LILLIAN AXE Guitarist: 'Never Again Will I Wait Three Years To Release Another Record'

October 6, 2005

LILLIAN AXE/NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE guitarist Steve Blaze has posted the following message on LILLIAN AXE's official web site:

"Well, where do I start? As you all know, life has changed fairly dramatically over the last five weeks for lots of people. Things have changed inside of my head as well. I have come to some great realizations about mankind and life itself, some good some bad. I can't get into it right now because it would take days to cover it all. Maybe we can set up an online chat soon.

"On the NEAR LIFE front, we are bummed to report that our latest greatest addition to the band, Richard Kendrick [guitar], is moving to Belgium for a year to a year and a half in the next two months. He has added so much to NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE and complements us so well as a player and a person. We will continue on by having either Sam Poitevent or Bob Bearden, the original second guitarist, sitting in with us. On Oct. 22nd at Click's in Baton Rouge, Richard will play his last show with us for a while. However, we will not miss a step. We are in pre-production for a new NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE album now. It will no doubt be our finest album yet. I feel the intensity of creative outpouring at this moment in my life. We will be revamping some of the old NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE songs as well as some brand new things. Richard will record from Belgium. We need to spread the word about NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE and get the music out there to labels, websites and magazines. Don't forget the websites esp. www.nearlifeexperience.com www.nlesecretsociety.com www.lillianaxe.com www.steveblaze.com. Also there is a NEAR LIFE EXPERIENCE page on MySpace. It is the time to kick things into high gear. Never again will I wait three years to release another record.

"On the LILLIAN AXE front, we are finishing and mixing the 'Waters Rising' album. I am very pleased with the sound. It's different and full. The songs are deep and timeless. Derrick sounds amazing as do my bandmates. We promise to tour as much as possible. There are cities all across the country we plan on hitting this coming year. Start spreading the word. Email every website and call every radio station you can and put the bug in everyone's ear.

"I have started writing my second solo album as well. You can imagine what this one will be like.

"We will commence prepping for the 'Tao of M' in November as the French Quarter [of New Orleans] rebuilds.

"I miss the way things where but the future holds hope and brightness. Stay strong and trust in God and each other. Even though so many people have disappointed me in this hurricane aftermath, many more have shown amazing kindness and consideration."
