[img=080811_bobby joe 2.jpg][img=080811_BobbyJoeEbola_red.png]Top of the new week GDA peeps!

Lots of contests going on at the moment, i'll be announcing the winner(s) of the competition we had to win a copy of Niki Lee's book 'Seize The Green Day' a little later.

I also want to give a shout out to our good friends Bobby Joe Ebola and The Children MacNuggets, who toured with Emily's Army and The Frustrators this year. I caught up with the band in Oakland last week and they are setting out on an ambitious project to raise funds to make an epic video for their song 'Life is Excellent' - Singer Corbett Redford gave me the lowdown:

We are a band from the East Bay (lived in Pinole, Oakland, El Sobrante, Rodeo and surrounding areas over our life). We have a song we are doing 13 videos, one for each on our last album, "F". The big finale is for a song called 'Life Is Excellent', a noted fan favorite and we are trying to raise funds to make it a very epic affair! (You can listen to the song: here) We toured this year with both The Frustrators and Emily's Army and are touring the US again from September 14th - October 12th.

Here is the link to the donation site, which also has a lot of other info and a fun video about our plight

Help make this come to fruition by donating and spreading the word. There could be some very intriguing surprises in the final video!
