Holiday cheer to you all!  Beatallica is stoked to be getting out on the road again.  Here's some quick updates before we hit the turf...
 
Hope to see you Midwest bangers at our casino show next week.  It's a sure bet that this show wont come up all lemons:
 
BEATALLICA at POTAWATOMI BINGO CASINO
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25
    with Shattered and Spank!
Doors at 7 p.m.   Tickets through casino box office, Ticketmaster, or write to this email addy.
 
You have off the next day so there is no excuse to come have fun with us.  Plus, we are doing a live audio recording of the show.  Make your voice heard!
 
You can also pick up your copy of Winter Plunderband because it is out and ready to buy now!  Get it at live shows or online--not available in stores!  I-Tune downloads are also available.  Remember, it features the very first Beatallica original tunes so this is a must have!  http://oglio.com/webs/pages/home.shtml
 
Check out the Winter Plunderband commercial here:  http://soundcloud.com/ogliorecords/beatallica-winter-plunderband-commercial
 
 
Speaking of hearing voices, Beatallica is happy to report that we have the new #1 speechtone (ringtone) on Oglio Entertainment, our label.  Check out the "Something Else Matters" tone, plus many, MANY more at this link:  http://www.beatallica.org/buystuff.html.  All sorts of fun stuff here related to Masterful Mystery Tour, Sgt. Hetfield's, All You Need is Blood, and more crazy voice imitations.
 
 
Quick update on foreign news.  The Beatallica shows with J.B.O. in December are nearly all sold out.  If you haven't gotten your ticket to ride with us, you better move!  These shows will be unforgettable and we are super pumped to be seeing our Beatallibangers in Germany again.  Also, watch for Jaymz to be featured in one of our favorite websites--We Rock City in Japan.  His comments on his favorite albums are coming soon:  http://www.werockcity.com/
 
 
Thanks for being a Beatallibanger.  Hope you enjoy your copy of Winter Plunderband!

Happy Halloween, Beatallibangers!  Hope you dudes are having fun scaring the scalps off your neighbors’ kids.  We know some of you are pretty crafty and don’t mind the sight of blood.  So….

We’re pleased as Neil’s poltergoost to spruce up our website with the “All You Need is Blood” items.  Remember, Beatallica are the first and original band to take on such a challenge as recording a song in as many languages as we did.  You can pick up the e.p. at this link: http://www.beatallica.org/buystuff.html

 

We’ll have some video clips coming out with members of the band discussing the song so watch for those on viral networks everywhere, including YouTube and Beatallica’s myspace TV: http://www.beatallica.org/videos.htm

 

 

Never fear, the Masterful Mystery Tour c.d. will still be bleeding your face for some time to come.  Thanks to all of you who have picked it up.  Do us a solid and rate it on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Masterful-Mystery-Tour-Beatallica/product-reviews/B002E2M5I2/ref=pr_all_summary_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

 

We’re happy to report that our video for “Fuel on the Hill” is near completion and will be satiating your thirst soon!  Ultimate hails to Herr VVeber and Murph Dawg for all their continued stalking and yeoman’s work.

 

But now for the main event of this emailer.  Beatallica is getting ready to metalize your holiday season.  We are going to be releasing a special ..Holiday.. e.p. on November 17th.  Entitled Winter Plunderband, this is a very unique project in several ways.  We’re taking on a few Lennon and McCartney tunes without mashing them up.  Check em out to see our versions and compare them with the originals.  A “guest” appears in one of the tunes…can you figure out who?   Also, Winter Plunderband will feature the very first 2 original Beatallica compositions—no mash ups…no Beatle or Metallica lines.  It’s all us.

It’s a bit of old school thrashy fun, a little arm-in-arm holiday spirit, some tongue-in-cheek and fist in face bashing, and a bit of ironic twist.  Far be it for Beatallica to remain status quo.  But…you can only get Winter Plunderband online or at live shows.  Plus, as of now, this is a limited run, so you need to get it post haste!  The digital version has a cool I-Tunes booklet to go with it with lyrics, art, and various pics of the band on the road.  Cheers to Von Munz and Anjl Rodee for all their creative efforts on this!  Watch for the online link, and an emailer on the project, in November.

We’ll have Winter Plunderband art on the websites and video snips out on soon that include discussion about the songs and other holiday memories from the band.  In the meantime, tide yourself over with some new outtake videos for “And I’m Evil” and “I’ll Just Bleed Your Face" http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=77958B253CC08004   Our bud Shaku Mays put these together for us.  Check out his site at:  http://www.kumays.com

 

Ok then, just when you think that’s all we could possibly have time for, how about a gig update:

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19TH

....Hachenburg.., ..Germany....

Beatallica headlines festival.  http://www.funnysideofcover.de/

All confirmed show dates are listed here for our Southwest Brew Fest appearances on November 7 and 8 in ....Tempe.., ..AZ.... and our December tour with J.B.O.  Winter Plunderband c.d.s will be available at all these shows!  http://www.beatallica.org/tour.html

 

 

See you for Plunderband holiday fun.  Hope you enjoy your refreshed cup of Blood!

Speaking of c.d.s, we are happy to announce the official Japanese release of Masterful on Wednesday, September 9 and the German release of Masterful on Friday, September 11.  Each country's c.d. will have some extra fun stuff so check that out!  Thanks to Sony Japan and Megapress in Germany for their support!  We'll see you German bangers in December with J.B.O.:  http://www.beatallica.org/tour.html

Hey heshers!  It's been a while since we chatted at ya, but for good reason.  We can finally claim our new c.d. to be done and in production.  After putting our noses to the grindstone (studio, mastering, various legal mumbo jumbo) we are thrilled to announce the new Beatallica c.d.!
 
Masterful Mystery Tour will be released in the US and Japan on Tuesday, August 4th.  Further distro to Europe, Australia, and other areas to follow soon after.  The art is fantastic (right on, Anjl Rodee) and the mash-ups are spot on.  We went for a bit more aggressive feel with this one so you can blame Flemball for the feelings of rage you will soon find pumping through your veins.  Hope you dig the new tunes!
 
Along with the new disc, we are shooting video beginning this week for 2 songs--remaining a secret until their release.  Get on the Beatallica forum and tell Mike VVeber he's a hesher of highest order!  We expect the first video to be out in time for the c.d. release.  The second video will aim to be out in the early fall and we will be doing a casting call for extras in the Milwaukee area for when we shoot on Sunday, July 12th.  If you are on the regional email list for Wisconsin and Illinois, you will get further info. 
 
Even more...Beatallica will be doing voice ringtones that will be available along with the Masterful Mystery Tour c.d.   Jaymz just completed his recording this week.  Now YOU can have the voices of Jaymz and Kliff in your ear...and the voices of Grg III and Ringo in your dreams.  Maybe even some other voices will be available....???   Access to ringtones will be announced soon.
 
Of course we will now be updating our main website, myspace, facebook, etc etc.  But come sign up with us on Twitter for quick info pieces:  http://www.twitter.com/beatallica.  The new pics look killer (thanks, Todd Taylor) and we think you will find the theme to be quite a trippy experience.  Give us some time and we'll be invading your personal space in the most politely viral manner possible.....
 
Oh yeah, shows....   Obviously we are doing a few gigs to welcome in the Masterful Mystery Tour disc.  Join us near our hometown:
 
FRIDAY, JULY 31
at Liquor Sweets in Milwaukee
3000 S. 13th St.
 
SATURDAY, AUGUST 1
at The Original Mother's in Chicago
    for Tribute-a-palooza Festival
26 W. Division St.
 
 
More show dates and happening news to be announced along with the c.d.'s official release.  Again, give us some time and we'll have plenty for you to see, hear, and experience.
 
Can't wait....hope you have fun with it!
 
Beatallica

hey kids, jaymz again reporting now from karlsruhe, germany. 
spent today at the longest castle in europe and took some killer pics. 
the staff there thought we were "important" so they gave us free access
to the chapel in the castle.
 
the shows so far have been pretty good.  a big surprise was the
show in Toging, Germany last nite.  what a fun crowd!  for only a city
of 9000, it sure held up it's end of the donkey.  Kliff held up the
other end....we wont mention which end that is, but we'll just leave it
to your imagination.

 

tomorrow begins our stretch of non-stop shows til the end of the
tour.  longer drives, shorter rest = harsh reality.  we'll do our best
to stay healthy.  so far, everyone has been doing well.  we'll have one
more crack at chilling tonite before the home stretch begins.

 

looking forward to meeting up with our good friend VVeber in
switzerland.  hope he's ready to have a good time with us!  the Hamburg
show was definately a treat as we got to see Bass Inc and co., Torben
and co. Ant and co. and all the other buds we've made along the way. 
to be so far from home and have that many folks in your corner is a
real blessing.

 

more on gigs to follow, provided i have time.  would love to give
you an Easter Bunny report but he and i are on shaky terms.  could be
that hassenfeffer (sp?) i had for breakfast yesterday....

 

Jaymz

Currently listening:
