So some people have already stumbled on the newly downlaodable version of our second album If This Is How It Has To Be on the Downloads page.
In order to see the link to download the high quality mp3s and PDF cover art, you have to be a registered member of this site. All that means is that you have to register using your email address, really. Then once you have logged in the link will be visible.
Obviously, once you have downloaded it you could give it to your friends or share the direct link or whatever, but I would really appreciate it if instead people came to the site and signed up. I just want to get an idea fow how many people are dowloading it, I guess.
No one has waited longer than BDD for Propagandhi to come back to Australia. I wet my pants when I heard they were coming over and promptly booked flights/tickets to go be a groupy, then, this week our buddies over at Blue Murder asked if we wanted to support them on the Queensland leg of their tour….um…..YES!
So, come out to the shows (as if you weren’t already!) and get there an hour early and catch us too! 2009 is gonna be a busy year for BDD: we have these awesome shows, then Rise Against and then shortly after that we’ll be demoing the new album of which half is already written. The wait between albums has been insanely long this time which sucks, but it IS all moving ahead.
Rumours of a tour mid Aus-wide year are also true. If you can offer us a place to sleep or play, get in contact with us!
When Tommy came up to Brisbane during the Lagwagon shows last month, we got writing and did a couple of demos. This video shows the new song “What’s the G20?” being recorded. We basically laid down the music then Tommy and I shouted over the top of it. The video was ’shot’ by B2 on his phone and the demo itself was recorded by our good mate and drummer brother Scott Mealor.
I have been meaning to move baddaydown.com to its new home for some time now, but something or another has always pushed it into the “too hard” basket. This morning (for the second time this week) the old server had some issue causing the entire site to be down. ‘Twas the final proverbial.
So… before I was ready and long after I should have, I have moved us to my new server and put up the newer version of the site I have been working on. It’s not all that different on the surface, but has some much needed functionality both for us and for any visitors.
Since this was not exactly a carefully planned update, there are going to be things missing. Be patient and we will have a much better more useful site for it (for instance, rss feeds of shows, user comments on our updates, etc).
This move should also begin to alleviate the issues with the free release of “If This Is How It Has To Be” I promised in the post below.
So have a poke around and feel free to send me any suggestions you might have:
So on Saturday night just passed I forgot to bring the CDs to the Lagwagon show to sell.
Bad Tommy.
So to kind of attempt to make up for it (and since we are now sold out of them anyway) I would like to release the album on the internets here to download.
One problem is, I suspect anyone who saw our sign to “just go download it” at the show has already come and gone and I haven’t had a chance to put it up yet. The other problem is that I would like to at least have some idea of how many people download it.
To that end, I am not putting it up… yet.
I will be putting If This Is How It Has To Be on this site for download in the next couple days as soon as I can figure out a way around those problems. Please keep checking back and download it when I get a chance to do it properly.
