An Elm Treason Birthday!
Sunday the 5th is the birthday of Elm Treason’s own Andy Roman.
It’s the next in a long line of 25th birthdays he’s been celebrating for years now.
Songwriter, guitarist, percussionist, bassist, vocalist and intravenus coffe guzzler… Hoping for many more. 🙂
Band update? Anything good?
Mixing, mixing, mixing…. and more mixing… Did we mention mixing?
Yes, we are preparing audio mixes for our next album “BARE TONES.” (You’d think two guitars and vocals would be a snap, right? Ahh, silly us. We are but fools in a grander game…)
Video editing for the DVD and Bluray starts in earnest next week.
Also… preparing all the extra goodies we have planned for this release … designing t-shirts, buttons, stickers, etc… It’s amazing how much time this stuff takes.
That’s what was happening in Elmville.
Birth Names anyone?
Your Input: Best Band Logo?
Really really really hard to pick one. MANY classics. But DAMN, the Stones’ logo is outstanding. No words necessary there. Just a tongue. Kinda cool. Thoughts?
A Personal New York Memory
Feeling a tad nostalgic for the New York we used to know. A shot of Shea Stadium in the foreground with the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center way off in the background. Both no longer exist. 🙁
**EXCLUSIVE VIDEO**
Last week, we shared our first music video from our brand new STUDIO ALBUM (The Voice of Treason) called “GRINS OF NOTHING”
We hope you dug it.
Now we share the first lyric video from THE VOICE OF TREASON, a song called “(Having It) All Ways.”
Enjoy.
(And please, feel free to leave comments).

REMEMBER WHEN
How many remember THIS classic tag line: “Is it LIVE or is it Memorex?” We were just kids, but it STILL resonates!

I like the Zeppelin one,and Deep Purple… They’re all good,really!!
Always loved that “DP” logo. VERY MUCH.
The words to this song are absolutely phenomenal a complete verbal masterpiece! I absolutely love how you have taken well known common phrases and thoughts of consciousness and shown the contradictions of our world and I have to admit the last line always makes me giggle.
Sorry for being redundant but it is important to know that I have been totally blind for 30 years and lost my site at the age of 27. Why because although my visual memory of photographs paintings peoples faces and places that I have been is still very clear to me yet I have been a music lover since I was a toddler and I am ashamed to say that I paid very little attention to graphics. So I can recall very few album covers and even less band logos yet the Rolling Stones logo stays fixed in my mind this might be because I have always loved that band and it is an awesome logo. Luckily I now have a friend who is extremely motivated by graphics and I also know what I like so I have to say that the elm trees and logo is fabulous so much so that it shares my morning coffee my evening beverages and can be worn on my person Winter spring summer or fall! As a matter of fact the album album cover to rhyme and treason will be making its public debut on my T-shirt this Saturday as I am hopefully spending the afternoon sitting on a patio listening to some blues!
Most important message of all a happy happy happy birthday to you Andy! I hope that it is a day filled with sunshine smiles music and of course some puppy love from Max! I will be raising my elm trees and mug to you at midnight and wishing for many more years with you on this planet and elm trees and to fill our soul! 🍻
Hi Shelley! VERY PLEASED you dig (Having It) All Ways as much as you do. It’s very encouraging. VERY heartwarming to know one of our tunes impacts you that way.
I (Andy) am one of those people who really doesn’t dislike too many band logos, but the ones that always stand out to me are the ones that do not employ names or words. Just imagery of some kind. I think that’s why I have such a liking for the Rolling STones logo…or the Grateful Dead’s.
Thank you sincerely for the birthday wish, Shelley. 🙂
Happy birthday Andy!!
Very kind, Mark! Not sure how “happy” it was, but it was DEFINITELY a birthday! 🙂 Thank you, brother.
Happy Birthday Andy
Thank you sincerely, John.
Happy birthday Andy!
Band logo’s, love them all.
Really enjoying the news letters and look forward to them every week, cant wait for new album coming.
Thank you, Shirley. It was a busy birthday. I essentially worked through it, stopping occasionally for a slice of cake.
I tend to agree with you in that there a very few band logos that I DON’T like. 🙂
Truly appreciate your enthusiasm for the forthcoming album.
You forgot Yes,designed by Roger Dean…
Thanks, Michael. If I (Andy) had designed the logo image, I’d have definitely used YES. It’s always been one of my favorites. Stylish. Incredibly recognizable.
Happy Birthday, Andy! I am still enjoying my birthday since the 1st of Septembuary. I actually saw a live band on a patio for the first time since “the thing.” Just a bar band of old guys like me covering all the standard bar band repertoire but it was nice to see the live thing. One guy in the band had a 1952 Strat and I showed him a photo of my 1949 Gibson during the break. Old guys talking music gear, you gotta love it (if you are one of them, lol.)
Thanks for the birthday greeting.
Yes, talking music gear is a past time for which there can be no sufficient time limit. Love it. Immensely.
Missing from the list of real names of rockers: Reginald Dwight.
Absolutely right. Not sure how I (Andy) forgot that one. Good call.
I just noticed that you posted Having It All Ways on YouTube on my birthday. Nice!
Happy Belated Birthday, Al! I (Andy) would like to say it was planned that way…. so I’ll go with that. (It helps the altruistic image). 🙂
Happy birthday, Andy!!!!
I would say that my favorite logos shown are zeppelin and the dead but they are all pretty awesome 😎
Hope you guys have a great week!
Thanks for the birthday wish, Joe. Basically, I worked through it.. but the cake was nice. I agree with you….just about all the logos are amazing in their own ways. I especially have an affinity for the logos that DON’T use words.
