Weatherstock VII, July 2015
Yay, we are in!
Weatherstock 2015 - preconcert on 19th of June (Landorval)
We come. We play. We rock!
The preconcert went perfectly! From the lyrical action of Lanvoc's "Smurfs" to the sad, depressing lyrics of Bruzo's "1916," we couldn't have asked for a better show. We'd like to thank everyone who came out to support us and the Weatherstock Organizers. We'd also like to that the Lonely Mountain Band, who hosts Weatherstock every year, for allowing us this opportunity and gift of getting to share our music with other players.
Good luck to all of us!
~The Band
P.S.: Couldn't make it to the show, you're in luck! www.twitch.tv/barafunda has our show record and stored! This and more videos in "Videos" section.

Weatherstock 2015 - A Night full of Stars (July 25th, Landroval)
Great interview with Priemchen Honigsuess
Another Year Behind Us: 2014 In Summary
2014 was a great year for the band in all. We played at Weatherstock VI, we played on Zedrock's Horrorfest, and we played at many more events across Crickhollow, Brandywine, Landroval, and of course, our home server, Dwarrowdelf. This year, we made a big improvement from the year before. To give a simple idea of how far we have come, we went from being in SEVENTH place of EIGHT bands in Weatherstock V(2013) to WINNING Weatherstock VI(2014). We've made new friends among many server, and among those we count the Mondbarden, Die Meisterbarden Von Bree, The Songburrow Strollers, and more.
We have had our ups and downs, but all in all 2014 was a great year for A Rock and A Hard Place. We had our difficulties towards the end of the year, adjusting to the Update 15 music system, but we survived.
We hope 2015 will be just as great, and that we will get to continue to share our music with he great members of the LoTRO community. Thank you to all of our friends, across the servers, for your assistance and for the fun you've offered us at your many events.
Sincerely,
A Rock and A Hard Place

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015
It's already Christmas time and one year has passed again so swiftly. It was a year with lots of fun, dramatic moments, big wins, computer troubles, mega-trolls, sad departures and happy returns. In other words, it was a wonderful year! At this Christmas time and for the New Year, I wish you lots of magic moments, happiness, love and PIES! */hugs and kisses :-)
