A NOTE FROM SISKY’S GOOD HAND

adam — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:52:17 +0000

Hey there my friends.

As some of you may have heard there was a freak accident last Wednesday night.

I will be undergoing a surgery tomorrow morning and will unfortunately be unable to accompany the band on the upcoming trip to The United Kingdom & Belgium.

I had really been looking forward to these shows and I cannot express the disappointment I feel.

In times of need it is nice to know that I have so many beautiful and amazing friends I can turn to for support.

My bestest buddy the Butcher will be playing bass for me at these shows. He has been perhaps my biggest musical inspiration over the last several years and I know those attending the shows will be amazed by his bass playing chops.

You must now be asking yourself “Butcher?? Playing bass?? Who is going to play drums????”

The answer to your question, the amazingly talented Nash Breen will be the man for the job.

Nash plays in band called Armor For Sleep and he is one of the best drummers I have ever had the privilege of knowing. We have done many tours together over the years and he has become one of our best friends.

I really wish I could come along to see the show and to say hi to anyone who is going, but my Doc told me it’s in my best interest not to leave the country.

I love you guys and appreciate your understanding. Wish me well!

Love, Adam

GREETINGS FROM OKLAHOMA

adam — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:33:00 +0000

Its Adam T. Siska

Today is the seventh day of The Snakes & Suits Acoustic Tour.

So far, the tour has been nothing but spectacular.

William has been performing solo playing songs from all three of our albums as well as some exciting covers.

It has been great to watch him play every day, I think this tour has showcased what a great singer/ songwriter/ entertainer he really is.

We have made a great friend out of Evan Taubenfeld, who is an extraordinarily talented individual. He is a very kind person, not to mention the fact that he possesses the power of MAGIC!

Evan is constantly making things disappear and reappear as well as an assortment of other tricks which have blown all of our minds.

We are blessed with his presence.

Yesterday we were joined by a great band called This Providence, who will be joining us for the majority of the rest of the tour.

We have met them a few times when they have come to see us at the Showbox in Seattle, and they are great people.

We are looking forward to getting to know them while we travel this country once again.

Later on this month we will be flying down into South America to play a show in Santiago, Chile. This is truly a dream come true. We have been trying for quite some time to make it down to South America and couldn’t be more excited for the chance to meet and play music for all of the wonderful people who will be joining us that day.

A big thanks to everyone who has made it out to the shows this week as well as any one who is planning on coming to upcoming dates.

See you soon!

With love,
ADAM XOXo

SONG OF THE DAY: Woody Guthrie- This Land is your land.

Name drop of the day: Bill Maher

Greetings from Poughkeepsie

William and I are three days into our acoustic tour with Alex DeLeon and Ian Crawford from The Cab, and it is certainly off to a great start. I’ve been very impressed with how much talent Alex and Ian have. I think we will all learn a lot from each other over the next month.

William has been playing a slew of songs from all of our albums and even some unreleased stuff from the past. I haven’t been playing so far on this tour but have just come along for the moral support of the other guys and to say hi to all of you. Or maybe I have come just to do the high pitched “woooo!” after the first chorus of About A Girl. Either way I know this month will be full of many good times and we look forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as coming to some new towns that we have never been to. Thanks for all the support, this is going to be a blast!

Love, Adam taylor S.

Sorry I Was sleeping…

adam — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:20:40 +0000

I was just awoken by my friend Alex Suarez’s nasty little cat.

I’m sleeping in his closet for a few days.

“I got a letter in the mail, the sender failed to let me know where it came from.”

Opened it up and sure enough I was informed that Fast Times at Barrington High was ranked number 46 in Rolling Stones top 50 records of 2008 and About A Girl was number 39 on their top singles list. I think that’s pretty cool.

2008 was another great year for music and things are only moving forward.

I hope you get a guitar for Christmas.

Love,

Adam Taylor Siska, the only living boy in new York

See you tomorrow Orlando

Winter Passing

adam — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:08:56 +0000

Hey there its me, Adam T. Siska
I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I had all my relatives packed into one house which was definitely pretty crazy, but lots of fun too.

Today we have released a brand new song called “Winter Passing” on the iTunes music store. GO CHECK IT OUT! This song is very special to us because it was written and recorded in the back of our big black tour bus during the “Bill & Trav’s Bogus Journey Tour.”

I remember tracking my bass in the parking lot of the Sokol Auditorium in Omaha…man that tour was a lot of fun.

Anyway, we really hope you enjoy the song as much as we enjoyed making it.
Jack the Camera Guy is back from his cruise and we are all really excited about the upcoming shows with Fall Out Boy this week.
I look forward to seeing some of you there!

Love, your good friend, Adam Siska
