$8 Cover, but…

Wait, you said something about FREE?…

New faces promotion!

Because BT is now ready for primetime, we are giving our fans a chance at some free stuff in exchange for some new faces. We hate Hollywood promoters and already know you guys can do a better job.

Here’s the deal:

You bring… You get…

2-3 New Faces

Free Entrance! (an $8 value)

4-7 New Faces

Free Entrance AND a Free (signed) CD (a $13 combined value)

8+ New Faces

Free Entrance AND a Free (signed) CD AND a BT TSHIRT (approximately a $33 combined value)

Notice: New faces are persons who have never previously attended any live Benevolent Tomorrow performance, to the best of the combined (and probably alcohol impaired) memories of the band. New persons must be paid in full for the Nov 14 show ($8).

Exceptions with regard to “what qualifies as a new face” will probably be made so just ask. For example, if you’re a husband/wife pair who come to all our shows, we’d probably be willing to count one of you as a new face

Please note Steve’s (Mr. Bass Man’s) birthday is Nov 15 (the following day) so feel free to liquor him up. After party at his house. Show up at the bar around 9 and help us drink.

Sincerely,

YOUR fans at:
Benevolent Tomorrow

People have all sorts of opinions about our band name. Often times the criticism is based on aesthetics instead of meaning, or even grammar.

In fact true grammar Nazis probably look at it and find themselves puzzled, as grammatically it works yet it doesn’t seem to make obvious sense (while benevolent is definitely an adjective, and tomorrow is (usually) a noun, Tomorrow can’t really be benevolent unless we jump into the wonderful world of personification).

Might as well be Thick Foresight, or Vapid Cubit, or Criminal Gourd. That’s okay, it’s a band name. It’s supposed to be weird. Karmageddon would make an awesome band name, and it doesn’t make any freaking sense either.

But I digress.

Most people interpret it as some sign of hope, which is great. Others look at it as some sort of veiled threat, as in “I will be benevolent tomorrow, but NOT today.” That could be true as well. Still others just find it hard to spell on the first try.

Believe me, it isn’t. Sound it out. There ya’ go.

I tend to side with the people who take the ‘hope’ angle. I find it interesting to use the term ‘benevolent’ instead of a handful of other adjectives that could convey clearer intentions. Charitable Tomorrow. Compassionate Tomorrow. Perfect Tomorrow. While probably not very good band names, their meanings are more obvious.

I like Benevolent though, and not just because it’s vague. Words like “perfect” describe the setting of tomorrow, while words like “benevolent” describe the people in it.

Benevolence is an action that people have to do. It’s not a state of mind. I think Benevolent Tomorrow focuses on the physical and verbal conduct of individuals, rather than the state of society as a whole.

We’re appealing to you to be benevolent in a world ………………..wrought of wrong.

You want a Benevolent Tomorrow? It’s up to you. And you can start today.

(Insert random Uncle Sam pic here)

We need any of you who have a shirt to put it on and strike
a pose in front of any major landmark around where you live.
Then Send the pic to us and we’ll plaster it up on the myspace
and the web site. Once we get enough I may just make a
big old collage of them and make it the background who knows.

Whether you bought it or won/got it free at a show or you
got it off of our site/myspace, it doesn’t matter. All that
matters is that you want to help. . . or just want gratuitous
amounts of attention, whatever floats your boat.

Also something you should pick up while you’re getting all
of this exposure and such is OUR EP!!

Get a copy for just $7.50 from our online store on our Myspace
page and website. If you like the music, than get a shirt too!

NOTICE!!
One of the things about coming to our shows is that since
you’re such an awesome fan the CD is only $5 instead of $7.50.
So keep an eye out for any shows you can make it to.

Or if you don’t live Close enough to see us live,
(Such as in Missouri, Illinois, New York etc.)
once more grab our EP off our store on myspace
& site or catch us on the web by streaming. . .

Sheena Metal’s – http://www.musichighwayradio.com/

or on KUCR out of Riverside Ca. – http://kucr.org/

And remember I’m the guy on the Myspace all the time and
I get bored refreshing the page. So if you’ve got an app
you want more people in go ahead and add us to it. I may
not play it (Sorority Life for example. . . though Steve may.)
but we’re happy to fill out your rosters. Also, by all means
go ahead and talk to us. It’s usually me or Steve on here
and we like to think of ourselves as competent conversationalists.
