August Update
Well, clearly I haven’t been much good at keeping ya’ll updated. I suppose it’s because we’ve been quite busy. We’ve played quite a few shows over the past couple of months and finally are getting a chance to catch our breath.
No doubt the biggest event was placing second at the Ultimate Music Challenge at the Viejas DreamCatcher Lounge. The prize was $8,000 which is tad bit more than we’d make at any other gig. The competition was really amazing and the DreamCatcher was at maximum capacity on the night of the finals. Hats off to Rolling the Stones who placed first and took home $20,000!

May Update
Last weekend was more good times at the “Ho” (Second Wind Navajo). It was a small crowd on Friday, but we cut loose and had a blast. I guess everyone was resting up for Saturday as it was pretty packed all night. Our friends Leon and Mike were celebrating their birthday. Also Tony and Alli recently got engaged, so congratulations to you two kids. Spike from Children of the Grave made an appearance and played a couple of Black Sabbath songs on bass.
On 4/27/09 we competed in the Ultimate Music Challenge at Viejas. For a listing of the bands check out this page of our blog or www.ultimatemusicchallenge.com. We were fortunate enough to advance to the semi final round thanks to the great fan support. I never got the judges scores, but I have heard it was very close and fans probably were the deciding factor, so THANK YOU! For a review of the performance head over to the UMC blog at http://ultimatemusicchallenge3.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/week-2-april-26/ . Lots of people chime in with comments and it’s good reading.

The Ultimate Music Challenge
Ultimate Music Challenge
On June 15th, 2008 Monsters of Rock performed at the Dreamcatcher Lounge at Viejas Casino for the Ultimate Music Challenge. I think the band is still in shock and awe at the response we got from the crowd and the reviews by the judges. We’re hoping you can join us at the semi final on July 20th. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us!
