Note from Andy:
Thanks to all you guys and gals who came out to the Dave Barnes CD release shows over the past couple weeks---they've been amazing. I'd have to say Chicago was one of my fav's.....
Looking forward to the next leg of Dave's tour....possibly in Texas? I'll keep you guys posted.
Also, all you trendy LA folks should come out to The Hotel Cafe this Friday (Feb 10--7pm--$8). It's an early show, so don't let traffic slow you down.....yeah right. See ya--ad

Andy Davis is the new featured artist on "Phusebox!" Phusebox.net is like an advanced Myspace. Like if MySpace had a younger brother than was better at everything than he was, it would be called Phusebox.net. Check it out!

So Texas has been fun--tonight was my last show of this Texas run....thanks to all you guys and gals who came out to the shows over the past couple weeks. I had a great time--hope you guys did, too. Thanks to all the people who donated food, places to stay, vehicles, pianos....thanks to my wheat grass support group (never ever try a shot of wheat grass....although your immune system will jump for joy, you will burp up the taste of yard for days.) After Rob (Blackledge) and I split up (not from dating...), I sometimes felt stranded and lonely, but thanks to a lot of new friends, the rest of my Texas tour was not scary anymore. In fact, it was exciting. I think the fans in Austin get the award for loudest singing...Waco fans get the award for best-dressed....Ft. Worth gets the award for people who drove the furthest....Denton took home 2 awards--one for best internet connection, and one for good sportsmanship (for coming out to my shows 2 nights in a row). And last, but not least, Houston (Tomball, Woodlands) gets the spirit award--for the best clapping and participation (not based on the precision of the clapping (thank goodness)--based on effort. Way to go.) (If you're from a city that did not get an award, please don't feel left out. On the next Texas tour, my producers may allow me to give out more awards, but this is all we had time for in our broadcast. Sorry....haha)
Ok, so go check out the comments board at www.myspace.com/andydavis and see if you recognize any of your Texas friends....leave some fun messages if you haven't already. Looking forward to the next trip to the Lone Star State....go Astros (unless you hate the Astros....)
See Ya!

So apparently some people don't believe me about writing all my songs in the Bahamas--it's very true--but you didn't let me finish. There's a section of my bedroom across the sea of dirty laundry that I like to call The Bahamas. I don't clean over there much, so there is some sand (into which I like to dig my toes, while drinking a fruity drink) and sometimes it helps me think of songs to be over there. So believe me when I tell you things, people. I'm not a bad man. Also, someone has brought it to my attention that another band this year put out a record called "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb." Although I think my "...Giant Bomb" has a better ring to it, I have decided to change the title of the record. I'll keep you posted on new ideas as they come. Farewell, friends.

Thursday, Sept 21, 2005

Hi friends. So just to give everyone an update, I've been working on a lot of new songs (this is andy by the way) for my upcoming record, which is tentatively titled, "How to Dismantle A Giant Bomb." I'm excited about it....there's something fresh in the title, yet still familiar for some reason. Andyway, so I've been writing a lot....I usually go down to the Bahamas for a month or so to write songs for a new record....I just think better with my toes in the sand, drink in my hand... but since the weather is not cooperating (shouldn't joke about that), I'm stuck here in my bedroom in Nashville being distracted by moths and new ways to arrange the plugs below my desk so they don't tangle in my feet. (SO frustrating).
Speaking of Nashville--don't forget about the show with Mat Kearney at Travecca University--I hear I'm going to do something really crazy....don't miss it!

Well, that's all for right now--hope to see you guys at the show--if you have comments or suggestions for my new record, send them to info@andydavisonline.com because I never check that one. Or go to myspace.com/andydavis and leave some nice comments. Regardless of what you think. later my children

Hello everyone--Andy here--just wanted to say hello since the website has been dormant for a little while....summer hibernation I guess. It was great seeing a bunch of you guys out at Matt Wertz's rep show here in Nashville. It was weird seeing Texas people, Chicago people, Louisiana.....good to see everybody in one place. Hopefully I'll be back in those places again this fall so you guys can save the gas money. Speaking of this fall, we're about to release a big list of the fall touring schedule, so check back in soon. I'll be doing a string of shows with Jon McLaughlin as well, so check out his site for a sneak peek. Well, that's all for now--more soon!!

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

Hey guys, Jamie here---I lost some files on my computer recently and if you've joined the email list or the street team in the past couple months, I might not have your information anymore.  Please write me an email at jamie@andydavisonline.com if you've signed up recently and I'll make sure we've got your info.  Thanks!

Hey guys--just wanted to drop a little note from the road. The last few shows have gone great--thanks to all you guys who made me feel welcome at my first shows in Chicago, Iowa City, Eastern IL, UK, and Pittsburgh. Speaking of Pittsburgh, here are some pics from the concert--hopefully the rest of the pics from this tour will be up soon.

Greetings and more excited greetings. I (Andy) just wanted to drop a note--I'm spending 3 days in Nashville before I head back out to join Matt Wertz and the boys on tour. Touring has been going great--I've been honing my skills as a bass player, and getting to play a few songs here and there. On this next leg of the tour I'll be doing some consistent full opening spots, so I'm pumped about that. If you are in the midwest or northeast, or have friends up there, get them to check out the SHOWS page and come on out.
Also, I'm pumped about the show at Belmont Curb Cafe this Thursday night--it will be a huge relief to be around friends and have a laid back show.
In unrelated news, I celebrated my 24th birthday this past Monday--I accept cash, gift certificates, and ninja turtles paraphernalia as gifts. These can be mailed to my business post office address, found on the top of my cd.

Saturday, March 19, 2005

Thanks to everybody who came out to the Exit/In show last night--it was exciting to see people "belly-up" on the front of the stage--and it was also fun switching it up a bit with Rob Blackledge on guitar and Mat on the perc stuff. Fun, fun, fun....Barnes rocked it with the full band...if you missed the show, ask your friends about it. They probably know. Stay tuned for more info on the Wertz opener/bassist tour--you heard it right--I'll be playing bass and sporadically opening for the stud himself. So I'll try to keep everyone posted on that stuff.

Why didn't anyone tell me I was still putting "2004" on the news entries? I thought I had some real friends out there....idiot!

Aloha--my skin is stinging a little as I write this because I just learned to surf in Waikiki, and didn't use as much sunscreen as I should've. Yes, you heard me--sunscreen. Actually I'm here in Honolulu with my roomate Chad to play at a college event for the University of Hawaii. The guys who were supposed to play this event had to cancel, so we made a few sacrifices and changed our schedule around so we could take their place. (for 8 days--we're really bending over backwards).
Anyway, in other news, Posters and Tshirts are like islands on the horizon!! (I guess that can mean a ton of different things--depends on how far away you are, what kind of boat you are in, what the weather is like....) But seriously, posters have been printed up, and tshirts are soon to follow. Click here to SEE THE POSTER.

So I'm on my way down to Texas. Sorry I've been MIA for the past month or so. Life has been hectic recently--waking up at 10AM, eating cereal, going back to sleep until 2pm (just kidding)(not really)(ok, just a couple times)(a week). Anyway, the good news is I'm going down to Tay-hass and have a busy schedule. If you are in TX and are near any of the shows, please come out! I'd love the company--ask me if I hve a place to crash yet--I thought it would be more appropriate to "wing it" on those lonesome Texas roads...I might pull off for a Cantina every now and then...maybe lay out with the coyotes one night...which reminds me, the greatest cowboy song I can think of right now comes from one of my all-time favorite movies, "The Three Amigos." See if this rings any bells:
"Blue Shadows on the trail/Soft wind blowing through the trees above/All of the doggies are in the corral/All of the work is done" picture rabbits and horses singing along, "Just close your eyes and sleep little pal/Dream of someone..." (little-known fact--written by Randy Newman!)
So anyway, if you're in TX, come to a show...if not, go rent Three Amigos. See ya

Greetings from Canada...I'm spending a few days up here at Whiistler with a big group of peeps from Gig Harbor (Seattle suburb). I'd have to say that my first trip out to the upper Northwest has been pretty action-packed. I've discovered that people in Seattle must be lying to everyone about it being the rainiest place on earth, just so they can have it to themselves. I think it only rained about 45 minutes during the 5 days I was there. It has definitely become one of my new favorite cities.
I Got to hang a little with old friends--the famous Dango has been playing drums for his band, Amber Pacific, on the Warped Tour this summer, and is now up in Seattle making their second record. If you had a Dango shirt in the past, you may want to know that he has cool hoodies now...
I also got to meet a few new friends, who, turns out, are amazing singer/songwriters--Shawn McDonald and Mat Kearney. Check out these guys' stuff--they're originally upper west-coasters, but they're starting to spread like crazy all over the place. And Shawn is also amazing at the Xbox. He saved my life a couple of times when the aliens were coming at me with a fire sword and all I had was a little stun gun. Thank you, Shawn.

Hallelujah. the CDS ARE HERE. After much toil and strife, even the loss of a life (Remember Willis), "Thinks of Her" Lp is NOW IN. Thank you guys SO MUCH for your patience. The cds will be available this Monday at the Exit/In show, or right now online.
By the way, I'm really pumped about the show, not only because I'm getting to play with the full band, but also because I'm getting to open for some great friends of mine--The Daylights (click to listen). If you haven't heard their stuff, I'm jealous of you--oh to go back to the very first time I laid ears on them...
Seriously, though, they are amazing rock and roll songwriters and really cool guys. I'm stoked to hear some of the new madness they've been spreading in the LA music scene. If you're in Nashville, DON'T MISS IT!!

NOTE FROM ANDY: It's election day, and I'll be honest: if I were running for the office of "President of getting cds out on time," I would not vote for myself. In fact, if I were the incumbent, I would impeach myself. Yes, the album was slated to hit the shelves last Wednesday. Yes, I got a great deal of preorders who were expecting the cd in their hands by now. And yes, I might have opened a secret bank account in Zurich where I deposited all the money and plan to vacation for a year or two. But that does not mean the cd is not on its way. (double negative) When I talked to the factory today, inquiring on their whereabouts, they proceeded to tell me a story that touched my heart.
A few nights ago, around midnight, a hamster named Willis stayed late to finish printing the last few copeis of Thinks Of Her. All alone in the factory, he sprinted inside his wheel, hour after grueling hour, stopping only for a quick bite of nugget, or a sip from the nozzle of the huge hanging water cooler. Trying so hard to meet the deadline, he kept that wheel spinning, producing booklet after booklet for my new album.
Willis ran so hard and so fast, the wheel began to take off. Gaining speed like a tropical storm headed for shore, he tried to keep up, but the yellow plastic beneath his feet whizzed at speeds the factory had never seen.
Willis collapsed.

His limp frame of fur and bones hit the inside of the wheel with a tiny thud, whirling him round and round till it spit him out--clean across the room, right into a pot of the stuff that makes posters shiny.
Managing to pull his weight out of the thick soup of lacquer, he fell flat on his back, glad to be alive. Unfortunately, as the air hit his greasy fur, it froze him like a statue--eyes wide open and little claws outspread.
The next morning the rest of the workers came in to find the body of their friend, stiffened by an actual rigor-mortis, laying breathless on a white sheet of blank poster paper.

Anyway, all that to say, the company took a few days off to grieve the loss of their most prized employee, who gave his life to meet a deadline. I don't tell you this story to make you sad, but to inspire you to cherish your very lives. And to cherish your cd whenever it comes out.
Remember Willis.

HEADLINES: Other than about 15, cd-only, slip cover editions, "Thinks Of Her" is officially OUT OF PRINT. So if you have a copy of the cd, put it in a vault somewhere and maybe you can sell it on ebay in 20 years for $10. Unless by then, cds have become obsolete, upon which it will be worthless.
All is not lost, however, because the songs of Thinks Of Her are being remixed and remastered, and will appear again on a full-length collection of Andy's Unplugged material. The album is scheduled to be released on October 12, 2004, and will also feature a few new BONUS TRACKS, including "Brown Eyes" and more. PRE-ORDERS are being accepted on the Album page of the site. BUY YOURS TODAY!!

NOTE FROM ANDY: To all you guys who came out to the Show at Rocketown, thanks for your support throughout one of the craziest nights we've had in a while. Amidst the fray of busting a kick drum head, and dealing with the distractions of a million other bands playing, you guys were singing your hearts out and making everyone feel like a big happy family (awwww). And especially to you guys who made a trek to be there...knoxville, kentucky, mississippi...(mississippi's not a town--i know)--to you, in the event of tragic death, i will donate my organs.
