In October we
did a couple Halloween events ..one with our good friends, DRAGONTOWN DAN..the
Alice Cooper impersonator 
and then
followed up the 1st week of November with 2 Hell's Circus shows. Following
that Mike Rodriguez left the band. Thanks Mike Rod for being part of Seven
Days Lost and Hell's Circus!!! 
GOOD NEWS IS... We found a awesome drummer to replace Mike.
The newest
member of the band is Justus Downey! He also playing in another band
called Generation Dead. He is very cool and a great fit to the
band...he Rocks!! \m/
Justus just did his 1st show with the band on 12-9-11 at Sunshine Studios...He kicked ass!
I will add a couple new photos for you below! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am looking forward to seeing what it brings. Take care! \m/

Welcome back to my dark corner....it's been a while! We have been busy with a series of show in April that seemed to go pretty well for us. We played at a ROTTEN RECORDS showcase show and seemed to do very well. The record company President and his wife were snapping pictures at the front of the stage as we played...so that was kind of cool. We also did a Sunshine Studio show that we had video taped and we will be posting parts of that online as time goes on. Mr. Dead Man is already out at this time on YouTube & my TV show as well. We also completed another Bar version of Hell's Circus that went over very well! We will be back to do another one on June 3rd at CJ's Grill in Pueblo!! We are trying get back to work on the CD project....Gary got real sick in the last break we took to record and we didn't get much done at all, but we are ready to dive in now! Below is a picture or two from the last Hell's Circus we did.. Hope to SEE YOU ALL AT OUR NEXT SHOW!!

Hello Metal Heads! Hope the new year is treating you good so far.... We kicked off the year with a Sidekicks Saloon show in January! They did a nice job of upgrading the stage there, but they need to get rid of Voodoo Productions for their bookings. It's not right to have a bar full of people drinking and not one of the bands even gets paid. Great crowd there!! Shitty promoter!!! FUCK Voodoo Production! That's my opinion only... I am not speaking for the band, just myself.
Following
that bunch of shit we got back to recording and also did a very cool show in
Pueblo. 
I put together a
HELL'S CIRCUS show for the first time ever performed in a bar! It went
pretty damn good...of course the Graveyard Girlz and special guest Ring
Master, John Brown helped make it a success! We had 5 people show up as
ZOMBIES!! That was so fuckin cool.
We also just filmed a at a Sunshine studios show in Colorado Springs...I haven't yet seen the raw video, but I should see it tonight.
We are back at recording and looking forward to putting out our first ever 7DL cd this April. Updates to follow....
TAKE CARE MY FRIENDS! \m/
12-23-2010 MERRY CHRISTMAS
Hello my friends, here is a little update on what I got going on with the band and what not. Right now in Se7en Days Lost we are recording a preparing for a couple upcoming shows (check our web page with show dates) We are making plans for the new year and working out some kinks in our operation as we go.
On the Hell's Circus side of things!!!!!!! I am planning a series of shows for 2011, for HELL TOWN USA and the surrounding area if possible. 1st stop ZIPPER'S in Pueblo Co. (other wise known as HELL TOWN) scheduled for January 29th and will feature at this time Se7en Days Lost * The Graveyard Girlz * (TBA)
On the TV show end of things....Look for Motorcycle Mayhem and More Hard ROCK'N, Head Banging HEAVY Metal along with some fun skits and assorted shit!
Take care and God Bless You All....You're going to need it!

Hell's Circus was a blast and I want to thank everyone who participated and those who came to the show!! You All ROCK!
The DragonTown Dan show at the Union Station was Kick Ass Fun! Looking forward to doing more with Dan in the future.
We may be on a bit of a un-scheduled break...We have a December show on the books, but right now we are planning on working on some recording stuff and finishing the Nail In My Coffin video. Mike "Rod", our drummer will be going out of state a bit here and there so gigs are somewhat on hold till we get a game plan figured out.... but we will be staying closer to home for the next few months...last winter we were lucky to make it home after a couple of up north shows...driving home at 3 & 4 in the morning in blizzards is not the way to go.
Here is a new pic I am using that Lori, my wife, shot and Leta Langdon edited....Pretty Cool, if you ask me!
10-11-10
HOWDY!!! Yeah..that's how I usually say Hello. I want to say thanks to all the people who have made the last couple of shows a real blast! We loved rock'n the stage down at the Buzzard's Roost Road Jam in Lamar....Can't wait to go back!
Got a ton of Halloween shows coming up and above all!!!!! HELL'S CIRCUS is October 28th and 29th at The Impossible Players Playhouse and then on Saturday the 30th at the Senate Bar with The Sump Things.
We have a DOUBLE HEADER on Oct 22nd in Colorado Springs too! We start off at the Union Station with DRAGONTOWN DAN and then race across town to destroy Murray Street Darts along with Moore and NDAAZ .
8-11-10
Been busy as Hell! Speaking of...... I am getting Hell's Circus organized at this point. The show dates are Oct. 28th & 29th at the Impossible Playhouse on Main Street here in Hell Town USA!!! PUEBLO COLORADO!
Speaking of busy....we have been hitting the road a bit lately after a few Pueblo area shows we have been up north in Colorado Springs and Denver. We have added a couple songs to the set and one you got to here is MR. DEAD MAN, a re-write of the lyrics to the music of a song I co-wrote back in Wicked Wayz. The song Voices was a song that was born out of music I wrote for a story about a ghost in my parents house that I saw several times as a young boy. In Wicked Wayz I was playing the song but I didn't have my words with me one night at practice ...the guys liked it and I told them where I was going with it.....John had some lyrics that were along similar lines and that night we merged the two together... My story idea and music, along with John Rivera kicking in 75% of the lyrics. WICKED WAYZ shit the nest a few years back, I wanted to take this song and get it back on track with real story line...the TRUE story of Mr. DEAD MAN. Gary is doing the singing on it....and he does a great job! Sounds a bit like Glen Danzig.
We are trying to get a EP CD out before Mid September...we will see. We have a busy schedule which includes a video shoot for NAIL IN MY COFFIN.
That's all for now....See ya at the Shows!!!!
How the Hell Are You My Friends!!!! 
We just got done playing over at The Spillway in Aurora on July 2nd...FUN SHOW! JUST NEED TO SEE MORE FRESH MEAT AT OUR SHOWS! We may have a opening slot there for a National Act at the begging of August....so keep an eye on our calendar.
We are getting ready to tear into a steady diet of gigs and recording.. I am starting to get Hell's Circus in order and that means we got to go over some songs that we need to play in that show, on top of new songs we are all dying to put some work into.
Nail In My Coffin video shoot is getting organized and should have a date for filming scheduled in the next few days.
We have a Pueblo show at The Senate on July 16th ... We recently did a CLUB 21 show in Pueblo in June and we have another coming up on July 23rd. Here is a picture from there with my friend TOXIIC, who is also helping on my TV show ACCESS UNLIMITED. Talk to you all later...Keep On Rockin, HARD & HEAVY!!
M.T.
I want to thank everyone you showed up for our June 11th show
at Club Lost, in Pueblo. Getting people to go to a club that
has never done a rock act, (usually Hip Hop/Rap) is kind of a hard
thing to do. The performers on the bill were all Kick Ass!!! I
enjoyed the show a lot. We had the Graveyard Girlz,
DragonTown Dan, Harvey Black and Black Torrent on the bill with us...they
all rocked it!
Special thanks goes out to Fred Greenwood who has shot a lot of pics for us lately....Here is a shot he took of me from the show. Also, thanks to Jeff Stuart, who is a Clown from Hell's Circus. Jeff helped with the load in and took care of our merch.
We have a show next week on June 25th in Pueblo at Club21.. be sure to check us out there.... I am planning on adding in a couple songs into our set and break out "Bloody Mary" for Erotopath if possible!
SEE YOU THERE!
We started adding a few more songs to Mike Rod's plate and we plan on playing some at the June 11th show in Pueblo at Club Lost. I am doing the booking for this show, so for better or worse, it resembles a Hell's Circus sort of show ....check out the flyer and you will see what I mean!
We are still on track to get some recording in for June and then back to the road show were we belong. Joe (the Pig) plays in another band outside of 7DL, so setting up a schedule for the shows is going to be tough, but look for us to play in Pueblo a lot in July and then probably once a month after that in Pueblo....Hell it's our own backyard!!!
Between updates we did a show in Denver at the Larimer Lounge...that was fun, but playing out of town on a Thursday tends to suck. The bar was cool, and the staff their ROCKED!!! Special thanks to former Puebloan.. Tim Vigil, who was working the door. Very cool guy and a hell of a musician too. Tim treated us like family while we were there and that was way cool. And thanks also too the pretty bartender working that night, I don't know her name, but she was also super cool to us...a sweetheart for sure!!
Speaking of sweethearts! Joe finally gave me a picture of myself and the bartender from the PT's show!
Till next time...
It was so cool the first night over at PT's to feel like a band
again, after removing the cancerous tumor that had been part of the band,
even though it had been only for a few short weeks. So
much more fun to play in a band where you enjoy the people you are
around!!! Plus, Mike Rod can actually play!!!!! He did a
kick ass job for only having a handful of practices under his
belt. I am just being honest...
We have a bunch of shows being added to the calendar, so click on the link for events to know what's coming your way. I know we are back up in the Denver area again this week (Thursday) at the Larimer Lounge.
Mike Rod is picking up the songs pretty fast, which is good, because when we were asked to do a encore over at the Buffalo Rose, we only had enough tunes together (that we had learned in that short amount of time) to pull off the show...so I as much as I wanted to play a encore, we really couldn't without just replaying something we had already just played. AND...Let me thank all the wicked cool people who came up and talked to us at the two shows. Thank You !!! You all Rock, too!
We are getting ready some new songs for you. Some are actually older songs (new to our drummer) plus we are starting on a handful of brand new songs that may appear on our upcoming EP.
If we can work in some extra time, we will be shooting new band photos and shooting a new video for NAIL IN MY COFFIN. The video was supposed to have been shot in early March, but with the drummer issues we had, it was put on hold.
I am looking forward to adding a new piece of gear to my guitar rig...I can't wait to see what kind of tone I can pull out of it, once I get sometime on it.
Talk to you all later ...see you at the shows!
The band has been going through some changes as of late. For those of you who know Gene, has not left the band, yet? I say that cause, I don't know what his current plans are. He is a great guy but he does have other commitments and even though he is still in the band, he will be moving out of the lead percussion position and into a new role out on the front of the stage.....unless he chooses to leave....
On that note....we have had some shuffling of our lineup lately. Brad Butler filled in for a couple shows and has now exited the stage. I do apologize on behalf of the band ...but everything happens for a reason and this has led us to a old friend and a Kick Ass drummer, Mike Rodriquez .
Mike has been put on the spot, right out of the gate, cause of our upcoming shows, but he seems to be up to the challenge. I am excited to see where we go from here.
Currently we are planning on a recording project for a 8 song EP - CD in June
My Wife Lori & I after a show that we both performed in. She is a member of the Graveyard Girlz
