The Music Plays On

The boys have been making the joyful noise and getting very close to releasing set lists and then calendar dates of appearances. However, they are still welcoming contact from other musicians and work continues on putting together a show and the foundation for this website, www.Damokleez.com. This site is our link to you… our fans, musician friends, and industry contacts alike.
You should expect the site to undergo a visual redesign in the next month also. When the website was first put up in April, it was focused on information about the forming of Damokleez and putting a call out to fellow musicians. We are now at a time to move away from that and will shape the website for our fans and venue owners.
First and foremost, we want this site to be about the Rock n Roll music. Look forward to podcasts and MP3 downloads becoming available very soon. The demo CD for our media kit is currently in the process of being made. With video providing a visual connection to the Damokleez performances, we will be making those available also. You will be able to find detailed venue information linked to our calendar and you will be able to stay in touch with the inside track on the band, as well as get great extra bonuses, by subscribing to the Damokleez newsletter. Our initial gigs will be in various places around Northern AZ. Look for shows in Prescott, Sedona, Cottonwood, Flagstaff and other Arizona Verde Valley locations.
Sign up now on our site to get advanced registration information on events, discounts, and bonuses at the venues that we will be playing at.

So I guess the trick is to surround yourself with people who weren't looking to pull the pin. Read 3 Comments... >> What's in a Name? Friday, 17 April 2009 10:57 |
It was sometime around 2003. Bob and Bogart are sittin' around and shooting the breeze. They are going on about all these different things that are causing some problems with forming a band, and there is talk of how life is like a Greek tragedy. Bogart comments, "Man, sometimes I feel like I have the sword of Damocles hanging over my head." They both snapped to attention simultaneously and exclaimed, "That's the name of the band!" A little research is done on alternate spellings, accepted pronunciation, and Damokleez is born. We pronounce it: dam-uh-kleez. Of course,"Rock on the Edge" following naturally.

The Week Ahead, April 20 Monday, 20 April 2009 11:57 |
It's going to be a little bit more of a laid-back week, at least in terms of jamming. JD just got out of eye surgery this morning, and the doctors want him to take it easy until Saturday. However, work will be taking place on preparing the band practice room. And of course, setting all the Internet marketing into place continues to demand a lot of attention. Read 0 Comments... >> |
