Sometimes you're the bug, and sometimes you're the windshield!!!  We're feeling a bit like the bug... We were originally supposed to play this Friday night at Smokey's Bar & Grill in Mesa.  Unfortunately, Smokey's has closed their doors temporarily, and it looks as though it may be a while before they are back in business.  I really do not know all of the details, but I do know that we will not be able to play our show there this Friday.  PLEASE accept our apologies for the schedule change.  We know that it has been a while since we have been on stage for you, and TRUST ME, we are dying to party with you all again!  Please keep your eyes peeled to this site for any last minute show additions.....


Word has it that The Blooze Bar will be re-opening it's doors in mid-September!! How cool is that?  I don't know about you folks, but I am missing that place big time right now.  We will let you know if Terashain will take part in any re-opening ceremonies or shows.  Thanks again to all that made it out to Joe's Grotto last month, or to ANY of the fund raisers for the staff of The Blooze.


We hope book another show real soon to replace this Smokey's gig.  Thanks for your patience!

It's about time this band put out a live CD and DVD that captures the energy and excitement that we have all come to know as the TERASHAIN live show! We need YOU to come out and make as much noise between tunes as you CAN so we can share the TERASHAIN experience with the rest of the world! This live CD will be marketed all over the country. We even have a bit of a fan base in Europe and in Asia as well, and they are waiting for a live CD from this band. The plan is to record on September 18th at Club Red (Tempe) and then to take a bit of time to mix and master it and then it's off to be produced and should be in your hot little hands sometime in the early FALL!!!!  We are also planning to shoot video for the show to be added with previous footage for a LIVE DVD, and we will be shooting interviews with all of YOU to be added to the footage.  ALL of your favorite TERASHAIN tunes from the "Truth" CD and the "Dawns Early Life" CD as well as the new song, 'Alibi's' are in the plans to be included... and of course all of YOU screaming your asses off between songs! We will be opening the show for Bang Tango that night, and it will be a HUGE party. We will bring you more details to the 'Shows' page as they become available! We think this will be a GREAT way to celebrate 20 years of ROCKING Arizona. Thanks again for all of your support! Rog/Tevis/Dave/JQ/Lance Terashain

Tons of Blooze Bar fans turned out throughout the day to pay respects and to help support the re-build of The Blooze bar today.  The bands started at Noon and ran all day and night until 1am, and what a show it was.  Every genre that Tumbleweed has supported and put up on his stage was represented today, and there was some great talent.  We proudly took the stage at 3pm sharp and pounded out a 45 minute set, kicking off with our new tune "Alibi's" and cranking right through with cover tunes and originals.  What a great time.  We hang out with old friends, met some new friends, and got a chance to catch up with some of our local band brothers and sisters.  GREAT fun today.  We've posted pics from the event on the 'Photos' page.  If you missed it, you have other chances to pay tribute to The Blooze Bar at some other venues around town in the coming weeks.  You will find an earlier post on this page (pan down!) that will contain much of the information.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions, and we will try to steer you in the right place!


Thanks again for coming out!  We will see you all again real soon...

Well, by now most of you have heard the sad news about The Blooze Bar.  It's been all over the local news today, and I'm even proud to say that one station called it a "local favorite watering hole"... I think that fits!  The Blooze Bar burned early this morning as a result of an electrical fire in the attic.


I'm lucky enough to say that I've probably sung my ass off on that stage NO LESS than 250 nights @ 4 hrs/night, totalling 1000 hours.  This band has probably played there to AT LEAST 5,000 faces over the last 8 years.  No doubt that we've made friendships there that will last LONGER than this band has been around (20 years).  And I think that maybe I've consumed no less than 30 gallons of beer there.  (I'm being VERY conservative on that one!!)  There have been weddings there.  Marty (from Rock Addix) and his wife Tina just recently renewed their wedding vows there.  Dave and I (Roger) celebrated our 40th Birthday Party there with so many of you.  We rang in 2009 AND 2010 there with all of you in HELLACIOUS parties.  There is a very good possibility that at least one child has been conceived there. (No, not MY kids, and I DON'T care to elaborate....) And we have played "Rebel Yell" in that place WAY more times than I even WANT to remember!


These memories are a HUGE part of the TERASHAIN history.  I know it sounds hoaky, but the place (not unlike on the series CHEERS) really was a personality itself.  It was like an old buddy that you could always depend on.  You were always treated right in there, and it just felt like "Home".  I've ALWAYS looked forward to our parties at The Blooze.  The weekend just never could come around soon enough.


And, although we mourn the passing of this AWESOME establishment, the members of this band look forward to the FUTURE of The Blooze Bar.  The magic CAN be passed on to whatever Tumbleweed cooks up as he sorts through the ashes, and begins to rebuild.  It's up to all of us to help keep it alive.


Thanks for the memories, Old Buddy Blooze!  


And, we welcome, and toast to a NEW FRIEND, and look forward to breaking the place in!!! Raise your glasses, friends...


One, Two, Three..... SALUTE!!!!


Much love and prayers to Tumbleweed, Alayna, JD and staff.  We are here for you always, as you have been for us.


Stay tuned for Blooze Benefit concert information coming soon.

I just found out that Mark passed away this morning, and we are all really bummed. He was more than just an engineer to us, he was a good friend. Mark spent so much time with us on our first studio recorded CD. He was a patient, creative, and hilarious guy! As Lance's cousin, Mark was so supportive of everything that Lance did. The two of them shared that common thread of being in the 'Music Biz', and were usually seen at Family functions, or Terashain events in the corner, comparing notes. Mark made the 'Truth' project a complete blast, and we will miss him tremendously. Please join us in keeping Marks family in your thoughts and prayers. RIP, friend!

1942 - 2010]]> http://terashain.com/news.html#90 Mon, 17 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700 The Official Terashain Website - Terashain - News Yeah, you did it again. http://terashain.com/news.html#89 Picture it. The lights go out. The crowd goes wild. Smoke fills the stage. Our extended version of "Bearded Dragon" plays as an intro for the show. I'm standing off the side of the stage, and I'm thinking, "Ooooo, this is gonna be fun!" My four best buddies are straping on their instruments, gearing up for a serious release. Our friends (some that have been on a 20 year journey with us, and some new), family and fans stand waiting in Club Red for some good ole American melodic rock.... It's time to play!!!
Friends, it just doesn't get any better than this. This is the pay-off to a long road filled with lengthy practices, time away from family, and serious hard work. And you give us this reward... YOU!!!
We had such a great time Saturday, and YOU are to thank. I can only hope that you all had HALF as much fun as we did.
Big thanks to Bang Tango for having us play, and to Pat Driscoll (one of the best soundmen in the business!), and to the whole crew at Club Red. I don't remember a showcase club EVER treating us so well.
But the biggest thanks go to you! All of you that come out - whether it be across town for ya, or just next door - you find a way to BE THERE, and that's why we do it, and that's why you can bet your ass that we will continue to do it!
We love you, more than you'll ever know.
So again, thanks for the party, and we'll see you next month!
