More news on the View front.  We have a new bassist by the name of Justin Mastic - welcome to View, Justin.  We'll happily work your tail off!

So the next show is 6 days away. The plan was for this to be a BJ solo acoustic show, but you never know who or what you might see happen.  Either way, it's for a good cause - the restoration of the historic Wayne Theatre.  This'll be a great show with Jesse Passage, Ryan Ladell, Urban Sparrows, and Travis Picolo.  So be there.

Wow.  It's been a while since we posted.  Let us get you up to speed...

We've been busy.  Worked on a demo for a few months - and then things changed.  Mike needed a break from View - he's been balancing a lot between View and another project, as well as finding the time for his (very important) personal life.  Joe felt the same way - and thus, after 3 1/2 years, we've (most amicably) parted ways.  Mike and Joe, you will be missed!!

Craig and BJ have decided to keep View moving.  On that note, this is a huge welcome (back) to founding drummer Erik Weber.  Erik is (re-)joining View after a 3-year hiatus.  We've been practicing together for a couple of weeks now, and things are coming together quite nicely (if we do say so ourselves!)  Anyhow, look for Erik at our upcoming shows and say hi!

Meanwhile, we've polished up and finished the demos we've recorded, and we'll be posting them here shortly.  As well, there are some shows coming up; a couple of them are BJ solo acoustic shows, which he won't tell anyone he is quite nervous about.  Come out and show him your love.  Or something.

Any interested bass players, please feel free to contact us.  Otherwise you may have to listen to BJ play bass.  Trust us on this one!!

Hope to see you soon!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  With a new year, a new layout to the site should follow!  Let us know how we did!  We are currently working on some new studio tracks that you'll see posted up on our new player.  They are all unmastered, and will have a couple of tweaks done to them when the album comes out later this year!  We have a couple of shows coming up acoustically, and with the full electric set up!  You definitely want to check out some of the acoustic shows, because they are ALWAYS a GREAT TIME!

Check back soon for more new songs, and thanks for your continued support!!!

I think we were all pretty well amazingly impressed with Common Rotation.  If you missed the show, you missed out.  But, happily, a LOT of you didn't.  And you rock.  You know who you are.

Extra special thanks to Jordan, Adam, and Eric for coming all the way from California.  You're welcome on our doorstep anytime.

And, Gary, you don't have to kick Adam's ass.  He didn't mean it.  Really.

We've started recording.  Hopefully that will turn into we're mixing, and then we're mastering, and then we're releasing another CD.  Even better, BJ's taking voice lessons.  He's tired of blowing out his voice.  And he's sure you're tired of it, too!  Not his voice, but the blowing out of said voice...oh, nevermind.

If you came out to the Foggy Bottom Coffee House show, you saw 1/2 of View in a whole new light.  That show was a great night for us...and, Craig had a microphone in front of him.  No, that's not a typo.  Look for that at more shows! 

So we've got some interesting nights of fantastic music coming up.

On October 7th, at Boulder's in Plymouth, you get to witness a spectacle never before seen.  That dark fall night, the forces of View and Mindset will take the stage.  If you don't know the implications of that statement, that's OK.  We'll lay it out for you.

Mike and Joe (bassist and drummer, respectively, for View) are also Mike and Joe (bassist and singer, respectively, for Mindset).  This means there'll be about 4 hours of music generated from these two.

And of course, some fun rivalry.

On October 26th, at Bombadill's cafe in Ypsilanti, another interesting spectacle will take place.  View (in full acoustic form) will host Common Rotation (on MySpace.com).  You do NOT want to miss this show!  Common Rotation is a phenomal 3-piece act from NY and CA, including Adam Busch (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame).

We'll be bombarding you with reminders for both of these shows.

November and December promise to be interesting - View should be spending time in the studio.

You all rock.  Come see us.

Pick up some View merchandise.

Thanks for supporting live and local music!
