Here’s a quick glimpse at what the weekend was like, then we can quickly talk new year’s resolutions. (If anyone has crowd surfing footage, will you post it to youtube & put the link on our facebook page? That’d be most baller of you!)

Let us quickly clear up some rumors that are hanging out there (totally our fault, it’s probably time to bite the bullet and hire a publicist, again…our fault)

RUMOR #1 – Yes. There is a record deal sitting in our inbox from a label, but we HAVE NOT SIGNED IT.

RUMOR #2 – We are planning the release of new music 1st quarter of 2012, HOWEVER these next songs are actually from the vault. They were recorded during the JAG sessions. (Most have never been heard). Originally we were just going to let them sit in the digital abyss but on a recent road trip we busted them out and soon after decided they should definitely be released from their captivity…

How about we do SS New Year’s Resolutions in another blog post later this week! (One of our resolutions is to BLOG, often!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Make it count.

Sleeperstar Goes International

At the tail end of last year, the hit CW show The Vampire Diaries featured one of our songs “I Was Wrong” in a very epic scene between two of the main characters.  Six months and 24,986 downloads later our music is starting to spread exponentially quicker than we had ever previously experienced!  The appreciation for the show and its incredibly loyal fan base has been talked about many times over in our camp.  Thank you all so much for pushing the song and the album, and for doing it in such an amazing way.  Please keep it up!  If you missed the scene and want to check it out, just go to youtube and search the words “sleeperstar vampire.”  (We’ll be honest, the fact that you can search “our band name” + the word “vampire” kinda makes us happy)

Pre-Production On Sleeperstar’s New Album Has Begun!!!

What’s tentatively being called “The Light, The Sound, The Fire” is in its beginning phases.  Yes we’re talking to labels (they started calling us because you all are pushing our music to your friends!) but REGARDLESS it is safe to say you can expect “tL tS tF” in your hands in 2012!!

Upcoming Tour Dates

We’re doing a handfull of shows in the US in April and May.  For details on upcoming dates visit the “Tour” section of our website: http://www.sleeperstar.com/blog/tour
