BHB Answers a Few Questions

Dec. 20, 2008

We wanted to put out a blanket Blog answering several questions that we get all the time so we don't have to keep repeating the answers:

Q) "I don't see my city on your tour. Will you be going to more cities?"

A)- YES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DATES POSTED ARE THE ONLY ONES WE ARE DOING ON THIS CURRENT TOUR. DWTS SEASON 8 STARTS IN EARLY FEBRUARY AND WE NEED TO GET BACK TO LA TO START REHEARSALS. HOWEVER, IN LATE MAY WE START A HUGE TOUR THAT WILL LITERALLY HIT EVERY MAJOR MARKET ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!! WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE THE NEW DATES SOMETIME THIS WINTER

Q) "I see that you guys are on MySpace a lot. Is it really you, or someone else?"

A) YES!!! WE ALL HAVE THE PASSWORD AND USERNAME FOR OUR PAGE AND WHENEVER WE GET A CHANCE WE GO ON TO TALK TO YOU GUYS, ANSWER E-MAILS, PUT NEWS UP, ETC.. IT IS REALLY US 98% OF THE TIME, WITH THE SMALL EXCEPTION WHEN OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM PUTS SOME POSTINGS UP OR OUR LABEL DOES SOME TWEAKING. SO WHENEVER YOU SEE THE "ONLINE NOW" SYMBAL-SHOOT US A MESSAGE- YOU NEVER KNOW, WE MAY RESPOND RIGHT BACK. WE LOVE TALKING TO ALL OF YOU AND RECEIVING YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND E-MAILS. YOU GUYS ARE THE REASON WE ARE HERE LIVING OUR DREAMS! WE WILL ALWAYS FIND TIME TO TALK TO YOU AND IF YOU SEE US, COME UP AND SAY HELLO. WE WANT TO MEET YOU ALL

Q) "When will your music be available to buy or add?"

A) IN THE NEXT WEEK, WE WILL POST A COUPLE OF SONGS THAT YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR MYSPACE. OUR ALBUM DOES NOT COME OUT UNTIL MARCH 3RD, SO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEN TO BUY IT, HOWEVER WE ARE PRETTY SURE OUR LABEL WILL MAKE SINGLES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD PRIOR TO THEN ON ITUNES

Q) "Will you have merch for sale soon?"

A) YES! WE ACTUALLY JUST GOT OUR NEW SHIRTS IN THIS WEEK! WE HAVE ONE FOR SALE ON THE DWTS TOUR AND WE WILL BE SELLING MERCH AT ALL OF OUR BHB SHOWS COMING UP! WE ARE WORKING ON OUR NEW WEBSITE AND WILL HAVE A LINK ON THE SITE SO YOU CAN PURCHASE MERCH

Q) "What is the best way to meet you guys?"

A) COME TO ONE OF OUR SHOWS!! WE WILL BE HANGING ALL NIGHT AND WANT TO MEET YOU ALL. IF YOU COME YOU WILL MEET US!! YOU ARE OUR FIRST FANS AND WE WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU ALL

Q) "Will you be doing a music video soon?"

A) YES! WE ARE SHOOTING OUR FIRST MUSIC VIDEO IN 3 WEEKS IN CHICAGO WHILE WE ARE ON TOUR. WE ARE SUPER EXCITED

Q) "Is Emily Leaving BHB for the All American Rejects?"

A) NO!! SHE IS JUST HAVING FUN AND SINGING WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A GREAT BAND AND GREAT GUYS. HER FIRST LOVE AND LOYALTY IS TO BHB. HOWEVER, THIS IS GREAT FOR HER CAREER AND WHENEVER THEY WANT HER AND SHE IS FREE, SHE WILL BE SINGING WITH THEM. SHE IS DOING THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH THEM AGAIN ON JANUARY 12TH. MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN!!

Q) "Are your shows coming up all ages?"

A) DEPENDS ON THE VENUE, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE ALL AGES. THERE ARE A FEW 21+ SHOWS, BUT WE TRIED OUR BEST TO KEEP THEM ALL AGES SO YOU ALL CAN SEE US

Q) "Are all the songs on the record new? Are they all as Pop sounding as "Do It For You"?"

A) NO. WE KEPT A COUPLE OF THE "OLD" ONES THAT YOU ALL KNOW. THEY INCLUDE BIRTHDAY, FALL AND LA (NOW CALLED TOGETHER FAR AWAY). WE ALSO HAVE SOME VERY SPECIAL ACOUSTIC-DRIVEN SONGS ALA ALMOST AMY THAT MADE YOU ALL FANS. THIS RECORD IS VERY SPECIAL AND TOUCHES ON ALL OF OUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES AND TASTES. IF YOU LIKED OUR OLD MUSIC- YOU WILL LOVE THE RECORD. DON'T JUDGE IT BY THE FIRST SINGLE. WE ARE STILL TRUE TO OURSELVES! THE RECORD LABEL DIDN'T "BOY BAND" US OUT GUYS! WE WERE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT ON THE RECORD AND WE LOVE IT!

Hope this helped you guys. We love you all!

Mark, Derek, Emily, Harry & Sam
