Thanks everyone for all the advance ticket sales for the Roxy show on Friday, November 5th. The Roxy has to be one of the coolest clubs in L.A. with a big room, great sound, plenty of seating and just an overall groovy vibe. The band rose to the occasion again which pretty much goes without saying and performed material from the new album "Grand References". They did throw in the song "Learning to Live Without You" from Timothy's second release 'Rip, Roll & Ride', which went over big especially with the newest band member Tommy Reeves adding his keyboard flavoring.

This year has been quite a productive one for the band with the release of the brand new album "Grand References" and the release of Timothy's father's CD "Younger Day", also adding keyboardist Tommy Reeves and getting several great performances from the band. I think the Roxy show was the perfect way to wrap up 2004 and with the holidays soon upon us, I doubt there are any more shows in the forecast for December.

Thanks again everyone for making this year an extra special one and a very special thanks to Rosey Haffey for all her support and hard work with the band over the past few months.

Happy Holidays! See you in 2005!  -Amy C.-

The show at the Gig on September 1st kicked ass!  We received several phone calls and emails days following the show raving about the bands performance.  We even had comments on how the song "One Small Miracle" gave people chills (you know, goosebumps)!

Donny Roberts from Phoenix was in the house sizzling on lead guitar and once again the band performed songs from Timothy's last three albums.  This show will definitely be remembered as one of the bands great nights!

So here's the scoop, the club has invited the band back right away for a repeat performance and there's a little buzz in the air about some music industry people wanting to attend.  I know Timothy and the band really appreciate everyone making it out to all the shows and we hope to see all of you back for this special showcase at the Gig on Thursday, October 7th at 8:00pm.

Peace out!  -Amy C.-

Just thought you might enjoy checking out some photos from the Club Lingerie show on July 26th.  The band really cranked it up and performed several songs from the "Rip, Roll & Ride!", "State Line", and "Grand References" albums.  The only time the band slowed it down and put it on simmer was for the song "One Small Miracle".

A special thanks goes out to Gordie Germaine for sitting in on lead guitar for Donny Roberts.  Gordie, you really sounded great!  With Donny living in Phoenix, AZ it's not always a convenient thing to fly him into L.A. for every show.  I'm sure between both of these lead guitarists, the band will always be rockin' and have their bases covered.  I wonder who we'll see at the next gig?

I also want to thank Mel Gooden for helping out with the bands merchandise and Benwa for taking all the live photos of the show.  All your time and energy is very much appreciated!

Thanks everyone for the great turn out and I hope to see you all again soon at the September 1st show at the Gig on Melrose!  -Amy C.-

On Father's Day, Sunday, June 20th at 11pm Los Angeles-based rock station 95.5 KLOS aired more songs from Timothy's new album "Grand References" including the song "Younger Day" which was written about his dad.  KLOS also played some songs from his father's album entitled "Younger Day".  Hope you tuned in!

What a great gift for Father's Day!  -Amy C.-

Thanks everyone for making it out to the CD release party on May 24th at Club Lingerie!  Timothy and his band performed the first nine songs from the new album "Grand References".  They even played the song "Where Will You Be" from the "Rip, Roll & Ride!" album as an encore.  The set truly rocked and with keyboardist Tommy Reeves sitting in adding piano and B3 organ, the band soared to an even higher level.  Thanks Tommy, you rock!  Hope to see you jamming with the band in the future.  Plenty of CD's were sold and I even saw some chicks sporting around the new "Grand References" baby doll T-shirts.

Thank you again 95.5 KLOS and Bill Hartew for putting Timothy's music on the air.  KLOS debuted the new album "Grand References" on Sunday, May 16th by playing the first five tracks.  They also promoted the CD release party and mentioned what stores are carrying Timothy's music.  KLOS has featured Timothy's music several times and even chose the band as the winner of the Garage Days contest back in August (which was sponsored by Guitar Center and 95.5 KLOS).  The band got to perform at the Anaheim Stadium between the Hollywood Allstar game and the Angels game!  It's great to have such a cool, legendary Los Angeles rock station be so supportive.  We can't thank you enough!

Keep your eye on the show schedule for the next TCB experience!  -Amy C.-

Timothy's long-awaited 4th album entitled "Grand References" is finally a reality!  The band has been working on the new CD for several months and has already been performing some of the new material live.  This album has songs for everyone.  Heartfelt songs like "Forever In Your Arms", "Don't Walk Away", and "One Small Miracle".  Rocker songs like "Can't You Feel My Heart", "Crime Of The Century", and "Younger Day" (written about Timothy's dad).  There are some feel-good songs, as I call them, like "The Closer I Get", and "I'm Doin' Alright" and Timothy also threw in the little ditty "Chico Come Home" which was written for the film "Where's Chico?"  Last but not least, let's not forget about the restaurant anthem that every server or bartender will appreciate "Hot Rolls".

To learn more just visit the music page.  We also have very cool "Grand References" baby doll T-shirts for chicks!  Check them out as well by clicking on the merchandise button.

So get your copy of Timothy's brand new album "Grand References" here online, at a store near you, or at the next show and remember if you don't tip 20%, you just might get a hot roll shoved up your ass!  -Amy C.-

Timothy just released a 24-song CD of his fathers music.  This CD entitled "Younger Day" is a compilation of all the 45 rpm records released by Vilas Craig spanning the years 1959 to 1965.

Vilas Craig, born in Richland County, Wisconsin, started singing and playing guitar early in life.  In 1958, he formed his first band named "The Kollege Kings."  The Kollege Kings were one of the first bands to play Rock n' Roll in Wisconsin.  In 1959, they recorded and released their first two original songs "Spring Fever" and "My One My Only Love" on a 45 rpm record.  In 1960, Vilas changed the bands name to Vilas Craig & The ViCounts and released several more records.  To learn more and to order your copy of the CD "Younger Day" visit www.vilascraig.com.  I promise you it's worth every penny!

Timothy's new CD should be out this month as well.  What a great way to kick off the new year with the release of both these new albums.

Like father like son!  -Amy C.-
