7th heaven Major Announcements

7th heaven Major Announcements

Welcome to the 7th heaven June Newslettter
There is SO much going on in the 7th heaven world that we want to share all the great news... the past few months have been amazing and it's starting to pick up steam.

Jukebox - 500 Original Songs
Jukebox is a MASSIVE 500+ all -original song box-set of songs we have written, recorded and/or played in the 25 years 7th heaven has been around. This box set is a great musical journey thru different styles of music. We do not think there has been another band to date that has released this many originals at one time. This could break a world record! Jukebox has a bunch of guest singers as well as featuring your favorite members. All songs have been written by at least one member of 7th heaven in the 25 year history. Some songs are brand new, some are older but had never been released, all are fresh new recordings. This product will be available in 5 formats;
· 1 - A box set of traditional CD's (about 20-25). The box set contains a bonus disk of the original MP3's of demos as they were written and recorded over the last 25 years. This bonus data disk is only available in the full CD box-set.
· 2 - A data DVD with all the songs as MP3's.
· 3 - A flash drive with all the songs as MP3's.
· 4 - The internet: i-Tunes, Amazon, NTD Records store and 7thheavenband.com.
· 5 - A limited edition Apple iPod with the entire catalog on it.
Look for a complete listing of all songs on our website with full production notes and credits, as
well as writing credits, who is performing on each track, all the lyrics to every song. This section of the website will be done this summer. Jukebox will be available mid-summer.

Beginning June 1st look for songs to be posted on 7thheavenband.com for your previewing pleasure! Look for these very special products at the merch table and online in July. The price of this product will be very low, as we want our music to be heard by everyone. We hope you all pick a copy of this amazing product.

7th heaven to open for Bon Jovi at Soldier Field
THANK YOU goes out to all of you who were nice enough to take them time out of your day to vote 7th heaven #1 out of 500+ bands to put us in first place. We not only took first place, but we secured an opening slot for Bon Jovi & Kid Rock at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL on Friday July 30, 2010. What an amazing experience that will be! Thanks again for helping us win this, without all of you this could not have happened.

25 Years of 7th heaven !!!
2010 marks our 25th year of being a band!!! We will be releasing "Jukebox" as well as some other news stuff coming soon. We typically are not a band that stops to look back because we always focus on the future, but this milestone is one that very few bands can say they have achieved. The history of this band is an amazing story, for those of you who have shared your lives with 7th heaven over the 25 years, you have seen some amazing good times and some sad bad times. You have watched us get older, wiser and better. We have watched many of you go from high school to college to careers to marriage and families. Feel free to check out our MASSIVE history section on our website. It's broken down by years and really is a massive amount of information. You can also learn about the very important band members that have helped put 7th heaven on the map and keep it there. We are planning to have a reunion show at Durty Nellies on November 19, 2010 featuring some past band members and many original songs over the past 25 years.

7th heaven picnic - Our way to say THANKS
As a way to say "Thanks" to everyone for voting for us with Bon Jovi and supporting our band, we are hosting a 7th heaven picnic. This will be on Sunday, September 19th from 12 noon - 3pm off Golf Road in Schaumburg in the Busse Woods Forest Preserve. Details and a map can be found on our website under the tour page.

Endorsements
7th heaven has signed endorsement deals with Vic Firth drum sticks and we now have custom 7th heaven drum sticks. You can get a pair for yourself at our merchandise table at all shows. Mike and band will gladly sign them. Richie has also signed a endorsement deal as a producer with the software company "Toontrack". 7th heaven is also endorsed by: Dunlop, Dean Markley, Grundorf and Mesa Boogie.

Winning It All - Chicago Blackhawks
Last summer, Walter E. Smithe and the Chicago Cubs used our song "This Summers Gonna Last Forever" in TV ads. This Summer our song "Winning It All" might be featured for the Chicago Blackhawks if they win the Stanley Cup. So let's hope they take it all the way to "Win It All"

NEW 7th heaven T Shirts and Merchandise
We have a bunch of NEW T-Shirt designs available at the merchandise table at our shows. Check them out. Over the next month we will be releasing a few brand new designs and limited run shirts. We also have a bunch of other cool stuff coming out this year like wristbands, necklaces, dog tags, temporary tattoos, water bottles, key chains, beach balls, and things that glow in the dark, so make sure you continue to stop by the merchandise table at each show. Our new 2010 newsletter should be available next week as well with more information and full 2010 schedule. Per request, we now accept credit cards at the merch table.

7th heaven Newsletter October 2009

7th heaven Newsletter October 2009

Welcome to the 7th heaven October Newslettter
Busy sums up this month. Most of the work being done is away from the stage. We have been working in the studio recording TONS of music. So this newsletter will be brief so we can get back to work on making music. Look for our new "U.S.A.-U.K." DVD now available when you purchase our "U.S.A. - U.K." CD.

New Music Video for "Still Be Here"
Our NEW "Still Be Here" music video is now online!
This video tells a story of Keith falling in love and has cameos of each band member thru it. Shot in one day in various locations. The girl in the video is a paid actress/model. This video is not suited for kids.

Check it out here:
http://www.7thheavenband.com/pages/video/musicvideos/stillbehere.html

It is also on our YouTube, MySpace and Facebook pages.

Radio Interview and 7th heaven spins
I just did a interview with The Kat 105.5FM in Kanakee, IL that will air this Thursday at 8pm. So if you live in the south suburbs, tune in. They will play "This Summers Gonna Last Forever" & "Better This Way" off our "U.S.A.-U.K." CD. The website is: http://www.kat1055.com

For those who can't pick the station up, it will be streaming off a website afterwards, I will put that interview on our website and in our next months newsletter for all of you to hear.

7th heaven on WXRT?!?!
Yup... can you believe WXRT played 7th heaven? Not just once, but twice this past week. What makes this a interesting event is that we don't really fit into the demographics of the station. However, the DJ Richard Milne who does a show called "Local Anesthetic" decided to spin "Better This Way". So a HUGE Thank You to him for that. Ironically, it was a DJ from 101.9fm (a station that SHOULD be playing 7th heaven) that we met at Millennium Park this summer who told us about Richard, so Thanks to Jeff Corder as well.
WXRT: http://www.93xrt.com/wxrt-chicago-local-anesthetic/1522354
Email Jeff at 101.9 The Mix and tell him to spin 7th heaven: jcorder@wtmx.com

NEW ORIGINAL CD & DVD - U.S.A.-U.K. IS NOW AVAILABLE!
Our new original CD called "U.S.A.-U.K." is now available on iTunes. It is also available thru our "store" on our website and at all shows. The CD is $10.00 and contains 18 songs. If you only get one of our CD's, this is the one you should get. The entire CD can be heard on our jukebox. This product now comes with a DVD of all of our music videos off this CD.

Some reviews:
· Great songs are the heart of any great record and this album features great songs. - MelodicRock.com (Australia)
· It's hard to find something wrong with this U.S.A. - U.K. 100/100 - CrossRocks.com (France)
· Splendid 2nd release from the awesome US melodic rockers, which kicks out the sh** of the latest Def Leppard releases. - AORHeaven.com (Germany)
· In my opinion one of the best releases of year 2008. - Hardsounds.it (Italy)
· A remarkable piece of work - RockAvenueRecords.com (Japan)

Another good review of "U.S.A. - U.K."
Melodic.net (Sweden) just did a review of "U.S.A.-U.K." and gave it a good review:

"The Chicago based AOR band 7th Heaven is a bit like the town Reno, they're the biggest little band in the world with sold out records and national tours every year without a major label deal or airplays on radio. The 18 track album U.S.A - U.K is the first one with Keith Semple who replaced Andrew Blake in 2006, 6 songs from their 2003 album Silver has been re-recorded with Semple for U.S.A - U.K but we also get 12 new songs from this extremely underrated AOR band.
There was a documentary made about the Canadian metal band Anvil that became a blockbuster movie in the theatres this year, that told the story about a band that has struggled over 25 years without getting big. 7th Heaven is Anvil of AOR, bandleader Richard Hofherr writes songs that could've been recorded by Def Leppard except that Leppard is huge and 7th Heaven is not.

Songs like Better this way, Still be here and Electronic Karma should be Top 100 hits if there was any justice in this world."

7th heaven Newsletter August 2009

7th heaven Newsletter August 2009

Welcome to the 7th heaven August Newslettter
There's times when the stars seem to align and a certain type of synergy seems to be working. Right now that is what our world is like. In the history of the band we have not had so much momentum. So many of you have so kind to come out night after night and support us. It really is appreciated. We don't always have the time to chat or tell you thank you, so THANK YOU!!!! :)

Why aren't you guys huge? On Radio? Signed? Etc...
Well, this is a interesting question we keep getting asked over and over again. The answer is a difficult one to answer but I can tell you that the reason we were just on WGN was because of YOU! That's right... a few of you took the time to call the station and tell them to have us and they contacted us. So when we tell you to call the radio and tell them to play us, it will work if we all work in numbers. If you think we should be somewhere email or call the place and tell them to have us or play our music. You would be surprised how often this actually works. A few of our shows have happened because a few of you contacted the people in charge and told them to check out 7th heaven... let's keep that going.. it's working.
YOU are our best salesmen.

Snack King
e played Austin's once and this guy with a huge camera started shooting photos of us. We didn't think anything of it until we saw what kind of photos he shot and we were blown away. Our good friend Michael Liberacki, better known as "Snack King" has been shooting some amazing photos of us at various shows. His photos are on our website right now, our flyers and our ads in various magazine, as well as newspapers and posters. He also created a great video from our unplugged show we did in Long Grove last month.
