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
