Good news for those waiting on the Soundgarden book Photofantasm – Nudedragons to King Animal. We are also dedicating the book to one of Soundgarden’s most loyal fans and Knights in memory of Tiffany Patterson Gross. Many of us knew her well, her courageous battle with Cancer, in addition to how generous Chris and Vicky Cornell, their family, and team were to Tiffany. We will work with the Foundation we are donating the proceeds to and figure out what portion will be dedicated to a cancer cause in her name. The details of this are being worked on and will be announced when the book comes out this year. The book has always opened with Tiffany’s photos in the first Nudedragon chapter but we are including a special moment’s section as well. The book has been delayed for several reasons, this being one of them plus we are doing a redesign of the layout. For us personally we had a great deal of grief last year due to loss and we want to be in the right frame of mind to complete the book. The plan is the latter part of 2014. Thank you for your enthusiasm and patience.

Spoondog Entertainment Group, LLC is publishing a fan based photo journal over two years in the making documenting Soundgarden’s performances from 2010, 2011 and 2012 and is now accepting fan photo and story submissions.

SEATTLE, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Alternative Country Rock band Guns of Nevada is excited to perform at Live Nation and ACM Promoter, Brian O’Connell’s, inaugural Watershed Music Festival. Located at The Gorge Amphitheater in the Pacific Northwest, it’s an ideal setting with breathtaking landscape and sweeping views of the Columbia River. With superstars ranging from Dierks Bentley, Kix Brooks, Sara Evans, Brantley Gilbert, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and many others expect the event to be a memorable experience fans will not forget.
 
This will be the third time Guns of Nevada has played at the picturesque Gorge Amphitheater. This time they will be performing songs off their new album titled “SONGS IN THE KEY OF WHISKEY.” To encourage their fans to experience them live, Guns of Nevada is holding a drawing for a FREE pass for the entire three-day festival (valued at $90), plus a “SONGS IN THE KEY OF WHISKEY” CD autographed by the band and currently available for purchase on iTunes. The drawing and winner will be announced June 23, 2012. The winner must meet three criteria: registered with the Guns of Nevada mailing list at GunsofNevada.com; “LIKE” the Guns of Nevada Facebook page; and follow @GunsofNevada on Twitter.

Although considered alternative country rock, Guns of Nevada is a unique mix of Cowpunk meets Americana with their melodic three and four part harmonies, foot-stomping groove and fist pounding rhythms. According to Dennis Pelowski, Manager of The Meat Puppets “Guns of Nevada’s new album ‘SONGS IN THE KEY OF WHISKEY’ is cool. Go figure. How did a band of Seattle-ites come up showing the talents of true southern soul country – and that includes Skynyrd. You will want this as road trip fuel.” The first single off their new album “My Bible and My Gun,” can be heard here.
 
“This is just one of several announcements we have planned for Guns of Nevada in 2012,” says manager, Jaye English, of Spoondog Entertainment Group.

Seattle, WA – Live Nation Entertainment and ACM Promoter of the Year Brian O’Connell are leading the charge for a new country festival where the music and atmosphere will rival the serene, natural
beauty of the landscape. Watershed Music Festival will take place August 3, 4 and 5 at the iconic
Gorge Amphitheatre and is set to feature a versatile lineup of artists, camping, late night sets,

provides a picturesque backdrop for the laid back, country vibe O’Connell has envisioned for this truly
unmatched festival. Three day festival passes go on sale May 5 at Ticketmaster.com and

“The Gorge provides a feeling that is impossible to recreate anywhere else,” said O’Connell. “It is truly
a magical place and provides the perfect setting for a cool, eclectic country event. We wanted to
create something that didn’t exist, from the caliber of artists to the camping and the atmosphere. I’m
excited to be a part of it and see it all come together.”
 
“In the storied 25 year history of The Gorge, we’ve been fortunate to host many of the nation’s top
country artists, but all have been single day concerts,” said Jeff Trisler, President of Live Nation
Seattle. “For years, we’ve wanted to host a multiple day country festival that builds on the tremendous
success of our annual Sasquatch! Music Festival and Dave Matthews Band residency. We believe
this event will bring that same sort of excitement and energy to The Gorge for an entirely new group of
music fans.”

The Gorge Amphitheatre, located in George, Wash., is undoubtedly one of the most scenic concert
venues in the world and offers sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge. The area itself is a
watershed for the Columbia River, thus inspiring the name of the event. Watershed Music Festival will

The amphitheatre has been the home of many historic concerts from bands such as Pearl Jam, Dave
Matthews Band, Phish, Van Halen, Rush, Radiohead, Tim McGraw, Aerosmith, Metallica, Rascal
Flatts, John Mayer, The Police, Brad Paisley, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the annual

WATERSHED MUSIC FESTIVAL Press Release

SEATTLE, March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Guns of Nevada, a Seattle based band with musical influences ranging from Social Distortion to The Rolling Stones, has launched their latest album “SONGS IN THE KEY OF WHISKEY.” The first single off the album, “My Bible and My Gun,” can be heard here.
 
With two albums under their belt, Guns of Nevada consists of four veterans of the Seattle music scene: Earle Thunders, lead vocalist and guitar; Ted Walker, bass and vocals; John Holme, drums and vocals; and Scott Riley, guitar. Their first release was mastered by legendary Seattle producer and icon, Jack Endino, who is well known for his work with Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Nirvana. Also to their credit, Guns of Nevada music has been featured in three independent films and on the CMT reality show, “The Chopper Challenge.”
 
Spoondog Entertainment Group recently signed Guns of Nevada and is now representing them as management. According to Thunders, “We are thrilled to be partnering with the team at Spoondog Entertainment Group. With the release of our new album, ‘SONGS IN THE KEY OF WHISKEY,’ our upcoming debut arena show and opening for national acts this year, we couldn’t be happier. We’re looking forward to new songs and bigger and better shows.”
 
Experiencing Guns of Nevada live is where you’ll see them shine, whether playing to standing room only crowds in the heart of the club scene or energizing crowds in rural settings. “Although Guns of Nevada is classic rock and roll fun, we think they have a distinct sound — a unique blend of Cowpunk, Americana, and Roots Rock. Their flavor of music is inspired by timeless bands like The Clash, Social Distortion, the Ramones and even AC/DC,” says manager, Jaye English, of Spoondog Entertainment Group.
 
2012 will be a pivotal year for Guns of Nevada. In addition to their new album, they are gearing up to hit the road for numerous performances throughout the year including opening for Great White March 31st at the Backstage Bar in Tacoma, WA, playing at the Comcast Events Center May 12th in Everett, WA, and headlining at The Hard Rock Cafe May 18th in Seattle.
