Who Gives Kudos:


Tuesday, January 15, 2008 

So apparently we were on the Howard Stern show the other day. It seems that someone on the show brought our Hey Ya cover in the studio to play and allegedly Howard seemed to like it quite a bit and had some nice things to say.

I haven't heard the bit myself but it's pretty freaking awesome. It's been almost a year and a half since the video blew up on the world wide web and we're all continually suprised that it's still going. There's still people finding the video for the first time and taking the time to look us up and buy our music and send us nice notes. I'm not exactly sure how to get a hold of someone at the Howard Stern show but I'm going to try. I would like to thank them for playing our song and ask them if they might be able to send us a copy to have you all listen to.

We just wanted to say thanks to everone who took the time to support us and listen to our songs!

Mat

PS - If you haven't heard of the movie "Once", go rent it - it's amazing.


UPDATE: Someone sent us a copy of the segment! You can listen to it here:

Howard Stern Segment

And here's an article from the New Times about the show:

Stay tuned . . . Howard may not have heard the last from us . . .

Hey!
I actually heard this BEFORE it was on Howard (I listen to Howard almost everyday) and was ECSTATIC to hear your song don his show. I was even more excited for you when I heard his reaction to it. Good stuff!!!

In case you didn't look at the site it was on January the 10th they talked about it. You are officially "some guy" on their site. So congratulations "some guy" and "band some guy is in" :)

You can also email the Howard Stern show at sternshow@howardstern.com. I heard it and Fred did mention the bands name but they got Mat's name wrong .. called him Mat Weddie.

Howard ripped us off!! We had you on our show when the video blew up on the net originally. ;-)

You should definately contact them and get on the show. And you are welcome to call into our show anytime live on Monday nights .. or leave a message anytime 1-888-762-6681.

Howard is how I found out about you guys too. I love what you did with Hey Ya, and the rest of your work is great too, glad I got the whole itunes album and not just one song. Keep it up!
