| Comments: | I miss U, Ryan! I have a gig Saturday night or I'd come to your show at Colby's for sure. Did you know that I'm a published author now? Yes, I wrote a book called "The First 41: Getting Past My Past" and it's available at Authorhouse.com. I'd be honored to sign, date and personalize your copy for you if you order it. That'll give me a good excuse to come and see you. People who've read it say stuff like "it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry and it'll make your skin crawl" and "once you open it, you will not be able to put it down". I need it to catch on fire. |

| Comments: | Hey Guys and girls, I would also like to thank everyone for making the Black Rain journey as special as it was for me, and i hope is was equally as special for all of you as well. Losing everything you own to a natural disaster is a horrible and excruciating experience, as I'm sur everone of you know someone in the situation if you are not in that situation yourself. It hurts my heart to have to say goodbye to New Orleans, but it is much more painful to have to say goodbye to all of you, especially Steve and Mike, my partners in crime. I have met so many great people durring my reign with Black Rain and I am very saddened to have to leave it all behind. BUT this move for me may only be a temporary one, so I'm hoping to be back in the city raising hell on the skins in the near future.
Thanks for all the support you guys have shown us over the past 4 years. Ryan Faust |

| Comments: | To all of you who have been calling and writing to see how we have been,,thank you! Today is Saturday the 29th of October, 2 months to the day that Katrina the witch arrived. I am writing here because the computer that maintained the website has been lost in the flood waters of Katrina and we are no longer able to access the website at all. It is with a sad and heavy heart that I can tell you that Black Rain as you knew it no longer exists. Ryan has relocated to Chatanooga, TN. Mike is currently outside of Austin, TX. I know that Mike Nagolia, our sound man, is still local, but he has lost everything as well.
Mike Chutsz and I have kicked around the idea of creating a new project to continue the journey, along with drummer Danny Galloway. The album is 90% complete and my wish is to get the music out there! So this may be an option, stay tuned. Meanwhile I wish to thank each and every one of you who have helped to make the last three and half years so special for us in Black Rain! Johnnie at Dago's for "giving us the shot!", Dewey, Jamie, Guy & Bev, Harry & Shelli, "Mom", Randy at the Bengal, The Topcats, Redline, Bag O Donuts, Scumgumbo, Big Mike & Connie, Dave, Jimmy, Joey, Victor and all the Pork Chops in all of us, Pam & Phil, Mark & Lynn, Shelly & Rob, Jenna-wherever you are, Tony the Ford, Pam and Earl, Tony Sinopli & Randy Villaferra my fellow brothers in arms, Chris the Brit, Steve and the crew from the Columbia St. Tap Room, Jerry and Jerry at Bada Bing's, Mark at Southport, Jack & Robin, Tim the "tool man", Justin my hero, Big Al, Lisa and the Katz crew, all the brothers and sisters in Da Parish who all need our prayers, Buzzy "Beano" Langford & Chuck Credo for keeping me on track in the studio, Gerry at Gerry's Place, Jeff Guitar Nelson, Glenn & Kitty, J.B.Elston, Juan, Chip & Kenny from Cakewalk, Melvin & crew at C&M Music Center, and everybody else that came week after week to make our lives great! Thank you all and may God Bless You. A special thanks goes to my kids for putting up with and supporting me. Finally, Thank you Missy for pushing me and putting up with me at the same time. I would be nothing without you. I love you! To All: We'll be back in some form or fashion one day...Keep Rockin'!! |

| Comments: | Hurricane Katrina Update: Our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragic event. Mike and Ryan with the band both lost their homes completely, Mike had to be rescued. All are doing fine now. Regardless of what conjecture is being bandied about in the media, New Orleanians, Southeast Louisianians, and the people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast do not give up or surrender. We will be back! God Bless all of you! |

| Comments: | Steve, just wanted to let you know that we have listened to your samples on the website and you guys really rock. I think those originals are just perfect for the live venues of Austin, Texas. Keep Rockin.
Also, just to let everyone know. Steve rocks as much off stage as he does on. Just met him on a cruise and he is a fun person to know. His personality alone is enough to help him and all those around him make it to the top. Thanks for the fun times Steve and say hi to Missy, Dave and Yvonne from Austin. |
