Thanks to everyone who came out to Hard Rock Live. No question it was the most fun show we've played! We also want to say a special thanks to Juan Cantu and Dave Burleson as well as Andy Bromberg for sitting in with us on vocals for the night. You guys are amazing and we can never thank you enough for stepping up with only two day's notice. Incredible!

The four of us in Berman have decided to continue on without Guy Jettman (Corey Melton.) We wish him the best of luck in whatever he does in the future.

Over the next few weeks, we will be releasing the music video for "Send Me to the End". We're also going to be doing some collaborations with several local vocalists both in the studio and at shows while we're searching for our permanent frontman.

We're so excited about what's in store for us as we continue to write, record, release and perform good old rock and roll, and we'll keep you posted on all Berman happenings coming up.

Greg, Mike, Steve, and Bradd

WE ARE OFFICIALLY FINISHED WITH OUR NEW ALBUM, SEND ME TO THE END!



We are now taking pre-release orders for the album for a special price of $5. The price will go up after the official release of the cd on April 14, 2006.

We will be mailing out these orders as soon as we get the discs back from the manufacturers, so it's very possible you could get the CD before April 14.

Also, we are premiering tracks from the album on Insomnia Radio Podcast, on March 27. We will be playing other new tracks on several podcasts throughout the month, so keep checking out the site.

And if you still don't know what podcasting is, read this PDF.

--------------------------
I am happy to announce that berman's third full-length album, Send Me To The End, will be released Friday April 14, 2006, at our Orlando CD release party.

We will be taking online pre-orders once the production of the CD commences.

Stay tuned!

Long time no see!

We here at berman have been working hard on our new album, and I am happy to announce that we are done with the songs! Now we just need to pracitce the new stuff so that we got it down perfect before playing them live or recording the final sessions.

It looks like we'll be recording through January and have the CD manufactured and ready to buy by early March. I know that seems like a while, especially because we've been hyping up the new material so long. But I have a four-fold argument to stand behind:

Even though the albums pushed back,
1) You'll survive.
2) It'll be worth the wait.
3) We'll be playing new material at shows.
4) MP3s for selected singles will be released weeks before the CD's available.

See? It's not so bad!

keep in touch! - Steve; Drums
