After getting last week's blog in late, I figured I'd better post this week's before everything gets crazy!

I'm still feeling a little beat up from last night's show. The crew played a private 'going-away' shindig for a fellow Lafayette resident that's leaving to join the Army this week (Best of luck, THAD!). Friend of the band and extremely talented, Evan Ryan, joined us for the night in jamming some tunes. I'd post the set, but we played everything we could pull off (which is a lot more than I've posted in previous sets). 

SIDE NOTE: you can catch our anything and everything set at Aces Pub on Saturday, February 25th with Born Under Burden (INFO & RSVP HERE). The ads on 93.5 WKHY should be on air now. 

It was an honor to help send Thad off. Plus, there are a few more IND shirts and CDs that you'll be seeing/hearing around town.

For fun, here's a video clip from the night. The show was in a gym. So, despite a complete lack of skills and ups, we decided to 'ball':

Some of you are probably aware that a few of my previous writing efforts have been licensed to shows on E!, MTV, and NFL Network in the past. Well, I'm keeping it rolling.

I received contracts from some shows/networks requesting my music last week, so be on the look out for tracks from Whistle When We Break Down on Discovery Channel, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, Science Channel, Planet Green, TLC, Military Channel, Discovery HD Theater, Discovery Health Channel, OWN, The Hub, 3Net, Fox, FSN, Speed TV, Big 10 Network, NFL Network, NFL Films, Versus, CSN, G4, NASCAR, ESPN, all US Sports stadiums and arenas, The Real World, Road Rules, Extreme Challenge, Fantasy Factory, Ridiculousness, Nitro Circus, Parental Control, Saddle Ranch, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Khloe and Lamar, Bad Girls Club, Love Games, Best Ink, Koping, and the new Clint Eastwood family project.

The radio push for Whistle When We Break Down is heating up too. I let loose a list of stations spinning my tunes a couple of entries ago. After finishing an email blast thanking them, I received another report. So, now there's more!

Quite a few stations have the disc in heavy rotation and/or charting in their top ten. In the case of WPPJ in Pittsburgh, I fulfilled a request from them on Saturday to record and submit a station ID/plug for them use as a transition into my songs. "Hey! This is Chris June IND and you're listening to..."

It was a lot of fun to do!

That does it for this week's blog.

I'm off to get some touch-up ink done with my main-man Eddie at Sacred Apple in a bit. If you're making the trip to Chicago to catch In Flames on Tuesday night, my buddy Brian (from The Mound Builders) and myself will be there throwing horns. Also, the IND crew will be doing an acoustic set Wednesday night for Lafayette Live at the Lafayette Theater at 10pm to plug Saturday's Show.

Also, if you notice that you're a regular on the blog, consider following @ChrisJuneIND on Twitter and 'Liking' Chris June IND on Facebook.

Thanks for stopping by!

Over and out.
