Hey everyone, Justin and Kevin with a little spam for your inbox... ummm, take it how you want to I guess? So we have been busy taking care of our internet presence, perhaps the most loathsome part of the job, but absolutely necessary.
            With us being more than aware of the promotional value of YouTube for the independent artist we knew that eventually we were going to have to get off our asses and put together a video. With a limited budget we decided that the way to go would was to buy some software, come up with a concept and make it happen. The picture slideshow was the easiest format and let’s face it, neither Kevin or myself are any kind of a film-maker so the decision was simple. The concept was also easy as we had decided on Everything Heals so lastly we had to make it happen. That took a lot of work but we were pleased with the end result. Take a look and let us know if you like it, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
           We have also launched a Facebook add campaign recently that appears to be having some positive results. Included is a free download, if you already are a fan and haven’t received your free download message us and we will hook you up.
We also put together a store in reverbnation which can be accessed from our facebook page as well. Tons of SWG swag (men’s and women’s, sweaters, t-shirts even coffee cups!) as well as ringtones, cd’s and downloads.
           So one of the big things that happened recently on the writing front was some new lyrics for a song that was lost in musical limbo. The lick we used was one that Kevin wrote a few years ago and remains one of our favourites and we had written verse lyrics that we really liked as well. But alas a hook eluded us and we had put it on the shelf a while back. With the writing of our second album the song came up again and this time the hook came along with it. So we will be putting it down and will be sure to release some samples prior to releasing the song in full.
           Lastly we want to thank Terry at Signal9 Radio for adding us to the rotation and having this to say, “Finally from Calgary, Alberta, Saltwater Gypsy, catchy and complicated with great lyrics and definitely worth pushing the “repeat” button.” It’s awesome to hear positive reviews after all our hard work, thanks again!
           So we have been busy and it is paying off. We want to thank everyone who has recently become fans of the music, you guys rock. Please if you have any questions, hit us up on facebook, we would love to hear from you.

Keep doin’ what you’re doin’.
