You Hear It... First

Hey Soul Mates,
we can announce our next show now. We'll be back at the Good Hurt on Tuesday Oct. 25 at 10:30 pm. The bill looks pretty good. Sorry but the show is 21 and up. Entry is $5 at the door when you download this flyer. Click the image for a larger version.



Also, the new Indie Airplay is posted. We are not in the top 5 this week, but they discussed our CD release show and condensed our interview into a 5 minute segment. The train keeps on rolling. The DJs mentioned all of the e-mails they've received in support of RHS. That's a beautiful thing. We love you right back!

Finally, the tracks from our new EP are almost ready to debut on iTunes and your favorite download service. Perfect for your iPods, etc. A limited number of discs will also be sold through CD Baby shortly. Check CD Baby for availability.

*7 new pictures from BB King's have been posted on RHS.com Many more to come.

Talk to you later,
Love, Power, Peace.

Party Pictures and Some Party People

Hey Soul Mates,
it's getting late, but I've just posted the first handful of pictures from our CD release party. There are about 40 more to go through and get onto RHS.com. Let this whet your appetite. Be sure to look for yourself in the photos as we're going to have quite a few audience shots. Included in the first couple of pix are my brother Nate who MC'd the night and Jackie who ran our merchandise stand. Also a fun shot of some Soul Mates on the balcony.

We've been getting lots of offers for shows for Oct and Nov. I'll tell you now that we are going to book some really good shows and we keep in consideration all of the feedback we've gotten from you. We'll probably play West LA in October and be back in the Valley/Hollywood for November. It's nice to be wanted for shows, but some of the gigs we could take aren't optimal. Some, however, are. We have such a cool fan base. Y'all come to the shows, dress swell, dance and drink and for the most part are incredibly courteous to the venues we play (Portner not withstanding. Dang, Simple. No more Long Islands. Cut 'em off!). Bookers really appreciate that about us. You all deserve the credit.

I'm currently listening to PM Dawn's Jesus Wept. What an amazing album. It loses steam by the finish, but the front end has some outstanding tracks like Downtown Venus and Apathy...Superstar!? I remember really digging it when it came out 10 years ago. Lots of production that presages the Neptunes' sound. The last I heard of PM Dawn one was in trouble with the law, the other was ill. I'll have to see what happened to them. There's a really good resource I've mentioned before, the All Music Guide, that I use to get tons of musical info. Highly recommended.

Gotta sleep.
Love, Power, Peace

Sweet.

Hey Soul Mates,
our interview has been posted on Suite108 today, Sept. 26. It's been podcast in it's entirety. Meaning the show lasts 50 minutes. It includes all 3 full musical performances and everything I told you about last week. I hope that you enjoy it. And if you are so moved, please let us know what you think via this blog or myspace. Better yet, let the station know what you think.

We really had fun spending time with Sara Routh (the host) and playing for the audience in attendance. It's an experience we look forward to repeating in the future. The station had some nice things to say in their description of the group and I think we acquitted ourselves nicely during the interview.

Thanks again for everyone's support.

Love, Power, Peace

p.s. Parental discretion is advised when listening to the interview. Definitely do not play out-loud at work. There are a few choice words laced in the conversation. Sweet.
