NOTICE: I keep getting asked why the songs on our juke box can not be downloaded. Ufortuneately the contract we have signed with a digital distributor means we can't so we are "REALLY SORRY" about that. We are in negotiations. However I have made the songs available to anyone that wants them to add to their profile.
I am Dave and I have been tour managing/roadieing/merchandising/slave for Altered States since November 1994. So anything you hear here from me is true when they finally get round to telling me. Anything anywhere else is a rumour until it is confirmed by me.
See my pic in pictures and come and say "Hi" if you spot me

By the way. I think "Thanks For The Add" or "Thanks For Adding Us" has to be the most over used phrase on myspace, so I wont be saying it, instead I thank you all here in advance now. "THANKS FOR ADDING US".
