You have to remember that it's hard work to not only record an album, but also to promote it and make your work known. If they don't work hard and concentrate on that occasionally, you aren't going to get the awesome music you usually get from them.

And everyone loves awards. It's human. ;)

That was due to a scheduling conflict. It looks like they were invited to play at a conference the same day they were to play here in Manitoba, so they had to cancel the date.

But yes, it was very disappointing to find out the concert I was most looking foreward to this year had been cancelled. But I understand why they had to do it...

But it's nice that they're having their release party in Winnipeg in June

As for the concerts becoming more like "concerts" and less like worship times and the guys being more about the awards etc. I have to say that I disagree. I was at their concert on the 2nd of March and while it was an amazing time for music etc. the overall feeling of the evening was one of worship. The last half hour of the concert was spent just worshipping and it was powerful. Also, I had the chance to talk to them and interview them afterwards and to them the awards are just a bonus on the side... it's all about God.

I dissagree with Crystal as well.......Starfield is an incredible band that is whole heartedly after God.....keep in mind that before they are Starfield they are all individual people and have their own lives to live .....I think its selfish of people to expect so much from them.....They can only do so much....and also remeber that God is the one who brought them to where they are....He knows whats best for them and what they can handle and where they are supossed to be....so just trust in Him .....i was at a point too where i was frustrated b/c i didnt get to see them in concert.....but God spoke to me and opened the door so that I still got to keep in touch with them and God blessed that so much....and then when I finally did get to see them again it was amazing... ...God knows whats best....even when we don't think He does....and even when He doesnt work things out the way we want Him too.....Starfield is very annointed...and totally after GOd...and God is going to bless them so much for that and trust me if they werent in this for GOds glory God wouldnt have brought them so far.....

alrighty then.. first off there are too many anonymous.. im getting confused as to who everyone is replying to.. anyways about the message about whether or not a band (such as starfield) is acting more performance driven than worship driven is a big one and since none of us is in the band.. it would be a hard one to say yes i think they are this and that today... etc etc. I've seen big bands and small bands... local ones and worldwide ones.. talked to them, hung around them.. and yes have found amazingly cool bands that are totally after God and seeking to join together the audience and God, while others were cranky, expected more because of who they were (whether it be local band or bigname band), and yes seemed more performance driven. and yes ive seen this in the same band(s). so really all you can do is just keep praying for these bands.. whomever you come across.. and don't let it get you down. just keep trying to encourage the guys and stick to.. Ephesians 4:29 amp version "Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it."
as well as Philippians 4:8 "For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]."
