So What's Next?

Greetings to you all,

As I sit here typing on my laptop at 2 in the morning I am left pondering what’s next for Desolate Rage? All the blogs prior to this one have touched upon our new album and the process of recording it. Well it has now been released as of Jan 31st 2014 and we had a CD release party at a local club with all our friends in attendance. It went very well considering the weather was shit! Got to love living in Canada...So now that the build up to the release has come and gone, what’s next? In the short term we are playing in Kitchener, Ontario this coming Saturday for the first time. A show put together through the wonders of the internet. A band out in Sudbury (approx 6 hrs north of Toronto) reached out to us and got us on the bill. Small fucking world eh? One can’t help but wonder what other surprises are in store for us down the road? The internet opens up a whole new world for us all. This week we discovered that our music has reached parts of Europe such as Germany, The Czech Republic, Norway and a few others countries. Not to mention Russia, Great Britain and the US too. This is a total mind fuck let me tell you. People in these countries are also following our blog. Who knew? I thought no one read this shit! LOL 

The discovery of all this has been a humbling one to say the least. It means more to us than you know the fact that others around the world give a fuck.

 Looking back at our less than glamorous beginnings of being a garage band to playing every dive in the city we have come a long way. Obtaining modest success a few years ago under a different name to watching it all crumble before our very eyes to now having our music being heard half way around the world has been one hell of a journey. There are thousands of bands out there in the same boat as us, past and present. It’s a tough gig being in a band these days. The competition is insane. And it’s all a crap shoot really. One lucky break and you might be on your way to success or one crappy moment away from throwing in the towel and giving up for good. At least in this point of my life I can say that I accomplished something worth while. I play in a band, we write our own music and people around the world have heard it. That is fucking cool. And I don’t give a damn who disagrees with that. To me that is all the success I need. 

So what else awaits us? Writing new material, perhaps? Touring, fucked if I know? More adversity? Hope not! Either way we are ready for what awaits.

It has been an awesome journey to this point. Let’s see what’s in store for us in the future! To all the people near and abroad on behalf of us all @ Desolate Rage Thank you for your support.
