Caught In Suspension
please describe to me, how this makes you feel. do you ever feel like this? and by “this” what do you mean?
Luck of The Irish At Molly Malone’s
As all of you know thatwasthen recently rocked Molly Malone’s irish style pub/venue this past Saturday the 29th in West Hollywood. If you managed to make it out for the show then you should know that you managed to provide at least twice as many screaming fans as the next act. Great show, lots of fun and some revamped songs made their debut in their 45 minute set. Stay tuned to thatwasthenmusic.com for details on the next show.
Thanks Again for all the support that you as fans provide.
With Love

from my personal journal.
i’ve spent twelve long months
moving in the other direction
you could not have been clearer, but
i was never good at following instructions
i am a pioneer
the thoughts that trek my mind
they do not know of fear
like the blind leading the blind
how will anyone know
if I neglect to show
the world you turn?
i will promise you now
next season is the reason
for my existence
-
when push comes to shove
it’s you, i’m thinking of
because you last.
the present from my past
the writing on my cast

I was listening to one of my favorite bands, Travis and their beautiful song Walking Down The Hill and I felt inspired to share my personal poetry with you, with aspirations to one day see my music be as poignant and poetic as this song is.

Leave All Your Fears At The Door
And enter the rehearsal room of your grandmother’s favorite new band.
If you have been to a thatwasthen show, then you must have wondered what it takes to develop the songs, their lyrics and the sound of all your favorite songs. If so then you have entered into a state of mind called thatwasthentia. As I sit in a sound proofed room in a studio in sherman oaks, CA i cant help but notice just what it takes for the boys of thatwasthen to write, create, develop and perfect the next new song. i have seen first hand the process, the creativity and the drive for perfection that go into their music. i saw such songs as absolute zero, girl (you don’t have it), both to blame and mr. politician transform from just chord progressions and lyrics into full blown rock songs. what comes from these rehearsals is developing to the best of their great abilities the songs they write until they are as perfect as they believe they can be.
With so much training in musical theory, it’s no wonder that the guys can write, play and sing so well. But with so many new songs being performed it’s hard to believe just how these new songs go from ideas to 100% ready to perform so quickly.
At the next rehearsal we shall delve into some of the new songs, see the changes made. How old songs are changed and new songs are written.
Kindest Regards
