The lead singer and his wife are friends of mine that have an awesome band (they top the charts sometimes- but especially in Europe). Don't know what kind of music you like but theirs has interesting lyrics (usually centering on old stories or myths), with a great dance beat and a very romantic sounding violin that blends in incredibly with the rest.

Yes, I met them years ago at a convention, struck up a friendship and later started doing artwork for them (did an album cover for them as well). I haven't been in contact as much lately due to now having a family and having no time to go to concerts and cons and such. Anyways, they keep super busy and are almost always touring!
Did they pay you pretty well? I guess having a family might be a worthwhile trade off so long as it's a good family situation you have. And it does seem to be based on what you have said. I still haven't decided if it's for me or not.

So far the intro sounds pretty cool, I'll check it out more and get back with you later.
