New Seasons

The Waiting Kind — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 05:38:05 +0000

I’m laying in our hotel right now, next to Brittain who is snoring. I can’t wait for much needed sleep but though I should update friends, family, and fans how we are doing. We just finished our second show with Esterlyn on the tour. It was a great night! We are in Kalispell, Montana and we played in a cool warehouse that was an indoor skate park that they used to reach the skater group of kids for Jesus. They have some awesome people there. Before we played there was a former WWE wrestler who got on stage and ripped phone books in half and rolled up pots and pans as if they were tin foil! And then he smashed some shaken up soda cans across his head! (it was cool, though we freaked out as we realized soda was flying all over our amps, guitars and pedal boards =S) but everything was fine! Driving has also been very fun with our iPhones and nintendo 64! Oh and the stupid devil dude tries to screw things up by giving our lead singer Derek some bad sicky trouble the day we had yo leave on tour. He is doing alot better now but still needs prayers from all you peeps :). Needless to say, this is a fun experience for us and personally I love it! We appreciate all the help and prayers from everyone!! It means the world to us and we need all we can get!

P.S. I want a Fender Precision Bass now (only few know why ;))

Photo Shoot.

Last night we had an awesome time getting to one last photo shoot before we hit the road. Our kind and talented friends at “the brass razoo” did an incredible job decorating. The shop has been featured recently in Lucky magazine and many others as well. We were just honored to be able to be there! Here are some pics:

We’ll put the finished ones up soon! I liked the Zebra printed chair…I think I’ll own one someday.

For those asking…

The Waiting Kind — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:36:29 +0000

We have had incredible support from family, friends and fans about our recent decision to hit the road. Thank you all so much for your incredible/giving hearts to get us up and going for the first month of “Road Life” all over the country. Many people have asked us what they could do to support or help us get going…and to be short and honest: financial support would be AMAZING!! We are taking a huge leap of faith in all of our lives believing God has our best in mind and we feel He will provide for everything we need to make this next season successful. For those asking where they can send their money or financial support (ANY amount helps for gas, and food) we have a “Donate” bar on the upper right hand side of our home page…click there and give as little or as much as you want! We recently just purchased a van and it is KILLER! Dustin posted a video on our side bar under our music section. Excitement is in the air…and once again thank you so much for all the prayers and for those that feel led to the practical side : giving.

Much love

New.

The Waiting Kind — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:00:56 +0000

We have been preparing a LONG time for this next season of life we are headed into. After years of playing together at our church. We are excited to see what God has ahead of us. We recently signed to our new booking/management company Faith Artist Agency….and these guys are the real deal. They also work with another band called “ESTERLYN” great group of guys that have a great heart for God. Check them out!! So without sounding too cliche…we are all “quitting our day jobs” and hitting it up full-time on the road!! It has been an opportunity we have all been praying for and leaning toward for a long time! We believe with all our hearts God is in this ahead of us…and we are honored to be able to use our talents to extend His kingdom and bless His church. Check out our new TOUR on the menu bar and see if we are headed to a city near you…we would love to connect with you on the road!!

much love,

SLC 2010

The Waiting Kind — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 06:28:52 +0000

We had such a great time partnering with Sojourn Community Church in West Valley, UT tonight. Such a great group of people that love Jesus. Even people who came off of the street to come and listen! We are convinced that Jesus divinely brought those people in. Here are some pics from tonight’s worship night.

We love you guys, and are honored to have you involved in this great journey. Be blessed.

Activities of late…

The Waiting Kind — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:31:03 +0000

We recently played with a buddy of ours “Ryan Stevenson” at his album release party. It was a BLAST! Hundreds of people showed up to be a part of what God is doing through his music and we were glad to be involved. Here are some pictures taken by our buddy Zach Johnson. He has a website coming…and he is the man.

Much love,

Recent events.

The Waiting Kind — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 23:28:35 +0000

We had an awesome experience playing at a local youth gathering at our friends church CFC in Nampa, Idaho. We loved every second of it…sometimes its such a breath of fresh air when venues have everything together (from load in to tear down) it really does bless me. No really. These guys were great to work with they had a love for Jesus and people…which happens to be the only thing you need to put on a successful out reach. We played with some great bands…who happened to be very different from who we are musically. But both very like minded in our goal to see people connect with Jesus during our sets. The main band was a small band I hadn’t heard of before “SPOKEN” ha. kidding. We were really floored by the lead singers ability to scream his guts out and still sing notes. (which in their scene happens to be not so common) but they did fantastic. In short we are excited to be connected more with what God is not only at our church but in the universal church as a whole. He is bigger and better than we could ever imagine. We see it more every time we get to sing for Him in front of people.

Much love.

We have been hacking away at some new tunes….and we are excited as to how they are all coming together!!! We have about 5 new ones on their way to post-production and are looking at possibly releasing a real deal EP with all of them in their finest attire. As in NOT roughly mixed by myself. Here are a few sneak peeks of what we have been doing and some new gear/pedals/guitars we have been loving to work with. We love you all and are full of faith as to what God has for all of us in this next season of our lives!

Much love,
