AMERICAN BANG: SKYNYRD CRUISE BLOG!

Hola!

Neil here. We just got off the ship in Miami from an amazing 4 days on the Lynyrd Skynyrd "Simple Man" Cruise!

We had a great time on the ship and enjoyed meeting so many cool people and bands. We got to play in the middle of the ocean while we were on our way from Key West to Mexico and then we got to play again while we were docked in Mexico. That was our first show playing outside of the USA.

We're flyin' home to Nashville tonite around 10.

Here's some Pictures from the Cruise!

AMERICAN BANG HOLIDAY BLOG 2007

Hello Hello!

Neil here. I hope everyone has been having a great december, spending time with your families and enjoying some down time.
We've been home about a week now and its been so good to be stationery for a few days.

We've had a very busy december and i just wanted to let everyone see a bit of what we've been up to....

We spent the first half of the month on tour with our good friends AUTOVAUGHN and LUNA HALO. We had a really fun tour of the midwest and really appreciate everyone that came out to check out the shows in the cold weather!
We weren't sure how touring in December would go, but we were pleasantly suprised.

We were home for a few days and had our photo shoot for our Full Length Album that is coming out in the Spring of 08'.
We took some pictures we wanted to share with ya....
check it out!


We towed our original band van over to our practice space and did some pics in and around it...


We added the name to the front grill :)


goofing around like we do


Jaren being photographed through the van window while i hold the door open....


In the van doing a little early morning drinkin'

Day two we towed the van out to a friends field for some more shots with the original BANG Van


We had a few people out filming the shoot both days for fun


We went down to the walking bridge downtown and did some shots at sunset on the second day






Neil and Jaren


Here's a few polaroids from the shoot






The last place we shot was over at Springwater....


It was nice to be able to just sit and drink some beers at the end of the day













THATS a wrap!

So Jaren and I are headed to LA for a week on the 2nd to finish up some of the mixes for the record and then we are meeting Kelby and Ben in Miami to hop on the Skynyrd cruise ship!

More updates soon!

Happy Holidays!

Happy New Year!

We're in Nashville, Where's the Party?!?!?!?!
