Hi everyone,

Quite a bit of good stuff going on. I'll give you the low-down so you're up to snuff on everything. :)

Skeleton Crew: The band has really been doing well and playing at least once per month like we had hoped. Check us out for our schedule as well as videos and audio files at www.facebook.com/skeletoncrewnj

Please keep in mind that I do not have a facebook account and will not be able to respond to your questions or comments. My bassist, Kevin Mercer runs the FB site. Our next gig is in Delaware on April 30th where we will headline a place called "The Cube" doing an 80 minute Van Halen show. Show time is 11pm for us....but there are several bands playing through out the day. It should be a killer time, so try and catch us!

Danny Danzi Band: I don't know if there will be a Danny Danzi band, but right now I'm writing the most intense music I've ever written with Joey and Guy DeFalco. I'm talking stuff that is going to blow your head off...seriously. I never thought I could top DanziLand and to be honest, after that album I really didn't have the desire to. But let me tell you guys, you're in for one heck of a ride here when we get this done. We have about 20 songs to choose from right now and have 3 complete. As soon as I get a bit further along, I'll post some sample clips for you to check out. I pretty much describe the sound as a cross between Led Zep, Whitesnake and a commercial sounding Dream Theater. I'm also in talks with a few killer labels that are interested in the new stuff. So when this thing gets done, I'm hoping we can get out there and play this material. It would be the death of me to write stuff like this and never play it out live. So I'm going to do all that I can to see that another Danny D Band is put together for this.

Mixing, Mastering, Audio Services, Video and Consultations: This is really taking off and allowing me to meet and work with some incredible human beings and musicians. I've also got a lot of work to where I play on the stuff I am mixing and mastering. This makes things so much more enjoyable, it's unreal! So if any of you are looking for any pro audio work of any kind, send me a message and we'll talk more. There's a few artists I'm working with right now that are in need of praise. I'll do some bragging for them and post up a few sample clips of our work when things are all done.

That about does it for this update. I'll be in touch with you guys soon and hope everyone is doing well. Much love!

Danny Danzi

Wow, so much to tell, so little time. Here it is in brief, but if you want the lowdown in full, it's best you visit my forum at http://www.dannydanzi.com/bb/index.php for the in depth juicy stuff. :) Ok, first off let's take care of some old news that needs to be corrected.

Skeleton Crew News: The last we spoke, my cover band Skeleton Crew was trying to get itself together. The current line-up is:

Marc Moore: Lead Vocals

Danny Danzi: Lead/Rhythm Guitar

Kevin Mercer: Bass Guitar

Mikey Bovera: Drums

We are finally playing out and have a little demo you can download if you'd like to hear the material. I've included a "still shot" video of one of the songs so you can see what we look like and how things were at one of our shows. I do have full video of it, but you know how bad the audio turns out in those, so I figured some pictures along with the audio demo I recorded might be a better representation. You can download it here:

If you have a Facebook page, make sure you visit us and add us at www.facebook.com/skeletoncrewnj and you'll be up to date with what we're up to. I don't have a facebook page, so you won't be able to contact me. Kevin, our bassist runs that S-Crew FB page, but I do check it out from time to time to see the messages people leave.

Tommy Lee Project News: Next, remember the Tommy Lee project that I was working on that I promised you I'd let you hear? Well, I finally got around to getting that together as well. I'll spare you the in depth details on that in this brief, but if you want to know the full scoop on that, visit my message forum in the "News section" and you can see how it all transpired as well as what the final outcome was. I've included the 4 tunes and a text file with some production notes in the zip for you. You can download it here:

Danny Danzi New Album News: Now onto the original music news! So far, myself and the DeFalco brothers have written about 14 tunes for the new album. We're so excited we're having a hard time not letting any material out. We kinda let one song slip out that shouldn't have, but it was only slipped to a few trust-worthy people in our lives as well as 2 radio stations that played the song one time. You had to listen to the interview to hear it, sorry! Hahaha! The song went over very well and was received way better than we thought it would. We've been in negotiations with 3 record labels presently, and will probably sign a deal by the end of the holidays if all goes well. I'll try to keep you posted on that as it all transpires.

"Where the heck have you been Danny?" News:  Good question...when *I* find me, I'll let you all know. LOL! Well, the production end of things has really picked up. Like to the point of insanity. I lost my main recording pc a few months ago, and that really messed me up. I only lost one important file that wasn't super important, but everything else (because I'm a back-up pack-rat) was saved. But once the new system got here, the work was just unbearable. As a matter of fact, I'm STILL trying to catch up from it and then new projects came in as well...so, yeah, total nightmare. I do welcome the work though, so it's a good thing. In this economy, you gotta grab it when it comes your way because you never know what the heck will happen from day to day. So the production end (mixing, mastering, producing, video editing and video recording lessons etc) has really kept me busy. It's funny, a girl I dated years ago...her mom was psychic...so they claimed. I never much believed in any of that stuff. She told me "you wait Danny, in a few years, you'll be more on the production end of the business than the playing part."

I can still remember the feeling I got when she said that to me. It bothered me because it really wasn't where I wanted to end up. I laughed at her and said "it will never happen". She said "you mark my words...it so WILL happen." Sure enough, 10 years later...it's exactly as she said. However, it's only like that because it's been my choice. I figure, some day I'm not gonna look so hott in my lil rockstar outfit with my lil booties...if or when that ends, I'm going to have to work doing *something* right? It might as well be something I enjoy that I'm pretty decent at. But first and foremost, I need to perform and write songs. That's my passion and it will always be my passion. It's nice to get into the production side though because now I'm at the point where I don't need to rely on anyone for anything, and let me tell you, that in itself is a great feeling!

Anyway, sorry I've been out of touch and I hope this message finds you all well. You guys got my webmaster K.C. Jones to thank for this update...he yelled at me for not posting in over a year! And my bud Lee was yellin' at me on my forum to come out and play! So I figured, before everyone starts ganging up on me, I better say a little something! Hahaha! Well, until next time, thanks for your friendship and support!

Much Love,

Danny Danzi
