Ever since I moved to Allen in 2009 I've attended Allen USA Celebration. It was hard not to know what was going on with hundreds of cars parked up and down my neighborhood road and in street medians. While the commercial Warped, Uproar, Mayhem, and other festivals all come and go each year, I've had my sights set on playing a festival in my back yard for 90,000 people. One could have considered my fixation/desire outlandish and a failure every year up until now. Rather than seeing past years as failures, and becoming discouraged, I ignored the overwhelming odds in the name of passion. If I hadn't seen the glass as half-full these last few years, I wouldn't be playing on stage this June in my backyard. Playing a break-through show this close to home is an unexplainable blessing of great proportion and is bound to be one hell of a blast! <i><b>- MW</b> </i><br />
<br />
Always the Alibi will be playing the annual Market Street Allen USA Celebration 2016 festival at 7:00 pm on Saturday, June 25th. Gin Blossoms to headline the event followed by the largest firework show in TEXAS sponsored by Harley Davidson.</div>

I've got some news that is simply out of this world! NASA has decided to include Always the Alibi's music on their radio rotation! And you don't have to be on the International Space Station to hear it! Download the NASA app on your phone and start listening to all of your favorite artists, including ATA!<br />

It's good to be back! But that leaves the question, "<b>Why did ATA go away?</b>" A lot has happened in the past year and a half, so we'll sum everthing up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Henry was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He required a surgical procedure followed by months of radiation therapy. Henry hung in there, and fortunately the tumor responded well to the treatments. We are thrilled to tell you that Henry is <b>100% recovered!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
While recovering, Henry decided he didn’t want to waste any more time. He had a few songs written prior to his diagnosis and, in retrospect, there was no time like the present! So Henry and Rich went down to Austin where they sought the expertise of Chris “Frenchie” Smith, a Grammy-nominated producer whose discography includes many great bands including Jet and Toadies. As soon as the EP was tracked, mixed, and played back, there were a lot of smiles in the room. From that moment Henry and Rich decided it was time to reform the group.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After a few months of looking Matt and Barry entered the picture. The roster was complete and the band ready to rock!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That catches us up to the present. We want to thank everyone who encouraged us during the difficult times and we are looking forward to the future! We hope you enjoy our music. We are <b>Always The Alibi</b>... and we will always be your alibi!</div>
