The Calendar
The Grand Finale was
Saturday, February 12th, 2005
@ The Stagger Inn in Bellflower
with Zen, S.m.F. and Above Richter
As much as I've archived everything about the band from flyers to lyrics to who did lights at every single show,
I've never put up on the site the weekly (when I kept it up) email I'd send out on upcoming shows to the email list that grew
in spurts over the years. Since this page no longer has a purpose, since the band is playing their final show, I thought
I'd retrofit an archive of the last several months of emails I sent, especially since I got overly creative with the last few.
July 23rd, 2004: Big Party Tomorrow!!
Everybody needs to be there for a party tomorrow,
Saturday, July 24th, starting @ NOON and going all night!!
This is a big finale for S.m.F. @ The Shop, their
long-time practice and party pad. They're moving out,
and want to let the landlords know just how much they
appreciate it. Booze, Barbecue, and Bands!!
Five bands, in fact, for a mere five bucks:
Xone @ 2:00
StoneBlue @ 4:00
JMF @ 6:00
Creepshow @ 7:30
S.m.F. @ 9:00
...or something like that!!
The Shop is in Bellflower, a few blocks south of Artesia
Blvd on Clark Ave @ the corner of Cedar, behind Sportsman's
Liquor. Really, people, how are you gonna miss a parking
lot full of drunks behind a building with a big bear
painted on the side?
Okay, so this email is late.... Sue me!
See you tomorrow!

Be there early, cuz Zen takes the stage at 8:00! They'll be featuring
newer material, as well as special guest Sarah Green debuting a
side-project called The Cynical Baby. You're gonna want to see this.
This will be the reboot of the S.m.F. juggernaut, debuting Mike McGarvey
on bass, and will be only the first of what will surely be a non-stop
onslaught on the local scene, in preparation for their conquest of the
rock-industry in general. You're really gonna want to see this!
When Turley first came to StoneBlue he was fresh out of high-school and
floored all of us with his powerful vocals and well-rounded musical
talents. We all knew from that first day that he would out-live this
band and go on to a long career blowing away arenas full of fans. Above
Richter is the next step on that journey, and you can be there from the
start. Here's hoping it's a long lived venture for him. You definitely
will want to see this!
...And
This is StoneBlue's Grand Finale! They'll be pulling out just about
every song you've ever heard them play, and hopefully some you haven't.
A Surprise Guest will be taking the stage that many of you in the
inner-circle already know about, but I ain't giving away the fun here.
They're practicing, they're pumped up, and they'll be giving you a final
show that will guarantee you'll miss them (I already do)! It goes without
saying that you want to see this!! You NEED to see this!!!
So there you have it: Three beginnings and one ending!
With that, I'll bid this mailing list a farewell. I've spent over four
years getting you folks all the latest info, so some of you may take this
is just the last annoying intrusion of your in-box. But for those of you
who understand why I'm getting emotional, send me a reply with your final
thoughts. I'll pass every last one directly on to the band, and I know I
speak for all of them when I say, thank you for you loyal support! It's
been a hell of a ride, and I hope you enjoyed it. But keep your arms and
legs inside the car until it comes to a complete stop!
See you Saturday!

P.S. For those of you who've been begging, yes, I will have a few CDs on
hand for sale. Including a few bonus tid-bits the boys don't even know about.
We'll also be recording the show live to my multi-track, so depending how well
that works out, you may one day be able to get your hands on a StoneBlue live
album! In fact, we possess some form of recording for at least ten other
shows, so maybe a boxed-set is in order!
Long Beach's best hard-rock!
