Whoa nelly, it's been a while since we've kept you posted on news. How do we expect our hoards of rabid fans to stay sustained on 1 update every two months? No excuses. You should really hear our album, it sounds really good, the album is flowing with childrens choirs, sax ensembles and more love than you can shake a piano at. It's way fun and continues to be a challenge. Hopefully you'll all hear it very soon. Tell us if you care. See above: a rock show we will play, it will be different from any show Wonderful has ever played, thank goodness. Also we'll keep you posted for Wonderful on KGRG spinning our friends records and talking about ourselves. Keep an eye on summer. -w

Also, we can't be more excited about playing with our best Friends for Heroes again.We're still very hard at work on our album. Many layers of vocals were laid down this weekend on Beach, Call Me Sunshine and My How You Come Alive at "Jason's Room Studios." 12 songs are now started and that looks to be the lucky number for this, Wonderful's 1st full length record. Thanks again for telling us what you think. Shoot the Light!! -w

Spring has arrived, Glory BE!!!!! Only one season away from the "Summer of Love 2002." Last weekend we all headed up to "Rocktropolis/BC Studios" to record the infamous "Pete's Piano" on Rivers Overflow. Three new, never-played-live songs, Adrianne, Baby Boy Blue and Pagoda were also started on the piano this weekend. Phil Peterson, of Dolour studio fame, also pulled out his cello and pocket trumpet and contributed to well over 2 other tracks. The album is coming right along and sounding great, thanks for the feedback!!! Thanks so much for the download traffic as of late, you've all been great, keep grabbin' those songs and spreading the love and we'll try to get more songs up for you all.
