Subject: Mixing in LA!!!!!!!!!!!

Well let's see.....
I'm in La with Corey and Will mixing the acoustic EP! Well I'm listening to Jimbo mix and doing the typical (Sounds good man) musician thing. The songs really take a new life on acoustically. I'll give ya'll a little diary of some events that have happened so far out here in sunny CA! Well a bunch of nothing. Disturbed played last night at the House of Blues. Will and Corey saw the show. They said the show was good and really enjoyed the Blood Simple show. They're an amzing band if your into to heavy shity. Great guys. You know, LA just bothers me sometimes. It's expensive as hell and instaed of the passive laid back attitude it's incorperated an New York (I don't like you get out of here) vibe. But in New York I expect that and it fits but out here the weathers too nice to be pissed. I do enjoy it out here. I'm really excited to release this EP. It's playing in the background right now. Brett can just sing.. period. Very proud to be in the band with all these guys.
On the touring front, well we're gonna tour some. Expect alot of touring starting in late March or April. I can't say right now but the tour we're trying to jump on is gonna be great if it pans out. We're looking forward to getting back out there and test driving some new songs for ya'll. Yeah, I'm a redneck and still use the word (ya'll). Anyway, I'm gonna keep it short before I bore all of you. I hope it's not too late for that.
I love all YA"LL!!! Keeps it real and we look forward to seeing you.
HIGH KICK!!!!
Clintucky beotch!!!

Well Hello There!

Hey you guys and gals. I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would give you guys a shout. I just finished packing for our trip to Seattle. We have never been there so I am very excited. As a matter of fact I have only been there once personally with Creed, and I was locked in the venue the whole day. Needless to say, it will be nice to see the city this time. I hope our fans up in the great northwest will make it out. We are looking forward to meeting you guys.

As for the rest of you, I miss you all and hope you are doing well. We are stoked about our little holiday run. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Keep calling your stations and requesting Pieces. It is doing pretty well so help us kick it into high gear.

Well I guess that's it. If I don't see you all, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, etc... I love you guys and hope to see you very soon.

Brett Hestla

11.17.05 - OMG! The Willis Update: post from DND on Myspace

Hi. I know I never say anything on here, but I do check it out all the time, and its bad-ass to see all the cool stuff everyones sayin about our band. Thank you guys very much! So Corey says that I should tell everyone whats up, so I'm gonna start a new series called "Words of Willis"- an update feature brought to you by me. We're just finishing up an acoustic album thats gonna have an orchestra on it........its so cool. This may or may not take some people by suprise, but youve gotta here it. We tracked six songs that are on 12 year silence and two new tracks. I think everyones gonna love it. Its amazing that its done on acoustic guitars and drums, 5 guys singing and an orchestra......really simple and organic, and its very dark and still definately rocks!!! We did it because weve had some succes with doing acoustic performences at radio or in stores. We wanted people to have these versions of these songs because we really enjoy playing them like this and for some reason it makes the songs sound even creepier. It should be out around the 1st part of the new year, so watch for it. Also , we're playing in Atlanta on this friday at a cool new place called the Darkside.......come one, come all!!!! We've got some more dates in November and December so check the schedule and come see us! These shows are gonna rip for sure......last shows of the year so they gotta count!!!! We cant wait to get back out there and see everyone!

Peace and Big Ass Beats- Will

11.15.05 - New Message from Clint posted on the DND Forum Board: Studio update!!!

Hello ya'll!!
Well I'm sitting in the studio and I can hear Brett singing in the back. He's truly an amazing singer and to sit and listen to him and be in the same band is a honor. Everything sounds really good. Everyone's playing really well and we've laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. It's been fun to say the least. We gotta an English guy named Jimbo engineering and co producing it with us. He's really cool and knows he's stuff. Can't wait for you to hear it. We work about 16 hours a day but only have 5 days to track this. The songs take a whole different life on acousticly. The songs you haven't heard yet I think your gonna love. I love playing in this band.
I can't wait to do some shows and start working on some more of the next full length record. Everyone in the band is writing some bad ass stuff. It's gonna be a crazy new record. We have some things to express and vent on. We have some great experiences to pull from to inspire us. All of you have inspired us.
I've been staying with Troy at night and his wife and new born son Micheal have been so good to hang with. Troy and I listened to some old tapes that we made of rehearsals from years ago. We were like 15 years old taping band practices. We laughed till 5 in the morning listening one night. We have to post some of it so you can check it out. Just to give you an idea of what it's like, our band name was SATIN DAGGER!!! imagine delay and reverb!!!
Hope alls well with all of you!
Love you mama!!
Take care and see all of you soon.

11.08.05 - New Message from Corey posted on DND MySpace:

First I would like to thank everyone for their support from coming out to the shows and buying our CD 12 year silence. We hope to keep building our fan base and a better live show. There is so much more we are going to do coming up soon so I hope everyone is ready. We are going back in the studio to do an acoustic EP with a new song on it and working on ideas for a DVD. We are also going back out on tour from the 18th till x-mas and looking forward to seeing ya’ll then. Hopefully this EP will be released sometime in the beginning of the year. "Pieces" is starting at radio now so feel free to call your local radio station and request it. It is you who can truly make a huge differents when you call them. We know this from the push "Brother" had. We can’t thank ya’ll enough for calling and requesting that song it got us up to TOP 5. DarknewDay fans are the best no doubt. That’s the update for now check back soon we are going to be updating the blogs more often. See ya on the road!!!

11.02.05 - New Message from Clint posted on the DND Forum Board

Hello all!!
Well we've been off for a few days now and as most of you know Troys a daddy now. Crazy!! We grew up together and now he has a kid. I'm soo happy for him. Just wanted to let everyone know what was going on in DnD land. We're moving a few things around right now and trying to reschedule some dates we had to postpone. I'd like to thank everyone for understanding the importance of Troy being home for this and we will make up all the dates as promised. We're going to go into the studio on the 12th of Nov. to do an acoustic EP. It's gonna have some songs off of 12 year silence and a few new things. Our goal in this is to make this as organic and creepy as possible. We're gonna add a few different elements to the songs to give them a whole different feel.
But make no mistake, we've already started work on a new record and I'll just say it's going to define us as a band. We're gonna take our time and make sure it's everything it can be. That's why we're starting so early. There's alot up in the air as far as next year touring and releases but you'll be the first to know any developments. Hope you had a good Halloween and if we don't see you before the holidays have a great one. Thank you for you support and we'll see you soon.
Clint(Clintucky, Cleetus)

What's up everyone.
Just wanted to say hello and express how good it is to be home for a second. The tour with Seether and Crossfade was incredible as I said before and I already miss them. We're getting ready to step out on our own for awhile and do a small headline run. We're gonna hit some spots we've already been and a few new places. After the 3 week run we're doing in October we plan on taking another small break and doing a longer headline run, concentrating on some west coast stuff since we haven't played many dates over there. Looking forward to that for sure. Also we're putting together an awesome package for the November tour and if we get who I wanna get it's gonna be awesome.
We're releasing Pieces as the next single so again we could use your help on getting some request and stuff like that. You know what to do because you kick so much ass on Brother. We're already writing for the new record and all I'm gonna say is that if it comes out the way I thinks it's going to it will be the best record I've ever been involved with. We've had a chance to become a band and not just guys that wanted to work with one another. We've had a chance to play alot of shows together and any thing we feel that we can do better or expand on creatively we're gonna do it on the next record.
Until then we have alot of touring and work to do on 12 year silence. OHHHH the main reason I'm writing, we're gonna be filming the first few shows on the next run starting in Orlando and ending in Atlanta. We're getting footage for a Pieces video and some stuff we want to put up on the site so you guys can see how cool you look from our perspective.
Ya'll rock!!!
Clint, Cleetus or Clintucky. Either one you wanna use.
Ps love ya Mama Lowery
