Battle 2010

We survived the Battle of the Bands and came out of it stronger than we went in. Although we greatly missed our Lead Guitarist Mike (out due to injury), we learned we can adapt our music to overcome these setbacks. He will be back soon with a vengeance.

Thanks to the AWESOME crowd that joined us at the stage, the fans who showed up at the signing table, all the sponsors, the judges, Adrianne Wagner and the Sun staff, all our friends and family, and all the bands that played and made the local music scene a little stronger. Let's do it again soon.

Also a special thanks to the following:

The Final Countdown

We're about 4.5 hours from hitting the stage in the Battle of the Bands. Mike broke his leg about two weeks ago and unfortunately will not be able to join us for this gig. So it will be a more down and dirty set tonight without his elegant touches. Check back soon for photos and hopefully some audio of the show.

Battle of the Bands 2010

We will be performing at the 2010 Yuma Battle of the Bands on SATURDAY MAY 8th, at 1030pm, on Main Street in Downtown Yuma. We are fortunate to be the last band in the lineup. Please come early in the event they are running ahead of schedule and we hit the stage slightly early. Not to mention there are other great bands playing as well. Show your love and support.

Please stop by the merchandise table after our set to say hello, get something signed, or pick up some FREE CDs while they last. We love interacting with the fans just as much as playing so please stop by. Thanks and we'll see you at the show.

T Shirts

Please visit our link to your right and check out some custom song inspired Rochambeaux T Shirts and other paraphernalia. Show your support and taste by sporting a fine piece of fashion today.

New Drummer

We're pleased to welcome Mr. Chad Coleman as our new drummer. Chad has extensive experience playing with various groups and is a perfect addition to the eclectic sound and personalities of Rochambeaux. Chad will be rocking the kit both live and in the studio.

We have started some preliminary jamming and writing new material for a new album. We look forward to creating new soundscapes with Chad.

Try not to drink too much on St. Patrick's Day.

Lovers, Friends, and Countrymen

Happy Valentine's Day. I got my wife a really nice Ipod docking/speaker system. She said she'd rather have flowers.

The 2010 Yuma Battle of the Bands is early this year and will occur on Saturday April 24 at the Yuma Fun Factory. We we will be entering and will hopefully land a slot to be able to play. As soon as the "voting" starts, I'll post a link so everyone can vote for us. Stay tuned for more information and another chance to see us live. Thanks for all the support.

New Year Update

It's a new year and we've taken a bit of time off to relax, clear our heads, and enjoy This Holy October. We have some good ideas left over from those sessions that may materialize into new songs for the next album. In addition, I started working on a couple new songs and we also plan to rework some very old songs we did back in our high school days. They need some updating but it's fun to modernize and examine them in a new light.

I cannot say for certain which direction if any the next album will go, but the writing and creative process has officially started for it. With any luck I should be able to send Paul some demos soon to start him thinking and I hope to get Mike and Eric in the studio soon for some collaboration. Wish us luck and as always, we'll keep you posted.
