Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!! | News

alexband — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 21:32:00 GMT

Happy Holidays!!!! It’s almost 2008, finally time to release my record! The anticipation is killing me, it’s almost been 3 years now and I’m beyond ready to get back out on the road and see you all. I still don’t know exactly when my record will be coming out next year, but as soon as I find out I will of course let you all know. As usual, for the Holidays, I have given you all a new song (go to alexmaxband.com to download it now!). I’ve probably written and demoed over 100 songs in the last 3 years for this album and clearly not all of them have made the cut to actually being recorded for the album. Some were great, some not as good, but I thought this one that Arms and I wrote and demoed out was a bit different and cool and perfect as a gift. I hope you like it:) I’ve also posted a little video for you all with a personal Holiday message from me. You can find that also at www.alexmaxband.com for download or you can view it on my myspace page. As always, thank you for sticking with me through all these years of waiting…you guys are the best. Just wait till you hear this record! Your head will explode with insane happiness! ;) Happy Holidays to you all….and Happy New Year! I’ll speak to you again in 2008 when we take over the world!!! HA HA HA! All the love… Alex Band

Letter to the Fans | News

alexband — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 23:13:00 GMT

Due to the current state of the music business and how tough it is out there, the powers that be have decided it's best to release my album worldwide during the first quarter of next year. With a little more time, this record can be properly set up with all the money and push possible, not to mention completely perfecting the songs and recordings on the record and maybe even adding some more great ones. You guys are the most important to me and I am going to do everything in my power to continue to keep you in the loop and also give you new music until my record comes out (I'll sneak some stuff for you!).

For those of you in the US, I am going to be playing two shows as of now for Donate Life: My concert, 'Alex Band's Donate Life Rocks', here in Los Angeles at the Hard Rock Universal on October 26th featuring many other great artists and Halloween fun. And another show for Donate Life, November 10th in Richmond, Virginia at Toad's Place. Tickets will be available for both shows soon, so I hope to see some of you there.

Also, 'The Final Season', the movie I wrote the main song for called 'I'm Coming Home' will be coming out in October in theaters across the US and the song will be available for purchase online. I'll also be doing TV and press to coincide with the movie release. There are lots of other really exciting things in the works and I'm going to of course keep you all updated. I do believe things happen for a reason, and I think this new plan is for the best. I dream about the day when I will be touring the world and playing these new songs for you all. I miss that sooooo much! It's right around the corner, just stick with me and I promise you won't be disappointed. Talk to you soon. All the love

Alex Band Fans/Donate Life Supporters... Announcement... | News

alexband — Wed, 09 May 2007 21:01:00 GMT

As most of you are aware, Geffen recording artist, Alex Band, and his wife, Jennifer Sky Band have been supporting Donate Life America for many years.

What you don't know is, over the past several months Alex and Jennifer have been in the process of creating their own "Donate Life" organization. This new and exciting organization will be known as "Alex Band's Donate Life Rocks" and is being created to promote organ, eye and tissue donation awareness through concerts and events using the entertainment industry.

This July, Alex Band's Donate Life Rocks will produce its first concert in conjunction with the Hard Rock Cafe Universal City in Los Angeles.
Over the next few weeks we will be announcing the line up, venue and all details associated with the event. We are all thrilled with this exciting news and hope that you will all support this new organization.

Denise Mancini Tripp, whom most of you know through her sixteen years with the United Network for Organ Sharing and Donate Life America, will be handling the day-to-day operation of Alex Band's Donate Life Rocks. However, Alex and Jennifer will be involved in all aspects of this organization.

All the love,
Alex Band's Donate Life Rocks

Hi from New York | News

alexband — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 17:48:00 GMT

Hey everyone! The record is almost done being mixed now! Only five more songs to go! I still don’t have a release date yet, but I’m hoping to know more in the next month as my finished record begins to circulate around my record label. I wanted to let you all know about something else exciting as well. I am currently in NY doing press and performances for an upcoming movie called "The Final Season". They are premiering the movie at the Tribeca film festival here on Saturday.

It’s a really great movie and a superb writer named Mitch Allen and I wrote the end credit song. I don’t know when the movie will be released, but I’ve heard end of summer. The song should be available on iTunes when my record is released later this year. More news to come!

All the love…

Update! | News

alexband — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 19:59:00 GMT

Hey everyone! I wanted to give you all an update, as my timeline has unfortunately changed a bit. Just this last week, I did the final live string sessions for the record, it was by far the most magical moment yet. Check back later today to watch it all in the 15^th in-studio video!

I will be doing some final tweaking this coming week on the album, and then we will be mixing everything in a couple weeks, which will take some time as well. I don’t know how much you all know about the current state of the music business, but it is very, very bleak. Major labels are dropping like flies, record stores are closing left and right, and bands…talented bands, are getting let go on a daily basis. It’s a sad thing to be a part of this and watch it over the last bunch of years. Needless to say, this does affect me. Every step I take to push my record to come out sooner, I have to take another step back, due to other circumstance that I have no control over. Now, with all that said, I want you all to know that my record will come out this year, it will be better than you can imagine, and my label is very much behind it. All this extra time has done nothing but let me write more incredible songs and make this record sound even better…so there is a positive! But obviously, just like all of you, I am wanting to be out there touring and sharing this album with the world. It’s getting very close, but it won’t be this month like I was told. Instead of specifying an actual week or month, I am just going to tell you guys once I know the actual date, when it is set in stone. I am still as excited as I’ve been, if not more, and I will continue to update you all on the rest of the process. All the love!!!

P.S. For those of you who leave me messages on Myspace, AlexBand.net. alexband888@aol.com and anywhere else; just know that I am spending all my time and energy right now finishing this record. But I will, as I have always, get back into the process of answering as many of you as I can, which I love to do. Thank you for understanding:)

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Wow, it’s almost 2007! I never thought the day would come! Next year is going to be amazing! My record is finally going to come out and I get to tour the world again and see you all! There’s still much work to be done on the record…next month I will be finishing up the two songs I’m currently working on with Matt Serletic, doing all the live strings for the 6 songs I recorded with Tal, recording 3 other songs with two new producers, finishing producing the song Arms and I wrote, and finally mixing everything with an amazing mixer named Jack Joseph Puig! And then of course it will be time to get a kick ass band together and get ready for the fun stuff!

The first single is still due out March and the record will be released worldwide sometime around June. As always, I wanted to leave you all a special Holiday treat, so Debbie has been kind enough to put it up on her site for download: www.alexmaxband.com. It’s one of my favorite songs that I wrote and produced out myself earlier this year here at my house. Unfortunately it’s one of many songs that didn’t make it on this record, so I thought I should share with all of you!

Also, the last in-studio video of the year will be put up this Friday and it’s going to be a good one. I’m off to Florida for the Holidays and will be returning at the beginning of the year to get back to work! I want to thank you all again for your continued support…I have the best family of fans a guy could ask for! So, I wish you all a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year and I’ll see you in 2007!

All the love…

HELLOOOOOO!

I wanted to check in and wish all you American fans a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm currently taking a week off and vacationing in Florida for Thanksgiving. But I will be back in the studio starting next week....Which means more in-studio videos very soon! I spent the last two weeks writing some great new songs. I don't know which ones will end up on the record though...I've already got so many crazy tracks!

The schedule for the album and single release are still right on target. The first single is scheduled for end of first quarter next year release, with the album coming out end of second quarter. And to answer all you international fans' questions, the album will of course be released worldwide! Although I will be spending ample time here in the States to promote the first single, I am so looking forward to traveling abroad again and coming to see you all...It's been toooooo long! Anyway, have a great Thanksgiving and I'll catch you all next week. All the love...
