-LET THE MIXING BEGIN - A 16 SONG ALBUM
- Jan 24, 2008 - By Daniel

I'm excited to announce that tonight is the first night of mixing for the upcoming album, Themes in American Friction. This process will take approximately 2 weeks and while its going on I'll also be finishing the illustrations and design for the album artwork and the orchestration for certain songs. I'm very excited to hear how Cory Plaugh will mix the parts I've been working on. We'll be putting one song up on the internet and on a few radio stations several weeks before the album comes out and I can't wait for you to hear it!

I'd also like to use this newsletter to announce that Themes in American Friction will consist of 16 full length songs. I didn't set out to write any particular number of songs for the album, I just kept writing until it felt like a complete narrative. I've never believed in quantity over quality and there are songs that didn't make the cut. However, I strongly believe that every song on the album was written and recorded with the same quality standards and for a specific purpose. Its taken a long time to shape the narrative through writing the songs and its taken a very long time to record all 16 but I can't wait for you to hear the results!

Thank you so much for your support!

- NEW ALBUM NEARING COMPLETION
- Oct 5, 2007 - By Daniel


I'm so excited to be able to write that the album is nearing completion. In the beginning of October, Cory Plaugh, the band and myself will begin an intensive two weeks of tracking sessions. We'll be working five days a week and when we wrap, all primary tracking for the entire album will
be complete.

At that point I'll be bringing the album to my mini home studio to add violins, organs, tamborines, backing vocals, extra guitars and the likes. Then we will mix and master.

I'm so excited! This album has been weighing heavily on me for a while and it will feel good to be able to work nonstop and get it done. For the folks who have asked about the album's progress and shown support and excitement for its release, thank you! Stay tuned for new Album Video Journals :)





- WE SIGN ENDORSEMENT DEAL - Sept 5, 2007 - By Daniel


A few weeks ago we were approached by up-and-coming string company Knucklehead Strings. They were kind enough to offer us a sponsorship, so we tried out the strings and we love them! Check out our first official sponsors here. You may love the strings too!





- GREETINGS FROM NEW YORK - Aug 22, 2007 -By Daniel


Ladies and gents, with Chicago, New York and Washington D.C. under our belts, the tour rolls on to Spartanburg SC. Before our next show though, here's a New York "post card" from us to you :)

The tour has been awesome so far and we'll be posting pictures, video and more details soon. See you in Spartanburg, Savannah and Athens!

- PICTURES FROM CHICAGO - July 25, 2007 - By Daniel


A slideshow gallery of photos from the Chicago leg of the Summer 07 Tour is now up in the gallery. Go to it directly by clicking here.

The show was great by the way and I met some great people. One new Chicago friend filmed my last song and says he will be posting it on YouTube. Another, told me she had listened to the lyrics of "The Kings of Misery" which is about my father. Though this person was new to me and my music, after the show she asked me about my father's condition; I told her that he is always in pain because of his rheumatoid arthritis but that his attitude is wonderful, and far better than the attitudes of so many with much less to complain about.

It was a great trip and it makes me all the more excited to take off on the rest of the tour in August. See you in New York!

- SUMMER TOUR 2007 - July 16, 2007 - By Daniel


Our last hometown show of the summer is over and it was wonderful! Thank you to everyone who came for making it a very special night!

I'll kick off our summer touring with my solo show in Chicago this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to get this thing started. If you want to see the details of the tour and check up on early bookings for fall, check out the shows page. Thank you again Columbia! We'll see you in a few months!

- TRUSTUS ROCK SHOW JULY 13 - July 2, 2007 - By Daniel


We had not planned to play again in Columbia until our east coast summer tour was over this September, but we we couldn't pass up a special invitation to headline a rock show at TRUSTUS Theatre on Friday, July 13.

The show will feature myself and the full Guitar Show Band, and will take place right after a performance of Hedwig & the Angry Inch. We'll be playing our usual rock set with a few acoustic solo songs mixed in. With Hedwig's amazing set design behind us, and the lights and magic of the theater around us, this should be a very atmospheric show.

Opening, will be the beautiful and talented Liesl Downey. She will be performing an acoustic set of original music that is both clever and enchanting.

I hope we'll see you at this very special show!






- DANIEL ON iTUNES - June 15, 2007 - By Daniel


Ladies and gentlemen, you can now purchase my music in uncompressed CD quality on iTunes and almost every other digital store you can think of!

What's really exciting for me is that in a few short months, I will be releasing a world-wide digital single on iTunes leading up to the release of my upcoming 4th album; 'Themes in American Friction'.







Here's some links to the digital stores now selling and previewing my current demos:
| Apple iTunes | Napster | BuyMusic | PayPlay | Ruckus |
(Keep in mind that previews of the songs will not be full quality)






- HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH - June 1, 2007 - By Daniel


Now that the big hometown summer show is over, the band and I won't be playing in Columbia for quite a while. Thank you so much to everyone who came to
the show!

In the meantime, Guitar Show Band guitarist Chris Harre and myself will be reprising our roles in the TRUSTUS Theatre production of Hedwig & the Angry Inch. We both loved doing the p lay for USC theater earlier this year and couldn't say no when we were told that TRUSTUS wanted to pick up our production professionally. Chad Henderson, who directed Cycle of their Fathers, is directing Hedwig & the Angry Inch
as well.

Other than Hedwig, my main focus will be working hard to get the new album finished. My producer/good friend Cory Plaugh is about to finish up his work on regional favorite Villanova's upcoming album, which will really give us time to take our work on the album to the next level.

Then there's New York and the summer tour. I don't know when we'll play in town again, it might be September! In the mean time, check out the new Album 4 Video Journal. Keep checking back because I'll be posting videos more frequently, leading up to a radio and iTunes release of the album's first single.






- THE BIG SUMMER SHOW - May 16, 2007 - By Daniel


May 29 is our big 2007 summer show in Columbia, SC at New Brookland Tavern. We'll be headlining the show, playing with our good friends and long-time supporters, Hello Tomorrow. The Fad and Eddie's Cookouts are Dangerous are playing as well. Its going to be a fun show!

In other news, the Art Garage Demos are now for sale at Manifest Discs and Tapes in Columbia, SC. You can also pick up a copy from our online store or from CDBaby.

I hope we'll see you at the show. We will be playing at least one more show in Columbia with the full band this summer, but this will be our last big headlining home town show before we leave for our micro tour and head up to Washington D.C., New York City and New Jersey. See you at the show!

- NEW RECORDING PHOTOS - April 13, 2007 - By Daniel


We've been pushing along with the album, finishing drums, bass, guitar and lead vocals for the first batch of songs with Cory Plaugh engineering and producing. I'm then taking the main parts that I recorded with Cory back to my home studio to add backing vocals, violins, and other textures and details that I didn't have enough time to do on the last album. I've put up pictures of some of the sessions in the gallery, please check them out and check back soon for more. I can't wait for you guys to hear the new album!






- NEW YORK ! - Mar 26, 2007 - By Daniel

Me and the guys are taking a trip to New York! We've been invited up by the NY indie label Kanine Records. They liked the Art Garage Demos and want to hear us play live. This is a very exciting proposal and we've been set up to play at Galagapos Art Space in Brooklyn NY with members of Kanine management attending the show. I suppose what we essentially have here is an audition, at the very least it will be an awesome trip!





- NEW SONGS IN THE JUKEBOX! / SHOW FRIDAY!

- DANIEL MACHADO IS GUITAR SHOW
GUITAR SHOW IS DANIEL MACHADO - December 12, 2006 - 11:33am

Well, I've thought about it for a long time: changing the name of the band. In 2001, when I drew the name "Guitar Show" on a piece of paper, it seemed like a funny idea. But now, almost six years later, I'm playing with none of the friends I started the band with, so it feels like the perfect time to change.

The name Guitar Show has been a good friend for many years but I think it has also helped to hide me in the giant music world. For example, type Guitar Show into a Google search, it's pretty hard to find the band.  So, for that reason and many others I feel that it's only right to continue ahead with my own name and leave the name Guitar Show as a reminder for myself of the hard work of my wonderful friends and former band mates:

Sierra Machado
David Porth
Kara Nelson
Eddie Lord
Michael McAneney
Adam Corbett
Bill Elliott

Regardless of what name I played under, I've always just wanted to write, record and perform music that I liked. So with a new album on the way and a new tour about to start, I'm happy that I'm still lucky enough to be able to do those things. For now I guess I'll be "Daniel Machado and the Guitar Show Band".

Thank you always!
Daniel





- THE RADIO WAS GREAT - February 05, 2006 - 9:51pm

The new demos have made their local radio debut. Thank you to the folks who tuned in today! Thanks also for your calls and instant messages while we were on the air. We hope you guys enjoyed the new songs. For anyone who missed the interview, the demos will be released on MySpace some time after February 10. We want to especially thank Cory Plaugh for his many hours of work and dedication mixing, mastering and co-recording the demos that aired today. Cory cares about Guitar Show's recordings as much as we do, which is a very rare thing. He's more than an engineer, he's a producer. Today's interview was of course only the beginning. We're all very excited to share our new music with you and look foward to the MySpace debut of the demos. Thanks again to Ben Jammin, Cory, and all of you for listening!
See you on the 10th!





- ART GARAGE DEMOS - January 18, 2006 - 10:12pm

- THE OFFICIAL RETURN OF GUITAR SHOW - December 28, 2005 - 12:07pm

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10 at New Brookland Tavern
THE OFFICIAL RETURN OF GUITAR SHOW

Hi folks, Daniel here to announce THE OFFICIAL RETURN of Guitar Show! Adam, Bill and myself have been practicing for two months now and are just about ready to perform GS' first show with the new line up.  The show will take place on FEB. 10 at NEW BROOKLAND TAVERN.  

This show is very special because it also showcases the new material I've been writing since The Ghosts of Our Childhood. To be clear about what's going on, this new material was written for and always intended to be played and recorded by GS' former lineup. With mutual well wishes flowing between the current Guitar Show and its former members, I do however want to make my excitement for the new lineup clear.  Bill and Adam kick ass.  They rock and the have breathed wonderful life into the songs that will fill Guitar Show's upcoming album.  
TAKE OFF WORK, TELL YOUR FRIENDS, FRIDAY NIGHT, FEB 10!





- GOODBYE SIERRA - Octover 16, 2005 - 10:44pm

By Daniel:
Wednesday, October 12 was the probably the last show that my sister Sierra and I will ever play on stage together. After four years she has finally decided to do what shes thought about doing for
over a year and has begun concentrating completely on school and her true passions. Playing with Sierra over the years has been wonderful and continuing without her is going to be quite an adjustment. Most importantly though, its wonderful to see her doing exactly what she wants. Coincidently Guitar Show's latest drummer, Michael McAneney has decided to break from his position in the band for an indefinate amount of time to pursue a new project. As a result of the timing of this break Eddie and I are unsure about how to handle forming a new lineup. There is a posibility that Eddie will take this situation as an opportunity to pursue his own project and there is also a possibility that he and I will continue to play together with a new bassist and drummer.

What is certain is that I have half of Guitar Show's next album written and simply cannot slow down. It is Sierra's most sincere parting wish to see the band she helped start alive and thriving. I have no desire to take a break or to stop writing, performing or recording music. I love the latest lineup of Guitar Show like a family and will sorely miss the specific personality, creativity and material they contributed to the band. The band however is my passion, it is my escape and it is my five year investment. Despite my lonely possition as it's sole original member I am excited for the future.





- SONG WRITING - August 28, 2005 - 4:26pm

By Daniel:
I found quite a kick ass message sent to us on myspace by Ben. Ben plays in a band called Division By Zero. Here's what he said:

"holy shit. this album really is amazing. lyrics are really really good. i love the last four songs (of david my father), especially the part where you go back to the chorus of "to texas" in "cycle of their fathers." "guitar show" is prob my favorite. good to see a band put so much effort into their song writing rather than their image and *scene-status*. its refreshing. the website is also really fucking cool. i like how you made eddie look like a dragonball z character. haha. peace and love
dbz."

Well Ben you couldnt give me a bigger compliment. As far as song writing is concerned, that is definately something that I put the majority of my energy into. Its nice to have someone notice it and mention it specifically. I'm glad you noticed the reprise of To Texas' chorus at the end of Cycle too, I've never had that really addressed by anyone who wasnt part of the project. Every tiny detail that I'm responsible for putting in the album was put there to be analyzed as part of a narrative and hopefully commented on. Thank you for doing that where I could see it. Glad you like the website too!





- GOOD LUCK KARA NELSON - July 11 2005, 2:24am

Kara Nelson, our original drummer and one of the band's founders is moving to Los Angeles

By Daniel:
Well Kara Nelson has been going to school at Full Sail in Orlando Florida for a year now studying film. She just graduated and now she is going to move to Los Angeles California. This is such an amazing step for her and I wanted to post this for anyone who knows her or listened to us in the begining. Kara has been an amazing friend to me and I wish her all the best in the world as she follows her dreams. I gotta say if she wouldnt have come into my life when I was 15 and gotten me obsessed with her collection of electric guitars I doubt I would even be in this band now. She has really had one hell of an impact on my life.
Good luck Kara!

Daniel here with a brand new website for the summer...
Wow the last few weeks have been so busy its been unbelievable, me and Will both have been swamped with school projects and  what not and the website has slowing been dying thanks to a half completed update by myself that left the navagation bar UNNAVIGABLE! great job me. So rather than just post a new message apologizing for this lack of attention I decided  to build an entirely new website to gear up for the summer. There will be some new things that I want to do soon that will hopefully be some fun additions, like a virtual practice room where you can play around with our instruments. As far as the music goes, if you check out the info page and look in the songs area you can find some new song titles that I'm working on. Hopefully we'll be playing them soon. Whats really getting me excited though are our plans to record and release a series of EPs throughout the summer, the first one to be recorded at the Jam Room within the next month. There are also plans to take the band on the road and play some venues in Georgia and North Carolina but thats still up in the air. In the mean time thanks for coming to the shows and giving us the support you always have, give the new website a look and check out our new message board in the "boards" section, the guestbook is there too . Later everybodyyyy.

Never fear (not that any of you would) I will still be here functioning as I always have, but I now pledge allegiance to Elizabeth. While I still will handle booking, photography, and all things web related, she will be the true nerve center of all the awesome stuff going on in the band. So if you need anyting contact one of us, and we will do whatever we can to help. By the way: the band has some freaking awesome things in store, so keep an eye out here for any news.

Well Will has become the websites official webmaster as you can see. He's doin a really good job on actually giving attention to it. :)So now I just wanna take some time to talk about the new cd comin out and all that. I remember when we made our first cd, I listened to it and I thought, I wanna make a cd somebody can go to sleep to. So with that in the back of my head the songs that were written after guitarshow live started to formulate. We practiced some and played some more shows and after a while the songs that will be on the new cd presented themselves. The turning point was when my extremely awesome uncle empowered me with a computer holding enough memory to record these songs. So the process began about three months ago. So now as December is almost here, we are almost done. Its taking so long because we're doing it one instrument at a time. Ahh it can be frustrating but we're almost done. So soon we will have a cd for you that wasnt recorded live 4 months after starting the band. It will have new songs and will hopefully sound better too. :) And I think you may be able to go to sleep to the new cd if you so choose.
I really hope y'all like it. Well I'm gonna go to bed because its kinda late, gnight everybody!

- SOME POSTATIONAL NOTATIONALS - December 2, 2002 - Author: Will

Well, sorry I haven't updated in a while I've been swamped with exams, and term papers. Well, I guess I can tell you that Kara is now playing guitar rather than drums, and the band has it narrowed down to 2 drummers (who are both great). The cd should be done within the next 10 days, and Daniel is already working out songs for an EP to be released sometime in the spring. Ive heard the guitar parts, lyrics, and ideas for the new songs, and they are awesome. We are trying to work out a way to post some demos on the site. They should be up as soon as Dan can get some recorded, and I can get some...posted. If you have pictures of the band at any concert e-mail them to us. Also, some stories would be cool. Art would be great to. So would money. So would a PA. Cords. Anything really...hmm....so anyway. Send some pictures and well give your name a special home on our site.

I do have some exciting news too, well its exciting to us anyways, :) here goes, I got an amaing gift from my uncle for gradution, a computer. So one day I decided to bring Kara's drum set in my room and record it to see what it sounded like. So it works, it actually sounds good.

Well it ended up going so well that we've decided that we're going to do an entire cd that way. 15 songs; electric and accoustic, new and old. So thats pretty much what we've been doing for the past week and half. We're really excited about finishing and getting them out to you all and we're getting pretty close. Well thats my story.

- DOIN THE DISHES ON SCHOOL TV SHOW - February 6, 2002 - Author: Sierra

TRICKTRICK TRICKY! Hey guys isn?t it great seeing all these nice pictures? Yes, I agree! We all know Daniel takes after his sister in being shifty and sheisty and downright tricky! So click on some of these new images and you might find yourself being taken to a hidden page. Nice! Well, it?s very great to have Kara back! A lot of you might not know much about Kara because she?s all grown up and graduated, so she?s not around as much as me Daniel or David. All I can say is how random she is because I called her cell phone awhile ago and I asked her what she was doing and she said ?Waiting for the penguins to get fed!? Wow,I wish I were at the zoo right now. WELCOME BACK KARA! Hurray! Recently ?Doin the Dishes? was played on our school?s news program (that makes me laugh) and we?d like to thank the eldest Matthews sister for that! Thaaaaaaanks. I?m going to go eat a cupcake now but thanks everyone for everthing! Ta-ta?.SIERRRRRAAAA!


- KARA'S BACK HOME - January 30, 2002 - Author: Daniel

Karas back! and we have been working hard to get everything back together and work on new songs too. Personally I have mostly been concentrating on 3 things. One is writing a new song, two is trying to grow a beard, and three is school work. Other than that I went Ice skating recently which was alot of fun, David came too and he agrees that ice skating is alot of fun. As far as shows go, we hope to play at a few local venues, if you will, around town very soon. Some of these shows might lean towards the accoustic side. More info soon :) Some other band news concerns Weezer. From what I understand a new Weezer album is almost finished and will be released very soon. Its called Maladroit and Im pretty stoked about it ok anyways.. Rock'n'Roll forever.

And one last thing, if you click on the picture above youll find some more lyrics.

Also, a token of gratitude to my dear friend and brothers not girlfriend, but friends who like each other more than friends, Meredith for being so fashionable in my prescence and for teaching me everything I know about being a shifty thrift-store Chester.

Well the week of our first two shows is over. It has been very cool but very tiring. Our first show was indoors and had a very controlled atmosphere. Our second show was outdoors and was really hot. Our set was so disorganized but we had fun. It is very cool having songs be recognized, like the one Tara likes so much.
