Merry Advent Everyone!

A few points of note:

• Good Night, States was selected as 91.3FM WYEP’s 2008 Local Artist of the Year! We have a nice write-up in their Year-in-Review book that is sent to all station members. Thanks WYEP!
• We promised you three singles before the end of the year. We missed the Thanksgiving deadline, but we’re working hard to make up for it. Steve has a bit to say on this topic. Click here to view his monologue. (hint: a FREE Christmas song for download!)
• We will be playing with Ben Hardt at First Night 2009, Pittsburgh’s New Years’ Eve celebration. It goes without saying that we’re really excited about this show. Visit the SHOWS page for all of the relevant details.

As 2008 winds down amidst all of the busy-ness, hopes, fears, regrets, and anticipation/anxiety of the next year, We (Good Night, States) are IMMEASURABLY thankful for everyone who has downloaded our music, put us up for the night, booked us for a show, played us on the radio, blogged about us, and come to hear us play. If you weren’t a part of any of those aforementioned groups, we are still extremely thankful for you.

May your heart be filled with PEACE this holiday season!

Hello All,

We are driving away in mere minutes to begin our November Tiny-Tour which has us in Brooklyn, Boston, & Philly! Visit the SHOWS page for all of the details!

While on this tour, we will be finishing up the Yet-To-Be-Named Thanksgiving (November) Internet Single and beginning to write the Christmas (December) Single. We’ll have pictures up soon of last weekend’s recording sessions. In the meantime, visit the PHOTOS page to check out the other Internet Single recording sessions.

Also, check out some of our blog press here and here.

See you soon!

Good day, everyone!

We’re playing Club Cafe tomorrow night (Thursday, Nov. 13th)! We’re super excited to play another Pittsburgh show and we’re even more excited to be sharing the stage with Boca Chica & Army of Me. We’ve updated the details for this and other shows, so go to the SHOWS page and check out the updates. And visit the other bands’ websites while you’re at it!

In addition to playing at Club Cafe tomorrow, we will be finishing up writing and recording November’s Internet Single (to be released sometime around Thanksgiving). The following week (11/19-11/22), we will be making a jaunt up the east coast, hitting Brooklyn, Boston, & Philly. If you live in any of those locales, we’d love to see you!

Wow, the sheer amount that we will be accomplishing in the next two weeks just hit me. I think I may have to go sleep it off.

P.S. In case you’ve forgotten, we recently released an internet single, “The Odd and The Even.” You can download it for free (or a price of your choosing) on the MUSIC page!

Greetings Lovely Listener(s),

Today we have reason to celebrate. No, not for getting to dress up in scary outfits so that people can give you sugary treats, it’s because our newest internet single, “The Odd and The Even,” comes out today!

“The Odd and The Even” is the first in a series of three internet singles that will be released to close out the year of 2008! You can expect the next installment around Thanksgiving and the last around Christmas. I guess you could call these last three “The 2008 Holiday Singles.”

If you’re interested in what “The Odd and The Even” looked like to record, you can go here to see the photo album!

You may think that we’d sit and bask in the glory of this celebratory event, but you would be mistaken! We will be celebrating by writing next month’s single. We love to deliver music to your desktop!

All treats and no tricks,
Good Night, States

Hey everyone,

We’re leaving right now for two middle-of-the-week shows, if you are in the area, check them out.

Show #1: Wednesday, October 15th (tonight)
We’ll be playing at Roustabout! again and hope to have a few of those HUGE fish-bowl drinks. This show is a bargain at $3 to get in.

Show #2: Thursday, October 16th (tomorrow night)
We’ll be appearing in Pittsburgh at the WYEP studios as a part of their Third Thursday Concert Series. This show is even more of a bargain because it’s FREE! There will even be free beer from the Penn Brewery.

For the details on these shows, visit the SHOWS page!

We keep the middle of your weeks exciting!
-Good Night, States

First off, we sincerely apologize to all of the people that came out to see Good Night, States last night at Brillobox. Unfortunately, Steve had severe allergic reaction to some food that he ate and was unable to perform the show. He really wanted to push through, and he even forced himself out of bed and downstairs, but was incapable of even standing up for more than a few minutes. He is doing fine now, but still has a little swelling remaining in his arms. Thanks to everyone who was concerned about him.

For anyone who brought a friend to the show that didn’t get a FREE toothbrush for themselves and their friend, please send us an email (info [at] goodnightstates [dot] com) with both mailing addresses so that we can mail them to you. Please specify the color(s) that you would like.

We all had a great set of shows in Cleveland and Cincinnati. It was excellent to play with The Bloodsugars in Cleveland (and Pittsburgh) and with Joy Wants Eternity in Cincinnati. Thanks to everyone who came to both of those shows and hung out with us afterwards, and thanks to the great folks in Pittsburgh for their support and concern last night.

We’ll see you for a FREE show at the WYEP studio on October 16!

Yours in Benadryl,
Good Night, States

A few updates to notify you about!

• We were featured on SPIN Magazine’s website today. Check out the review here.
• We now have T-Shirts available, in both Men’s and Women’s styles.
• We’ve updated our LINKS page. Go. Discover the internets.

We’ll be playing a lot of shows in the next few months, be sure to check out the SHOWS page for all of the details!

Due to the fact that most people are vacationing this time of year, we have decided to take a vacation, too. We’re taking a 2 month break from our internet releases in order to catch our breath and allow you, the listener, to catch up with all that we’ve released thus far. Don’t despair! We’ll be back at it in October!

There has been some confusion about the nature of the internet singles. Just to clear things up, the reason that we’ve called them “internet singles” is because they are single, distinct songs that are released via “the internet(s).” We currently have no current plans to release the “internet singles” on any form of physical media (cd, vinyl, cassette tape, 8-track, etc.), so download away, or get your friends to burn you a copy if you hate downloads. (Also to clarify, In The Impossible Tension, someday may be released on physical media, but don’t hold your breath).

Our latest full-length album, Short Films on Self-Control has been racking up some good reviews lately. Go here to read some snippets from those reviews.

Three cheers for summer vacation!

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at 91.3 WYEP’s Summer Music Festival! We were honored to play and share the stage with all of the wonderful acts that followed. Here’s some photos of the event. Oh, and The Watson Twins have a new album that came out last Tuesday (June 24th). You should get it not only because it is good, but because they are the nicest people ever!

In other news, We will be releasing our newest internet single, “Sometimes I See You On The Lawn,” this Friday, July 4th, in order to coincide with the great celebration of our nation’s birthday. For those who caught our set at the WYEP music festival, you’ve already heard this song (but you should still get it when it comes out!).

In other other news, here’s a nice album review and show preview that came out last Friday.

All the best to you and yours!
