Hey guys, Chad (bass) from My Hidden Track here. First and foremost how the heck is everyone? I’m doing fairly well, just sort of killing time, eating soup, nursing a throbbing back while I wait for Peter (manager/ touring guitarist) to get home. What’s in store for us tonight? Good question. I smell a rendezvous with my boss at his house and then a trip to a biker party out in the middle of nowhere. I’m searching for my father. Ha. That doesn’t have to make sense, but I assure you it’s a good story.
CD RELEASE SHOW
Last Friday at the Emerson Theater (CD Release show) was unbelievable. I’ve been playing music live for close to a decade and I’ve never had a crowd response like that before. Incredible, absolutely incredible. We had friends, family and fans new and old crawl out of the wood work, at least as the expression goes. My only regret is that I didn’t have the time to thank each and every one of you personally for coming.
WHERE CAN I FIND YOUR ALBUM?
If you were at the show and forgot to pick up a copy of our new album HEY LOVE or perhaps STORE.YOURNEXTADDICTION.COM. Up until June 27th this is the only place you can find our album, with the only exception being one of our up coming shows. After June 27th our album will be available to buy off of iTunes and if everything goes as planned select Best Buy, FYE and Hot Topic locations.
WE STLL NEED YOUR HELP TO GET ON WARPED TOUR
I think there are like three or four days left to vote and it’d mean the world to us if you did. It’d be a dream come true to play Warped Tour.
WHERE CAN I HEAR YOUR NEW SONGS?
We just uploaded “I GAVE HER MY HEART, SHE GAVE ME A PEN” to our myspace page and there are two exclusive songs uploaded at our Warped Tour battle of the bands page. “AND I SAID I DIDN’T THINK ANYONE WAS EVER OLD ENOUGH” and “I CAN’T BELIEVE I GAVE MY PANTIES TO A GEEK” will be available to listen to for just a few more days so check them out.
WHEN ARE YOU GUYS EVER GOING TO GET NEW SHIRTS?
Also if you’re feeling exceptionally bored right now we just put up a handful of new shirts up at STORE.YOURNEXTADDICTION.COM as well… they’re there for you to buy, look at, lust over or judge, the choice is entirely yours.
I’M STARTING TO THINK YOU DIDN’T EVEN RECORD A MUSIC VIDEO
I received this e-mail from Peter a couple of nights ago. “Just an update on the Pen video. Travis/Chris have finished up the final cuts and have sent it to a northwestern alum friend of theirs in Chicago to color correct the HD video. He will be using a Da Vinci 2K color correcting system. We’ll have the final video up online within two weeks.” So that’s kind of crazy right? I’m so absolutely blessed to have gotten to work with Chris and Travis on this music video, these guys are geniuses.
BLAMING CALIFORNIA
Nick has officially left us for the SUMMER. I’m both heartbroken and jealous by this. Nick is off working in California at a camp and I know he’s going to do a hellva job and have a hellva time so everyone keep him in your thoughts and count down the days until he comes back. In the meantime Peter will be filling in on guitar… we are giving him the MHT crash course… it’s sounding great… I think you will all really enjoy it.
Peter is currently working on giving YOURNEXTADDICTION.COM a face lift and he’s always constantly tidying up our myspace so keep an eye out for constant updates.
We are still looking to go on tour for at least a week or so in August so if there is anyone that can help us set up shows, book shows, or have contacts that could help us that’d be amazing.
With Hope, Love and Rock and Roll,
Chad & MHT
