Life of Winter

Nov 25, 2008 by rmunoz in The Word, Uncategorized

“The dead of winter”, as they say, is only dead to those who forget we are made to be evergreen! 

US is not slowing down these days as we are getting ready for some big changes. After a record setting month for music and merchandise sales it looks like US’s new album, ANTHEM, is paving the way for a big new year.  

“Ya, but I hows about the next album?!” Yes I can read your mind. As of now the band is in between albums as their record company prepares for its next big move. This means the band is now exiting their current recording and rehearsal space they have been using for 3 years. Nyumba studio was a kitchen of sorts for the band to create the music for Anthem and many worship tunes the band has made popular over the years. 

SLAM records, the bands independently run record company, has its eye on a fixer upper just on the outside of Nashville. The new space will provide for US as well an opportunity to recruit a few of the band’s favorite artists and musicians into the this movement to change the world! Speaking of Anthem…

Anthem and band merchandise will be sold from our new band store on this site. 100% of proceeds go directly to mission efforts to serve the poor and underprivileged. The funds raised in the past several years have built literacy training centers in Africa, ran AIDS awareness programs, fed the poor, and numerous other charitable work.

I know a lot of you US fans are into helping the needy this dark world too. So keep spreading the word about it, and be a light where ever you are. The winter is the perfect time to be life when everything else is dying!

Coffee Attic

We had tons of friends show up to the coffee attic in Iowa Falls. It was a packed house! The band spent 2 hours playing acoustic versions of their music and sharing stories from our life. Afterwards we hung out with some people who came as far as 2 hours away. McDonalds is the only thing open in Iowa Falls after 11, so we treated everybody to some tasty Mc food and had a good time.

Breakaway Follow Up

Breakaway in Des Moines was an awesome time for the band! We made lots of new friends and got lots more Cd’s. We’d love to hear a comment from you if you were there. What’d you think of the music? How bout Gregg’s message? How about crowd surfing? Did anybody see that big purple hat someone threw on stage?
