Austin Rodeo

Check Check 1,2 . .

What's going on everyone out there in Shinedown land!?! ZM coming at you here on the bus from New Orleans where we just had an amazing 2 days off filled with lots of Southern food, Beer, and I'm sure a Hand Grenade or 2 thrown in there. We're headed to Austin to play the Austin Rodeo which I believe is our 1st rodeo ever. . . *Survey says?* YES , In fact it is. Anyway, we hope you have all been doing well out there while we were "Living in the Land Down Under" as the Esteemed Colin Haye & Men At Work would say. 1 question . . Did you miss us? . Well we missed you as well! We had a total blast in Australia as well as Hawaii! We'd like to take this time to give our EXTENDED thank you to Warner Australia and the whole Warner team over there in OZ for making our first visit so memorable and we can't wait to get back; it is truly a breathtaking place as was Hawaii.

But, enough about that, we're now back in our homeland and ready to rock a little bit more stateside! We're starting out this leg with about 2 weeks of headlining dates with Automatic Fire & Sore Eyes. Then we start the 2010 leg of the "Dark Horse" tour with Nickelback- we are very excited about seeing them blow up EVERYTHING and set EVERYTHING on fire. Also as you may know in the middle of that we will be attending the "Vh1 Best Cruise Ever" With our friends in 3 Doors Down, Lifehouse , Black Stone Cherry and MANY more. On another note. . Sometime in the next week or so we will be announcing a HUGE! HUGE! HUGE! Summer Headlining tour . . . and I mean HUGE! We can't wait for you to hear about it!!!

In the meantime check out the site, The Tweets, the Myspace, The Facebooks... and any other Social Networking site they will probably create by the time you awake in the morning. And last but not least. . I know I'm a sap and I say this a lot, but Thank you to ALL of you for ALL of your support with this record, we know we have been touring it for going on the 3rd year now, but that's only because you guys won't let us get away from you . . and we truly from the bottom of all 4 of our hearts appreciate that. . . So thank you again for all your love and support . You guys are our WORLD!

Thanks and see you soon
