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.

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.<br /><br />New Music Video for "Still Be Here"<br />Our NEW "Still Be Here" music video is now online!<br />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.<br /><br />Check it out here:<br />http://www.7thheavenband.com/pages/video/musicvideos/stillbehere.html<br /><br />It is also on our YouTube, MySpace and Facebook pages.<br /><br />Radio Interview and 7th heaven spins<br />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<br /><br />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.<br /><br />7th heaven on WXRT?!?!<br />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. <br />WXRT: http://www.93xrt.com/wxrt-chicago-local-anesthetic/1522354<br />Email Jeff at 101.9 The Mix and tell him to spin 7th heaven: jcorder@wtmx.com<br /><br />7th heaven at Durty Nellies THIS FRIDAY!!!!!<br />This Friday, October 23, we'll be at Durty Nellies in Palatine.

It is also where 7th heaven first got it's start by it's first "club" show. We were 15 years old at the time. Come out and see Tony DiGiulio, Richie Hofherr, Chris Senior, Nick Cox and Michael Mooshey play a couple songs from the past. It should be a great night to remember.

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.<br />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.<br /><br />Songs like Better this way, Still be here and Electronic Karma should be Top 100 hits if there was any justice in this world."<br />http://www.melodic.net/reviewsOne.asp?revnr=6212<br /><br />FOR MORE REVIEWS, CHECK OUT OUR "PRESS" SECTION ON OUR WEBSITE<br /><br />7th heaven Cruise - November 2009 - LAST CHANCE!!!<br />This is your last chance to join us on the next 7th heaven cruise.

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!!!! :) <br /> <br />Why aren't you guys huge? On Radio? Signed? Etc... <br />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. <br />YOU are our best salesmen. <br /> <br />New Music Video for "Gravity"<br />Our NEW "Gravity" music video is now online!<br />The video was shot at Naperville Ribfest in front of 60,000 people.<br />It was an amazing show to capture on video. <br /><br />Check it out here:<br />http://www.7thheavenband.com/pages/video/musicvideos/gravity.html<br /><br />It is also on our YouTube, MySpace and Facebook pages.<br /> <br />Pop Medley 2 CD & DVD - Now Available<br />Our NEW Pop Medley 2 CD, <br />which features our new 30 songs in 30 minutes, is now available! <br /><br />You can find more info about this Medley on our website's store section. <br />The CD & DVD combo digipack is only $15.00 plus $5.00 for shipping worldwide.<br /><br />We took video clips of us in the studio putting our parts down, so check out a rare inside look at how we do what we do in the studio in this video.<br /><br />Hear it on our online Jukebox.<br /> <br />7th heaven Cruise - November 2009 - VERY CHEAP RATES<br />We will be sailing the Mexican Riviera (Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan & Cabo San Lucas) out of Los Angeles, CA on the brand new Carnival Splendor.

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.

Michael Jackson was one of the best performers ever. The collection of accomplishments he made was amazing. He was a MAJOR influence on me as a performer, producer and writer. I always respected that he would stop at nothing to put his best foot forward and thought every detail of his work needed to be the utmost best. I respect that work ethic. When people die I think it's safe to say that in one way or another each of us stop for a second a reflect on our own lives. Michael Jackson shows me that the single most best thing one can do for yourself is to achieve. Achieve the goals you set for yourself and after you die, your accomplishments will stand on their own and no one can take that from you. They are more important than money or stature. When I think of Michael Jackson, I will always think of accomplishments.

I always thought it would be neat to have a place to chime in a share with everyone what is going on with 7th heaven on a weekly basis. We are using the blog two different ways. 1 - the "News" section of our site is now based on a blogger. 2 - the "Blogger" tab is all the things that don't really fit in the "News" tab, but are thoughts on our mind we want to share. I have been using it to keep everyone in the loop with what's happening behind the scenes.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">National Acts We'll be with this Summer</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This summer we'll be with a few GREAT bands on the same bill or day, most on the same stage.

Tammy plays in our unplugged version of 7th heaven. This band is a huge party band that plays a wide range of songs all based around the party vibe. We just did a show together with them at Blarney's Island and you can check them out at </span><a href="http://www.HSSSRocks.com/" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">www.HSSSRocks.com</span></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">2 - HiFi Superstar - This is a great quality band that brings back the energy and substance that the bands from the 1970's had. They play both originals and covers. They are not a disco band. Some compare them to Cheap Trick, Off Broadway, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Wings, Elton John, etc... We played together at the Cubby Bear last month and they had a great response. The band's two CD's are also now available thru NTD Records and on iTunes. Check them out at </span><a href="http://www.HiFiSuperstar.com/" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">www.HiFiSuperstar.com</span></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Rain? Cancelled shows?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This past week one of our shows was canceled due to the threat of rain. Many of you were curious if we were playing or not. We have our calendar all over the place. However the single best place to come to see if a show is canceled will be the front page of our website. I will always update our website as soon as I know if the show will be canceled. Many times the show won't be called until we are at the place, which prevents me from giving you fair warning, but when I can I will always change the home page on our website and the tour page. If you are unsure, check our website. Will also post on our Facebook page.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">UPCOMING SHOWS</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 10 Bolingbrook Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 11 Potters Place - @</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 12 Ohio Bike Week</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 13 Andersonville Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 13 Pride of the Fox RiverFest - St. Charles</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 14 Wells Street Art Fair</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 14 Deerfield Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 18 Elk Grove Rotary Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 19 John Barleycorn</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 20 St. Josaphat Summerfest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 20 Elgin Brewfest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 21 Chicago Summerfest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 25 Milwaukee Summerfest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 26 Downers Grove Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 26 C. of the Holy Spirit Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 27 Taste of Joliet</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 27 Taste of Grayslake</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 28 Strawberry Fest - @</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">June 28 St. Daniels Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 1 Navy Pier</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 2 Oak Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 4 Skokie Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 5 Naperville Ribfest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 7 Cubby Bear</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 8 Darien Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 9 Island in the City Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 10 Byron Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 11 Aurora Downtown Alive</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 11 Taste of Park Ridge</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 12 Rock Around the Block</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 12 Glendale Heights Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 14 Buffalo Grove Fest</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">July 16 Mt.

We have been booking more and more summer festivals. It's still too early to release the dates because shows are still being added daily. Look for the summer schedule to be released in the May newsletter. Other than booking shows, We have been working a lot of a bunch of different things. Here's what we have going on... <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Famous Freddies - R.I.P.</span><br />One of our favorite places to play is coming to a end. Famous Freddies in Mt. Prospect is closing and turning into a restaurant next week. This Saturday April 11 will be the last time you can see us at Famous Freddies. We have had a lot of great memories in this place and will miss it. Make sure you come out!!!<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Walter E Smithe - Chicago Cubs - 7th heaven</span><br />We just got word that the Walter E.

We were asked by the Chicago Bulls to come to the United Center to sing the National Anthem for the Chicago Bulls - L.A. Lakers Basketball Game. It was a sold out crowd and it was a awesome experience we'll never forget. In case you missed it you can see it here: http://www.7thheavenband.com/pages/video/tvmovieappearances/bullslakers.html<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Animal House revisited & U. of I. craziness</span><br />Ok, so we have one more college show left before the school season ends and what a better way to celebrate then to throw a frat party. We'll be at the biggest frat party in U. of I. at the double trouble frat party on Saturday April 25. This should be a awesome party, if you're in Champaign, IL come out to the show. Tons of fun!!!<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Wanna be in our next music video?</span><br />Would you like to be in our next music video?

We played it first at Durty Nellies and since have cut a few songs shorter in the medley. We're going to play it one more time at Famous Freddies this Saturday and then we'll cut out some songs we don't think are working well in it and then it should be finalized for the summer. So if you would like to hear it in it's full length and want to give us feedback on it, come out this Saturday to Famous Freddies. And don't forget to give us feedback on it.<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">7th heaven blogger</span><br />So we finally changed our messageboard on our website to a blogger that the band and crew wil all be posting thoughts in. We are going to post all different types of things in the blogger to give you a insight of what our lives are like and what it takes to make 7th heaven run. Since we are new to blogging we're not sure if we'll open it up to everyone or not. Also the news section is now based off a blogger too, which will be easier for everyone to look back at the past news. We welcome any suggestions and things you would like to see.<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">New Music Video for "Cellophane"</span><br />Have you been to a 7th heaven show recently?

That was the year 7th heaven was born and played the first show. In our 24 years we have seen so many of you meet for the first time, become friends and some become married, become parents and see generations of people come out and share a moment with us. As we approach our 25 year anniversary, we want to stop and tell you a little bit of the journey that we have been on. On our history section on our website you can see over 12,000 photos, many of the photos are from shows with pictures of you in there. In each year, click the photo gallery to see what life was like with 7th heaven during that time. You can also see a story on the band for each year, as well as the songs we wrote and performed that year. There are old flyers, newsletters, ads and photos of the website from that time. There are also many newspaper stories as well.
