Freaks Arise is Still Alive!
Although we've taken some time off from shows, we haven't stopped working. We've been spending the last two months working hard on recording our 3rd CD, writing new songs, getting our NEW GUITARIST up to speed (and writing), and some other really exciting things. We'll be back out next month with the show you've been hearing us cry about and you should have been getting!

Freaks Arise partners with Speakeasy to make one more hot spot!
There's nothing worse then being asked to play a club then arriving to find no sound man and with luck a pa system one step above a toy. Believe me, we don't wast our time going back - it's obvious that club doesn't really want to have bands play in their establishment. One club that we were prepared not to play decided that they are a club for live local music and they care about their business and the bands that play: The Speakeasy Cafe in Upper Darby, PA.

Rich from Freaks Arise recieved a phone call from the new booking agent Salina. He informed her of the many things that he would do to make the place better from asthetically creating an atmosphere to getting a real sound system. The club was so pleased with the recommendations that their confidence in Rich evolved into letting Rich handle the club's upgrade by purchasing new equipment,installing and configuring until it was a place worthy of being played.

By the overwhelming and recurring response of the bands, fans, and ourselves - I think we did it. Rich and his long time producer and owner of Vicious Recording Rob Gandy led the upgrade. The first two nights they also ran sound for five bands and it was a real powerhouse rock show. The club will continue to utilize Rich and Rob until they find a permanent in-house soundman that knows his craft.

Check it out. It's a killer place now - but it's still getting better. As more funds come through, more equipment will be added.

New Music, New Site!!
Well all of our shows have been going great. The three piece thing has man more rewards then imagined. One thing is that a lot of time it sounds heavier then a four piece. There are less gtrs in the same frequency range so we do not cancel or mudd eachother out. We can also be more dynamic and organic.

The crowd and club was GREAT at The Pirate's Den!!! I never saw so many people dancing and moving to the music. Maybe they weren't up front - but it sure was killer to see the whole place movin to all the new and old tunes.

We just recorded the click tracks for 11 new songs and are working on finishing them asap. Also a new site design is done and looks cool as shit. This should be up soon.

Thanks to everyone for keeping us alive and making us feel good about trying to move you with our tunes.

HOLY SHIT WE ARE PLAYING!!
I'm flying here trying to get ready for tonight's show and just wanted to thank everyone ahead of time for coming out. We are performing as a three piece - SCARY!! Weird though, with the three piece, we play even louder and there's more dynamics. I just can't break any strings.

We want to thank ENUOM and all the guys over at http://www.beneaththesurface.net/ with deepest appreciation for remembering us and keeping after us since we last played. They hooked us up with all of our shows this month and I'm sure we will join forces to finally make a dent in this part of the country.

NEW SONGS KICK ASS!!
Ya know the first albums were not made to win every single song as a radio hit. There were several hits but then there were also deeper twisted songs not ready for radio (thank god) but ready for respect and big concerts. Well with our new material I think we found a way to keep the depth yet each song can be a radio hit. The diversity is still there and so is the edge. One thing new is the sophistication from another year of writing and studying many types of music. I learned from the great Jimmy Page baby!! We're working hard on completing the new album and will release some sessions soon on this site. We are so freakin excited to play these songs for you. They will not only move you but make you shake your head thinking - DAMNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

GUESS WHAT ELSE?? WE HAVE A NEW BASS PLAYER!!
Our new member has quickly become part of the family and is the tightest fit to date. Evan Hersch jams the shit out of his guitar and feels every note. Watching him groove around at rehearsal makes me very anxious to stomp the stage with him live...which is coming real soon again! He gets the best tone with a diversity that definetly is a perfect match for our varied sound. I'm sure you will all be as stoked as we are when you see him live and hear him on our newest LP.
See you all soon!!



8/24/03
Rich Wood and Dave Perry (Hinge frontman) has been working together on a possible supergroup. They've been trying a "back and forth" performance thing for all the Freaks Arise songs. They are also speaking about immediately performing each others music live by sharing eachothers' musicians on stage.

Dave actually performed with Rich, Ken and Tom a few years ago in a succesful coverband. Since then they support each other playing local shows with each other's bands.

"...Dave got us a show down Atlantic City , right on the boardwalk at the Trump Taj Mahal. I don't think they were ready for us. The music was crazy loud and hard while Dave was asked to never come back after they finally got him down from climbing on the 20 foot high sculptures. What a great show!!"
