At last, my band has finished our demo.

We got into the studio two weeks ago, and recorded 6 songs.

I’m very happy with the results!!

If wants to hear them, I converted them to mp3 last night, and if you have 4.5mb free in your mailbox I can send you out the best song from them.

I dont have the know how to put them on a web page, so if any kind soul want to help, They will get credited on the first platinum selling album.

hell, we’ll probably call the album after them.

Yeah, I’d **love** to give 'em a listen! I’m always picking up new stuff every day…

[rick\_caffrey@stercomm.com](mailto:rick_caffrey@stercomm.com)

I have my band’s music _all over_ the internet.

As **Delta-9** suggested, [IUMA.com](http://IUMA.com) is a great site. As well as [MP3.com](http://MP3.com), however, I’m not sure of their financial future, but at least they’re still sending us free money! 😃 Also, try Napster. It’s a great way to gain that much-needed exposure!

Let me know if you join on [MP3.com](http://MP3.com). I can add you to a few stations.

the bands name is I am Spartacus.

I have been setting up a IUMA site and it should be ready soon. none of the songs follow the same genre, really.

BTW, if you like the guitar work, you would be interested to know that our guitarist is completely blind.

He rocks.

**Twist** - Wow…it must be a guitarist thing. If you’ve noticed my sig line “7 guys, 13 nipple”…our guitarist would be the Uni-nipple. Apparently it was due to a childhood bicycle accident. But apart from physical disabilities, guitarists are weird anyways.

Let your strummer know I said “Wow!” I’m muy impressed. 🙂

**Serendipity** - If you wanna hear a tune or two, I can email some to ya or you can go to [http://mp3.com/jerkwaterjive](http://mp3.com/jerkwaterjive)

A little warning, though…a couple of our tunes’ lyrics are a bit on the illicit side…but only for cynicism’s sake. 😃
