Welcome to our the SSUB blog. The following is the text of the email that I sent out to our email list letting people know about our “Grand Opening”. If you haven’t read it already, it has some information about what is going on right now with the band.
….
Hello everyone,
It has been a while since we played, so we haven’t had much to report in the way of shows, but we do have several things going on besides shows. So, I apologize for the long email, but this should catch us up. Here is what we have going on: we have made some changes to the Sunny-Side Up Band website; we have a new Myspace page; one of our songs is available on a podcast; we have a video in the works; and some upcoming shows.
For the website, we have added a links page and a weblog. The links page has a list of various sites to buy our CD, links to our friend’s pages and also other sites we like. We will update these periodically and add new things, so please check back on the links page. We have also added a blog, where we plan to post the latest news on the band, tell about upcoming concerts, comment on our recent concerts, post pictures and even include some of our random thoughts and opinions on life and music (for children and everybody).

We have created a new Myspace.com page. This “world of Myspace” is not really a place for children, and we realize that, so we are not encouraging children to go to that site. In fact, we believe that children shouldn’t be on the internet without parental supervision. That said, Myspace is a great place for bands to network with other bands (even children’s music groups). Also, there are many parents who are on Myspace and using it to keep up with bands they like. So if you are a “Myspacer”, please stop by our page and sign up to be our friend. We would really love to have you. We will post upcoming shows on that site, and the blog on that site will mirror our SSUB blog.

Our song, “Ants In My Pants” was included on an October/November Rockin’ Moms podcast. This podcast is hosted by Tiffany Petrossi and Jamie Baughman out of California. Tiffany has a great website called Rockinmoms.com that features bands with Moms in them (like SSUB). If you are interested, the link to the podcast is below.

We have a video of the song “Wigglin’ Blues” that is in the final stages of production, and should be out by the end of the month. So look for it on local TV, our website or Youtube.com. It features the band and the wonderful kids of Timothy Road Pre-K and Kindergarten classes wigglin’ to the music.
Lastly, the reason we do this is to play live, and we have a couple of shows coming up in February.
It’s Friday!

Okay, if you made it to this point, thanks for reading. I know it was a long email, but we are very excited about all of these new things and look forward to an exciting new year.
