Well now, a big thanks to Kynda and the whole Orlando crew who came down on Friday! And especially all you brave souls who stayed afterwards to party until the sun came up! It was a great time and we can't wait to have you guys back down here again. In other news, Tarpon Trees is getting a well-deserved break for the next few weeks. The next planned gig isn't until Independance Day, allowing all the guys to go on their respective vacations (lucky bastards!). The studio albums should be available by then, if all goes well. Hopefully, we'll have no more delays--because I just know each and every one of you is dying to own a copy of the completed CD!

The adventure into Orlando was a great success! We'd like to extend a huge thank you to everyone from Melbourne and Orlando who came out to the shows at Reilly's and the Orlando Fringe Festival! Despite rain, traffic, and Titusville cops, the whole excursion was a great time. Keep your eyes open, because it won't be long before the band is back in Orlando again. Don't forget, this Friday (May 30th) is another Tarpon Trees show at the Hustler, once again with our Orlando friends--Kynda!

Yes, it was a great night at the Hustler with Kynda this past Friday! A big thanks to all the Orlando crew who came all the way over for the show! And, low and behold, we've already scheduled another night of Kynda and Tarpon Trees for May 30th. All you fools who missed this past show (you know who you are!), you'll have your second chance to catch the groove next month! In other news, we're booked for the Fringe Festival in Orlando on Tuesday, May 20th. Don't miss that one! If all goes well, we'll be playing at Reily's in Orlando some time soon--keep your eyes peeled and your Tarpon Trees homepage bookmarked!

The show at the Hustler was awesome! Great turnout!!! We all had a great time. We have a lot of new material for all of you out there, so keep your ears open. We should be hitting the studio in mid-November (fingers crossed!)

Added a few gigs to the Gigs Page. Hope to see EVERYBODY at the Hustler on September 28th. For those 21 and up, the cost is $5 at the door. For those under 21, the door price is $7. It should be a really good time down on beachside!! We may be playing at a Drum Tribe festival out in Holopaw coming up soon, as well. Don't forget that the Jungle Bungle Music Festival is on Saturday, November 9th. Tarpon Trees will be playing there as well!

We have added 2 to our line-up. Jon Adams on Guitar and Gid Berkowitz on keys. Possible dates at the Hustler in late Sept, more info on that when time comes. Web Page got a face lift.

5/29/02

I figured i'd give a little update to our band situation. Joe is transfering to Temple so we lost our rythm guitar player. Lindsey is also transfering to UCF so pictures might become scarce. We are sorry to lose two very good friends, you guys will be missed in these parts. In better news, Jon Adams from Jungle Jam said he'd jam with us so hopefully that will workout well. We look forward to seeing everyone in the fall.

Freaker's Ball went well, it's always a good time playing for SQUAMISH. I finally posted the pictures from Poor Man's Mardi Gras so be sure to check them out.

Chumley's went well, we'll probably be playing there every Thursday for open mic night, please come hangout with us and show you're support. The more people that come the better.

3/14/02

We're going to be playing at Chumley's Bar tonight for open mic night so stop by.

Thanks to everyone that came out and saw us at Poor Man's last night. It was a fun show so if you missed it keep checking back for updates on when we'll be playing again. As soon as I get pictures i'll post them for you all to see. Thanks for your support.

2/12/02

Well, it looks like we're getting some gigs lined up. As of right now we should be playing Poor Man's Mardi Gras on 2/22/02, Coral Bay on 4/12/02, and the Rites of Spring Festival at FIT in April also. As soon as I get motivated i'll make a gigs page but I just thought i'd let everyone know. I've also gotten a few requests to put more songs up so that should be happening soon.

1/14/02

I'm back at school now so the sooner I teach myself more cool tricks, i'll add them to the website. I posted one song as a test so give it a try but I might take it down until we can get some good recordings to post.

Sorry everyone, the email has been fixed, I had the wrong address in there.
