THE RELEASE OF MOMENTUM 01-02-09
The second Fox Elipsus double-album "Momentum" is finally complete! Final mastering and manufacturing are being done as we speak, and the official release date is now set at January 2nd, 2009.
Read about Momentum here: http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=10102302541
Until the release date, one song per day will be released online on MYSPACE. To begin with, two songs on Xmas Eve and three on Xmas Day were just released for you (some of them have yet to be mastered).
To hear six new songs from "Momentum", go to: http://www.myspace.com/foxelipsus
HORIZON COMPETITION
If you are the first person to correctly guess what the new song "Head For The Horizon" is about specifically, then you will receive a free signed copy of "Momentum"! Winner will be announced in January's newsletter - if there is a winner! Please e-mail all competition submissions to ELIPSUS@GMAIL.COM with the e-mail title "HORIZON COMPETITION"
For more details on this competition, click here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=51865403622
MYSPACE MUSIC COMPETITION
Choose which songs stay on Fox's myspace: http://www.myspace.com/foxelipsus - between 6pm each day and 6pm the next day, e-mail ELIPSUS@GMAIL.COM and rank your 3 fave songs currently on the music player on that page. If you successfully e-mail Fox your top 3 each day for 7 days, you will be entered into a draw to win a special signed copy of Momentum!
For more details on this competition, click here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=51865403622
HEAR MOMENTUM IN FULL BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DOES
Pre-sale Momentums will be mailed out several days before the release date. If you buy Momentum now, you will get it before anyone else does. It is only $10. "Momentum" and last year's debut "Changing History" are $10 each using card/paypal. If you prefer, e-mail ELIPSUS@GMAIL.COM to make an order, and you can pay by cash/check/money order through the mail after you receive the albums.
NEED YOUR HELP
As well as purchasing "Momentum" and "Changing History" above, if you can afford it, please consider a small donation to Fox's music. Fox still sleeps in cars or on fans' couches more often than not when on tour, in order to keep the music alive. Fan donations paid for 50% of the production of the new album (which is amazing, because it is very expensive to produce a new album!), if Fox receives even a small portion of that generosity for the upcoming tour, then it won't be nearly as rough as the first tour! Fox is truly, deeply grateful for all of the support.
Fox also needs a very warm winter coat (for the Jan/Feb shows!), some awesome (possibly home-made?) visual banners and advertising to display at the free shows on the Momentum tour, and a decent video camcorder to make a tour documentary while on the road, as well as some 80s-style impromptu music videos for tracks from "Momentum".
E-mail Fox directly to make donations: ELIPSUS@GMAIL.COM
If you have no pennies to spare, but a little time on your hands, here is another way you can help! With the release of a new album and a 9-month continental tour, comes a huge amount of work. If you would like to help Fox, as little or as much as you like, with some tour promo work (anything from 5 minutes a week and up!) please e-mail ELIPSUS@GMAIL.COM

SHOW REVIEW
ELIPSUS 2008 NORTH AMERICA TOUR
DATE 8: FRI JAN 25TH, 7PM-10.30PM
BORDERS BETHEL PARK
PITTSBURGH, PA
***FIRST EVER OUT OF STATE ELIPSUS SHOW***
***FIRST EVER PITTSBURGH ELIPSUS SHOW***
***FIRST EVER PENNSYLVANIA ELIPSUS SHOW***
***THE LONGEST SHOW OF MY LIFE***
Tour Date 8 was amazing. Bethel Park, PA. I'll remember this one forever. What a night! It went absolutely wonderfully. I just want to thank everyone that made that possible. That means you!
First and foremost I would like to thank Julie aka Elipsusgurl for working so hard, and always taking care of business... for being my companion on my trip down here and being so supportive. It was great to have you there tonight for my first out of town show.
Secondly, well what can I say? Joanne S, the fan club President really outdid herself this time. After some of the busiest days of my life, I overslept this morning and for all intents and purposes, would have been late for my first ever out of town show. But not if Joanne had anything to do with it. She... (a) printed up the best possible directions, which guided us perfectly from Interstate 79 through the twisting and turning mountainous streets of the south suburbs right to Borders. (b) Assembled 200 CDs for sale on this tour in... wait for it... wait for it... LESS THAN 24 HOURS... I dropped them off after dark yesterday... she had them ready this morning. (c) Provided us with a list of eateries which enabled us to find Primanti Bros tonight. (d) does there need to be a d? That's pretty amazing. THANK YOU JOANNE. I would like to dedicate this show to you, for that reason. Even though you couldn't be here, you were here.
Thirdly, I would like to thank Brian from Borders Bethel Park. What a friendly guy! He booked this show with me, RSVPd with my Pitt fan club, and did not even bat an eyelid that I was 6 minutes late (and didn't get started until well after 7.20). He was the most gracious of hosts, and treated me wonderfully well, and helped make this first out of state tour date a huge success.
Fourthly, I would like to thank the cute girls working at the cafe for staying the whole time (who cares if they were getting paid), for the Chai, and for being so supportive.
Fifthly, to the lady in the corner who stayed the full 3 hours, and gave me Steelers Merchandise, a sticker for my keyboard, and team photos. Thanks so much! I think she almost offered us a place to stay too :)
Sixthly, to the deer, for not dying. I'll explain shortly. That would have ruined the day.
Seventhly to the architects of this amazing town. It takes our breath away.
And finally, I would like to thank everyone that was there. Most of you are not on myspace, but nevertheless you were there, and you stayed for over three hours and gave me a great audience for the longest show of my life. That includes the sweet Luc from San Sebastian/Madrid, and the guys who came down from North Hills just to see the show. You were a wonderful, wonderful audience.
Thanks also to everyone who bought the CD, my second highest sales total for a Borders show ever.
We didn't leave Buffalo until 4.20pm. We arrived at Bethel Park Borders at 7.06pm. I suppose I should also thank the state troopers for not pulling me over... I think I averaged about 95mph the whole way here. I was doing 105mph for part of the way. After the show, though, I did run into the cops, who pulled me over for driving strangely while looking for Primanti's around the Strip District. They took about 20 seconds to check out my interim license, and then directed me to Primanti's, boasting that it is open 24 hours.
The before-and-after of the show was certainly dramatic. Even after one of the craziest drives of my life, to get here in time (kind of), it was what happened afterwards that was the most remarkable. We were driving away from Borders, just a few blocks away, and what should we see, but two deer run across the road in front of us. They were small. Then two grown up deer were waiting to follow them but traffic was heavy. We did a u-turn and tried to scare them into going the other way, but it didn't work. They wouldn't budge. One of them was staring right into our eyes. Finally, they bolted and took off across the road. The one who had stared at us was smashed into the air by a speeding SUV doing about 40mph. We started screaming. Then a police officer showed up. He told us the deer was alright. We looked and sure enough the deer had got back to its feet and run off into the hills. It was crazy. It had been knocked flying for about 20 feet, but had survived.
It was a very emotional night. A wonderful show, great CD sales, after a crazy few days, and a 100mph+ drive from Buffalo North Suburbs to Pittsburgh South Suburbs in 2 hours 46 minutes. Then the deer incident. Then we stopped on top of the North Hills and looked out at the most beautiful city we have ever seen (see the poster of tonight's show, to see what we were seeing), and it took our breath away. That view was... heaven. They built a special observation deck and that's where we sat and enjoyed the view. It was a miracle.
And then we finally located the strip district, and made our way to Primanti Brothers, and after being stopped by the Pittsburghese cops on the approach, finally made it inside and devoured two of the sandwiches (they are so huge some would call them megawiches) that made Primanti's famous around the Pittsburgher world.
And the crowd... I mean, if the Daily Grind crowd stayed long, this crowd was crazy. There were people that stayed over three hours. And quite a few of them supported the show and the gas money it took to get here by purchasing a signed copy of Changing History.
The store was really cool. It is one of the few Borders that has a lower level, and it is probably the coolest one I've ever been in. What a place to perform my first ever out of state show! What a great memory! A dramatic, frenetic, pulsating, roller-coaster ride of a day and night, and one of the most memorable of my life. Thank you JULIE, thank you JOANNE, thank you FANS, thank you COPS, thank you BRIAN, thank you PRIMANTI'S, thank you DEER, and thank you PITTSBURGH, PA!
I am very very glad there are three shows in Pittsburgh. This is one of my favourite towns in the world. I can't get enough of this place. It's like nowhere else I've ever been. Wooooooooo. I should have gone to school here.

BORDERS BETHEL PARK
PITTSBURGH, PA
***FIRST EVER OUT OF STATE ELIPSUS SHOW***
***FIRST EVER PITTSBURGH ELIPSUS SHOW***
***FIRST EVER PENNSYLVANIA ELIPSUS SHOW***
***THE LONGEST SHOW OF MY LIFE***
Tour Date 8 was amazing. Bethel Park, PA. I'll remember this one forever. What a night! It went absolutely wonderfully. I just want to thank everyone that made that possible. That means you!
First and foremost I would like to thank Julie aka Elipsusgurl for working so hard, and always taking care of business... for being my companion on my trip down here and being so supportive. It was great to have you there tonight for my first out of town show.
Secondly, well what can I say? Joanne S, the fan club President really outdid herself this time. After some of the busiest days of my life, I overslept this morning and for all intents and purposes, would have been late for my first ever out of town show. But not if Joanne had anything to do with it. She... (a) printed up the best possible directions, which guided us perfectly from Interstate 79 through the twisting and turning mountainous streets of the south suburbs right to Borders. (b) Assembled 200 CDs for sale on this tour in... wait for it... wait for it... LESS THAN 24 HOURS... I dropped them off after dark yesterday... she had them ready this morning. (c) Provided us with a list of eateries which enabled us to find Primanti Bros tonight. (d) does there need to be a d? That's pretty amazing. THANK YOU JOANNE. I would like to dedicate this show to you, for that reason. Even though you couldn't be here, you were here.
Thirdly, I would like to thank Brian from Borders Bethel Park. What a friendly guy! He booked this show with me, RSVPd with my Pitt fan club, and did not even bat an eyelid that I was 6 minutes late (and didn't get started until well after 7.20). He was the most gracious of hosts, and treated me wonderfully well, and helped make this first out of state tour date a huge success.
Fourthly, I would like to thank the cute girls working at the cafe for staying the whole time (who cares if they were getting paid), for the Chai, and for being so supportive.
Fifthly, to the lady in the corner who stayed the full 3 hours, and gave me Steelers Merchandise, a sticker for my keyboard, and team photos. Thanks so much! I think she almost offered us a place to stay too :)
Sixthly, to the deer, for not dying. I'll explain shortly. That would have ruined the day.
Seventhly to the architects of this amazing town. It takes our breath away.
And finally, I would like to thank everyone that was there. Most of you are not on myspace, but nevertheless you were there, and you stayed for over three hours and gave me a great audience for the longest show of my life. That includes the sweet Luc from San Sebastian/Madrid, and the guys who came down from North Hills just to see the show. You were a wonderful, wonderful audience.
Thanks also to everyone who bought the CD, my second highest sales total for a Borders show ever.
