Hammerheads!
How is everyone?!?!?! Some really exciting times are ahead, so I wanted to reach out to you all and let you know what we have been up to lately.
The next chapter in Heavy Crown will be releasing the first single to radio. Many of you ask why your station won't play it if you send it to them. The answer is that they have to wait till they get it from the label. Soon, stations will have our first single "Guns" and you will be able to request it and hopefully hear it until your ears bleed. We have partnered up with the top Radio Promotion company, which will also assist in a few other areas of the band on the label side as well - sales, marketing, etc. We met these people abotu a year ago, and fell in love with them as people, as well as their work ethic, their drive, honesty, and hard work. We are a very difficult group to work with, cause we are nonstop, and need everyone around us to be at that same level. Many people are asking why "Guns" is the first single. After considerable thought and deliberation, as well as feedback from all of you, we decided that we needed to go to rock radio first, and we liked the message "Guns" was giving. This is a very scary time in this world, and people are sacrificing their lives, but they get forgotten very easily. This is a thank you and a homage to our troops who are out there, and will most likely be out there for quite sometime. We have family and friends out there, as most of you do, so this is for them. Oh, and the song rocks too!
LA UPDATE:
I think VIP tix may be gone, but we added some packages in order to make things more cost effective. You can get tickets here:
www.ticketmaster.com/event/090042FF9C486B44?artistid=1349562&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1
The newest package is 4-pack in which a ton of money is saved. We made thsi package specifically for families. We are blessed with a fanbase that reaches many generations, and many shows turn into a family event. In order to keep costs down, we made this package. This package will not be available the day of the show, so please take advantage of this while you can. There are also some great hotel deals and flight deals on Expedia for those of you that are travelling....
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 - there will be an event for all of you to attend on Saturday, September 26 in LA (hollywood area). It will be a FREE event, we will be there, FREE DRINKS, etc. This again is something we are doign to say thanks for all of you that are travelling and spending your hard earned money in these tough times. We will announce where this "Party" will be at the show on Friday.
DINO'S CHALLENGE 
This is a big show for us in LA, and I want to make sure that there is a full crazed house. There are quite a few of you already coming, and another bunch on the fence. For those of you that are on the fence, I challenge you to find a way to make it. Hopefully with the new packages, and the free night on Saturday, you will be swayed if it was a money issue. For those fo you that are already coming, I am challening you to find 4 more people to attend the show. Friends, family, strangers, neighbors, or any music lover you may know or run into. These 4-packs make tickets $12.50 a person, so I am hoping we can each find some people that would invest that to discover or re-discover a great band and hopefully friends they will have for a lifetime. I consider all Hammerheas a family, and we are always looking to procreate, so please each of you take this challenge and run with it. The only way this band can grow is with all of you. We took a risk not signing with a label to have more interaction with all the Hammerheads, and to get all the Hammerheads out there more involved. The only downside is that we don't have the money or huge resources for the marketing and promotion. The upside is that we have something better - ALL OF YOU! Together, there is nothing that can stop us - REEP Records - Record Executives Everyday People - that si all of us. Me, you, everybody! Everybody has a say in what happens, but at the same time, in order to make this work, we need everyone to help out. So your assignment is to each get a 4-pack sold. I too will do this, as will all members of the band, and hopefully all of the Hammerheads out there!
SONGS - we heard and read everyone's suggestions and we will be adding a few more songs from the album in the set. We will also be playing a LONG set, so get read to rock, and maybe even roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAMMERFEST 3?
NYE?
ROCK!
