It has been awhile since we have sent out an email update on the band. That does not mean that there has not been a lot going on with Big Mountain. It has been a very busy several months. First, I wanted to let everyone know that the web page is finally going to be updated within the coming days. We are going to have some new features including a chat room, photos from the tour, recording sessions, message from Quino and the most requested thing - lyrics! Just to give you some of the things that we will talk about on the site will be the tours that Big Mountain did this year - the west coast, Japan and Brazil. The upcoming "home movie" video that we are working on. News and photos about the video for Tierra Indigena! If there is something that you want to see on the web site or have a question that you want answered by one of the band members feel free to email your comments, questions and suggestions. With Christmas just around the corner - why not think about giving the gift of a Big Mountain cd or t-shirt to someone? I do have a few t-shirts left from the tour and also some cd singles for sale that will not be put up on the site. If you are interested in these items feel free to email me. For those of you in Europe - earlier this year Big Mountain released a special priced double CD with New Day and Things To Come. Be sure to check it out! This is the first release in Europe since 1998. Thats it for now. I am going to save the rest of the information for the web site so be sure to check it out! Be sure to check the Forum out also and don't be afraid to post!
