"R&R"

Not Rock & Roll, but Rest & Relaxation...

Ha. As if.

While we are currently experiencing some downtime from public appearances, there's a lot going on in the inner sanctum at No-Star Nation HQ. We are booking gigs, working on a new CD, planning a big benefit show (and a wedding), and we have been interviewing/auditioning long-term subs. There are a couple of big announcements that will be made soon, so stay-tuned.

One we can clue you in on is that we are about to experience the fruition of over 20-years of planning and dreaming--The Batcave Recording Studio will be a reality in the very near future. It will be a place to record our future albums and solo projects, produce and present other media ventures in-the-works, a rehearsal space for Gregg Juke & The Mighty No-Stars, and for some very special recording artists that are not in the band, but are definitely part of the Nocturnal Productions/No-Stars family, a place to record future releases with a maximum of soul and vibe, and a minimum of muss, fuss, and budget-busting, eye-popping bills. This will be the spot for those that want to make music, and are ready to move beyond the home studio environs, but are not interested in the big commercial studio headaches. Of course, you'll have to find it first, which means you're either a very special guest, or you're Ras Al Ghul.

Another news flash of interest: Gregg Juke & The Mighty No-Stars have contributed a track to a new benefit compilation CD called "Jammin' for the Cure," featuring many of your favorite Buffalo & WNY Blues artists, with proceeds going towards breast cancer research for a cure and prevention. Check it out at www.wnyblues.org .

More later, keep the faith.

God Bless & Good Blues,
