Professional performers and artists through and through, These Words Remain will continue to force their way into an already crowded scene providing a non stop, top of the line performance for a long time to come. "Our main goal with this album is to create a memorable and lasting impression on people" says the band. "we've worked really hard on this, with hopes to really refresh the similar genres. We like to really take pride in our study of music and the emotions our songs are meant to portray."

Raw Tuneage: VAUDEVILLE (CALIFORNIA)

Vaudeville - [vawd-vil] a theatrical piece of light or amusing character, interspersed with songs and dances.

For two years, VAUDEVILLE has been working hard at making a names for themselves in the fresno/ central valley scene. Last December, with the release of "How To Say Goodbye", Vaudeville took the next step into beginning to place their name among the top. The cd took a little less than a year to engineer and produce, and every ounce of energy, heart, and passion has been poured into it. Because the cd took so long to produce and put out, the band has already almost written an entire new album. they intend to return to the studio in the Fall of '08 to begin pre-production on the cd. You can most likely expect to hear the tunes in early 2009.
