Mark (and Adam) convinced me to keep the site up and running. Somewhere in the near future, I will be holding an interview with Mark. So please leave your questions in the comments section…

Dear TBS,

all we want for ChristmasNew Years is “Winter Passing”

don’t disappoint.

we all have a dream. one thats usually out of reach. impossible to control. so, in honor of MLK Day, we all share the same dream here. to hear Winter Passing. in its entirety. in its natural state of high quality. this dream could be a short distance away. a few clicks away as a matter of fact.
its 2010, lets get off to the right foot sooner than later.

sincerely,
-fans

EDIT (Jan 9th): ok we have some kind of acknowledgement and a promise, thanks in part to Michelle (idontlimbo) and Amanda (amandaxxbear)…

EDIT #2 (Feb 12th): Winter Passing officially released

Happy 37th Birthday to Eddie!

Yesterday marked the 4th year that TBSUnion has been around. crazy! I renewed it for another year, but I honestly don’t see myself updating it that much anymore. It’s kind of hard anyways when the band barely releases content themselves.

Big thanks to all who still care to visit and post.

I guess we’ll see what happens…

Watch Rubano talk about the upcoming tour on the right side of the page.

Since things are slow, I added another oldie which includes a mini Eminem cover in the bridge..

Questions asked:
1) If TBS had to cover a Nirvana song which one would you want it to be? By movielife152
2) Why do you always wear long sleeves during the summer? Don’t you get really hot? By Lauren
3) Sometimes you guys decide to bring old or lesser-known songs into the set list, e.g. the union and brooklyn (which I absolutely loved seeing, by the way) and even ’slowdance on the inside’ acoustic. How does the band make these decisions? Any chance you’d ever play “I am Fred Astaire” By Annie
4 & 5 ) When do you decide to write a new song? Do you think of a catchy phrase or something and continue, is there something on your mind and you start to write about it? Also, do you sit down and just think of songs to write about or do they come to you and then you just write them down? And what’s you favorite book? By Lainey

thank you to all who submitted questions
extra thanks to the band and jillian
