Now this was a fun new room, very cool place, great staff, awesome crowd! Thanks to all for coming out and having some fun with QT!

Well folks, this was our last show for 2005, it's been a great year for us, many new QT friends, new rooms, and some great parties. From all us, we appreciate all the support we have received, and really look forward to an awesome, show rocking 2006 year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Now this is a new room to be really excited about, beautiful place in Ocean City, big place, lots or room, great staff, funny bartenders, this place rocks. We had a great off season booking audition here, got to do some fancy show list restructure to accommodate a company Christmas party group that had a dance groove going :)

Got to watch my band perform two songs, that was a real treat, don't ever get that privilege! JR, thanks for hooking us up with the sound, enjoyed working with you! Can't wait to come back here in the summer!

New rooms always bring some anxiety, but this place use to be the Turf Inn, remodeled by the new owners, and the place turned out really nice, folks need to start checking this place out! We had some fun here working thru some kinks including finding the breaker box. Want thank all for coming John, Jeremy, Mike and friends, Mike and Jaime. Nice to see Charles new stuff coming along nicely!

Lets give it up for Outbreak for rocking the place out! Want to thank our special guest SubPhonic for letting some rocking originals loose on the Zu! Want to thank all for coming out and joining us. Great to see Kristi out! Hope to see you again!

Allright my friends, QuarterTil now has an account set up on myspace. Check it out at www.myspace.com/quartertil If you don't have a myspace account get one! We appreciate your continued support of this band and the musicians involved in it. This project is finally starting to take off and it's because of all of you. You make this worth all the time and effort we have spent and will spend in the future. Thank you all!

Let's get ready to RRRRUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Wow, I have never seen such hot women get it on, holly cow! Wait till you see the upfront and close shots of the action ringside by none other than sports photographer Nick Gruebl!

Rick's debut night was nothing short of funk-fabulous, see when you funk the shit out of people, they go freaking bananas! Rick laid them mean bass grooves down and the folks went berserk! Great job Rick and from all us - Welcome Aboard!

Big thanks to Bryon for laying down the soundscape, and great seeing Barbara! Big surprise running into Rick H., what's up!!!

Freaking awesome party cellar for hanging with the QT'ies, yea baby!!! Man there was some ass shaking and slapping going on just the way we like it! Big thanks to the Stone Cellar for having us out, great staff, great place, awesome crowd, great girls, hot girls, fun girls, and kissing girls!

Appreciate the production roadies for helping out.

Want to thank Alfredo and Brad from e.magination for coming down and showing their support! Double header next week, so keep it coming!

These take a bit to download so be patient - Video Clip 1 Video Clip 2, ~5 minutes for Comcast connection, you can right-mouse click and select "Save Target As..." and just download the file to your computer while you work on other things, then play the file once the download has completed.

Our first trip back to the Columbia Ale House was nothing short of blast! Granted we had our challenges, but our boy Charles and his team (Dan, Mike, Jeremy) knocked it out of the park, great job guys, outstanding, from all of us, looking forward to tearing it UP!

Big huge thank you to Jennifer Poole and Kim Junker for bringing out more people from e.magination I have ever seen assembled in one place :) Right on! Thank you, Chris, Sean, Jackie, Craig, Tanya, Mark & Friend, John, Ish, Jim, anyone else I may have missed for taking time out of your busy schedules and checking out QT! Lee, Missey and crew, thanks for stopping by! Rick and Sandy, thanks for making the show, we appreciate it!

Lots of interesting things coming your way, production improvements, new bass player, and new show, so keep checking in, or watch that email we send you, for what is to come! Looking forward to seeing you at the The Stone Cellar on November 19th.

November marks the beginning of our "Pete Petraska Farewell Tour", so please come out and show your support for one of the areas best Bass Players. Pete, the only original member and co-founder of the QT concept back in late 2001, had a definite vision with his compadres of introducing a quality cover band act entirely comprised of talented professional players committed to music perfection and ready to deliver a great sounding show.

Pete "Mr. School" Petraska, a tight, extremely versatile, polished, and experienced player, has been a key element in the group, and we will dearly miss his professionalism, PhD in gearheadology, funky grooves, and shinny shinny head, which was crucial in the photonic dispersion at the prismatic center of our memorable light shows :)

Pete will complete his QT tour of duty this month with his next performance at the Columbia Ale House on Nov 5th, and his last performance on Nov 25th at the Olde Town Tavern. So come out this month and join us in bidding Pete a huge farewell as he Bass Slaps his way into future endeavors.

Pete's replacement Rick Linares is currently in the QT musical incubator undergoing his QT-metamorphosis, come check him out on Nov 26 at Calypso Bay.

QT is pleased to announce we have selected a groovy Bass Player from down yonder, Rick Linares is the name, and there is a new sheriff in town! QT is pleased to welcome Rick into the lineup as QT's new Bass Player! Long challenging process auditioning players for a band, but finally it's over, thank the gods in the music heavens. Make sure to come out and see Rick do his Bass playing thing on November 26 at Calypso Bay in Tracy's Landing. Peace.

Patience is a dish best served cold....no wait that's revenge. Anyway, please be patient as we scour the lands for a replacement bass player. The search seems to be winding down, couple more weeks of auditioning yet, but some really talented players are coming out of the woodworks. We will be back strong at the Columbia Ale House on Nov. 5th. Make sure to come out to the Olde Towne Tavern on Nov. 25th as we will bid farewell to Pete Petraska' our current bass player and Co-Founder of QuarterTil (apparently band naming was never a strong point) as this will be his final show. Replacing members is never easy especially ones with the sex appeal Pete has. Hope to see you all at the Shows!!

Great time at the Zu with Outbreak, awesome room, patrons, and staff. Nice to be back after being away for way too long! Charles, thanks for the great mix, made all the difference! Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the show, appreciate it!

Great time at the California Inn, awesome room, patrons, and staff. Big thanks to all for coming out and showing your support. Like always, thanks to Bryon and Barbara for hooking us up with the sound and light platform and just being great folks to spend the evening with! Thank you Barbara for stepping in as the QT official photographer :)

Sorry folks, due to an overlooked double booking issue, we will not be performing at Rams Head tonight. Looking forward to partying at the California Inn on Saturday, October 1, first time in this venue so please come out and show your support.

Awesome time at Putty Hill Station, thanks to all for coming out, especially Marty's and Mike's crew who came out in full force to show their support. Nick, sticking to the glass from outside was hilarious!

Like always, kick ASS crowd at OTT, and we really enjoy playing at this venue for the folks of Frederick. Thanks to all for coming out and supporting the show.

BIG Thanks to our buddy and Starleigh booking agent Tom Moon for helping us out in pulling off this show! Oh, and Tom is the drummer for the best area band BiggerBetterFasterMore, make sure to see these guys!

Awesome time at Putty Hill Station, thanks to all for coming out, especially Marty's and Mike's crew who came out in full force to show their support.

Awesome time at the Columbia Ale House, a big thanks to all for coming out and showing Brian some luv... on his final performance. Special thanks to Kim, Jim, Susan, Bill, Ish, Vamsi, Pavine, Missy, Ray, Vicki, Jason, Angie, and anyone else I may have not mentioned for coming out and supporting the show, appreciate it!

Also, please welcome our newest member, Mike Hugel on drums who opened the show with us thru the first set. Mike will be playing his first full show at Putty Hill on the 13th, so come out and help break him in QT style :)

JOE JACKSONNNNNNNNNN...... J O E J A C K S O N N N N N N N N N N N N N N .......

Right on to Stiff Richard for having us out as an opening act at the House of Rock. We had a great time, awesome room, great crowd, and one hell of a NAZI soundman, can't wait to work with him again! Stiff Richard put on one hell of kick ass rock show for the folks of White Marsh, one of the best if not the best local area band!

This month marks the beginning of our "Brian Wagner Farewell Tour", so please come out and show your support for one of the areas best drummers. Brian, who joined QT at it's pre-gigging inception in late 2002, brought a remarkably tight, precise, and extremely diverse drumming style and capability to the group. The "machine" as we often call him, Brian has been a major contributor in the first phase of QT's professional evolution, and we will greatly miss his beats, along with his ability to stay in the pocket, and even rescue us from ourselves, by bringing us back into the pocket when our excitement had us astray :)

Brian will complete his QT tour of duty this month with his next performance at the House of Rock where we will open for Stiff Richard, and his last performance on July 30th at the Columbia Ale House. So come out this month and join us in bidding Brian a huge farewell as he drums his way into future endeavors.

Brian's replacement will be named in a future posting as he is currently in the QT musical incubator as we await his QT-metamorphosis.

The hottest spot to party and we are mighty pleased to be a part of it! Another great night at OTT, thanks to everyone for coming out, especially Gary and friends for taking a chance on us, you guys were awesome, and we really appreciate your checking us out, hope you enjoyed the show and had a great time. You guys were definitely the spotlight of our evening :) Hope to see you out again!

Like always, big thanks to Bryon and Barb for a great sound package, and it was nice to hang out with guys once again. Big thanks to all the folks that let us take pictures for our site, and a big shout out to the OTT staff which always takes great care of us. And a huge thanks to the guy wearing the QT-shirt, please tell us your name on our guestbook so we can keep in touch, you were definitely chilling. Folks do not hesitate to sign our guestbook, we want to hear your comments!

Only "1" electrical outlet to plug the entire band and PA system into, talk about pre-show anxiety, but by the graces of the music gods in the heavens, everything went better than expected, blew the dock up!!! Thanks to all for the support, Jessica, Steve, Christine, Noah, Marty's entourage, Dorothy and friends, nice to meet ya Linda, and big thanks to Joe of Sound Projects for getting in and taking care of business!!!

Great time adding this cool venue on the water to our growing list of locations where QT has had a chance to bust some moves. Nice meeting Mike and Wayne of venue security for taking great care of us, and the cool bar tenders for fixing me up some A W E S O M E drinks.

Waters were a choppy, winds were a blowing, doors were a way way down, but out from the storm rolling upon us, QT rocked the roof off "The Jetty" hurricane style. Thank you to all for coming out and enjoying the show!!!

Special thanks to "The Untouchables" or "The UnFindables" since I could not find a single member but I presume they were around, or at least I hope they were. Hope you liked our dedication song "Gimme Three Steps" :)

Randy of Stiff Richard, Rick of DactylMedia Fx, Joe of Sound Projects, Kristi of Unsatisfied Jalapeno, Shawn, Erica, Monica, Andrea, Jobie, Dina, Steve, Rob, Charles, Dan, Dave, Fritz, Lee, and all the significant others of the aforementioned list, and anyone else I may have not mentioned. Thanks for helping us make the night a memorable show!

Very nice to go back after being away from the Zu for so long and ROCK the house OUT! Thanks to all for coming out and enjoying our show, we had a great time. Awesome room to play, great house sound, and staff to go along with it!

Give it up for Outbreak for tearing it up, check those guys out, excellent band! Great to see Ray and Mike from Tripwire at the show.

Awesome, awesome, awesome night with the Very Hot Wild girls of Frederick, good lord have mercy! By far the best party we have had at OTT, you folks sure know how to boogie down on that dance floor, WOW! I want to personally thank every lovely lady that allowed me to take their picture to post on our web site, please take the time to to check your lovely selves out in the photo gallery.

Bryon on the boards, what can I say, the man behind the sound, the wizard behind the sound curtain pulling all the levers that makes our sound come off like an 80's live concert. Nice to see and work with Bryon and Barbara again, it's been a while! Outstanding job on the board Bryon! Outstanding woman behind the mastermind Barbara :) We all know where the wizard gets his ideas or inspiration :)

Give it up for front man Bill of Driven standing to Bryon's left, for stopping in to enjoy the show with his friends. Saw you dancing boy, front man, dance man, talent just spewing everywhere from you ... what's up... :)

Nice to see Scott again back at a QT show in Frederick, spread the word brother. Big thanks to everyone at the tavern for making our night extra special.

I want to extend a huge thank you to all our friends that made it out to Putty Hill Station. You all made it a very memorable night, I can't remember the last time I've seen so many familiar faces in one place. I would also like to thank all the new friends we made. I hope to see all of you out in full force at the Zu in the upcoming weeks. So thanks once again you made it one of the greatest nights this band has had in a long time.

Awesome party at Putty Hill Station last night, if you were not there, you simply just missed out on one hell of a party, pretty girls everywhere, booze, 2 good bands rocking the hell out of the night! Folks were dancing so much I just wanted to throw my guitar to the side, jump in middle, and bust some moves -- old school! Finally got over the top on this venue!!! We had a great night playing for all our friends old and new!

Big HUGE QT thank you to everyone that came out to show us there moves, either on the floor, or just hanging out watching the show. Big thank you to Mean Motor Scooter (give it up) for doing a great job opening our show, keep an eye out for these guys, cause they are a force to reckon with.

Monster HUGE thank you to Cheryl (QT's executive vice president of strategic promotions) for executing one them "strategic promotions plan" that resulted in the party of the century. Big thank you to "Martay" for collaborating on this plan and rounding up his area break dancers to come in and show us there stuff.

Personal thank you to Steve, Christine, Noah, Jessica, Missey, Ray, Monte, Vicki, Ray, TJ, all of Cheryl and Marty's friends, Dennis, Allen, and the real important dude that is connected which I cannot mention his name, but you know who you are :) and anyone else I may not have mentioned, we love you guys too :)

And finally a really special thank to Elise for making a special trip up from VA to see us, it was nice talking and seeing you, glad you enjoyed the show, and I hope to see you again :) We are just going to have to start playing in DC and VA, come on guys, let's make this happen :)

Finally, the music gods in the heavens lifted our curse from the Brass Rail, anything and everything under the sun plagued us from our very first visit to the Rail, from cough syrup overdoses, guitar tuning issues, to effects processor problems, and electrical sabotage, Murphy's law at its worst.

Last night, we kicked Mr. Murphy right in his ASS with plentiful force, we will not see the likes of him at the Rail! Big thanks to all our friends for coming out to see the show, they include all of Brian's friends and family, Randy from Stiff Richard and his lovely girlfriend, my mad scientist friend, Mr. Fritz Hemmer (thanks for taking all the pictures), Mary & Lisa Lisa, and anyone else I did not mention.

We understand that when you come out to see us, we basically ROCK the sense out of you, and please have fun, but make sure someone will drive you home so we get a chance to see you again at a future show :) Like always, we had a great time, hope to see you again :)

Awesome night back at the best tavern in Frederick!!! Pandemonium when the music gets real hard, just the way you like it :) Wow, some dirty dancing going on there Jessica :) Special thanks to all for coming out and letting QT entertain ya, we had a great time.

What a great way to start the year out for us playing back out at the "The Jetty", thank you to all for coming out, and to the new friends we made!
