January 1st 2007***

Happy 2007!~ New single is in the process of being mastered with Aardvark?! Lots new in the works! Thanks to all our friends who helped make 2006 a great year! See you soon!

The Omens are TOPS for 2006 according to the Rocky Mountain News who says... TOP ROCK AND ROLL BAND 2006 Why it's tops: The formula is simple: Take neck-snapping guitar riffs, add howls, fat drums and a menacing organ. Mix, then rock. The Omens read the recipe. This foursome takes elements of some of the best early garage rock (Stooges, Question Mark & The Mysterians) marries them to a hedonistic snarl and turns the volume knob past 11.

Well Well Well!, A few local Colorado shows coming up including a Friday the 13th(October) show at The Irish Rover. The Rover has laid down the gauntlet for the band to perform their own brand of traditional drinking songs so this will be one to remember.

The Omens have a new single coming out in a few weeks and then a trip off to San Francisco for the 5th Annual BUDGET ROCK WEEKENDER! With SLA, THE ORIGINAL SINS, FLAKES, And oh so much more! Stay tuned for more info! **As many of you know and some don't, Forrest Bartosh the fine drummer for The Omens had broken his wrist in July which made it quite difficult to hit the skins. We are happy to report that Forrest is all healed up and ready for more broken bones!

This months Razor Cake magazine carried a great review of the lastest Omens record: THE OMENS-DESTROY THE ESP -Denver, a bubbling musical hot spot long before theme park Elitch’s moved and the squatter-infested train station was turned into the center of civic pride, spews out the Omens’ sneering, stripped-down garage punk the way it all started. I feel as good as when I first heard the Oblivians. Requires Russ Meyer-busted go-go dancers, not included. –Jessica Thiringer (Hipsville Int’l...until next time!



The Omens are slated for a few appearances over the coming month. Check back here for more info...
