A big thanks to everyone who helped out with Friday's "Radioactive Concert Series."  We had a great time and really appreciate all the support for such a worthy cause.  Extra special thanks to Benny Smith and his team from 90.3 The Rock for being so good to local musicians and to our brothers Old Union and Heavy Buzz for lending their talents to the evening.  We will be going underground for a few months as we ready the new album for release early in the Spring of '08, but we will be playing a few show here and there so come out and catch us if you get the chance.  The new album is going to be called "Light Energy" and features some new tunes as well as some time tested crowd favorites.  We are very pleased with it and can't wait for it to hit the streets.  Stay tuned in for all things Deluxe..............

Allright, we have finished recording the album!!!!!  We couldn'd be happier with how things turned out during our stay in Athens, GA.  Dave Barbe is one hell of a guy, not to mention his amazing skills as an engineer and producer.  We had our best musical experience to date and would like to thank all of the Chase Park guys for their hospitality during our stay. 

The album is set for a February release but we will have some samplers of it at upcoming shows.  Don't forget to come to Mucklewain and check out some of the new stuff in a live setting.  We will be hitting the stage at 12:35am.  

So get off your ass and go see some live music!!!!!!!!!  We'll see you there!

We wanted to thank Wayne Bledsoe of the Knoxville News Sentinel for his flattering review.  Thanks man!!! Check out the review below!

Bledsoe: A sampling of sounds with homegrown flavor

By WAYNE BLEDSOE
2006 Knoxville News Sentinel

picture I've been remiss in not getting to some fine local albums that have been released over the past several weeks (OK, months). So it's time to shine a little light on some discs from local artists.

"Garage Deluxe," Garage Deluxe (www.garagedeluxe.com)

If ever a band name was an example of truth in advertising, Garage Deluxe is a classic case. Made up of local rock veterans, Garage Deluxe shows absolutely no shame in drawing inspiration from classic rock. These guys sound like they've tuned their radios to some long-lost 1970s album-rock station, but they are copies of nobody. Stevie Jones has an earthy and expressive voice and a funky keyboard style. Guitarist John Montgomery knows just when to stretch out and when to end a solo, and bassist Chad Farmer and drummer Andrew Bryant combine for a tight rhythm section.

While the band members know how to jam, they know a jam doesn't have to break the five-minute mark, and they know the importance of keeping some of the musical edges rough and lively. Garage Deluxe is a reason to keep the garage doors open.

Hey guys, thanks for checkin' in to see what we are up to!!  We had a great time playing at Windows on the Cumberland last Friday night.  Thanks to all who came up from Knoxville and of course the Nashville contingency that came out to support us.  We are looking forward to playing at Windows at Berry Hill as soon as possible.  Boots is relocating and is going to keep the tradition alive so we can still rock out at Windows in Nashville!!!!

Check the show schedule and we will se you all soon.
