I have just been informed by SOMEONE that the whole ordeal with Tyler and the scooters (see March 10th) was a rumor..... I will be more careful where I get my information from now on.... I (and everyone else involved in this situation) am sorry if I have caused any confusions or caused rumors to be spread. And that's all I have to say about that.

April 6->
Underdog has just been released at Audio A's latest single. Start requesting it! Rumor has it, that after the tour is over, the guys are going to record a video for Mighty Good Leader and make that their next single.

March 10->
As some of you may know, one of the big attractions at the Underdog show is the "Mosquito Mobiles" (aka, the scooters). At the beginning of shows, the band members usually ride out on their Mosquito Mobiles to the delight of the crowd. But a few nights ago, in Roanoke, the stage they were playing on was a little bigger than normal. So Tyler figured he'd ride out on his scooter a little faster than normal. Needless to say, he ended up having to slam on the brakes, flew over the handle bars, crashing into Ben's drum kit. Tyler and the drum kit were both fine, but don't count on seeing the Mosquito Mobiles at many more of the shows!
Aside from that, I've been told that Bob and Jeanette's new baby (expected somewhere around May) is going to be a girl! Congrats!!

Major news from ForeFrontRecords.com This is a newflash taken straight from their site.
More news about the Underdog Tour to be announced within the upcoming weeks! Stay tuned!

Nashville, TN - Wednesday, December 8, 1999 - ForeFront Records announced Tuesday evening at an event held at BMI that recording artist Audio Adrenaline received RIAA gold-certification for their third studio album Bloom. Also announced was the re-signing of their contract to ForeFront Records and a distribution deal that was inked between ForeFront and the band's new label, flickerrecords.com.

"This is a huge achievement for Audio Adrenaline. It's an incredible accomplishment to sell over 500,000 units in the CBA market, and these guys have worked extremely hard for this. It's been wonderful to see how their ministry and music have grown over the last nine years. With the new ForeFront team in place, we are looking forward to building upon Audio Adrenaline's success," ForeFront President Greg Ham said.

In addition to Audio Adrenaline's RIAA "gold record," the band announced their re-signing to a long-term recording agreement with ForeFront Records and a long-term music publishing agreement with EMI Christian Music Publishing.

"We've had an amazing ride with ForeFront over the years. We've been surrounded by a great group of people who have supported us as a band, and encouraged us in our ministry. It's exciting to get a gold record, and we're just as excited about furthering our relationship with ForeFront for years to come," Audio Adrenaline member Mark Stuart expressed.

As part of the new agreement, band members Mark Stuart, Will McGinniss, and Bob Herdman signed a distribution deal with the label for their new venture flickerrecords.com which will go through Chordant Distribution. Although all three members will be involved in the visionary plan of the label, Herdman will be primarily focusing on the day-to-day operations.

"It's great to be able to continue working with Greg Ham and our family at ForeFront Records with this new venture. We've known Greg for over 10 years and he's been so willing to help us out with our careers and ministry. And now, he's giving us guidance to do the best we can to find artists with great talent and goal-oriented ministry. Not to mention, Chordant is the biggest and best distribution company out there," Bob Herdman said.

"We are looking forward to working with Audio Adrenaline in this new endeavor with flickerrecords.com. These guys have worked hard over the years and they know first-hand what it is to develop new talent. This will be an extension of a very successful band that should continue the expansion and growth of their influence on the youth of our culture," ForeFront Records Vice President Allan Hardin added.

I've heard from Mark@ForeFront that Audio A's new song "Get Down" (from the upcoming album) is becoming so popular at concerts that it has replaced "Big House" as their final encore song! I've found the lyrics to "Get Down" here they are:

Lavishly our lives are wasted
humbleness is left untasted
You can't live your life to please yourself.
That's a tip from my mistakes
Exactly what it doesn't take
To win you've got to come in last place
To live your life you have to lose it
And all the loser's get a crown.

I get down, and He lifts me up.
I get down, and He lifts me up.
I get down, and He lifts me up.

All I need's another day
Where I can't seem to get away
From the many things that drag me down
I'm sure you've had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
From burdens you can't carry all
Alone in our weakness He is stronger
In our darkness He shines through
When your crying, He's your comfort
When you're lonely, He's holding you.

This valley
Is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out
For mercy, Lord
And He lifts me up again
We get down, and he lifts us up.
