We would like to send a Big Thanxxx to all who came and packed the California Music Fest this weekend! It was great looking out at a sea of thousands of our fans shakin’ and slammin’ to our set! We had an amazing time playing for y’all and will be doing more of the same soon. We would also like to thank CMF organizers for inviting us and treating us so well, and all the ladies who were kind enough to show us what was written under their shirts.

In a few weeks we will be announcing some great new dates with major acts, so keep your ears to the ground!

Until then, Peace in.

Big what up to Los Angeles and all our Friends around the world! If I can pause “24 Hours of Extremely Lost Celebrities,” for a few seconds, we have some things to share.

Besides the usual conversations online, seems like everyone is talking about SexTapes. We can’t even go a few minutes without some kind of chatter about us online (seriously, just Google it for yourselves), so we’re going to dive in and take it a little deeper.

Along with asking when we are playing in their city, or how they can star in our videos, SexTapes fans also ask us if entertainment celebrities have anything to do with their private SexTapes going public.

Well, we’re here ta tell ya!

Our research indicates that, yes, celebrities do leak their own SexTapes to the public (oh my!). We have discovered that these are actually higly orchestrated PR campaigns waged for maximum profit (theirs). It seems that when a celebrity goes public w/ “shock” and “outrage” at the “invasion of their privacy,” over “stolen” SexTapes, it is very likely that they are following their business consultant’s specific strategy to create a huge global demand for the purported SexTapes, which they will capitalize on shortly. After they are sure the highest value/demand is reached for these SexTapes, an “undisclosed settlement” is announced, that intentionally discloses just enough information to whet the public’s appetite, such as the celebrity partnering w/ original “leakers” or a similar third party front. The SexTapes are then “officially” released, in order to ease any hesitation the public may have had about purchasing illegal SexTapes (oh my!). There’s nothing left but the accounting at that point.

Keep this in mind the next time you’re shopping for SexTapes.

Speaking of which, SexTapes has a new merch store app for you to check out here. We now have plenty of different styles available for men and women, so pick up the latest SexTapes T-shirts, ringtones and MP3s, then share the store w/ the world (just click on “Share Widget”).

Also check out the new SexTapes posters chosen to be on the main set of the new Ron Howard/Brian Grazer NBC pilot, Parenthood (just picked up for Fall). The Production Designer digs SexTapes and chose two posters for an industrial loft set. Hopefully it's a good show.

To receive a free poster, sign up here with your name and mailing address, and make sure to add “POSTER” in the subject line, and we will send you one.

See you in the aisles or online! SexTapes FFRYF!

OK, back to the show!

Shopping cart full of peace out.

Sneak peek of the Kelly Wheeler Interview with LAs The Place (http://www.lastheplace.com)
to be published in the up coming January issue:

LA's The Place
Why did you name the band SexTapes?

Kelly Wheeler
I thought it evoked the feeling you get when listening to great music. Exceptional
artists pour everything into their craft and sometimes you come across a song,
or whole album even, by an artist that's so good and personal it's crazy! It's like
you've found this private thing that they didn't care if one person or a million
people hear. Finding this is rare, but when you do, hearing it is almost like
watching sex! I always thought that it was a great analogy for quality music.

LA's TP
What has Pitman's relationship with GNR meant for you?

KW
It's always a trip to hear about Chris' journey with GNR. Obviously, we may get
noticed a little more because of it, but at the end of the day, our music speaks
for itself.

LA's TP
What is your favorite song on the album and why?

KW
Probably Medicine Man. I like the big eastern-hued riff propelled by that gigantic
drum beat! Sounds like something wicked this way comes. Ominous, but with the
right melody-sort of sums up the SexTapes sound.

LA's TP
You all have interesting backgrounds, tell us more about them.

KW
I've played in Los Angeles bands since back in the day after moving here from
Santa Barbara. I've been fortunate enough to play with great musicians like Perry,
Danny and Terri (Farrel of Jane's Addiction, Carey of Tool, Nunn of Berlin, respectively),
and continue to do so with Chris, Marko and Ryan. I'm also an art director & graphic
designer and create the SexTapes visual experience. Since I enjoy being creative
in a lot of different areas, SexTapes allows me freedom of expression in a wide
range of mediums.

Marko has also played in bands since back in the day, and moved here from
South Carolina to impose his own brand of Punk N Roll on an unsuspecting
Los Angeles. Marko and I have been friends for years, but had never played
together until SexTapes started.

Ryan has been the bedrock beat for SexTapes since joining. He got his training
from Indiana University and has recorded and toured the world with some of the
biggest names in jazz, rock and pop. Chris knew him from the LA band, OWL,
and after hearing the demo, Ryan was immediately inspired to play with SexTapes.

Chris is a multi-instrumentalist who got his start as a vocalist/keyboard player in
Kansas City bands after attending the University of Missouri Conservatory of Music.
He's been with Axl in Guns N' Roses for about 10 years and has played with Danny
(Carey of Tool) and Marko in Zaum, and with Paul D'Amour (Tool) in Lusk.
Chris & I have played on and off together for years, and have always wanted
to do another project. Finally our inspirations/schedules lined up and here we are.
———

Our humble band is starting to get a little buzz... (the other kind).
Will let you know when we get more. Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Peace in...
—Kelly
