Kegstand Poetry wins BEST ALBUM

from June 11, 2007

Thanks to you... Kegstand Poetry wins BEST ALBUM in Phoenix Best Music Poll!

Greetings cats and kittens,

First off, thanks to all who took time to vote in this year's Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll. Your heavy barrage of clicks has paid off, and Kegstand Poetry for the Recovering Alcoholic has won the Best Album Category!

This couldn't have happened without all of your support over the past year, and especially not without the patience and understanding so many of you put forth in the years leading up to the record's release, when I chipped away bit by bit at all of our lives on this crazy lil quest. So thank you for hanging in while it all went down.

Thanks to those of you who came on board after the album was released, to you who are genuinely listeners and fans, as you are the people who raised the album's profile so that it could be recognized. Thanks for making it so I don't have to do this in a vacuum, for your feedback, criticism, and love.

An extreme helping of appreciation to all the players who helped make the album what it was: Entity, Dox, theGenetics, Reason, Symmetry, Romen Rok, Frank Ripp, Emilio Lopez, Sneak Techniks, Dusty Frazier, Joeywonk, DJ Roux, Tone Capone, Need Not Worry, Realistikk, LoProphyle, Mumu, Pauly from the Block, James Van Der Beek, and of course, whomever I wound up forgetting.

It is in your best interest to seek out these artists and check out their material, which is admittedly far superior to my own, so I'm thankful I didn't have to go head-to-head with them in the category, or I'd be short one metaphorical Moon Man.

Hopefully this is just an early step, so stay tuned for the next.

The new Storm Davis album, Robot Rock & Necktie Blues, (produced by Dox aka Justin Sayles) will be in your hands 'round summer's end.

The Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll Winners issue is on newsstands from Thursday June 7 til Wednesday June 13. The articles will be posted online at www.thephoenix.com/bmp

love to all,
