Hello and welcome back to Valles Flying Machine's blog and final thoughts on our Milwaukee Wisconsin gigs and very late summer tour....and here we are now in the very 1st days of Fall 2011 .......a new chapter about to begin..in our lives as artists...
All in All it was a fabulous and fantastic little journey...... here it is 5 days after arriving back in South Texas yet we still feel a little buzz and glow and a sence of ..."wow unbelievable we did it " mentality...From the get go it seemed like an almost non-obtainable..feat..to try and go to Milwaukee...the logistics were so out there..how would we approach it...? but with alot of thought,determination and contemplation, finnally we got all our ducks in a row we did it ! Eloy and Texas Joe with the Help of Noe Gonzalez....were able to breakout of South Texas and go very far away..and play our brand of rock and roll to an appreciative audience ..in Wisconsin..a serious note : if a person puts thier mind to it you can accomplish anything you want !
A big giant thank you to Daniel of RushMor Records ..in Milwaukee Wisconsin...with out his vision help and support our little but giant jaunt to "The North" would not have happened..! we will be working with him more in the future...Thanks also to Alan Davey of English band Gunslinger for all his help and enthusiasm also..!
We feel very sad about the fact that it is extremely hard work..almost useless.to try and get recognition and a fanbase in South Texas due to the social climate of our area let alone..the economic down turn that has gripped the area also..! so in the face of all this we will stubbornly try and put some effort into breaking new ground in South Texas and fine tuning our show...here in South Texas..write more and better songs have a visual light show..new and exotic instruments..gather a fanbase ..to keep reaching out...to far away places to bring our music to new audiences all over the United States and the world.Our next phase of artistic growth is about to begin !
October 2011 will see new Valles Flying Machine songs come to life...like no one expects..! and they will rock !
A whole slew of new songs are about to be recorded for placement on Itunes/Bandcamp/on CD's/and Vynil-records/and other downloadable websites..
One thing people have to realize is this; The whole time Valles Flying Machine was playing and planning during the whole summer...from early May 2011 to Sept 2011..all the way up to the week of our Milwaukee Mini Tour...Texas Joe Valles has been writing and working on new songs for the band...he is never still when it comes to the bands music...he is almost always writing, thinking, and arranging new songs...new album titles..new artwork and new artists..illustrations and paintings to help the band focus and perpetuate its artistic dreams! Getting a 12 string acoustic back in April of 2011 was a huge help and and musical wellspring for the band ! as Texas Joe has writtten well over..10 new songs for the band...the 12 string was an artistic conduit to make these song ideas come alive..!
3 songs of note that we will start focusing on have these working titles..all on 12 string guitar...but very progy sounding..in the vein of bands like Hawkwind,Yes,early Genesis,P.F.M. Glass Harp and Rush. they are titled as such...
1.)Thankful for The Harvest..
2.) The Alexandria Star....
3.) Carry on Dragonfly....
all 3 songs are full blown rockers...and will surprize the audience with Valles Flying Machine's mature yet very powerful delivery of its muse ! be on the look out...
So in closing this blog...The summer ended with a great voyage out of Texas to Wisconsin...Summer 2011 has ended..Fall 2011 is here and the V.F.M. is about to record a whole slew of new songs and redefine its live image to the world..be on the lookout....we close this blog with some photos of V.F.M. on Stage in Milwaukke Wisconsin @ Bayveiw Music Festival and with family..hope you like them...enjoy..

Rosanna Valles our cousin andEloy Valles Sept 16th 2011 Eloy Valles at Rosanna place in Depue Ilinois thanks for the Bed&Breakfast cuz we love you ! ;0)
Eloy takes foto of Texas Joe desperately trying to get 12 string guitar in tune for the show..the long drive and very hott to very cold weather did a number on this guitar..!
Texas Joe still trying to get 12 string in tune...5 to 10 minutes sometimes feels like hours when you are tuning a guitar..in front of a large audience..no budget for roadies.. ha ha !
September 17th 2011 Milwaukee Wisconsin ...Texas Joe and Noe Gonzales putting final touches on amp settings and pedals right before we go on..Eloy took all these pix !
Noe Gonzalez on Bass Guitar helped out the Valles Flying Machine..for this Northern Jaunt..thanks to him for helping us out at the very last minute..since Noe Valles has..some pretty heavy duty responsibilities he cannot get away from right now in South Texas in order to tour with the V.F.M.
Eloy Valles's pawnshop pride and joy a 200.00 road, rig a Blue Pearl Drumset found in a pawn shop here in South Texas just weeks prior to the Wisconsin gigs..! it sounded excellent Eloy tore it up!
Texas Joe finnally ready ...breathing a sigh of relief as he got the 12 string in tune and was ready to rock ! about to take the cap off and let the freak flag fly ha ha ! long hair still rocks !
one last foto before Eloy jumped on stage...Noe G. in background we were under alot of pressure to really kik some ass and we did pretty good the crowd loved us...a Wisconsin girl has those crowd pix hope we can get them soon !
almost underway sound guy in background giving the go ahead... the crowd slowly moving up to where we were about to play BAYVIEW BASH Festival September 17th 2011 Milwaukee Wisconsin...there were 4 stages of music...and hundreds of people moving and swaying towards the stages as the bands started very kool..!
Here is the main reason Noe Valles cant tour outside of Texas with Eloy and Joe for the immidiate future....he has a new baby boy...."Little Pingwiino"...born early this year...and he is a handful...for now ....as you can see...we hope u have enjoyed the pix ...new page in life..new terms...new goals...have fun !
