We made the top 12 in the contest "Hometown for the Holidays" put on by 93.3 KTCL. There were over 190 submissions and we made the top 12! You'll be able to hear our song "Where I Want To Be" on 93.3 starting Dec 10th.

Now we need everyone's help to win the contest. Here's how it works:
1. Sign up for music surveys by DEC 10th here. You DON'T have to be a Colorado resident to vote.
2. Within the next week you'll receive a survey in your email.
3. Take the survey and vote for The Heyday. That's it!

What happens if we win?
If we make the Top 3, then we'll play a show at Andrew's on Lincoln Dec 18th. If we place 1st in the music survey, then we get 3 days recording at the Blasting Room studios, a $250 Best Buy Musical instruments gift card, and we'll be invited to play Not So Silent Night 2010! If we have the best crowd at the show on Dec 18th, then we win $1,000!

Please help spread the word about this contest by telling all of your friends. We can't win this contest on our own, we need YOUR help. Let 93.3 know how much you love The Heyday by signing up for surveys and voting for us.

How’s everyone doing!? As you may can see, we’ve just launched our new Myspace page, complete with a fresh design, new photos, Twitter boxes for each of the band members, and our video for “Come In or Stay Out.” We also have posted a short blog video update with information on our newly-announced headlining concert at the Gothic Theater on September 19! Pretty exciting for a Monday!

To help promote the “Come In or Stay Out” video, we are going to give away autographed drum heads to FIVE lucky fans who post the music video on their
Facebook page. Out of those five, the one who gets the most “Likes” on their posting will receive a bass drum head that is very special to us- one with lots of drawings on it from a far away land that we’ve had hanging around for quite a while. Suggest to your friends that they become fans as well, and they will get updates about Heyday news/shows/etc.

Here’s how to post!

Watch the video at this link: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=246485695569

and then click the “Share” button below the video box. Pretty simple, right? Good luck to anyone who wants a signed drumhead!

Here are a couple of other ways you can help us promote our new video/myspace/whatever.

1. ON FACEBOOK: Hit the “Suggest to Friends” link below our Page picture and click on your Facebook friends to suggest they become fans of the Heyday.
2. ON FACEBOOK: Hit the “Add a Fan Box to your site” link in the same column and learn how to add a Heyday “widget” of sorts to any html-capable site.
3. Tell your friends to text “fan theheyday” to FBOOK (32665), which Facebook claims automatically adds them as a Heyday fan.
4. Tell your friends to follow us on Twitter: visit http://twitter.com/theheyday
5. Tell your friends to visit our new Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/theheyday
6. Tell your friends to visit our Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/theheyday
7. Go out in the street and scream “Heyday!” over and over again.

Tuesday, The 8th of June, 12:34 am... Driving away from Kearney Nebraska towards Lincoln, The Heyday and Friends have just finished playing a fun show for an excited group of young'ins at The Roman and are wearily making their way to their far away hotel room. 

I can't think of the last time I was up before 7:30, let alone the last time waking up that early was even worth it at all. Waking up that early to start shooting our music video, however, was a piece of cake.  Who knew lip syncing a song 20 times in a row under blazing hot lights could be so much fun!? Anyway, thanks to everybody who came out today, all your enthusiasm is really going to make this video amazing! Day 2 of the video shoot is scheduled for Sunday, keep your eyes peeled for a "Making Of" Video (aka mostly us screwing around.) Thats all for now, check back soon!
