hands than I was to shake the hands of Warrant.
To my new friends and all those that served. Thank you.
Friday, Nov. 15th we are at The 21st Saloon in Omaha, NE. Our good buddy Tuco's antique shop Benson Bazaar will be sponsoring the show as well as your favorite Glam Gore Girls. Those wild girls will be on hand to make your blood boil and your senses run wild. Omaha Night Life will be honoring the band with and award and we will be featured on their site as the Band of the Week. They will be there filming the show for a video that will be featured on www.omahanightlife.com. Saturday, Nov. 16th we are making a return visit to Grand Island, NE. The Full Circle Venue will be hosting us for a special one night only performance. We can't wait to see all of our western Nebraska fans again. Also don't forget to listen to my radio show HAIR IN THE AIR, this Saturday 8 pm to 10 pm on The Big O 101.9FM.

It Was A One In A Million Shot Doc. Happy Birthday Diane.
MY WALLET IS GONE! Hey everybody out there in the heavy metal promise land. Welcome to HAIR IN THE AIR, The Official blog of 3D in Your Face. Things are positively boiling over here on my end. There is so many things I need to tell you and I am so bad at keeping secrets. First and foremost, I said this a few weeks back but I hope you are ready for one wild winter. Our 2013 tour keeps trudging on and there is no sign of it slowing down in 2014. Thanks to all of you Zombies that came out to celebrate one more night of Halloween at The 21st Saloon last Friday. What a great party! If you haven't yet made it out to The 21st Saloon, I'm not really sure if we can be friends. Nah, just kidding. The big big news of the week is that the brand new album has been officially mastered and it is being passed around to our close friends. We are waiting on some feed back before we go ahead and release the single. I almost can't wait any longer. Should I give my loyal HAIR IN THE AIR fans a little taste or wait until I officially can say we have a single? That is the question. The album art work is being finished up and we just got some proofs back from the disc makers. Things are going to be happening really quickly and I hope you are ready. I don't know if I can contain myself. I just want to give it all to you. A huge thanks goes out to one of my best friends and our legendary sound men Troy Way. He has been the one responsible for the mix-down of this new record. The guy has to listen to use every night and then field texts and calls from us on his days off. I love you Troy. YOU MADE ME SOUND AWESOME. The dream is about to become reality.

| Friday, Nov. 8th The Intergalactic Party of The Century at The 21st Saloon |
I had a lot of trouble deciding what to write about this week. As if that is different than any other week. I feel we are all so creatively drained from the making of this record that I don't really have much to talk about. Two years in the works and we are within a month of the release. That has to be something there. On top of the new record I am working on creating a new website for the band. This has been one of those projects that you do because you love but you hate every minute of staring at that damn computer screen. Sniper asked me the other day "Do you think all of this hard work will pay off?". I responded "Absolutely". I firmly believe if we are true to ourselves and to our fans there is nothing that can stop us. This is all building to something huge.

| Got The Sixx Blackbird up and running this week thanks to Dietz Music Lincoln. |
I am going to leave you with that for this week but don't worry. My loyal fans here on HAIR IN THE AIR will be the first people to listen to the new single from the new 3D In Your Face record. Hint-It's coming within the next two weeks.

| Downtown Diane - Sweat D. Her parents would be so proud. |
This Friday we will be celebrating our merchandise girl Downtown Diane Corring's Birthday at The 21st Saloon. Diane has been with us for roughly 8 months (forgive me if this is wrong). She has seen a lot and we have become very good friends over the last year. Diane is an amazing person and her passion for music and Rock N Roll runs very deep. Diane and I have almost died together on the 3D In Your Face Tour bus, we have weather 40 degree outside shows in Norfolk, NE and 110 degree summer festivals in small town Iowa. I've seen her nearly rip a girls head off for getting to close to us. Most of all she always shows up with a smile and never leaves until the last cable is packed away. Never afraid to get her hands dirty Diane has become an amazing addition to The 3D In Your Face Family. We are all very blessed to have her on the road with us. Not to mention she never even bats an eye at the dick and fart jokes that tend to erupt in the backstage areas. A true road warrior. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thanks for being apart of this. We all love you a lot.
As stated above we are playing this Friday, Nov. 8th at The 21st Saloon. We are teaming up with Krypton Comics and Gloss Hair Salon to bring you The Intergalactic Party of The Century. Super hero night at The 21st Saloon. There will be an appearance by The Duct Tape Transformers, if you missed them last time you wont want to miss their return trip. These guys will bring the house down. This party will be hosted by our good friend DJ House. Saturday, Nov. 9th we are taking a little road trip to Salem, NE to play a special one night only performance at The Big Red Inn. Just follow the link for directions to the venue. If you are looking for a wild small town bar with lots of attitude The Big Red Inn is going to be bouncing Saturday night. I heard they hired Patrick Swayze and they are changing the name of the bar to The Road House in honor of our show. Time to get loud Salem. See you out there on the road.
