How have you found your time on SellaBand?

It's been a very positive and uplifting experience. I love the interactive involvement that fans can have with the bands and musicians that they believe in.

It's also fascinating to watch SellaBand shape the music industry, evolve and adjust to the internet and new technologies.

Any regrets?

None.

You’re at almost $18,000, how hard is it to keep the right spirit on the road to $50k?

It is not hard at all. I know we will make the 50K and Rome wasn't built in a day. We are patiently biding our time to be the biggest band in the world!

What are your initial thoughts on ArenaFest 2009?

I think it’s a wonderful idea and opportunity to get unsigned bands into Arenas and in front of thousands of people. And, I signed up Civilized Tears on the first day! I personally believe that Civilized Tears are an Arena/Stadium rock band.

What will your SellaBand Album sound like?

Beautiful Rock !

Why should people ‘believe’ in Civilized Tears?

People should believe in us because we have created a solid foundation, built upon sincere, strong song-writing, passion, determination, careful business planning, hard work and uplifting live performances. Believers will not been disappointed!
