- TRULY DEVOTED To Being An International Community -

For those of you that weren't sure, the International Echoes Hub is based out of the USA. Although English is a very common language in many countries, some of our traders speak very little English if any at all. Imagine how terribly difficult it must be for them to have a clear understanding of how to sign up for access, then download and install our connection software, successfully connect and then have to translate rules and software written in English...

Well not anymore.  We have put together a plan but we need your help! Our plan emphasizes on comfort and we are making it a high priority to provide that to all current and future non-English speaking members.

Showing kind generosity, some of our current bilingual members have already volunteered to translate our home page and rules into other languages. The Echoes Hub Web site is now available in the following 12 languages: English, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Italian, Croatian, German and Polish! These links are now posted across the top of the inline frame. Thank you everyone for your dedication and hard work!

- Echoes Hub Records 'Brain Damage' as they Blow Away the Fans at Keegan's -

It seemed like their spectacular show in the Summer of 2005 at the Paradise Lake Campground was just a few weeks ago. "We have been waiting six months for this", said one snooty guy at a reserved table that was placed at exactly center stage. True loyal fans came from hundreds of miles away to support Brain Damage and see them perform. And they knew that they were in for a real good time!

We arrived about three hours early and walked in on a quick practice session of Welcome To The Machine. There were about fifteen people in the place, most were employees. We proudly walked past the bouncer with our VIP badges swinging from our necks and were quickly recognized and greeted with an ear-to-ear smile by the band members. Within just an hour the place was packed and fans were scattering for empty seats. As the sound elevated, the bar emptied and people flooded into the concert hall. The band performed top notch and the light show was just amazing. Over $100,000 in lighting equipment was used including their baby Mr. Screen with famous Floyd videos glowing behind them.
