What's up with Countless Hours?!

Well, since the boys are hard at work perfecting their music, Rose and I thought we would give you a little update on the blog:

1) We've added a labels section to the navigation! So now you can find older posts by a means other than the date it was posted. We've got them sorted by band member, by news, by shows, so check that out and tell us if you like it.

2) FACELIFT! The blog will be under going some visual renovations soon, so bear with us as Rosalie works her html magic and makes a new layout.

3) Did you remember to vote on flashrock? 118 to go!

Oh, and the two of us have some surprises around the corner for you all... So keep your eyes opened for some special posts. ;)

New Songs! New Myspace!

After hard work in the studio, the final cut of the recordings came in last Friday. Rumor has it that this EP is going to be legit with snazzy packaging and all.

Stoked!

The songs that were recorded are now posted up on the CH myspace!

1] Just Coincidence
2] Second Chances
3] No More

To celebrate, I gave the band's myspace page a facelift. I think it's pretty neat-o.

P.S. Janaye's back in town!!! YAY! This'll be my last post until she whisks off somewhere else for the summer.


If the myspace player that I posted doesn't work, head over to the myspace page for a listen.

Like what you hear?

12 July 2008 - Ventura Theater

Countless Hours officially has another show under their belt, and congratulations to Tyler for a successful first show ever!

Big ups to John and SoCal Musician for booking this one.

I had been told in the days leading up to the show that this was going to be an epic one. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The boys HEADLINED it.

In the absence of dear Janaye, I stood in our usual spot front-center and tried to rock out twice as hard, channeling her spirit. Hopefully I did her proud.

As for Countless Hours, they rocked harder, sounded better, and from what I saw last night, I know for a fact that they are only going to improve. Of course, there were a few rough spots here and there due to some new additions and some "environmental issues", but Ryan, Aaron, Tyler, Bob and Hunter handled it like true pros and these rough spots hardly affected the show as a whole. Overall, it was definitely their most enjoyable performance yet! They even got some compliments from the Ventura Theater sound guys *le gasp!*. Friends, Fans and Band Members alike all walked out happily that night.

OH! One more thing. It was a tasty surprise when they didn't end with Second Chances (formerly known as All In)
like before, but instead closed their set with a new one! The new song is called Never Change and features a dual guitar solo. Yes indeedy, Tyler gets one and then Aaron gets one. Not gonna lie, I peed a little when that happened.

And of course, can't wait to hear the finished product of their upcoming EP. Which, I've been told, is shaping up really well.

If you missed this one, don't worry, you'll make it to the next one!

Looking forward to the future.

Newbie mistake, Rosalie forgot her camera. If you took any pictures with yours, send 'em my way!

VIDEO:
No video. The video we received was pretty crappy. Oh well.




P.S. Have you heard Just Coincidence (rough cut) yet?!? If not, check it out! The boys are open to constructive criticism that you can leave for them on their myspace blog.

P.P.S. Vote on flashrock. Duh.


WELL!? If you were there, what did you think?
Let the boys know directly on the myspace.
