Happy June, everyone! We're really enjoying the great weather - it's great to be singing outdoors again! Many of you have asked if we'll be at Valleyfair again this year, and the answer is: no. BUT, we've got lots of great shows this summer, and we won't be competing with a noisy rollercoaster at any of them!
In this issue:
Okay, so it took us a while to do it, but it was worth the wait. Four Shadow now has an official MySpace page. If you're a member, add us! If not, you can still check out the page:
http://www.myspace.com/fourshadowofficial
Why visit the Four Shadow myspace page? How about...
- As we record our next album (yes, we're already started studio work on it), we'll post new mp3s only on our myspace page. You'll be able to hear some of our new stuff months before you can get it on CD!
- We'll be updating the blog with news, thoughts, and more.
- You can post comments, share tracks with friends, join one of several Four Shadow discussion groups, meet other fans, and more!
One
of the tracks up on our myspace today is The Time Is Now, our newest Four
Shadow original. You can download the mp3, but for the full experience,
get our new album, Live
In Bemidji! We've created a two-disc package that includes a
DVD and a CD.
The DVD features live video footage of our huge concert this March, and
the CD includes an album full of music from the same show, including some
never-before recorded songs like Collide, Giraffe Nightengale, and the
Four Shadow original, The Time is Now. Get
Live In Bemidji!

Kevin's Solo Work
Kevin's made a new solo EP, called Things to Keep in Mind While Balancing. On this record, Kevin's music sounds like the love child of John Mayer, Ben Folds, and Bonnie Raitt; and it features "Here/There," set in a glossy new, pop/ r&b style. Incidentally, since its release on Four, "Here/There" was named a finalist in the 2005 USA Songwriting Competition.
You can listen to a few tracks from the EP at www.kevinsteinman.com
or on www.myspace.com/kevinsteinman.
It's available via paypal on myspace, just click the paypal button. If
you have any questions, you can email kevin at brilliant@fourshadow.com
Interested in hearing it on the radio? You can request tracks from Kevin's disc starting on June 13th; for a listing of stations near where you live, check www.kevinsteinman.com/radio
EepyBird
Speaking of EPs, we'd like to let you know about EepyBird.com. This is a cool website put up by friends of ours, that will eventually feature a variety of creative short videos.
For now, it's worth visiting for the Diet Coke and Mentos video alone.
You may have already heard that mixing Diet Coke and a Mentos gets you a geyser.
You may have even seen a video of someone doing this online.
But you've never seen the Bellagio fountains recreated with over 100 bottles of spurting, minty Diet Coke!
