Message:   I am not just saying this because you are my friend, but you guys were so **** good tonight!! You are way cool, and way better than I thought...and I mean that in a very good way. I am totally impressed, and as you guys were playing, from what I can tell, everybody in the place was focussed on you guys. I noticed a middle-aged guy in the bar airdrumming, and I saw a whole lot of heads bobbing throughout most of the set. I am telling you...you guys got it!! In fact, both Katie and I agreed that we haven't had that much fun at a concert in a long time. You guys were tight, the music has a bounce to it, which is totally cool, and I am telling you, if there was someone from a record co. there tonight, you would have had a deal...I swear I am not exxagerating, either. Katie and I both said that we are pretty much at the stage where we are hard to impress, but ****, you guys impressed us in such a cool way. Rock on, duder!! You should be totally proud of what you did. Congrads, you guys really are that good...keep it going!!

Kurt (and the very excited Katie)

Message:   I happened to be at your show last night at the Webster and I was blown away. What I saw and heard surpassed anything I could have imagined! The energy from all of you was so contagious. It moved through the crowd and captured everyone present. I especially liked the professionalism that your bass player showed during technical difficulties. His obvious talent and passion drove your songs so skillfully. You were all so amazingly put together...it was like you had been doing this for years. And your singer..I could never say enough good things. He was so much fun to watch as well as listen to. I am definetly going to the Toad's show and I have been raving about you to anyone who will listen. Given the reaction of the crowd, I have no doubt that you will have a large following in no time.

Message:   Once again you guys did a great job. It was nice to see some friendly faces at this show. I don't know how you guys did so well with the game going on and in extra innings but you kept the crowd into the music. Thanks for the kind words for us during your set. We can't wait to play with you guys again.

(P.S. Nice pic on the first page.) More should be on the way soon from Toad's too.

Message:   Here's what "lumper" from Pyramis said about AGE OF ANCHORS and its performance on 3-28-04 at the Webster. I am copying this from our guestbook:

"to say you guys rock is less to the point, your originality and stage presence and belief in your music is fantastic, even when some may not "get it" you take it to the level you want it at and make everyone rise to it, nice work, hope to play more gigs with you guys."

Subject:   Hartford Advocate Review from September 9, 2004
Reviewing:   AoA at Arch Street Tavern on 09-03-04
Message:   "AOA played a set of slightly funky and quirky power-chord rock that was a little reminiscent of latter-day Clutch. It was nice to see a band not influenced by hair metal, nu-metal or some other boring variation of these two styles of music. It was a little refreshing."
