Yes, it's been awhile... While on hiatus, our new drummer Matt decided he couldn't fit the band in to his schedule and has decided to leave us, and so, the search continues for a new drummer. Meanwhile we've continued on recording. A few of the unmixed songs can be found on our music page for you sampling pleasure. Check them out and we'll be back as soon as we find some new drums to take these songs out to you live!

We're sad to announce that Brian has decided to move on which left Whiskey Dust searching for a new drummer, but don't worry, the new drummer has been found in Matt Padgett. Matt's played drums on the San Jose circuit for years, he's a solid drummer and a perfect fit for Whiskey Dust. The website will be updated shortly with more info about Matt. Currently, the band is rehearsing with Matt and bringing him up to speed. The band will premiere the new line up at the Brittania Arms in downtown San Jose on June first. It will definitely be a rockin' show as the band is extremely anxious to get back on stage. So, check our calendar page for the details and be there. You won't want to miss it!

The Lake Tahoe shows and The show at the Fifth Quarter were fantastic! Echo of Souls are amazing guys to play with and both shows went off great! We're about to start recording some of the new songs that we've been working on, so watch out for a CD soon. What about Whiskey Dust live?!?! Well, it's a few months away, but we'll be opening for The Frank Hannon Band and Long Gone Bon at the Avalon on April 28th. Frank Hannon, in case you don't know, also plays guitar for the band Tesla. Don't miss it!!!

(Update, the Avalon show on the 28th has been postponed, stay tuned for a new date to be announced later.)

Tahoe was a blast!

Well the Eric Perez New Years Eve Bash didn't work out as planned. Sacramento suffered some heavy flooding that weekend and word was that a few freeways got flooded, so we couldn't make it up there. We hope that everyone is okay up in Sacramento and that everything is back to normal soon.

The Kings Head show went off great, we played the whole night, two full sets! It was great. This weekend, Jan. 6th and 7th, we'll be playing at Whiskey Dicks saloon in Lake Tahoe with our long time friends, Echo of Souls. What better way to spend the weekend then up at the snow with Whiskey Dust live!!!

Also, at the end of the month on Jan. 28th, we'll be at The Fifth Quarter in San Jose, Ca. Check the Calendar page for more info!

Dave, Jack, and Sean all went up to see the Eric Martin Band perform in the Alameda. Dave has been a long time Eric Martin fan and he somehow tricked Eric into letting him come on stage and sing during the finale song, Thirty Days in the Hole!

After the show, shmoozing ensued along with snapshots with Eric and John Nyman, the guitarist for Y&T who also got up to jam with Eric!

Dave was at The Frank Hannon Band's show at the Avalon last night. Frank Hannon is the lead guitarist of Tesla and he pulled Dave up on stage to lend his vocal chords during "Love Song". It was also Dave's birthday, what a killer birthday present... Dave had a great time, and the crowd went nuts.
