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)

Hey y'all, help out a brotha send him love by casting your vote. You don't even have to give your email address, so whatta ya got to loose? I cast my vote, and I actually really dig Present Tense's cd, so it was a no brainer... besides, Mean Mr Mustard (aka Vince) is a damnngood friend and he's been around here since the start, hence the #57 ranking. So stop readin my post and cast him a vote. And if ya really wanna hear some groovy pop music with an edge and a kick ass axe slinger and superb female vocalist, buy the Present Tense cd.

rock on brothas and sistas

The competition seems to be tough there at the moment...PT (my initials btw ) lead by one percent before I cast my vote. If anyone deserves a vote on that list it's you, I'm rooting for Present!

Done... I think. It wouldn't show me the vote results after voting, so it either didn't work, or I just voted 10 times. Good luck with this mate. Still digging the D&T stuff over here.

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!

Just wanted to thank all you guys! You rock!

And where the heck have you been Meg? I must have your old email address....I tried emailing you some time ago, but no reply.
Present Tense will be touring a bit in '07, but I don't know if we'll get to Seattle by the summer. But you'll be the first to know if we do!

Yeah, when I moved last February I transferred my Comcast cable service, but they blocked my email account and I had to re-register a new one. I lost all the addresses I had saved in that account, and then lost all the others I had in my hotmail account when I neglected to login for over a month. I updated my email address in my VVF profile though (I think).
