The Moments That Never Fade Away

HELLO! Everybody and welcome to HAIR IN THE AIR, The Official Blog of 3D In Your Face.  I hope you are ready for a barn burner of a blog this week.  I promise I wont hold out on until the last minute like I did last week.  Just needed a little inspiration if you catch my drift.  Before we get crazy a little update on the "Forbidden City" music video.  As I am writing this we are at 3,384 views.  The way this baby is going it's going to top the "In Your Face" video in a month.  Making waves.  Keep up the sharing.  I have to tell you I am very excited to be getting out of town this week.  We are playing two shows this weekend which is just music to my ears.  I have been waiting so patiently for the slow season to wind up.  Get me out there where I do best.  Friday, Jan. 23rd we will be raising some hell inside of The 21st Saloon.  This week our good friends at Magnum Pro Wrestling will be sponsoring the event.  Bring your foam fingers, title belt, and knee pads it's going to be one of those kind of nights.  Saturday, Jan. 24th we are headed south across the boarder.  That's the Nebraska boarder to Beloit, KS for a very special show at Down Under.  If you remember the last time we went to Beloit we got trapped inside of a steel horse barn as a tornado passed over the town.  It hailed for an hour straight. AHHH memories.  Don't miss your chance to see us this week

Earlier I told you about our little trip to Beloit, KS.  Let me tell you that was one of the scariest experiences of my life.  We always seem to have those experiences.  Every year there are a few nights you just think that this might be the way it ends.  I'm not trying to be a downer on this blog but I always realize something everytime we have one of those close calls.  If this was the way I was suppossed to go, then I am happy that it's with my best friends while we are out on the road together.  It's the most Rock N Roll way to die except maybe hookers and cocaine but that even rubs a lot of people the wrong way.  Sure I would rather be with my loved ones and have the chance to say goodbye but there is just something so romantically tradic about the whole thing.  The rest of the guys and the band have all been through these hairy times.  Storms, bus problems, and fires.  You make peace with it and enjoy every moment that is happening around you.

The same can be said about those trule amazing moments that happen in your life.  Those magical nights where everything goes right and the world is at it's knees.  Those are the kind of night you remember forever.  Those are the kind of nights you save in the back of your head to tell your grandkids.  And believe me I have had way more of these nights then the ones mentioned above.  Really when you think about both of these kind of events as you are living them you never actually realize the scale of the situation.  It's not until after the moment has passed and you have a chance to breath and reflect can your really judge the outcome.  One of our favorite past times on the bus is to tell old war stories about the wildest show we ever did, the lousiest show, the coldest show, the most dangerous.  Believe me I have some whoopers and the best thing about them is that I have three other guys sitting next two me that lived the exact same moments I did.  The big shows, the small shows, the shows that seemed like a waste of time but really were the most fun.  Every time I turn to these guys I remember that we have been through a whole heap.  Not just the boys in the band but the crew as well.  Our crew is some of the craziest bastards to walk the planet and I am proud as hell to have them on our side.  I keep telling myself that life is all about experiences.  Get out there and live a little.  Soak it up and breath in the cool air of being alive.

FOREVER PROUD

If It's Coming From Anywhere Else It's All Bullshit.

Hello everybody and welcome to HAIR IN THE AIR, The Official Blog of 3D In Your Face.  Coming to you by way of Omaha, NE today.  I was contemplating writing this weeks blog but I got some great ecouragement that made me realize that this thing is not just about me it's about you guys.  So here we go.  The most important thing going on in our world right now is our new music video.  I know you are sick of hearing about it but I have a little followup for you.  Our third single and new music video for "Forbidden City" is just nearing 2,000 views in under a week.  For our last video we were averaging 1,000 views a month.  Put that in your vape and puff on it.  Please keep sharing and hashtagging #forbiddencity.  I want to thank everyone for purchasing a shirt or hoodie.  Thank you for being apart of this video.  I said this at the show last week but this video is for you, the 3D In Your Face Army.  This isn't for us.  As much as we loved writing and creating this thing I did it with you people in the back of my mind.  We wanted to give you something to hold on to.  Something that you can show your friends and family.  This is forever yours.

We are back in action this week Friday, Jan. 16th at The 21st Saloon in Omaha, NE.  I want to see you scream.

Also we are now booking shows for our end of winter, spring, and summer tours.  If you are a promoter, club, booking agent, or event planner we want to talk to you.  Please email amking4@cox.net.  Also if you want to see 3D In Your Face in your town please email too.  We promise to respond back to every email.  Our bags are always packed and we are ready to cruise.

This week I want to talk about the music plain and simple.  The super powers that the music has over my entire being.  I know that I am not alone in this and that's really the cool thing.  It's like preaching to the choir.  Lately I find myself being completely lost in the music and I'm not talking just Rock N Roll.  A few blogs back my New Years Resolution was to pure and simply LIVE.  To experience life.  The biggest thing was to experience the music.  To open up and let it touch that raw nerve.  The entire reason that the songs were written was to express the emotions of the writter.  Well, we you realize this and take it in it becomes your own emotion.  I have found myself lately being drawn to goosebumps and even tears by songs on TV or on the radio.  Last week I saw The Misfits, a horror punk band.  They played a song called "Scream".  I was surrounded by hardcore punk rockers and I was so choked up that I could barely sing the lyrics.  Now what is this?  It was a happy moment that brought me so much joy that the only way I could express myself was by getting choked up.  Now that is truly the most punk rock thing I have ever felt.  The music and the vibe washed over my entire body and took me to another place.  The same thing happened Saturday at my stepdad's barbershop choir's Christmas party.  All the chorus members stood up and sang "Go The Distance" accapella.  BAAM.  Goosebumps and the lump in my throat.  I look over and my mom is balling.  She totally gets it.

Now that I just admitted that sometimes I cry when I hear a song that really speaks to me.  Granted this is just one emotion that music brings out but I can completely gaurantee that there is at least one song out there that causes everybody to tear up.  Rock N Roll is based on the blues and the blues come from straight pure emotion.  If it's coming from anywhere else it's all bullshit.

Your Last Little Tease (More Still Photos).

Hello everybody and welcome to HAIR IN THE AIR, The Official Blog of 3D In Your Face.  The week is finally upon us.  We are in the home stretch now and I can see the finish line right ahead.  If you have been living under a rock for the last week or so you may not have heard that this Friday, Jan 9th we will be officially releasing our third single and music video for "Forbidden City".  After what seemed like an eternity but actually was 4 months of work we finally have the finished product.  Partridge Pictures delivered the video we have all watched it and have approved.  The video is acutally on Youtube as we speak but will not be published until 12:00 AM CST this Friday night (or Saturday morning).  We are so excited to be bringing you this video that we are throwing another video release party at The 21st Saloon this Friday, Jan 9th.  At Midnight we will stop the show and put the brand new video on every TV screen in the bar.  A "Midnight Devils" release if you will.  Also we are very honored to announce that model/actress/star of the new video Megan Monster will be on hand for the debut.  We will also be celebrating our good friend Richard Schultz's birthday.  Happy birthday buddy.  This show is sponsored by Pink Shugar Gourmet Cotton Candy out of Omaha.  Check their website for the best in locally made cotton candy.

So what's next?  There are so many things going on that this is really getting hard to keep track of.  Right now we are focusing on this new video release.  We are also spending a lot of time in the rehearsal room putting together new songs, and a new set list for the 2015 run.  Also in the works and never to be left on the back burner we are still working on new original tracks for our next album.  I know we promised you this album and believe me we are working our asses off to get you something in the next coming months.  I can safely say right now as we speak we are have 3 full songs demoed and ready to be layed down on recod.  KEEP THE FAITH my friends.

More summer bookings are starting to come in.  Now is the time of year that event organizers are putting together street dances, festivals, bike rallies, and 80's parties.  We desperately want to play in your city for your street dance.  We want to bring the excitement and Rock N Roll to your town if only for just one night (ehhhhhh).  Please if you know someone that is a promoter, event organizer, or booking manager get in contact with them and give them our email address.  Let's make this the greatest summer of our lives.  All booking inquiries please email Alan King at amking4@cox.net.

For now I will leave you with more still photos from the video shoot courtesy of Jason 'Chappy' Husak.  One thing somebody reminded me of this weekend is that I still need to get out there and live.  I am reminding you to do the same.  Get out of that comfort zone.  Reach for the stars and experience life.  This is our year and we will remember it forever.
