My dear Voivod brethren.....Most of you that have posted at Voivodfan over the years know that I play guitar for several projects and some of you are even fans of my project Death & Taxe$ (www.cdbaby.com/deathtaxes2) Well, I call on you guys once again for support. I try to keep these requests to a minimum so as not to appear like an opportunist. I truly am a fan of this site and of the mighty Voivod. Even though I don't post all that much, I visit every day (if not 5x a day!) Piggy was such an influence on my playing and thinking, and remains so to this day. As a matter of fact, there will be a small musical devotion to him on my forth coming Death & Taxe$ release. But currently, I'm working in a project called Present Tense. While I understand that this particular group has little in common with many of the bands that are liked on this site, I feel that you guys are sort of my internet family. So even though I realize that many of you don't like this type of music (Present Tense is more of an alternative pop rock band), I'm kindly asking for your support in a contest we're involved in. We've been nominated for "Indie Band of the Month" at Dave Navarro's internet radio site. If any of you want to support my effort, please go to www.spreadradiolive.com and Click on the Indie Band Contest link. Then scroll down and vote for Present Tense. As always, any support I get is always appreciated. And if some of you don't think we're worth it, no worries! I totally understand. I have to admit, Present Tense probably sounds like a lot of bands that you guys hate. And I can respect that. But as for me, it has always been my goal to bridge the gap between creativity and pop sensability. Obviously, I don't always succeed, but I think Present Tense gets close to the mark without selling out. yes, we're a radio friendly band, but I hope there's enough edge and art to it to keep it respectable. Anyway, things are going well for this band and we're getting some attention. And for the small chance that this band takes off and does well commercially in the next 2 years, I want you to know that I will fly the Voivod banner proudly! And everyone will know that the guitar player of this pop band called Present Tense is a fan of the guitar god Piggy and the mighty Voivod! And for any of you that happen to dig our sound, please tell all your friends to vote for us as well. In any case, thanks you guys for reading. If you guys want to check out some tunes first, go to our website and check out the tunes Promises Sweet and Homewrecker. They are definitely not metal songs, but it's as hard as we get. Our website address is www.PresentTenseBand.com Thanks again! your internet brother, MeanMrMustard (vince)

Who needs to listen to the music before when you have a Voivod AND Beatles fan onboard?You got mine, mate! Good luck with Present Tense and D&T! -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."
