Well if your here you can see the site has be redesigned (again).
Feedback from the "Music" - 3 Lost Singles - "Death of a Country" CD is coming in and everyone seems to love Death of a Country . It was recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami, produced and engineered by Ron and Howie Albert. The theme tune of the "concept album" Death of a Country was recorded in one take (it's 10 min.) and like the rest of the album has very few overdubs. It's basically 3 piece HEAVYmetal ,with a lot of phasing and panning. This is a real sit in the corner stoned, headphone tune. Hey! that's what we did back then.... "Music Shot From Guns" .
"Music" and the 3 Lost Singles is loaded with great BANGtunes like "Glad Your Home" about the returning POW's ("We've been to the moon, felt it's dust in our hands; but what's that to you if you can't understand"!), "Make Me Pretty"

Good news, a working band is being put together. Besides Frank and Frankie we have a incredible drummer in Greg Di Sabatino. Greg worked with the Franks a few years back and is now officially BANG's drummer. He brings high energy and great stick work to the band. We are now looking for a guitar and keyboard player to round out the group. We hope to be giging in the next few months. Tony will continue to write lyrics and look after BANGmusic.com

album was just mastered and will be shipped next week. RTZ "Return to Zero" has fallen behind. We seem to be passing through another portal. This to shall pass! Things are still slowly converging. We're still looking for the golden ring. Thank you for the e-mail and messages.

Finally we're shipping the first CD "BANG - Mother/Bow to the King". Also it's been decided to release the Death of a Country & Music albums on one CD instead of two. The process takes a lot longer then we planed so there will be a few weeks delay.

Tony's back from Delaware and the Frank's, with 3 more tunes mixed. "Be the One" "Another Time" and in case anyone's counting, we added a tune called "Here I Go" for the RTZ album. That's 11 with four to go. The June 15 shipping date still looks realistic for now. Had to re-master the first note of the first song (Lions/Christians) on our first CD release "BANG - Mother/Bow to the King" cause the beginning guitar note got clipped just a hair and of course Frankie heard it and there it is! Shipping was pushed back a week. Other then that we're fairly happy with the CD . Sounds like the albums. As soon as we can, we will have streaming audio on all songs. Anybody know how to get "outstanding" 28k stereo realaudio files? E-mail tunes@BANGmusic.com . We have one super 8 film of BANG with Steppen Wolf in Richmond. Also have the audio track on cassette Coming soon a clip from BANGthemovie!

Finally things seem to be moving.
The BANGstore is open ! Now you can order the CD's. The BANGboard is open, so you can leave you BANGthoughts. We're working on shopping carts and other stuff. But enough tech stuff. Here's the BANGnews...Tony's heading up north to help mix another tune for the RTZ CD. (to be released in June) Frank is overcoming his zero knowledge of computers and waiting on Tony to lead him to the promise land of the Net. Frankie is going digital at his "Shoe Box" studio. There's an air of excitement around us. When the three of us get together time stands still. Again our lives are focused on making something happen. We can't give it our total being but were doing the best we can. Thank you for all the friendly e-mail , telling us where our history with you started, and what your doing now. Hopefully the BANGstory will tell our side.

Everything takes so long when it can't be your total focus. RTZ is finishing up.
A working band is being put together by Frank and Frankie. We may have a part in a movie soundtrack and some established act's are interested in covering a few of our new tunes. We are weeks! away of releasing both the "BANG" and "Mother/Bow to the King" albums on one CD. We're thinking of charging 20 bucks + postage. Should we go for $25?

Frank finally got a Mac and is plugging in. Frankie is going digital in his "Shoebox Studio".
