october 1, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. - The Greencastle-based band TGL -- which includes DePauw University students Will Cath (drums) and John Sibbitt (guitar and vocals) -- is hoping an Internet will increase its fan base. A story in the Banner Graphic describes how TGL (short for "The Good Life") "has plans to enter a video contest YouTube.com is sponsoring in conjunction with Cingular Wireless." Winners will be announced in four different categories and, among the prizes, will appear on ABC's Good Morning America. (photo at left by Andrew Hanson '06)
TGL has re-shot a video for its song, "Blue Star Highway," in high definition for the contest. Jason Moon writes, "The video was originally produced by former DePauw University student Brandon Dawson and directed by [2004 DePauw] graduate [Michael] McIraith '04." The article adds that Brian Goad '02, edited and produced the video. McIlraith and Goad served in similar roles when the original clip was made.

"TGL's sound is unique and feels authentic and compelling," - "Their music is really fun to listen to, and they have a great energy. Though I've never seen them live, I'm dying to," - "It's really impressive to see them out with some big artists, and they're clearly ready to take the next step in their career. They're not waiting for their fans to come to them; they're taking their music to the fans," - Ross Martin - Head of Programming at mtvU

They're back, but they never really left.

The rock-outfit TGL, consisting of former and current Greencastle High School students, will open up for national touring act Jack's Mannequin at the DePauw University Lilly Center on April 5.

TGL will hit the stage at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster for $10

Stewart said opening up for Jack's Mannequin is a "once in a lifetime opportunity." "Jack's Mannequin is fronted by the lead singer of another band called Something Corporate," "This show with Jack's Mannequin is kind of a, 'look, I told you so,' scenario," Stewart added. "I think a lot of people doubted us three years ago. Not too many people from around here get an opportunity like this."

Fans of TGL can also see a video for "Blue Star Highway" on the band's myspace.com website.


For now, the foursome is focused on its upcoming shows, including an April 21 show at DPU again with the Junior Varsity, another show in Greencastle on June 21, a show at the Black Sheep Cafe (Springfield, Ill.) on June 24, and a gig at Headliner's Music Hall in Louisville on June 25.
