Greetings Rioters…
With the midnight release of the new cd, 404, just hours away (and already available in the South Pacific and other parts of the world on the other side of the International Date Line), I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that they can “test the goods before you buy”... Read More »
So I have this ring that I only wear when I’m playing my drums. It’s oval shaped with a big war-like eagle emblem on top. It looks like a signet ring. I only wear this when I play, because it was given to me by my late father, and (allegedly) came from a line of... Read More »
There hasn’t been too much activity on the site lately. Part of the reason, as Gary explained in his last post, is that the Riot has been busy in all kinds of crazy ways. But you already knew that. Gary was only telling you half of the story. The REAL truth is that we have... Read More »

It’s been a while since I sat down to share some thoughts… what can I say—I’m a busy guy… no excuses, but I really have been busy, AND I refuse to get caught up in Lew Jones’ (and his secretary’s) exploits. What can I say—the guy is pretty bold for a RHYTHM GUITARIST. Don’t mess with... Read More »
Looking back on our blogs, i realize that we are all so excited about the band, the music, the shows, the reviews, and all things riot. And for good reason…there is a lot to be excited about. But these good things aren’t happening by accident. We are gaining momentum and finding some success because we... Read More »
It’s been an interesting (and busy) couple of months. We’ve been in the studio, we’ve been playing shows, and we’ve been writing new stuff. After the studio experience, we all noticed that practice has been a lot more intense. Thanks to Manny Sanchez and his crew at I.V. Labs, we realized what we are capable... Read More »
