CBGB GALLERY PERFORMANCE (NYC 7/14)

HEAR HITB ON LAST.FM

NEW SONG AT VAMPIREFREAKS.COM

Aw yeah! =D


LIVE AT CBGB LOUNGE JULY 14TH!

For a long time we've gotten messages from those of you who are
underage and lack proper grown-up disguises saying they couldn't
getinto our shows. Not only that, but you've told us you couldn't get
into ANY shows AT ALL because promoters pretend people under 21 are as
likely to exist as the Loch Ness Monster.

Out of the kindness of her heart, our favorite goth promoter Althea
hashelped us remedy this with our first-ever ALL AGES GOTH ROCK
SHOW!!! Now freaks of all ages can be bent and twisted into our zombie
minions!! uh.... I mean.... enjoy some RAD music! yeah!

Anyway, this spookfest-to-end-all-spookfests will be featuring none
other than VOLTAIRE, right after us! Voltaire is a talented parodist,
artist and more, you can check him out at www.voltaire.net if you
haven't already. There are also gonna be some gothalicious tunes
provided by The Cross Between, Losing Venus and DUST!

To top it all off, this evening will be our lovely promoter Althea's
BIRTHDAY! So stay for some cake (we promise not to put too much
arsenic in it)! Doors open at 8pm. and we hit the stage at 11pm so
don't be late!!! This is all taking place at CBGB's downstairs lounge
at 313 Bowery!

HITB UNLEASHED UPON LAST.FM!

In other news, we've spread our electro-tentacles even further
throughout the big, bad internet, to a website called last.fm .
Whenever a fan emails us asking why they can't find our music on their
favorite site, we listen, and our tech gnomes are punished
accordingly. After a stern talking to, our gnomes researched last.fm
and found out that it's actually pretty darn awesome.

Basically you search for bands you like, and while you're listening
the system plays other bands that it thinks you might like. What's
really cool is that if you don't like the song it chose, you can skip
or even ban the track, so you never have to hear it again. You can
also Heart the track so the system will learn what you love and play
it more often for you. You can do this for free and as many times as
you like, unlike the pandora genome project thingy. Pretty smoov!

Sadly we don't get any awesome stuff out of letting you know about
this but we really like the system, and the more people know about it,
the more bands we like will participate on the website and the more
good music *we* get to listen to! So...uh... we lied. We do get
something out of it, and so do you! So be good little minions and try
it out, or no ice cream for you!

NEW SONG UNVEILED AT VAMPIREFREAKS.COM!

So a bunch of fans told us that we should make a profile on
vampirefreaks.com and I thought to myself...

Self... isn't it kind of rude to just post the same stuff we have on
MySpace in the vampirefreaks.com profile? So even though we've been
wanting to keep the new material super secret until it's all ready to
be unleashed at once, we've decided to share this one. Ever get
excited about something and couldn't keep it a secret anymore? It's
that kind of feeling now that we're so close to being done ;)

Anyway, this is a treat for you guys on our friends list only, so now
that we told you all we'll be taking it down after a few days so have
a listen now and let us know what you think!
