Beyond Reach: News

Maya hopes this will be a good year for us all.  Maya sure hopes so anyway……

We’re forging ahead, though we have had a few sit backs due to each of us having family obligations with helping out our parents and then just life in general. We had to cancel a half a doz. shows this past Fall, but Maya believes we’ll be getting out there among you again this coming year.  Maya hopes we’ll be playing somewhere cosmic on 12:21:12.  

Maya also thinks our new music is coming together very nicely and the next CD/EP will be our best one yet, though Maya couldn’t promise anyone will hear it after 12:21:12.

Enough with the Mayan calendar references, Maya’s gonna' stop it now…

There are a couple of videos you might be interested in checking out.  First, we put together a trippy little YouTube for Randle’s song “Waiting On The Sun” off the last EP.

Next there is a nice little homegrown YouTube out there that includes us playing this past summer at the Rain Masters reunion / backyard picnic celebrating among other things, the homecoming of members of the James River Band.

Julie and Gary Alexander hosted the gathering and their Rain Master was decked out for a great outdoor party.  It was a brutally hot afternoon with thunderstorms on the horizon. We got set up, played two songs and the heavy rain began. Everyone joined in to help move our instruments into a large garage to wait out the storm. The rain wouldn’t stop (you’ll hear it in the background towards the end of the video) so we just started playing in the corner of garage, surrounded by a bunch of wet, but happy people. Janet Replogle took the video of the party. She and her husband, Roger, were two of the organizers of the reunion party. We want to thank all of the folks who worked on this, the James River Band, Julie and Gary for hosting the party at their place, Roger and Janet Replogle, Dennis Beck, Joey, Rocky, Terry, Rusty,   John, ALL of our Marshfield friends. We know it was a lot of work but we were glad to be a part of it all. Thanks for inviting us to play music.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holidays and we’re looking forward to seeing you in the new year.

Time to join this guy and don your earbuds... 

Our new EP "Waiting On The Sun" is now available and you can order it here on the "Buy" link

Thanks to all of you who have patiently been waiting over the pass several months for us to post something.

We’ve been working a lot on recording a bunch of new music.  So much new music that we’ve decided to break it all up into smaller, more frequent releases.  The first of which will be a six song EP that we’ll be selling online starting in April and at our 2011 Spring concerts (check the Calendar section for those updates). 

Our plan is to start releasing EP’s of 5/6/ or 7 new songs every six months or so instead of laboring over time consuming full blown CD’s with expensive artwork and booklets that just end up costing us more money, that we then in turn have to pass along as an expense to you guys.   We believe that in this day of “downloads” that most people would prefer getting new music from us more often and at about a dollar a song. 

So that’s what it is we’re going to try to do in the future.
