Big Al Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 So I'm driving the kids to school today and we hear "Groovadelphia" on KNTU this morning. What makes this so cool (aside from the obvious coolness about hearing the guys on the radio in the first place).... well, there was so much cool about this: Yesterday, we were listening to the Groovadelphia CD in the truck, the title track was playing. I mentioned to my son that "this is that band that my friends in Michigan are in." He thought that was cool, and he & his buddy were bobbin' their heads & tappin' their fingers to the music. Now, you gotta remember: these are twelve-year-olds who dig Metallica & other Rock Band/Guitar Hero bands, so this is a good thing.When the boys got in the truck today, I mentioned that this was Organissimo ("The band with your friends in Michigan, Dad?" "Ooohhh yeahh!!!") and not only did they think it was pretty cool that the cool song they heard on the CD player the day before was on the radio today, but they were STILL groovin' along with the song.I called Skid cuz I had to call SOMEONE. Cool thing about Skid: he's one of the few people on the planet I can call and tell about something like this who would truly appreciate this. Plus, he made me howl this morning when he answered the phone thusly: "Tori Amos Fan Club Headquarters." I love getting caught off guard like that!Then I called KNTU and pretended like I'd never heard of Organissimo and asked "who was playing that funky organ-trio type song that was played about five minutes ago." She said who it was, and I said "PLEASE play that again and a LOT! That was a terrific tune," and she said "Well, keep listening because we have it on heavy rotation." HELL FREAKIN' YEAH!!!!! Organissimo in heavy rotation in the DFW area! More congrats, guys! Quote
Uncle Skid Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Quit hatin', Ag. Congrats to the band for all the airplay! Quote
Joe G Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 As a former metalhead, it's nice to know that a current metalhead can listen to our music and not say it sucks. :rsmile: Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I believe the correct term is "reformed metalist". KNTU has been spinning the crap out of the disc. And we are very appreciative! Thanks for the heads-up. Quote

Big Al Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Posted October 9, 2008 "Former" metalhead? Dude, you can't kill the metal. The metal will live on. Once a metalhead, ALWAYS a metalhead. Maybe y'alls next album could be called that! Quote
Joe G Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah, it's true. A few years ago I saw a bumper sticker that got me. It read: STAY METAL Quote
