John "As 2004 is sure to end, so are a long trial of memories that will never be forgotten. We are very proud of this this past years occomplishments. Traveling and sharing the stage with great talent and making friends on the way. We've laughed with each other and cried to each other. We've got to see this beautiful country of ours and the poeple in it. We take for granted sometimes the simple pleasures in life such as a good friend and a loved ones. We should know and let others know that we care about them more often. We'd like to remember a beautiful soul lost this year. Dimebag Darrell Abbott. An idolized man full of life, laughter and talent. He taught us all those simple pleasures in life and to be easy. He will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to family, friends and all fans of Dime. Stay strong for each other this year." All Acoustic Dropbox show 1/15/05 @ O'Donoghue's 205 1st st. Hoboken, NJ # 201-798-5595

Only a few dates are confirmed but this looks like a tour in the making starting in June. “As always we are writing and rehearsing. In fact, Bobby came over for dinner and we wrote some tunes over coffee and smokes”. Kosco says. “We’re looking forward to getting back on the road”. I asked John what new music he likes that came out this year. “I met Brent from Shindown at a recent radio show whose band I really like. A Dropbox Shinedown tour would be nice. I dig Sloth. I dig The Burden Brothers. Of coarse BLS.” “The shows on this tour were great. Bobby and Joey were constantly getting injured being dumb. Lee smoked more than his fair share of weed, Jimmy Ate more food than he has in years and I enjoyed passing out Dropbox thongs.” 6/3/04 Check out the

We actually composed an instrumental version of the original Transformers
theme song. They gave Bobby a pre-version of the game so now he's
gonna kick all our asses". 3/14/03 2/13/04 Dropbox Break From The Gate April 13thQUINTET IS GODSMACK SINGER SULLY ERNA'S FIRST SIGNING ON REALIGN/UNIVERSAL RECORDS February 6, 2004 New York, NY - Dropbox, Godsmack vocalist Sully Erna's first signing to Realign/Universal Records, will release its highly anticipated self-titled debut on April 13. The quintet (guitarist Lee Richards, vocalist John Kosco, guitarist Joe Wilkinson, bassist James Preziosa and drummer Bob Jenkins) detonate on impact with "DROPBOX," an explosive album of sprawling melodic rock delivered by a band with a deep reverence for the classics. "DROPBOX" was co-produced by Dave Jerden (Alice In Chains, The Offspring, Jane's Addiction) and Richards at Eldorado Studios in Burbank, CA. "It's dynamic and riff-driven with a warm, bass-heavy sound," says Kosco. "It's the kind of record best listened to with a pair of those old coil-wire '70s headphones." Dropbox came together in 2002, after Erna introduced Richards, Godsmack's original guitarist, to Kosco. "I met John backstage at a Godsmack show in New York," recalls Erna. "I put him and Lee together and they wrote some amazing stuff. I really believe in this band." In fact, Erna was so impressed by the band's bluesy fire, he joined in the recording process, playing drums on nine of the album's 12 tracks, including the blistering lead single "Wishbone." Like the rest of the album, the lusty "Wishbone" has the timeless feel of vintage rock, complete with the whiskey-soaked croon of a vocalist who can actually sing. "John really separates us from the pack," says Richards. "The majority of today's rock frontmen are rappers and screamers; he has a gritty, passionate delivery filled with emotion and it frees the band to write and record pretty much anything we want." Fans got a sneak preview of Dropbox this past summer, when Kosco and Richards joined Godsmack onstage during an acoustic set in New York. Reviewing the show, MTV.com's Jon Weiderhorn wrote, ".[Kosco and Richards] graced the songs with a little extra depth." Erna, Kosco and Richards also co-wrote and perform together on "Touche," which appears on Godsmack's upcoming acoustic CD, "THE OTHER SIDE." "Sully and I go way back," says Richards. "Our friendship has stayed strong throughout the years and that's a rare thing in an industry like this." The arrival of his first son prompted Richards to leave Godsmack in late '97. He returned to music a few years later, dabbling in various projects, but says nothing compares to the feeling of playing with Dropbox. "After Sully introduced me to John, we went to the studio with Joey, Bobby and Jimmy and after the first 20 minutes of playing together, I knew we had something special," says Richards. "Eighteen months later, we were making a record with Dave Jerden, one of the greatest producers in rock. Now we're getting ready to take these songs on the road. So far, it's been an incredible experience and we're just getting started." Look for Dropbox to open for Godsmack on U.S. tour dates this spring. |
