RFB @ The Kirk

We’ve been holding off for a while now to tell you some exciting news.  As of March 1, the RFB is playing Sunday mornings at The Kirk in Tulsa, OK.  We love this because we are now plugged into a constant community of people who are passionate about praising our God.  We’ll be playing at weekend retreats, but you will be able to find us most Sunday mornings at The Kirk.  If you’re in Tulsa, come worship with us.

Tomorrow I (ryan) am picking up our newly designed, RFB, american apparel tshirts.  All the design work turned out to be brilliant.  That brilliance belongs to Brandon Horner.

Our new website should be up in the next few days.  We’ll let you know when she’s up and running.  Until then, keep dropping in.  If our words ever become stale and predictable let us know and I’ll start telling stories about undiscovered mammals.

Ear Molds for the RFB

A couple of weeks ago, we traveled to Tulsa to have custom molds made for our ears. The point of all this is to have custom, Westone, ES3, in ear monitors for the band. The process is really cool: First, they stick a camera with a light on it down your ear. The camera is hooked up to a t.v. monitor and displays a clear picture of the inside of your ear.  They look all the way through your ear canal until they can see your ear drum.  You’ll know when you see it because it appears to shine, like a star.  Next, they insert a small piece of cotton deep into your ear.  Don’t worry, there is a piece of string attached so they can pull it out. After that, they get this device that looks exactly like a caulking gun and fill your entire ear canal with a special paste. The paste is cold at first, but warms up rather quickly. Once the past is in your ear, you have to keep your face in the same position for about 7 minutes — this gives the past time to harden. If you move your face around, it could slightly change the shape of your molds — not good. Clearly, trying to keep our faces in the same position was the most challenging part of the process because we were giving our best effort to make each other laugh.  Once the past is firm, they pull on the string, attached to the cotton ball deep inside your ear, which pulls the entire mold of your ear out. Finally, they put it in a box, write your name on it, and ship it off to Westone to be made into a custom in ear speaker. If you’re ever in need for some in ear monitors, go visit Dr. Armstrong. They are great people. Here is a link of the exact Westone in ear monitors we got: Westone.  

I hope you’re doing well. Keeping dropping by and see what’s going on with the Ryan Fitz Band. Here are some photos of our recent custom molds experience. Enjoy.

Ryan Fitz Band Out ‘N About

We (Ryan Fitz Band a.k.a. RFB) have been on the road a lot lately.  We’ve had some incredible times of worship with so many students.  The relationships we’ve been blessed with are amazing.  God is doing some incredible things which we as a band are pumped to share with you, soon.  We’re working on a new website that will be up and running in the next couple of weeks.  Until then, drop in every couple of days and check out what’s happening.  I hope God has been stirring in your hearts. Here are some photos from a few of the last events we’ve played.
