*** NEW RECORD UPDATE ***

Hey all,
Greetings from the inside of our studio as we just get to work on what will be our next record. All goes well as we try to reinvent this whole thing once more. We're not going to be playing as much over the next few months as we lock ourselves in. Things are going well with the recording of the new record. We have no specific plans as far as a release date yet but it will be in 2004. Be sure to check the website soon for photos from the studio.

*** BRET'S SOLO PROJECT ***

That is right. Bret recently finished scoring a soundtrack to the feature film "Everything's Jake" which stars Ernie Hudson, Debbie Allen, and Robin Givens and will be out in 2004. The score is mostly Bret with an acoustic guitar. Well, one thing led to another and the result is the debut solo record from Bret. If you want to get a sample of a few songs, be sure to check out his website http://www.bretalexander.com Most of the site is still under construction but the MP3 player is up and running. Stay tuned for an exact release date soon!!

*** S.A.M. STORE ***

You will also notice on the Badlees online store that there is a section for S.A.M. Records. Next month, the website for the record label will be launched with all of the info you will need on the S.A.M. artists and upcoming releases. The current roster includes The Badlees, Bret Alexander, The Cellarbirds, Katsu, Joe Charles, and Jared Campbell. In the meantime, you can visit the S.A.M. section of The Badlees store to pick up the debut releases from Jared Campbell & Joe Charles, two great singer-songwriters.
