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!

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!

Well, there’s plenty!

-We have been getting significant airplay on WYEP 91.3FM.

We have a lot going on behind the scenes that we’d like to tell you about. Read on to find out what’s (been) happening.

Internet Singles

As most of you probably know, we released our first of many “Internet Singles” on April 1st. In addition to the full band singles that are released on the 1st of each month, we will be offering some material that Steve & Joe have been working on in their spare time in the Dirty Jerz. These extra singles will be released on the 15th of each month. The first of these “extra” singles is titled, “Arsonist’s Blues,” and will be available on April 15th.

Speaking of the “Internet Singles,” we will be recording the May 1st single this coming weekend, we hope to post pictures shortly after we recover from the weekend blitz.

Upcoming Shows

We have several shows coming up at the end of April. Visit the SHOWS page to see if we’ll be playing in your area. Or tell your friends who live in those areas that we’re coming and they should definitely catch our show(s).

Radio Airplay

We are getting ready to mail out a bunch of CDs to radio stations. We’d love to know which independent or college radio stations in your area we should send to. If you have any suggestions, post a comment, or shoot us an email (info{at}goodnightstates.com) to let us know!

It’s all too much…

Is this all getting to be too much to keep up with? You should visit our RSS page to discover the greatness of RSS feeds. There is a link to a great video all about how RSS works and there are also links to all of the RSS feeds that we offer for www.goodnightstates.com.

Stop back soon and often!

We’ve uploaded some new media for your consumption.

There are two new videos on the VIDEOS page and a new photoset on the PHOTOS page from our Goldhawk show in Hoboken in January.

Also, “I Am the Loser” has been featured for the past few weeks on the local music news on WYEP 91.3 FM in Pittsburgh. If you are a listener of WYEP and have heard it, call in or email the station and let them know that you like it and think that they should keep playing it.

We appreciate all that you do to support us in our music and art! You’re the best!
