Hey all!

I am thrilled to announce that the official Ed Kowalczyk -FULL BAND- lineup is confirmed! It is as follows:

Ramy Antoun - Drums
Chris Heerlein - Bass
Adam Kowalczyk - Rhythm Guitar/Background Vocals
James Gabbie - Lead Guitar

(PS-if you've become a member of the EKL Fanclub or have otherwise heard/seen the slideshow video for "ZION", then you've already heard my boys rock it cuz this is the band that KICKED ASS on my album last fall in Austin!)

I will post more on each dude soon and will keep you posted as always on tour dates as they come together. GET READY!

peace, single origin espresso, and love to you
ed k.

I agree that Ed's album will be what the next album was to become. Nice to see Adam in his band too. The business move to add Adam to Live's touring regimine was a wise one as it allowed Adam to learn all the Live songs so when Ed decided to do what he did, he's be able to seamlessly move into being solo with folks who can play the Live songs. The secret recording contract cements in my mind the backhanded move to stab the other guys and for Ed to try to finalize to things his way. The fact that the rest of the band was basically rendered mute to Ed's wishes to continue the band.....was to play out for only so long. I've been in the notion for over 10 years that Ed would splinter the band with some action....when I came to read what's happened in the past year.........sad but oh so true. IT all fits, some will argue the point but.......frontmen and egos have a large historical track record with these things.

I'll buy both records, but I will be very partial to a certain 'few'.

Adam seems a bit bitter to the actions of The Gracious Few. Check out some of his twitter comments and you can see what I mean. Maybe there is more to the story than TGF are letting on.

I do know that TGF didn't attend Adam's wedding, which I found extremely odd after working 10 years with the guy. There seems to be bad feelings all around.

Oh yes, there is ALWAYS more than one side to any story. Which is why I won't take any of the TGF member's past bellyaching and bitching on face value as objective truth.
