Check the web site kids! It's official! We are making a new record! We already started with the preliminary demoing of tunes and I'm hard at work putting stuff together. I'm hoping to have it released this year if possible. I've been writing my ass off and there's a ton of ideas and completed...

Hey guys, We are still alive! It's been a rough couple of years for us and so much has happened. Ed got divorced. Sean got married and had a baby. Ted moved 2 1/2 hours away, got divorced and got remarried 6 months ago. Robin and I seperated for a 1 1/2 and I almost lost my house. It's been...

Hey everyone! After a long and draining battle with Siteleader.com, we finally have our site released and back up and running! Unfortunately, we lost our old url, www.theoasis.cc which is written on all of our albums, but shit happens. In order to get out of the deal with Sitleader.com we had...

I just to reiterate what Ed was saying; it's always so great for us to be able to meet with you guys and gals who have supported us for so long and Friday night was no exception. I met a lot of great people that traveled far and wide to see us play and I hope no one was disappointed. I myself...

:mad:

Bob will be doing a 1/2 hour set at the Nevada County Music Expo in Grass Valley for those of you who live in the area. Bob is an old friend of Enchant's and played bass on The Lizard, worked on Xen with Paul Craddick and engineered the Magna Carta tribute albums that we were involved with. For...

Enchant to do headline show with Redemption, Zero Hour and Timeline! We’ll be playing almost 2 hours of music and have decided to really mix it up, playing songs that have never been played live as well as some new material and a few favorites! Be sure to catch this rare performance if you can...

Nice call all around! I think it's interesting how many facets of the bands sound has been chiseled by some band or singer over the years and you guys obviously have your finger on the pulse! Here's my take: Early on when we were a 4 peice: Benignus, Paul, Brain and Myself our influences...

Hey Y'all, I thought I would let you know that I have a personal My Space Music page that has demos... yes, demos of material I've been working on for my "some day" solo record. Most of it is sort of a rock/pop stuff at this point and it's a lot less complicated than the Enchant music that...

Ok, this has gotten out of hand here! Here's the deal: Ted lives 2 hours north of where I live, Bill an hour south, Sean 40 minutes west and Ed's about 25 minutes away from me. To get together to rehearse for a gig has been quite challenging since Ted moved north, that being said, we are still...

Fernandes, while being relatively cheap, are doing some pretty cool stuff with guitars these days. Yes, I still love my Tom Andersons and if they ever offered me an endorsement I'd jump on it in a second, but I wanted to try something different and Fernandes was there to help. The sustainer pick...

Yo yo! What's up every one? It's true that I've been incognito for a bit. I've had a lot going on in my personal life that has kept me from doing a lot of the things I enjoy, like talking to you guys! Enchant has been on a bit of a hiatus I'm afraid. It's true that we were working on a new CD...

I wouldn't say that I always nail them, but I sure as hell try! It depends really: some songs just come instantly back to me and others I've had to go back and try and figure out how I fingered certain licks or runs. But mostly I remember how I approached the solo and it triggers my memory...

I'm sorry to say that I do not have any tabs for any of my music. I don't know how to read or write music in tablature form, being that I am a self taught player. I wish I could help more, but really all I can say is it's in the key of D minor. Consider it a challenge and try to have fun with...

I'm totally up for playing Rosfest! Thanks for all the support and encouragement, it means a lot to us all. Now, how do we get it all set up?
