RODNEY ON THE ROQ -- The Waking Hours are honored to receive a spin by the most legendary radio DJ that has ever walked the earth, Rodney Bingenheimer! During last Sunday’s show Rodney played “New Revolution” from our “How Does It Feel” EP.

You can tune into Rodney’s show every Sunday night from Midnight till Three (PST).  In the Los Angeles area turn your radio station dial to 106.7FM KROQ And streaming on the web WWW.KROQ.com

NEW VIDEO:  We’re tremendously excited about the video we shot last week directed by Erik C. Emerson and produced by Ellen Stafford.  It was a real pleasure and honor for us to work with them, and the many talented folks in the industry that showed up to help.  We can’t tell you too much about the concept as we’d hate to ruin the surprise, but you can catch a glimpse of the set on our myspace page.  The video features “Erased”, one of the new songs that will be on our upcoming full length CD to be released later this year, and speaking of which…....

UPCOMING CD:  The new Waking Hours CD is currently being recorded and will feature at least 12 new Waking Hours songs.  We are in the middle of recording and getting ready to choose the second half of the songs to be included on the CD.   We will feature more updates as we head into the spring, and maybe load up some more demos too.  Stay tuned….

SONG PLACEMENTS:  Here is a list of some of the cool new song placements that we received during January and February of this year:

“Dead” from our “How Does It Feel” EP was played for over a minute on the show “Bad Girls Club” on Oxygen (Episode 7)
“New Revolution” from our “How Does It Feel” EP:

·         Played on “Ghost Whisperer” in a late January episode....

·         played for over a minute on the show “Bad Girls Club” on Oxygen (Episode 6)

·          played in the film “Slap Shot 3: The Junior League” - just hitting the new release shelf at rental stores

“Sparks” can be heard in the trailer on DVD’s for the home theater release of “Pineapple Express.”

“New Revolution” and “Break Away” are in the film “Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story,” coming out early 2009 and starring Seann William Scott and Randy Quaid

The Waking Hours are taking some time off from playing live to finish up recording of our new CD.  As we speak, work is being completed on a bunch of brand new songs, and a new video is in the works too.  Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks!

Hello folks!  The Waking Hours have completed a video shoot for a song off of our latest EP "Close to Me".  A 12 hour night session in Pasadena, high atop the South Campus College of Art and Design rooftop with Director Mike Venezia and crew.   Mike's worked with Plain White T's and Avenged Sevenfold  and was fantastic during the shoot.  We can't wait to see the final cut and will be sure to share it with everyone as soon as we can.

In other news - we're in the process of ironing out a bunch of new tunes for our next CD - it will be a full length that we're hoping to have out sometime this summer.  Some of the songs we've been playing in our live sets since last summer, and some are completely brand new.   We'll keep you posted on things as the progress.

We'll also be releasing a couple rare and out of print WH CDs on Itunes - look for both "The Early Years" and our very first EP from '97 in the coming weeks.

See you soon!
