Blame Betty

4/3/08: Big news! We've been nominated for a SAMMIE!! The Sammies are the Sacramento Area Music Awards, and a pretty big deal in this town. We are totally honored and overwhelmed to have been nominated!!! Voting starts in May, so we'll post an update at that time.

Other big news too! We found a killer new lead guitarist! His name is Matt Vijeh, and we think he's gonna add a lot to the band! He played his first show with us at Marilyn's in March. And we finally updated the Photos page! We hope to get some more pix of Matt and Jason up there soon.

2/18/08: Man, SO much going on! We're super busy right now! Our original lead guitarist, Jason, left the band in December, but we've been doing surprising well as a trio so we haven't rushed the replacement process. We've written four new original songs and just recorded three of them. We should have a couple of them up on myspace any day now, so check our our myspace page to hear them! We'll definitely have an EP or CD out by Spring. In the meanwhile, we're trying to squeeze in auditioning guitarists in between writing, recording, practicing, and doing shows. We're going to be on the radio LIVE! We're super stoked that KDVS independent radio in Davis, CA has asked us to perform a long set in their studio at midnight, Saturday night, March 1st. You should be able to stream the audio from anywhere! So tune in, and turn on to Blame Betty! he he, that was so cheesy, I just had to say it! LOTS of shows coming up, so check out the schedule and pop into one!

So look for some awesome changes to the website and new band photos soon. We have some shows booked for July and September, and we really can't wait to get out there and ROCK!
