Terashain: News

Hello MUSICAL FRIENDS!
Hope this finds you all very well, and happy. I just wanted to let you all know what is happening in the TERASHAIN camp and also fill you in on some stuff you may find interesting in the ROCK WORLD!

First, Terashain has been booked to open up the SUMMER lineup at The Blooze! We will be rockin' in Summer on June 6th and 7th with "SUMMER BASH", and as usual, we are gonna make it a hell of a party, so mark your calendars now! Don't forget: When you come to a TERASHAIN show, you should plan on coming out for BOTH nights, because, unless vigorously requested, we WILL NOT REPEAT A SONG! You get two nights: (almost 8 hours) worth of Rock from the 70's/80's/90's and today... And we have even added some tunes since the April shows, so get your butt to the Blooze for both nights! More info, including a map can be found on the "SHOWS" page...

Some other Rock-n-Roll stuff I have found in my surf searches that you may find cool: Iron Maiden is back in America!!!!! They will be rockin Cricket Pavillion on May 26th! (Gotta see Eddie!)...Def Leppard will release a new CD on April 29th called "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge" - the first single "Nine Lives" features an unexpected guest singer: country crooner TIM McGRAW, and he sounds pretty cool rockin out with the Lepps. They are on tour with REO Speedwagon and Styx currently, and then will tour with former Vivian Campbell band Whitesnake later in the year, sorry no Phoenix dates yet.... Judas Priest will release "Nostradamus" on June 17th, and will bring the "Metal Masters Tour" to Phoenix at Cricket Pavillion on August 28th with Heaven and Hell, Motorhead, and Testament (WOW!)...Journey will release "Revelations" on June 3rd and will play Cricket Pavilion in Phoenix on October 3rd with Cheap Trick and Heart. This CD will feature new lead vocalist Arnel Pineda...And, Motley Crue will tour this summer with Buckcherry, Papa Roach, SIXX:A.M. and Trapt on the "CRUE FEST" tour! That will be a hot one for sure!
It's gonna be a hot summer for 80's hair bands. Don't let anyone tell you that this kind of music is dead and gone....that's a line a crap! More information on all of these bands can be found on their official websites that can be reached from our "LINKS" page!
Have a great April!
See you all soon...

Hey Gang! Happy Spring... Are you all recovered from the shows? We are still working on it! Good times.
We just wanted to let you know that you can go and check out a couple of articles written about the band in AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine. Big thanks to Kim Naugle for the interview and opportunity to grace the pages of this publication. Go to www.azweeklymagazine.com (click the "veiw online magazine") this week to see the show advertisement on Page 50. The new issue comes out on Thursday, and I will drop another news article to let you know what page we will be featured on then.
Thanks again for your friendship this last weekend! We are still on a big HIGH from all of that! YOU ROCK!
Rog/Terashain

I got home just after 4am on Sunday morning after unloading the equipment from the shows this weekend, and I couldn't sleep. You all just blew us away this weekend. I just can't find the words to thank you all enough for your support of this band, and for PACKING the Blooze and giving us one hell of a party! We had a good time, didn't we? Your emails and messages on MySpace are overwhelming. (And, YES, I will let Tevis know what you all think of his talented addition to this band!) Thanks, again friends! Stay tuned for future dates - we're gonna do this again real soon.
MUCH LOVE,
Rog, Dave, Lance, Tevis, and Mikee
TERASHAIN

Well, we've come down the the last week. Final preps will take place all this weekend here in OUR camp for the big premier next weekend. We've kept alot under wraps, but I will let you know that you will hear some new (and unexpected) bands in our cover list, such as:

AND, the TERASHAIN stuff has taken on a whole new spirit with the touch of Tevis Maloney on guitar... I just really think you're gonna witness the release of 9 months of pent up rock and rolll nuclear energy from five very enthusiastic musicians ON FIRE!
At least, I hope that's how it goes! My brain is filled with so many new lyrics and I'm just a touch nervous about my role, but I will make it work somehow.
I gotta tell ya, as hard as we have been working on this stuff, and as excited as we are to play our music, I think the most important and anticipated part of next weekend for US will be the time spent with YOU! Friends, you guys know that this is so much more than a rock band/fan relationship - at the risk of sounding cliche - it's a big family... and we have surely missed our FAMILY! We're coming home next weekend, and you'd better be there! Make some calls. Bring some friends. Put on your Terashain Tshirts and be ready to drance and party.
OH, and don't forget - only 3 more days for the "March Madness" sale on the BUY page! Get your loot!
We'll see you all REAL soon!
TERASHAIN

We are working very hard learning and rehearsing all of our material for you, and you are in for a hell of a ROCK SHOW!
We just cannot wait to see you all again. We hope you're planning to make it out, and even bring a few friends for the party!
Love ya all, and miss you.
Talk soon,
Rog/TERASHAIN

Hello FRIENDS!
It gives me GREAT pleasure to finally announce that TERASHAIN has been booked for the official "OVERHAUL - VACATION'S OVER" PARTY! We are honored to be starting this new chapter of this band on the weekend of BIKE WEEK at one of our favorite venues, THE BLOOZE. Dudes, and Dudettes - this one is gonna be the one that you DON'T want to miss. TERASHAIN will bring the new show out to the crowd at The Blooze on Friday, April 4th, and Saturday, April 5th. (See the shows page for details) We have added about 35 new tunes and one of Arizona's best guitarists, Tevis Maloney to the mix. Come out and hear the new TERASHAIN that we have been working so hard to OVERHAUL! This show is better than it's ever been, and it's not been an easy task keeping it all under wraps. We'll be bringing you more details about the party as the date draws near, so keep posted right here to terashain.com. We have missed you all more than you will ever know. All of this time away from playing LIVE for you has made us feel like Laurel without Hardy, like Lucy without Ethel, like Nacho's without cheese, like Lance without a cold Corona... Ahhhh, you get the picture!
Have a GREAT weekend, and we'll see ya all soon!

...besides the freezing cold temps... a BIG announcement is coming... I can just feel it... stay tuned!

From all of us in TERASHAIN, a very Happy, healthy, fun and prosperous NEW YEAR to all of our friends, fans, and families! See you soon...

Hey All…
I’m in that Christmas sharing mood, so please bear with me for a moment while I share a thought or two…
I was just sitting in front of the Christmas tree on this Christmas Eve, heavily reflecting on what it all means to me this year (I guess the heavy reflecting COULD be from the delicious liquid spirits I’ve been sipping on…)… Anyway, I’m in my nice warm home, with a loving wife, wonderful baby boy running around in awe of all of the decorations we have in the house, and plenty of homemade treats on the table. I’m waiting for our extended family members to arrive to spend the night so that they can see Logan’s face in the morning when he notices the results of Santa’s arrival. I got to thinking about those maybe not quite as fortunate as I am this season. Specifically, those that are working for this country in a place far away from home, or anything CLOSE to comfort, loved ones, or children laughing. I’m not only very grateful to these folks for the sacrifices they are making for my freedom today, but for those soldiers throughout history that have made similar sacrifices (and for many, the ultimate sacrifice) so that I can enjoy this Holiday season the American way – COMPLETELY FREE! To those in the Armed Forces today, and to those who have ever served and sacrificed, and to the families that have all been affected – THANK YOU! From the bottom of my grateful heart – THANK YOU.

On behalf of all of us associated with Terashain, Have a very Merry Christmas.
Rog/TERASHAIN

TEVIS - On behalf of the guys in the band, the wives, and the Terashain faithful, Happy Birthday, buddy! We love ya, and hope you get some good loot! You deserve it...

Hey all..
We just posted some new pics taken at a recent rehearsal.



Just head over to our Photos page and check them out. We will have a much more formal photo shoot in the near future. We have been working hard, and things are progressing nicely. Thanks for the great comments lately concerning the site. We sure do appreciate you all keeping in touch with us.. it helps us to know that you aren't forgetting about us! Have a GREAT week... Talk soon...

Hello FRIENDS!
I just wanted to drop a quick line to you... As all of you know, we are in the process of updating our show, and therefore we are NOT playing live at this time. We estimate that the "overhaul" to our set list will be complete sometime in early 2008. Things are going GREAT. Working with Tevis has been incredible. He has already become a member of the family, and we don't even consider him the "NEW GUY" anymore. Can't wait for you all to meet him and hear him play. Keep posted here to the site for the results of an upcoming photo shoot. I'm also working on a special video detailing 17 years of TERASHAIN.
Alright, you all take care, and hopefully we will see you soon.
Rog/TERASHAIN

Hey all...
I'm kinda bummed out right now. I just found out that Kevin DuBrow's neighbors found him dead in his Las Vegas home on Sunday. He was 52 years old. Kevin was the lead singer for Quiet Riot, 80's hair metal band responsible for the revival of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noise". I had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin a few times over the last two years, after meeting him on an airplane after they had toured Europe. I will remember Kevin as that "cool" rock star that took the time to talk to a local-band singer from Phoenix, and treated me as if I was a long-time friend. You will be missed! We send condolences and prayers to Kevin's family, and close friends.

...for the freedoms that we have as Americans...for our families...for music...for incredible friends, such as yourself...and for MANY more things. From all of us in the band, and our wives, we wish you all the best for Thanksgiving and beyond. We are very thankful for your friendship. We sure do appreciate the fact that you are sticking with us through this "break", and we want you to know that we are working hard to make it all worth the wait! Tonight we raise a toast to you and your friendship - ONE, TWO, THREE - SALUTE!!!!!
Much love,

Hey Gang... Just a quick note to let you know we are thinking of you, and we miss you!
Rehearsals are going strong for our comeback, and Tevis is rockin! Look for a new set of photos in the very near future.
We want to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy Holiday. All of us in TERASHAIN certainly have so much to be thankful for.
We'd also like to send out a prayer for those who are far away from home defending our country this holiday. Thank You for all that you do.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
TERASHAIN

Hey Gang—it’s Mikeee checking in and giving a big HELLO to the Terashain faithful and HOWDY to those of you stopping by for the first time. NICE TO SEE ALL OF YOU.

Ok here we go. First off, I miss gigging and seeing everybody so don’t think that this is some sort of real bitchin vacation. I am feeling it like the rest of you. I am also going to assume that you all are up to date on Tevis coming on board—if not just scroll down a few entries until you see the news entry on him and get informed. Tevis is doing a great job absorbing all our material and we can’t wait to get back out with him and the new revamped show.

Nice to see a lot of you at the Blooze a few weeks ago. Our buds Shut Up & Drive were most awesome hosts and certainly gave us all a great evening of quality entertainment. Pound for pound they are my favorite local band right now—if you haven’t seen them yet then get yer ass out and see them. A special shout to their drummer Nick for his upcoming wedding—congratulations to you and your future bride!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing really new on the equipment front (Not that YOU care) but sometimes musicians can be obsessed with gear like I am. I am still in love with those sparkling Pearls and really don’t have any reason to change them out for something else. My taste in my snare sound has changed. Right now my ear likes the Pearl Ultracast over the Reference. That can change any day (go figure)

Alright that’s enough for now. Thanks for visiting. Miss you all. Don’t go out in the rain with just your socks on. Mikeeee

Yo friends and fans!
How are things going? Are you happy to be getting out the long sleeves? Have you been spending a lot more time outside lately? Yep, Fall has fallen upon us, and it's feeling pretty good. The only thing missing this time of year is TERASHAIN on a stage near you partying it up with hundreds of friends! We miss you all a bunch. But, things are moving ahead very well. Our boy, Tevis has been busting butt 'absorbing' our material, and we have been rolling right along. I'm not even gonna tell you much about how it sounds, because I want YOU to hear for yourself. All I'm going to say is this: YES!!!!!!!!!!!! And even more important than the sound is the fact that you would never know this guy hasn't been playing with us, and hanging out with us for the last 15 years! He's a great guy, and we can't wait for you to see what he does for this band.
Our boy Lance played in Anaheim, CA last night with his other band, Bang Tango. Lance and the boys opened up for Steven Adler (Guns 'n' Roses original drummer) and his band Adler's Appetite. Lance and Steven are actually good friends, which I think is completely COOL!
And Dave Hassie and Rog (me) turned 40 a few days ago (I'm 2 days older than Dave, dammit! LOL) and had a whole lot of fun with you all at the Blooze - what a HUGE surprise. Big thanks to Shut Up and Drive for rockin' the house and for being all around good friends, as usual.
Well, folks... keep tuned in right here for the latest, and drop us a line when you can. We are missing you guys horribly.
Take care, and have fun -
Rog/TERASHAIN

Hey ALL!
Let me tell ya, it gives me GREAT pleasure to be sharing some very good news with you all. After six solid months searching for our 5th member, we have made our choice!
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Tevis Maloney!





Tevis comes to us from the popular blues-rock band "Poppy and the Usual Suspects". He brings a lot of experience, expertise, humor, comraderie and enthusiasm to the lineup. Rehearsals begin this week to get our "OVERHAUL" show complete. We will keep you posted on the progress. Feel free to send Tevis a warm welcome via the contact part of this website. Big, Huge THANKS go out to all of the new friends we met through our recent guitar interviews/auditions. We really had a tough choice for this, as you all stepped up to the plate and gave your all. We are proud to know you guys! Well done.
And now we look to the future of TERASHAIN. We will be in rehearsals for the next few months learing a crapload (about 80 songs) of new cover tunes to bring you a new TERASHAIN show in early 2008. Stay tuned right here to your TERASHAIN connection for all of the latest news! Stay safe and healthy, and we will see ya real soon...
