...to be winners. The majority sentiment for the Video contest was to split the prize. Soooo......without further eloquence;
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you. Again, our sincere apologies for the mess up, but we think this was the best solution as well. We hope you enjoyed the music and working with us and were hoping you'd be interested in working on an official video for a song off our new album slated for release Oct 13th. Give us a shout and we can talk about the details
And please drop us a line with your address so we can get the prize $ in the mail to you.
Thank you again to everybody that participated in the contest and put in so much work.
All the Best,
The Hush Now

Hello all,
First and foremost, thank you all for the time and the effort you put into your wonderful videos. We were really stoked by the quality. Fine workmanship indeed.
So here we are and you're thinking, "fuck you and tell me who won." And that I wish i could do, but I must disclose something first. You see, the voting registry I set up didn't work. It never tallied the votes. Why did this happen? Because I'm a fucking idiot. So, I wanted to give the finalists an opportunity to weigh in on how to proceed.
1. split the prize equally amongst the finalists or;
2. take a chance your name is picked from a hat
I'm so sorry this happened, but i figured it was better to be honest and let you know. Please, try to get back to me as soon as possibly at noel@thehushnow.com and let me know which option you prefer.
Beyond that, we'd like to speak with you (if you are interested) in doing a video for a song from our next album that comes out this fall.
Again, my sincere apologies for the fuck up.
best, Noel

Hello all, been getting a lot of concerned emails about the contest so I just wanted to give a few updates.
1. Yep, the contest is still on and is NOT a fraud
2. We will have the YouTube page set up soon. Been on tour and just haven't had a chance to get to it. My sincere apologies. If your video doesn't get uploaded, let us know.
3. The submissions were awesome. We really appreciate all the effort that went into their making
4. The band is currently reviewing all submissions and will have narrowed down to 5 finalists for voting. We are doing this to avoid the unsavery practice of voting spam. The finalists will be announced next week.
5. We'll be sendng a free copy of our new single and a special gift to all those that submitted a video as a thanks. We'll be in touch for addresses.
6. Voting will end 15 July and a winner will be announced the next day.
I know this isn't exactly as was posted originally, but think the spirit of the video contest is well in tact. We just didn't want somebody running a Bot to be rewarded with a $1000.
If you don't win this time around, no need to despair, We'll be having another contest this fall. Hint hint. The new single comes out in a couple weeks, so if you want more time to work on something....
All the best and many many thanks for all your hard and creative work. We're humbled by what you all were able to produce in such a short time.
Best,
The Hush Now

Hey all! Just a quick update to let you know what's happening in Hush Now Land. Lots of exciting things in the works, some of which I can't tell you about but soon enough, soon enough. Only a few more days left in the video contest (see previous blog post) so definitely upload those submissions to YouTube ASAP as the contest ends Monday. We've been watching all of the great videos you guys have done and needless to say we're very impressed! We've been rehearsing in preparation for our NYC show this weekend at Fontana's Bar and the west coast dates that start next week. If you're in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, or L.A., come on out and say hello at our inaugural shows on the west coast! (The Portland and SF shows are still in the works so check back for details.) Look for some new songs from album two and maybe a cover worked into the set too. Lastly, Noel did an interview with Raul from Hummingbird604.com recently so check it out here.

Since the poster contest was such a smashing success (check out the finalists on an earlier blog) and since we need a video...we thought we'd try something similar. But a video requires a bit more effort and time so we thought we'd up the stakes a bit...$1000.00 prize paid to the winner We recently landed a song (Bedtime Stories) on an ABC show "Eli Stone" and are going to use our pay from that to fund the contest. Not sure when it airs... So without further eloquence, here are the details: Make and submit a video to ANY song from the debut album. Here is a link to a Free Album Download Video submissions are due NLT 15 June 2009 and will be posted on The Hush Now's Youtube channel. Voting for the winning video will begin 16 June 2009 and the winner announced on 1 July 2009. The videos can be about anything you want...have fun... Let us know if you have any questions.
Best, The Hush Now

 Just a short note to remind you that this coming Friday, May 1st, The Hush Now will be live at T.T. The Bear's Place in beautiful Cambridge, Massachusetts! This show was put together by Boston-based music blogger and all-around good dude Brad Searles and we're thrilled to be appearing along with three other terrific bands. Here's the details: Bradley's Almanac Presents... 12am: Now, Now Every Children - Minneapolis, MN 11pm: THE HUSH NOW - Boston, MA 10pm: You Can Be A Wesley - Boston, MA 9pm: Let's Whisper - Burlington, VT 18+ $10 T.T. The Bear's Place, (10 Brookline St., Cambridge, MA) Tell your friends at school, call your family (they miss you), bury a hatchet or two and reignite an old flame to tell them about this incredible lineup! Bring your co-workers and celebrate May Day while The Hush Now rocks the socks right off your smelly Hobbit feet. Trust us, this is a show you will be hearing about and what else are you doing Friday? You've already seen every episode of Eastbound & Down at least two times. You may think you're going to put a respectable dent in that volume of Proust or Rilke or whatever it is you kids read but you know you're not. So it'll probably end up like every other night you ignore the urging of your concerned (and more active) friends: you and a pizza-flavored burrito, sixer of PBR, and MySpace. Do yourself a favor and come check out some terrific local and nationally-touring bands at T.T.'s! You can thank us later! More info here. Facebook event page here.

The contest has ended; below find the three finalists for The Hush Now's poster design contest. We were initially hoping to have an online poll and let you pick the winner but it quickly became evident that people were "stuffing" our virtual ballot box, disproportionately voting for one particular design. Instead we're just going to pick our favorite from amongst the three finalists. We'll announce the winner very soon so please check back! Thanks go out to all of those who generously submitted their designs -- we are privileged to count you among our fans and friends!
