Hey, you're going out to NYC for PvD @ Summerstage? We might have to party out there and then back in Chitown for Tiesto

I was the dude in the Hustler shirt... We'll have to get updated photos up here soon.

Getting to know your local CTAs


Still Exhausted... but a good show nonetheless.

highlight of the night for me was hearing Luke Chable presents Quest - The Shepherd

other than hitting some insanely scary thunderstorm on my way down from Milwaukee, i had an awesome time. the music was great, the crowd was good, and Omi sounded really great live.

edit // oh yea, Synergy - Hello Strings made my night too. i was so off in my own little world.

That must have been the Sasha tune. Now that I listen to Luke Chable's tune I can see the similarities compared to Sasha's newest work.

And, by the way...I think I have meet one of you actually...

Tymeblind, send me a personal message or IM me, please.

So there wasn't much of a turnout? That may have been good for those in the club who enjoyed the breathing room but it's worrisome in regards to WOW's commercial viability. They need to sell some CD's so they can keep serving us up with new music and future gigs! I guess you have to be a DJ demi-'god' (Tiesto ) to catch most ppl's attention.

WoW isn't really known here at all... I finally picked up there last cd when I was in england over new years. Wasn't much of a turnout? I'd rather say it was an intimate evening. I actually liked it a lot...
everything has it's place, and quite frankly a Way out West PA was better this way.

Well, glad you had a good time...the case of not being known seems not to be endemic to any specific area. I guess they're not seen as being credible on a large-scale like the Sashas, PVDs and Tiestos of this world. I'll just pin that on my pessimism and perhaps the label's/management's poor marketing efforts (and maybe corporate radio in America and abroad). "Mindcircus" from a few years ago should've easily hit most dance radio stations across the country, thus increasing notoriety and demand outside the few and the proud, but that didn't seem to be the case.

I've also been hearing a recurring complaint that their current show is too "chill" and laidback, so maybe they're performing in the wrong type of venue? (I honestly can't think of a better venue for their specific setup right now...they may need to add a few more pieces to their show to beef up the excitement, though). On the other hand, these people complaining could just be impatient and are missing the nuances of their music.

I'll see them in Houston this coming Friday to judge for myself, but being such a hardcore fan, I'm sure I'll find a way to enjoy it.

I'll quit rambling now with my pondering disillusionment. Thanks for reading.

VH.

PS. Where are the pix from the night?

I LOVED that tune the first time I heard it in Tiesto's set @ Space a couple years ago. I went out and bought it, but always felt it was a bit of a bitch to mix, the way I used to bring things in.

Now that my style has changed a bit since then, I think that I'm going to have to force the issue and get it on the air on the local dance mix show that I'm on frequently. We'll see what happens.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Peer pressure is still a bitch, but I had a great time. And I still made it to Vision around 2am. Much thanks Marv for driving my car.

OMI was definitely a highlight for me. I agree that she has a great voice.

Good to see Tom and Nick again but didn't see anybody else. Maybe another time.

I think I'm taking a break until the Picotto/Marco V weekend. Gotta save some $$$ for SummerStage.

UWM, thanx, who do you post as?

Maytag, everyone's efforts help to further the cause in some way. "Stealth" is another good pick for the radio along with several cuts from the new album. Of course, if you're talking about a mixshow, almost any of their material is applicable.

I post under uwmadtrance, my old old screen name. I normally just lurk and read through threads but I posted a bit during Sasha's EM. Maybe I'll come out of the shadows and post there more often

Has anyone found out when Way Out West's new CD will be released in the US?

taken from their site:

Many developments have transpired since the last update three months ago. Not only has a preliminary release date (UK - 12 July, 2004; US - TBA) and title for album #3 ('Don't Look Now') been announced, but so have some of the details of the release, including the fact that it will be a 3-disc affair, including the album itself, a DVD featuring live PA footage with additional easter eggs, and a mixed CD!

tried searching but couldn't find a US release date. 2 CDs + DVD. wooooo.

It's so hard to pin-point US release dates. What's the deal?

Because I don't think Nettwerk is interested in WOW anymore, as they're happy as punch to milk BT & Tiesto. I'm guessing the US release date will come a month later...if there even is one.

UWM, I'll look out for you on GU and hold you to that posting promise (or good intention) if I remember!

vinnie97 if you haven't already, check your PMs.
