Lucent On-line Newsletter Vol. 2-10
We have so much to tell you guys about I want to get right to it. First off I want to drop you guys a message from Thunder Ministries INC. The Chat Room is up and running. We had some problems with it before but it is now working fine. This is a Christian chat room and I would like to invite everyone to link to the chat room if you would like one for your web site. Also be sure to check out the Thunder Ministries web site if you haven't been there lately.
LOW BANDWIDTH
People look for the best content, the greatest news and the quickest downloads to satisfy their needs and wants. Corporate and misdirected visionaries have missed the point entirely. What they don't seem to understand is that the greatest "push" has been underneath their noses since the Internet began... they've failed to realize it. The Lucent News letter is a part of this database along with the Christian E-zine The Narrow Gate. Visit us at http://www.disobey.com/low *The above description was used from the Low Bandwidth Site*
Extreme Christianity E-zine Review
Here is the long awaited review from the Extreme Christianity E-zine. Visit their web site at http://php.iupui.edu/~blgroce/eXtreme for this review and archived issues.
Artist: Lucent
Title: Demo '97
Label: Independent
Songs: 5
Style: Edge
What's in New Albany, Indiana? A group of guys who perform various types of music and perform feats of strength. Lucent has been performing feats of strength since 1989 but their goal has been to capture the full attention of the audience and to use that as a tool to reach out to them "for the glory of Jesus Christ".
The 5 songs on this demo are soon to be incorporated into a full length CD, which from what I've heard, seems very promising. Every song has great Christian lyrics and the mix of styles is sure to keep you on your feet. They are also going to be featured on the next comp put out by Jubilee Harvest, so be sure to look for that. I'd also encourage you to pick up some of their witness wear if you get a chance. (FYI, New Albany is 3 miles North of Louisville, KY)

CONCERT REVIEWS & NEWS
As you guys know we have been so busy lately I will try and not give you over load. Lets start with the Reality Check concert. WHAT A NIGHT! Reality Check is a wonderful example of Christian ministers. I think the one thing I remember most of the entire concert was walking into the locker room where Reality Check and us had been assigned to get ready for the concert. The guys and myself noticed a drawing on the board by reality check with a big guy lying on the ground. He had a skinny guy standing on top of him proclaiming "Reality Check challenges Lucent to a wrestling match, 2 Reality Check members against One Lucent Member!" Gladly enough they didn't take us up on the challenge and we made it without having to hurt them to bad. Just kidding, we had the opportunity to start a great new friendship and I encourage everyone to check out Reality Check at http://www.realcheck.com for more information about their ministry.
Craig, Mike and myself had a great time at God Stock. We were visiting with the group Awesome Power and the event proved to be another success. Some of the groups we had the opportunity to hang with was, Skillet, Newsong, & Shaded Red. All you Skillet fans be sure to ask skillet about the bent Skillet they received as a gift from Lucent at God Stock 98. They will have a funny story to tell you. Skillet, hope you like it, and to our friends Shaded Red, "it's to late". We are already doing the MA thing.
BATTLE OF THE BANDS........ or BOB as it was proclaimed. We took second place and had a wonderful time jamming out with 8 other bands. Can't wait till next year.
OCT. 31st, this Saturday is the big concert. Please keep us in your prayers. Lucent went on the air at 88.5 WJIE studio (http://www.wjie.org) during the edge program to help promote the concert. Those of you listening got to hear Lucent perform a new song "Next to You" live on the air. Below is the official press release from Thunder Ministries INC. Also, keep an eye out for next months newsletter as we will be giving you all the news on our first national radio release and the latest news on the CD's. Did you hear something about Thunder Records? I did, but I can't let the cat out of the bag.
On one final note. Lucent will be opening up for Wilshire next month in KY. I will give you the specific location, time, and date next week as soon as I get word.
