GOD'S VISION - MY STORY

VisionsXpressed has been in the making for my entire life, and without even knowing. However, God knew! God blessed me with the talent of art and creativity; the most wonderful, loving, and supportive parents; an amazing, talented, awe-inspiring daughter; and a wonderful career in graphic design. However, my life has included poor choices, hardships, loneliness, and an unexplainable emptiness. I've always believed in God, but yet I wasn't grateful in all thi… Continue

Day Three - The Performance - Part 2

Needless to say, after the verbal exchange with Pink, I was absolutely fuming! Not so much because of the dress removal thing, but more over her vicious tirade. I walked out of the dressing room into the club and joined up with the rest of our crew. I was still really mad and then I spotted him. I froze. Have you ever seen something or someone that for some reason really disturbs you? Maybe even frightens you? That night in the club, I did. There was this guy, dressed in drag, standing towards t… Continue

Day Three - The Performance - Part 1

Call time on performance day was 3PM. Call time is show biz lingo for the time we’re supposed to start shooting. Fancy, right?? We had a pretty interesting ride into NYC, but managed to make the 3PM shoot time. I have to admit I was extremely curious and excited to meet the other members of Erocktica. I don’t think I can say the same for them. Both bands kind of keep their distance from each other. We did exchange some small talk and had a few conversations, but it was obvious that we are reall… Continue

Day Two - The Rehearsal, Part Two

The 6PM hour was getting closer and we anxiously awaited Pink’s rule change. We knew it would involve something outrageous; we just weren’t sure how outrageous. We also couldn’t help but wonder how Mike was making out with the other band. Another aspect of the show involved a sort of “life line”. Both Mike and Pink were give cell phones with only one number programmed into the phone. From what I was told, each respective phone could only dial one number. Pink and Mike both provided the producer… Continue

Getting Flashbacks...If You can use me

Wow! I just read through Joey's account from beginning of the filming it began bringing back all sorts of emotions... Almost like I'm feeling the same things all over again. I think it's safe to say it was certainly an emotional and spiritual rollercoaster. One of the things I am most thankful for is that the rest of the guys in the band were really on the same page with me. If they weren't, this experience would have certainly been MUCH MORE difficult. And really the intense conflict that I exp… Continue

Day Two - The Rehearsal

Day two was the day we were scheduled to begin rehearsing with Pink. As I said yesterday, we were a bit anxious to see if she really could sing. One thing I forgot to mention yesterday; at our first meeting, Pink had a black envelope with her. Written on the envelope were the words, “open with Justpassingthru”. True to the “Wife Swap” concept, the contents of the envelope contained a note about a rule change. At 6PM on practice night, Pink would be allowed to change the rules of our rehearsal t… Continue

The First Day of Filming - Part Two

Sorry I left you hanging yesterday! OK, I left off with Pink making her first appearance at Mike’s house and Ron, Joe, and I all meeting her for the first time. I have to say, she is a force to be reckoned with. I mean, she definitely attracts attention and she is extremely flamboyant. The conversation started out fairly friendly. We discussed with her the meaning behind the song Overtake Me. This would be the song Pink would be performing with us. She asked about its meaning, purpose, lyrics,… Continue

The First Day of Filmng

Hey All, I'll do my best to give you an idea of just how amazing the reality show filming turned out to be. Now that I've had some time to reflect, I can't even begin to describe how humbled I am that God would use me (us) in such a powerful capacity. The premise of the show is basically wife swap, but with bands. The swapee is the lead singer from each band. Mike was leaving us to join a band and that band's singer was coming to play with us. The producer's of the show did a great job of keep… Continue

12 Stones and a Name -- Join Us!

When God showed his face to his people in the Old Testament, many times he asked them to stop, build an altar and worship him, and then make pass down the story. This filming for us was nothing short of an unforgettable experience that started as a really cool "promotional" opportunity (who wouldn't jump at the possibility of being on TV?!?!?) and ended up being one of the most intense spiritual battles that we have faced as a band. One of the most amazing things about this was ALL the prayer, e… Continue

What happened with the filming for FUSE TV?!?!?!?

We (Justpassingthru) just completed 3 days of filming for a new reality show for FUSE TV (the working title of the show is "Swapping Spit"). The concept is like "Wife Swap" but swapping lead singers from 2 bands with completely different music styles; the goal is to see how the lead singers will fare in their "new" band in a performance of one of the band's songs. We had no idea about who we would be paired up with for this filming, just t… Continue
