On the Unfortunate Death of Captain Invisible

Where do invisible people go when they die?

Sad news, my friends... I wish I didn't have to be the one to tell you this, but at around 9:35pm (CST), our dear friend and fellow rocker, Captain Invisible, had his wonderful invisible life torn from him when he was senselessly mown down by a stampeding invisible mariachi band just outside of a Starbucks in Temple, TX.

Captain Invisible, best known for his phat beats and no-nonsense demeanor, will be fondly remembered by all of his friends and invisible relatives as a caring, decent, stand-up sort of invisible guy. We will miss you, Captain... we will miss you.

But, while the Captian will always be a major part of all of the music we make, we would like to announce some exciting news:

WES IS BACK!!!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's official. The one, the only (at least to our knowledge and excluding any sort of wacked-out mutliple-universe theories) Weslee Taylor Copeland has returned to Three Nails Short. Shocked and saddened by the untimely death of Captain Invisible, Wes was finally persuaded to postpone his career as a professional magician, and come back to hit things for us. (And, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that he is now the only member of TNS with a full-time band-funded salary.)

So join with us in welcoming Wes back! Even though he may not have a really cool title like "Captain", and, it's true, doesn't have any sort of naval background to speak of... we're extremely excited to be making music with Wes again. Besides, we could always give him a cool nickname later. I vote for "the Sultan". All in favor? Three. All-opposed-there-are-none.

God is good. Music is coming.

Over and out,
Chris

A TNS Birthday Story

Jon had a birthday last week (Jan. 16th... send guitar picks =), so Will and I (Chris) headed out to Lauren's (Jon's wife) family's ranch for some jammin and riding of four wheelers.

We made a lot of progress on some new tunes, and we've also made a big decision. The next album will be titled...

"Four Wheelers Rock My Face Off!"

Okay, maybe not. At least don't sue me if it's something else. But let's just say that if Switchfoot is a band of surfers, you can stop wondering what we are.

Anyway, here are some pics for your random viewing pleasure.

Hill Country Bible Church Junior High Retreat - 10/06/06

So, a bit of gig review catch-up...

Unfortunately, CK couldn't make it to play drums for this retreat, so we had to rely on our old friend Captian Invisible (who has really quick hands... no offense, CK).

Daylight Wings

On dreams tonight
We’ll find our way
Back to the place that always held the light at bay
‘Til daylight wings
The ground away
With open arms, convince the sky to stay

No Real Reason for this Entry

This weekend was my first anniversary… good times.

We’ve got practice scheduled tomorrow night, and I’m much stoked.

So here’s a question: What's the difference between a well-rounded album and a schizophrenic one?

We’re sorting through songs for the album… I guess as long as it’s the same band on the whole record, it’ll have the same flavor through the whole thing. We’ll see what you guys think. As soon as we have a pretty decent rough cut or two, we’ll send ‘em your way.

Peace, word, things like that.
