Alex Going Solo...and other news
6/5/05
Ahem....I have some shocking news! Now...before you all shit your pants and start crying like little babies, let me say this: This Alex news is 100% awesome!! I cried yesterday when I found out...but Now I'm overjoyed! TC is kinda tainted as a band, if you know what I mean. Everyone remembers them as the band that did "Wherever You Will Go" and no one really caught on to their other singles. Maybe with Alex going solo, people will give him a listen! And it'll probably help The Calling out. If Alex does really well, which you know he will, TC album sails will probably go way up!
So yes, it's true. Alex is going solo. He will be posting a message on the Loft tomorrow. Now don't worry...this doesn't mean that The Calling has broken up. Alex just wanted to move ahead in his career. As long as Aaron and Alex are still writing music together *which I promise you they are* there will be a TC. For all we know, TC will record a third album after Alex releases his album and tours and stuff!
And just because Alex will not be calling himself The Calling, does not mean that we can't still support him!! The TC Support Group will be supporting Alex the same way we've always supported The Calling!!
*Message From Alex!! --What he's up to these days!*
-Yay!! I New message from Alex!! This one was posted on 4/12/05 Here it is:
Hello all Calling fans!!! Although things have seemed quiet from me, there is A LOT in the works and I have been crazy busy! I’ve been working on amazing new music, doing performances on TV shows that will soon be aired, modeling for top magazines, and acting, yes acting! I also have some good news for US fans! The Calling will be doing two shows in the beginning of June!!! One in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Silverton Casino on June 3rd, and another at the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival in Temecula, California on June 4th. The band and I are extremely excited to play and hope Calling fans from all over the country will try to make it to these shows! We will be playing all the favorites of course, but I would like to make this extra special by having all the fans of The Loft vote on what songs we should play, so you all hear exactly what you want! If you’re not a member of The Loft, now is the time to become one! I hope everyone is doing well and I’ll see you soon! All the love…
Alex Band
So that is f*cking awesome news!! I cannot wait to see the tv performances!!!
*Another Message from Alex-And a gift!!*
-Hey guys:) I know things have been pretty quiet from me, since I’ve been busy creating new music and other great stuff…so, I thought I’d dig through my past and give you all a treat while you wait! Well, a few treats, to be exact. The first one that you’re getting now is the very first music video I ever did for a song called “Dormant Prayer”. My friend Jethro and I wrote the song and recorded the video ourselves over 10 years ago! Our duo group was called “Maybe Solitude”. This thing is soooo funny!!! I’m about 12 years old in it, but totally acting it up like I would now. I’m so glad Jethro dug this video up for us all; it’s really an important piece of my history. Now remember, I was only 12, and this song and video is about being an inmate on death row, on the way to being executed! What was going on in my tiny little brain?! I don’t know. I guess its still pretty tiny…Uh, anyway, I hope you all enjoy it! There will be more treats on the way to keep you busy like me! The band and I are really looking forward to these two shows in June. I’ve taken all your requests for a set list in consideration and it will definitely end up being a loooong show! Hey, and I get to write a tour diary…granted it will only be for two days. But, we all know how much crazy stuff can happen in just two days! So, enjoy, and I’ll speak to you all soon! All the love…

The video is super cute!! Alex is just darling in it! You can see it at www2.fanscape.com/thecalling/streetteam/start.html
*Another Message From Alex!!-All about his dad's movies and some other great news!*
Hey guys and girls! I just wanted to let everybody know what my crazy movie-making Dad is up to these days! I’m very proud of him and I will actually be writing a song with him for his upcoming movie “DOLL GRAVEYARD”! We’re also developing an awesome TV show together! For those of you who don’t know him, Charles Band has made over 250 films in the last 30 years and is known as “The King Of The B Movies”. You might have heard of some of his most popular titles from the past or even rented them at your local video store. Well, he is back making the same crazy, unique horror movies like the Puppetmaster Series, Re-animator, Subspecies and Trancers. The first feature coming out in June on the new Wizard label is “DECADENT EVIL”. After that for Halloween will be “DOLL GRAVEYARD” and then a classic film starring Gary Busey running around as a killer cookie called “GINGERDEAD MAN”! My Dad’s devoted fans around the world are right up there with mine and you can get a good look at what they’re all fawning over at fullmoondirect.com. Enough great movies to keep you busy for years, toys that even adults would like to have creeping around on their desks and even an amazing 6 disk DVD set that teaches you all the tricks of the trade to create your own B movie empire! So, if you have a chance, go check out the website and sign up for his mailing list so he can let you know all the insanity that is to come. Thanks for taking the time to read this! All the love…
