TEMPLE 8 @ Unicity Festival 2008! |

Temple 8 will be showcasing at the Unicity Performing Arts Festival, Saturday, August 2nd in Middletown, Delaware. Agents, managers, talent buyers and label reps will be attending the festival to scout for future projects and if they walk into one of the staging areas while we're performing and no one is watching, this will not be good for us. So if you dig the sounds of Rush, Dream Theater, Tool or A Perfect Circle, you'll find something similar in us. Please come check us out if you're in the area. Show up at our performance and you might get some free stuff. CDs, T-shirts, keychains, etc. General Admission Tickets are $15.00 and will allow people to see over 100 artists on five stages throughout the day. Also on the bill at an additional cost are The Fixx, Sandra Bernhard, and critically acclaimed director John Waters ("A Filthy World"). We haven't received the actual time and location of our performance. More details to follow. Unicity Festival Official Site |

Hey Temple 8 Fans!
We hope your holiday season was great for you and yours. Temple 8 is planning a fairly extensive U.S. festival and club tour for Spring/Summer 2008. We're also in preparation of our soon-to-be-released follow-up CD.
WE NEED YOU NOW.
WE NEED YOU to help spread the word, recruit new fans, and help us start a street team to promote shows. If you like what you've heard so far and would like to see us perform live in your area and help us build this thing, please give us a hand, join our street team and take a look at the street team missions at our ReverbNation page .
Rewards will be free Temple 8 stuff like T-shirts, posters and other Temple 8 merchandise, Temple 8 CDs, free admission to shows, and since Kurt has endorsements with a couple of musical instrument makers, there could even be some free gear or accessories in it for you!
The reviews of our debut CD have been great and we're confident that we can be one of the top ProgRock/ProgMetal bands of the 21st century, but we can't do it without you. Please become a member of our Street Team and help us reach our goals. |

I'm proud to announce that I now have an official endorsement from Canadian guitar company Dot On Shaft Guitars.  photo by Jim Braun I've added two of their most popular axes to my arsenal: The Twin Tiger (right) a beautifully crafted 12-string/6-string double-neck and the Dragon, a fantastic strat style with wonderfully crafted abalone inlay and both guitars sport gold plated hardware. I'll have performance pics with these guitars sometime in August.  photo by Jim Braun In the meantime, for the guitarist looking for something unique, I encourage you to visit the Dot On Shaft Guitars web site and check out their selection. Mike is doing a bang up job with this new company and I'm here to tell you that you don't have to get a "big name" guitar in order to have top-notch, quality workmanship, awesome playability and raucous tone. And what's more is that the unique designs of these guitars truly set them apart from the rest. More to come...

It's been a long, slow road. When Kurt's home studio fell victim to flooding it really took the wind out of our sails as far as our follow-up CD was concerned. Not only that, but because the studio also serves as bread and butter for Kurt, there were some hard financial knocks that needed to be overcome. It took longer than expected to fix the studio, but it is finally back up and running.
However, after such a long time off, some of the songs we had been working on just don't feel right anymore, so we're re-evaluating them and considering the possibility of subjecting some of them to dissection and re-arrangement. That being said, we're still not going to make any sudden moves because we don't want to screw up what may have been a good thing. We know a lot of people were impressed by our debut and therefore, they want us to deliver a follow-up that maintains some stability and meets listener expectations about what Temple 8 is all about, but at the same time, we also want to show some growth and have people be as happy and pleasantly surprised with our next offering as we are.
If we seem too silent, it's because we don't want to speak or deliver anything until we can do so with clarity, confidence and excitement.
