203. You know what, TeeYiYi? Because of YOU and other folks here who are being

Mon May 18, 2015, 06:33 PM

May 2015

so supportive and dedicated - ACIDIC has stayed in the Top Ten for another week (THIRD one now!) and our video is getting more views as a result. That gives us talking points for local radio and venues where we want to book the band, and even promoting sales of the album and downloads of the single. ALL OF THAT helps.

We're this little DIY indie band that doesn't have a record label and doesn't have the financial clout of some of those other bigger bands in this competition. Halestorm, Papa Roach, Slash, Tom Keifer (was lead singer for Cinderella), The Darkness, Godsmack, and Three Days Grace - they all have promotional and industry machinery and major funding and investors behind them. We do not. So it's YOU GUYS who have our back and and have such faith in us - THAT is what is keeping us in the fight! And I think that's pretty damn impressive! We couldn't compete in their league - AT ALL, if it weren't for people like you guys.

Yet another reason why I LOVE DU!!!

THANK YOU!

Love you, TeeYiYi!!!
