this new year be a kickass one for you!This could be an attempt to steal your username and password.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address

sort of a budget for any of our projects, but the songwriting kept getting better and better.Its a real shame how we've been treated in this business.Hope everyone reading this will go out and buy the new CD, it really is our best.Actually we have 3 prior to this one if you count the acoustic CD.Gerhard will play me an idea of his and I will take it and come up with a melody and lyrics and we usually demo it and work on a final version.Do you write the songs first, or head into the studio and write?This last CD was cool to do because usually, in the past, Gerhard would have all the music recorded, and I had to fit my parts and melodies into his set format.This time we both worked more as a team and I could change some chords here and there, and we could edit parts so that if I felt I wanted a song to go in a certain direction, we would take it in that direction , instead of being restricted to what was already on tape.Now, you guys did the whole album yourselves.We are and have always been unsigned, we just are left to ourselves to make a CD and then license it to a willing company, We always take a loss.This time, we had to pay for all of the recording costs ourselves with our company and the sales of our other CD's.Now that the company is basically over, I am personally pretty far in debt from the BIG CD.Take us through how you recorded all the parts....Instead of running out the clock in a real studio, we purchased a digital recording system and set up a studio in my house, which consisted of a live room and the mixing suite, with tie lines running through the walls so that the band could rehearse the song and then stay in that room and we would just plug them into the recording gear and do the basic tracks live as a unit.This gave the CD a very tight, very cohesive sound, as the band was basically recording the rhythm tracks live.They almost always got it right on the first or second take.That was the most fun for me, coming up with cool background vocal parts and having the flexibility to lay down tons of layers.We tried a lot of new different ideas of both of ours, and a lot worked and some didn't so we would change it.Any guests on this album?Not this time, but still I do love Tony!We charged a lot on our credit card to finish the CD.By then we really loved the songs and wanted to finish it regardless of label support or lack of it.We truly love what we do, that's why its so hard on us when critics nit pick over a snare drum sound or something stupid like that.Love You
Once again, inspired by my Love for my wife (there's a lot of that on this CD!Elton John
That one is pretty obvious, when I was a kid I was more into music than anything else, and one of the first artists that I loved was Sir Elton.It works for anyone who is in that stage of their lives.How Many Nights
Wife song again, sorry.Let Me Out
This song is pure fantasy.Hopefully listeners can relate and know that even in the worst of times you can think back to some of the better times and get through it.Don't Spread Your Lies
This one is about all the crap and hateful people on the internet.That's the worst part of it, everyone can get their words read around the world, true or not, and sometimes no matter how ridiculous, other people will believe them.Yes, very much, I hate to think that it will be my last trip over, as a singer, but it probably will be.K, I love the people and I even love the food!Still serious about retirement then?For the rest of this and next year, I plan to do a lot more touring in the U.I'm sure people don't want you to...Danger Danger, I could only try and do my best with what I had to work with, but I didn't have to direction of a knowledgeable producer that comes with big budgets.Without it we wouldn't have gotten as far as we did, so in a way, it was a blessing in disguise, the critics taught us how to be tough and how to make better records along the way.What are Ted Poley's favorite 10 albums of all time?Sorry I went over the limit of 10!And I would ask them to visit my website www.Thank you all for a great ride.No other word, than EXCELLENT.Have you heard this album?Pichler CD has a fresh sound and is the best CD I have ever been a part of.I'd just like to add that I have a copy of the new album here and agree that it's Ted's best album since the debut Danger Danger album.MORE MELODICA GIGS:
