Hey guys, this is Mike, guitarist/singer for Echoed Illusions, and I just wanted to give you guys couple updates on the goings on of the band over the last couple days, so.. here you go!

First off, and probably most importantly, Echoed Illusions is still in the studio and doing an awesome job! We've had to scratch some songs because of timing issues and what not, but now I couldn't be more proud of the way it sounds. Everyone in the band has really stepped it up and produced some of the best music we've written. As you know, it is a full length album, it has (I belive!) 9 songs on it, and it is tentatively titled Beyond the Line. I'll get a track list up as soon as it's finalized! I really hope you guys all check it out, it'll be totally worth it!

Secondly, we have a show coming up called Nuclear Day, hosted by the U of U, raising money for research into Nuclear Power and Disposal. It's a great cause and I really hope you guys can all make it out. WE WILL BE PLAYING ALL OF OUR ORIGINAL SONGS!!! So, get excited!

Lastly, we've been thinking of band T shirts, so as soon as we can afford it, those'll probably happen! Save your money now to buy one!

I love you all! Thank you so much for your support.

Hello Everyone!

Hello fans of Echoed Illusions! We're gonna start blogging about everything that comes up on the twisted road we've decided to take by forming this band! There's been so many things happening, it's truly been a whirlwind, but we're so excited for the future and we're enjoying every minute of it!

We've spent about two days recording with our AWESOME, AMAZING producer, Gregg Hale, and our first full length album is coming along very nicely! We're just about done with the rhythm section, than Joel and Mike will start recording vocals! We're hoping to have the CD recorded and ready to sell by the first of April, so keep your fingers crossed!

We've also been playing more and more shows recently, from appearances in a local sushi resturaunt to playing at the Murray theater to hundreds of people. We're planning on another acoustic show at Mt. Fuji sushi bar the weekend of April 10th. We HIGHLY recommend the food there, and of course, the awesome music :) Check our Myspace page peridocally for updates on that show. We're also preparing for a big charity event on April 23rd, with local bands from around the valley at the U of U. From what we've heard, we will be playing to support clean Nuclear Waste research, which is especially important here in Utah. Again, more details later, check our Myspace.

T shirts are on the way! We're getting price estimates soon, but we plan on those being available to buy by our show on the 23rd!

Lastly, we want to thank everyone who's been showing up to our shows lately. It means alot to see people supporting us in our dreams of writing music and performing, and every motivation helps. Just come and smile and clap for us, and we'll be extremely grateful :) Thank you all! We love you!
