CYNDERBYRD IS WORKING ON A NEW SONG CALLED “ICE COLD LOVE”, ABOUT THAT BAD RELATIONSHIP WHICH WAS HOT AT FIRST, AND THEN TURNS COLD AND HARSH. SO COLD THAT IT FEELS LIKE FROSTBITE! INSPIRED BY THOSE BAD LOVES THAT EVERYONE HAS GONE THROUGH, TOGETHER WITH THIS WINTER'S FREAKISHLY LONG SPELL OF VERY COLD DAYS AND NIGHTS, REACHING AS LOW AS 9 DEGREES OUTSIDE OF C-BYRD STUDIOS, AND PROBABLY ABOUT 25 DEGREES IN THE STAGE ROOM, which IS VERY DRAFTY AND STAYS COLD FOR DAYS WHEN TEMPS ARE THAT LOW. THIS SONG WILL BE FINISHED AND RECORDED SOMETIME BEFORE THE SPRING THAW!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ROCKERS!!!
CYNDERBYRD IS EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW YEAR AND ABOUT THE NEW SONG “UNDERLING”, WHICH IS THE TITLE TRACK OF THE NEW DYSTOPIAN SAGA. "DIGGING" STARTED ON THE FIIST DAY OF THE YEAR FOR THIS STORY ABOUT A DARK FUTURE WHERE MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED ON THE LAND AND A GROUP OF INTELLIGENT AND ABLE PEOPLE GO DOWN UNDERGROUND TO LIVE IN THE OLD SUBWAY SYSTEM, RATHER THAN BEING CHIPPED AND CONTROLLED BY THE “MAN”. SO NOW THEY'RE OUTLAWS, EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG.

CYNDERBYRD HAS A NEW SONG CALLED “BUILT FOR SPEED”. Inspired by formula 1 racing, this song is about a bad-ass hot rod tearin' down the road and at the same time, about living the rock-n-roll lifestyle in which “i was never born, in this lifetime or any other, to take it easy, or go slow, be quiet or mild mannered!!! instead i am to be loud, fast, and Indomitable, with eyes on the prize!!!”

C & C JOURNeY TO CLEVELAND, OHIO TO SEE AC/DC IN CONCERT IN THE CLEVELAND BROWNS HOME STADIUM. IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW FROM BEGINNING TO END. PLAYING SONGS FROM the poWER UP ALBUM, AS WELL AS CLASSIC HITS FROM THE EIGHTIES AND EVEN SOME “BON SCOTT” SONGS LIKE “HIGH VOLTAGE”. ANGUS, DRESSED IN HIS SCHOOL BOY OUTFIT, WAILED AWAY ON LEAD GUITAR WHILE BRIAN JOHNSON SANG AS GOOD AS EVER IN THIS “HIGH VOLTAGE” ROCK AND ROLL SHOW. THE NEXT DAY C & C VISIT THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE STADIUM. THERE WAS EVEN AN AC/DC EXHIBIT AND A FILM SHOWING OF THEIR INDUCTION CEREMONY. THE HALL OF FAME WAS GREAT, WITH ARTIFACTS, GUITARS, DRUMS, CLOTHES, POSTERS, and even original hand written lyrics on paper of ac/dc's “highway to hell”, and many other hit songs. stretching from the beginnings of roots music in america, through the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and into current times. it takes hours to see this whole place, which has six floors. on the trip back home to “jamforge”, c & c create and work on a new song for the “mars one” saga, called “sunblind”. imagine spacewalking above mars, rockin' out and waiting for the sun to rise. what a sight it would be! dazed by the sun rising above the red planet, while writing a new song about the experience.

CYNDERBYRD HAS A NEW SONG CALLED “THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG!!!” THIS SONG IS ABOUT HOW ME$$ED UP THINGS ARE AND THAT MANY PEOPLE FOR YEARS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET, WHILE THE LEADERSHIP SEEMS TO NOT KNOW OR CARE THAT THE COST OF LIVING IS TOO HIGH BECAUSE OF GAS PRICES. POLITICIANS SEEM TO ONLY TRY HARD AT THEIR PET PROJECTS AND GETTING THEIR PARTY RE-ELECTED BY TRASHING THE OTHER SIDE INSTEAD OF CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING NEW AND EFFECTIVE IDEAS. AT THE SAME TIME THE “WEEK AND FEEBLE” MEDIA, LIES AND SPINS OR OMITS THE TRUTH AGAIN AND AGAIN TO PROTECT THEIR SIDE BECAUSE THEY FEAR THE OTHER SIDE, TOO MUCH TO TELL THE TRUTH!!!
"LOOK AT THE WAY THINGS HAVE GONE…WRONG!!!
I THINK WE KNOW WHO TO LAY THE BLAME ON!!!"

C & C SAW “IRON MAIDEN” IN CONCERT ON THE “DAYS OF FUTURE PAST” TOUR in which they played the “somewhere in time”album SONGS AND SONGS FROM THEIR LATEST ALBUM “SENJUTSU”. THE SHOW WAS AMAZING, COMPLETE WITH A GIANT "EDDIE" WHO GOT IN A SHOOTOUT WITH LEAD SINGER BRUCE DICKINSON. IT WAS THE KIND OF A MUSIC HIGH THAT TAKES A COUPLE OF DAYS TO WEAR OFF!!! THIS INSPIRED CYNDERBYRD TO START WORKING ON SONGS FOR A SCI-FI saga album. IN A DARK DYSTOPIAN FUTURE WHERE MANKIND'S POLLUTION HAS CHOKED OUT THE SUN, THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN FREEDOM FROM THE PEOPLE AND FORCED THEM TO TAKE A “TRACKING CHIP” OR THEY WILL RECIEVE NO FOOD OR MEDICINE. THOSE WHO REFUSE THE CHIP ARE LABELED "FERRELS" AND ARE OUTLAWS. THIS SAGA ALBUM WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO FINISH, AND IS HOPED TO BE COMPLETED SOMETIME IN 2025.
