Hey FRIENDS!!!

I know, it's been way too long!! Been such a busy year already, and the time is just flying by!! We hope you all are well, and we definitely miss playing live for you all.  We spent the last part of 2024 working in our new DYNAMIC DUO on guitar - Will Pierce and Joey Carter!!!! Neither of them really need an introduction is you have been around the local music scene at all! These guys are STELLAR.. both on their instruments, and in the recording studio… we are working hard on new tunes for the album, and we are at the stage where we record all of the demos, live with them for a bit, then decide which ones will be selected for this album.  Will and Joey are absolutely kicking ass in adjusting and bring in new ideas to the Terashain sound.  It's gonna be sooooo GOOD! We can't wait for you to hear it.  As soon as we are able to get the tunes professionally recorded, and get a CD/Downloadable album out, we will begin the live shows to promote the new album, and hopefully sell many copies.  That will require lots of live shows.  I believe we are leaning towards staying away from the Cover band songs for a while, and just playing showcase shows, opening for nationals, and really getting our original tunes out there.

We will do our best to keep you posted on the album progress, potential new shows, and all things TERASHAIN just as much as possible.

You all take care, be kind to each other, and keep in touch when you can!!

Have a GREAT summer!! We love ya…

Rog, Lance, Tim, Joey, and Will

Hello FRIENDS!!!!

Some exciting things going on in the Terashain world lately… we have just put the finishing touches on the video for our remake of the ballad “Next to You” featuring the AWESOME Mr. Eric Levy (keyboardist for Night Ranger) on piano!! Eric really knocked this out of the park, capturing exactly what we were looking for to change the tune up a bit.  “Originally, we just really wanted a tune that someone COULD play as the first dance at their wedding - a testament to love and devotion, never really thinking that someone WOULD have one of our tunes as a wedding song… We are thrilled to know that it has actually been in seven weddings that we are aware of, and we think that changing the tune up to have Eric's piano as the backdrop makes the song even MORE of a ballad”, says Roger Penton, vocalist for Terashain.  The video is a tribute to fatherhood, and to the special bond between fathers and their kids.  “We are hoping that fans and friends feel the message through the video and the song, as it was intended during the writing”, says Roger.

Terashain plans to release both the video and the single for download on Memorial Day, Monday, May 29th.  The single can be purchased and downloaded initially only from the band's website homepage (www.terashain.com). Future plans will see the song released on iTunes, Amazon, and other popular download sites.

“We really need to thank Eric Levy for knocking this out of the park.  Eric is the consummate professional on all things pertaining to keys, and he really understood what the song needed to make a great change overall.”

Please plan on watching the video release on YouTube on Memorial Day, and hopefully you will all be inspired to go to our site to purchase the tune!!  We really appreciate all of your support, and we hope you will enjoy the remake of NEXT TO YOU!!!!

Hello FRIENDS!!! We just wanted to drop in to let you know that we thank you all very much for coming out to the show at Cactus Jacks on Jan. 27th!! Was great to see you all!!! We are not actively booking shows at the moment because we are actively writing songs for the next Terashain record, and it's going great! We hope you like the direction the band is going with the new stuff.  If a great show opportunity falls in our laps, however, we will certainly book it, and you will hear about it right here at www.terashain.com first!!!! Thanks again for your support, and keep in touch via this site or our Facebook page! I've just added some new choices to the SHOP page, related to being able to order downloads of all of the TERASHAIN CD's, so check that out when you can! We love ya.

Hey FRIENDS!!

I just wanted to share some cool news with you about MY favorite drummer, Tim Acedo!  Tim used to be in a popular called LVI (Loud Verbal Insanity), and he recently got some cool news about a project on the horizon for LVI... Here is the official press release:

"TRASHBACK RECORDS is pleased to announce that we've struck a deal with Mesa, Arizona Thrashers L.V.I. (LOUD VERBAL INSANITY) to issue their 1991 demo "MENTALLY EMBALMED" on limited edition CD.

The music of L.V.I. is for those who thrash at the altar of Dark Angel, Devastation, The Horde of Torment, Papsmear, etc...  Brutally devastating while catchy riffage abounds.

Mastering will be handled by Rob Colwell at Bombworks Sound and new artwork to be done by SIDJIMBE ART STUDIO. Full details, as well as a visualizer, will be coming in the next several weeks."

I will try to get as many details about this upcoming release from Tim as they become available. Pic of L.V.I. featured below... Look at all that hair!! Ahhh, those were the days!! Please help us congratulate Tim on this amazing feat! And THANK you all for supporting ARIZONA music!!

CONGRATS, TIM!!!!

Hello Friends!!!  

We recently got the opportunity to work with Eric Levy, keyboarding from Night Ranger, on a new version of "Next to You" from the Dawns Early Life CD... Eric has recorded a piano version of the song for us, and it really changes the feel of the song.  We cannot wait for you to hear this new version! The song is finished, but we are working an a video to coincide with the release of the song.  You will be able to download the song here on the website, and also at iTunes and Amazon.com when we do release it.  We have also worked the song into a killer power ballad to go into the Terashain live set, so watch for that at the next show on April 1st at Kimmyz!  Things are going great, and we hope to see you all at a show real soon.  

Have a GREAT week, and stay tunes!!
