AUGUST 2008
Welcome to the 7th heaven Newsletter for August 2008 |

The past two months have been a amazing time for us. We have been playing to so many new faces and have made new friends/fans. We have played 3 shows in one day twice, plus we did 5 shows in 24 hours, the 50,000+ crowd at ribfest, playing on the float in the pride parade, playing, playing and playing!!!! So much is going on with 7th heaven right now. New products, new videos, new shirts, more shows, good times and some GREAT news... so let's get started!

NEW ORIGINAL CD - U.S.A.-U.K. IS FINISHED!!!! |
|
Our new original CD called "U.S.A.-U.K." is finished and at press getting made as you read this. We hope to get them sometime between next week and the week after. Check the website over the next week as we'll add the entire CD to our Jukebox as well as our store for CD orders. The CD will be $10.00 and contains 18 songs. We will have a press release on it once we know a exact date. We are currently working to add all the songs off the CD to our set so look for that in August.

NEW "Medley CD/DVD" is released |
|
We have released a new Medley CD/DVD combo pack. It has both the Pop Medley and Rock Medley on them. It has the Pop Medley Video as well as the Rock Medley video. If you have been to a 7th heaven show in the past 2 years you might be on the video. It's a great way to remember the good times at our shows and it captures a lot of personality of the band members. This product is now available on our "Store" section on our website. We ship worldwide.

NEW 'Unplugged" CD coming in 3-4 weeks! |
|
We have a new "Unplugged" CD coming in a few weeks. I am currently mixing the final tracks and will send to press sometime next week. This CD has some AWESOME vocals on it and showcases the "Unplugged" type of shows that we do during the week. We think this CD will be a great addition to the other two CD's we will have released this summer. Keep a eye out for this CD in a few weeks and look for them to be added to the JukeBox on the "Music" page as well.

Club Dates This Weekend |

We have a few club dates that we want to let you know about. Today (Friday July 25) we will be at the best new club in the burbs, John Barleycorn. We really like this place! If you haven't been to this new clubs in Schaumburg, you really are missing the new hot-spot. We'll be playing at 10:30pm. Also, this Saturday (July 26) we'll be at Famous Freddies. This club is always a crazy time for us, so hopefully you can make it out to both club dates this weekend.

We will be playing with Eve 6 at Shark City August 8. Show times have not been set yet, so call the club and get there early... we should have our new CD by then. You can expect A LOT of originals from us this night, so if you want to hear more originals, come to this show... and get there early.

Shirts |
|
It is SO cool to see all the 7th heaven shirts in the crowd at these festivals.. it REALLY helps us out, as it sends a strong message to the people who book us that you came to support 7th heaven. We can't thank you enough for that and we encourage you to keep wearing your 7th heaven shirts at the festivals. If you don't have one yet, don't worry we just got 1,000 shirts in stock and have package deals at the merchandise table at the shows.

NEW Rock Medley Video |
|
Have you checked out our "Video" page on our website? If not there's SO much for you to check out on there. We just added a video of our "Rock Medley" video to our site. While the "Pop Medley" video is more focused on Festivals, the "Rock Medley" video is based a little more on the club life we have. We shot many of those shots at John Barleycorn last month, so if you were there, you might be in the video. Check it out! (This video is also on our new Medley CD/DVD combo pack)
