A great show, unveiled a brand new song called "Stay". we were very excited, this was the first show we had done since our recording with C.R. Pendleton, so it was a learning experience testing out some new performance material, we were definitely a different band up there that night.

Good ol' Saratoga Winners. This was part of our SB/Jimmy Roman mini tour, i think it was the fifth show i cant remember. This was quite a funny night, and ill tell you why. We originally planned to do the show with all four of us wearing our dracula t-shirts. We found this cool shirt with a cartoon drawing of Dracula on it, it even had a chessy phrase: "Im your biggest fang." Needless to say we are nerds and bought 4 of them. The idea got scratched when we got yelled at by Brian and Kevins Parents. Oh, they just love us, God bless em. Blessed by Blood(formerly Isaiahs Prophecy) played that night too. It was a good show.

Ok, so another Winners instalment we did with Jim Roman. This one though had a pretty good turnout, disco lights and all. Finally we made amends with the sound guy who was a jerk to us the last time we did winners, but we made peace with him when he said he loved Jimmy Roman. All of Jimmy's friends are ours. His enemies are ours as well. Kidding. That was the night Josh challenged Isaiahs Prophecy to a guitar-tossing duel. Im not sure who won, i was at the merch table crying because they cancelled Aqua Teens. Nate Gillie was there too. I missed that guy

Our Cd release show for the SB/Jimmy Roman split. I will never forget that show, it was fantastic! Caffe Lena is a nice little spot for up close and intimate shows, and what better for a cd release show to be right there with the band up close and personal. All of our dearest friends and family and even fans weve previously never met came out to that show. Jimmy did phenomenal and warmed us up as we tore up that stage with a killer version of "While im still standing", and had the small caffe standing and gathering around when we unveiled "This was never meant to be about you" as a closer. Thanks to: Jimmy,Anne,Jeanne,Nate,Heather,Renee,Brian,Matt,Jenn,Fred,and everyone else besides close friends that came out.
P.S.About the Rodeo City Shirt: If God didnt want me wearing it so much, he wouldnt have made it rock so hard. -Peace

This was our last Northern Lights show opening for an awesome band called Time and Distance. It was nice, but the sound wasnt that great, i had a hard time hearing my vocals and Josh sounded like rushing wind to me, but this was all through our monitors. But Rock we did.The best part of the night was when Kev went to mcdonals afterwards and ordered a "Number 1 witha Bullet". Thank you to: Nick Social,Pete,Eye Ninety, and Greg.

A show we did with Blessed by Blood and Rebuilding Yesterday. Funny how the blond streak kept getting bigger and bigger.

BEST SHOW EVER!Our first show throughCapital Concert Promotions opening for Chasing Daybreak, this was the show that ultimately showcased our very best. We arrived to a very hot show and Joe had the worst toothache ever. We got there at around 2pm and showtime wasnt until 7. We talked to Brian Howe for awhile(who Joe had met a few weeks previously) and Brian was really excited to see us play, he had heard of us before. Joe was really worried his voice would give in he was really sick, but he held out. We were so shocked to see 150 kids come out, and our good friends Jimmy Roman with fiance Jeanne came as well! Jeanne brought us flowers and her and some little girls even did up a sign that said "We love Solidblue". Girls, that sign now hangs in our practice room. The kids were great, singing along to every song,jumping,screaming,moshing, and throwing their hands up. We couldnt have asked for a better turnout. And guess who was in the front row during all of this? Dunt Dunt Dunt, Our good friends BLESSED BY BLOOD! Wow, thanks again. And Ella? Shes always there, what a sweet girl. We love you Ella.
-peace

Zack Kenyon is a rock God. Former member of 11th Hour and now assistant Manager of Samuel's Coffeehouse. Thanks Zack for an awesome show. We'll admit, we were really surprised when we arrived. Wow, really surprised. This was by far the smallest venue weve played in years. Weve developed into a stage fanatic band that jumps and throws guitars over the last few so this was a place where we needed to tone down ALOT. But, we were always a very crafty band. We could pull off an awesome show if needed with less space. So we improvised, set up less equipment and moved a few tables. At first we were a bit dissapointed in the turnout, we opened with "circles" and it started getting really hot in there. After 10 minutes into the show, the place started getting packed and we just fed off it, pulling off a rocking show. We like what Jeff Brady said: "Any band that can jump with a guitar in this place is crazy."
Indeed. Thanks for the Free Coffee, Samuel's. The way to Solidblue's fatty arteries is with a nice warm cup of free coffee. You made us very happy.

This was our very first time ever playing Grace Fellowship, we can remember coming here to see bands like 11th Hour or Gravity's Angel play years ago. So needless to say its been kind of a goal to play here, and thanks to Jeanne Loupe, it became possible. We arrived and saw our thunderbolt logo displayed on the giant projector screen behind us, it felt cool, like we were official or something haha. Just kidding, but it did set the tone for an awesome show, we nearly played a 2 hour set with little or no mishaps. It was also a chace to rip out classics like "Sweet Rain" "It's You" and oddly enough, "Every Rose has its thorn" by Poison. Thanks to Jimmy Roman for the sound and to the nice kids that held our car keys for us.
