Dog Day Week

Hey Soul Mates,
hope you are all feeling the cooling trend this weekend. It was almost too hot & humid for L.A. to take. We have been busy preparing for our show at BB King's. Sounds like a lot of you are planning on attending. That's what we like to hear. It'll be even better to see you in the flesh. We are going to play our hottest songs and coolest jams, so come on down. Make a night of it. BB's makes some mean BBQ. Of course, they have a real dance floor, so wear some good shoes. We want to see some moves! Oh and fellas, you all were heavily out-numbered by the ladies last time. Hm-Hmmmm. But to quote James, "I Don't Mind."

As for the music, we will be debuting our new greasy slice of RHS called "U had the $." It's about a sweet girl we all know. Or is it? We'll be doing your favorite sing-a-longs, too. Thanks to Patrick Kershaw, I have seen the video of our show at the Good Hurt. Wow. That was a fun gig. When it comes time for the chorus on a couple of songs, you all are louder than the band. That's HOT! Needless to say that's the way we want the shows to be from now on.

All right, I gotta put down the computer and pick up the bass. This new one has a wicked bassline I have to sing with.

Love, Power, Peace & A/C

Mixing Is Completed, Demo Almost Done

Hey Soul Mates.
Today was a big day in RHS history. We finished mixing our new demos. All 3 songs were completed this afternoon down in Santa Monica. We got to beat the heat for a few hours, too. (Special thanks to Chris H on the big board.) You will get to hear the songs very soon; even sooner if you come to the next show. We have already fast-tracked the rough versions to our new industry contact who is a major record producer. The new recordings will be making their way to you in the coming weeks. We still have one more step, mastering, to complete the project. These are very exciting times.

If you are a member of the Soul Mates, watch your e-mail for the Evite for the BB King's show. (Out-of-town members, we have to limit the number of invitations to local addresses. But, thank you for your unending support. We hope to get this show out on the road to your state very soon!) BB King's is a really sweet venue. I mentioned this in my blog on his birthday, but I saw Prince play there in 2003. In fact, I stood next to Morris Day the whole time. BB's is no joke! This is a great opportunity for you to see us in a super setting. It's also a chance for us to prove that we can open for national acts that roll through BB King's. But we need your support.

Please be sure to RSVP, even if you are not attending for some inexplicable reason. And forward the Evite to your friends... the ones you know can get dressed to impress. We are hoping to have some heavy hitters from the music industry at BB King's. You need to come and party with us. That's right!

IN CONCERT: RUSH HOUR SOUL and the PRETTIEST FANS IN LOS ANGELES.

Thanks to you all for your loyalty and love. The last show was such a hit and it was great to see a lot of new faces, too. Hands down we have the most beautiful fans in LA (Other bands, don't hate them 'cause they'
re beautiful)!

Love, Power, Peace
