We would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR and let you know what to expect from us in this upcoming year! There will be a new album out. We were hoping to be done with it by now, but it seems like we've hit one road block after another. We are now scheduling the studio time and getting the ball rolling, so keep your eyes open for it. We are extremely proud of and excited about this project, and hope it will exceed all of your expectations.

Keith McGeorge, a close friend of the band, is currently dealing with the tragic loss of his father Kenneth. To add to this difficult time, he cannot afford to give his father a proper burial. Anyone who would like to help can donate money to the Kenneth L. McGeorge Memorial Fund at any Fifth Third Bank. Remember, even the smallest donation can help and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

What's goin on everyone? We want to apologize for having to back out of The Boone County Bash, we've been looking forward to this show for so long. Last night Nick, our drummer, broke his ankle at a Hank III concert. Obviously this is keeping him from being able to play. Seeing as the show is in two days, there's not even enough time to find someone to fill in. We'll be sure to make it out to Charleston as soon as we can to put on one intense show for y'all. In the meantime, tear it the fuck up at The Bash! We wish we could.

What's up kids? This is Nick from DR, I'm back! I've been out of town for the last 10 months working. We've done what we could as far as playing shows. We played some out of town and I came home for a few. Now that i am back things are going to start being done a little differently as far as the number of shows we play and the releasing new music.
People(that would be you) aren't buying cds like they used to. I'm not upset buy this, times are just different. Today it's all about filling up your ipod with the latest mp3's. For me, I enjoy going through the entire albums. Looking at the artwork, hearing how the band arranged one song to glide into the next, and most of all not missing out on the kickass song that didn't make it big. I dont think that I have one album where the best song is the the one that everyone talks about.
As far as performing live goes, we'll most likely cut back. Maybe one show every three to four months. It will no longer be an option to see us play every other weekend. This way the shows will have better turn outs and be more of an event to attend.
Now to the releasing of some new music. We've been in the process of writing a new album that we have decided to release in pieces. We will post a new song every couple of months that will be available for purchase here at decadentroots.com. For those of you like me, don't worry, we will still release a full length album with additional material only available on that particular LP.
We will keep everyone posted on new things to come. Please keep an eye on www.myspace.com/decadentroots and befriend us. Also keep in touch with us here at www.decadentroots.com. All of our merchandise and music will only be available on this site in the online store, shirts and thongs will soon be available also! While you're here please take a moment to sign the guestbook and sign up for the mailing list for all of the latest updates. And please feel free to drop us a line with any of your questions or input. This is just as much your band as it is ours, we want to here from you!
Thanks for all of your support,
DR
