August Newsletter

So originally we said the newsletter would go out originally Friday 8/1 at noon, but we decided that this wouldn't be fair because we have subscribers that respond to our giveaways from different parts of the world.  We decided that our newsletter will be going out on Saturday, 8/2, 4:00pm eastern time.  The giveaway is lots of new merchandise that has just come in or will be coming in next week including sunglasses and bottle openers!

The first 5 to reply to the newsletter with their mailing address wins the giveaway! Good Luck Maniacs!

Midnight Mob Signs onto Philly based Label

Recently we were contacted by CEO, David Esposito, of Fireback Records about joining their roster.  After hearing him out and reviewing what the label had to offer it was a no brainer to join.  You can visit Fireback Records at www.FirebackRecords.com and check them out for yourselves.

The world of music has changed so much it's ridiculous.  There is no such thing anymore as getting picked up by a super label and have tons of money thrown at you and invested into your band. Now it's all on the band to organize, fund and execute everything.  Fireback Records is one of those situations where an indie band can say thank you, you have taken alot of the burden off our shoulders so we can focus on songwriting. You wish there were more companies like this around to just genuinely help at a very reasonable price with no contracts.  PR companies cost an arm and a leg and you're not guaranteed anything.  You basically hope to not get scammed (avoid ArtistPR.com).

Now that I think of it.  It makes sense finding a new partner in the city of brotherly love. Cheers to you Fireback & looking forward to our partnership!

Peace, Love, Swag N Roll

July Newsletter & T-Shirt Giveaway

The newsletter is scheduled to go out tomorrow and will be through Get Response most likely around noon, Saturday 7/5.  We figured to delay it 1 day after the holiday.

This newsletter is also a T-Shirt Giveaway and it was kind of a last minute idea.  Yesterday we were organizing our merch and while taking inventory we realized that we have 2 old school gray medium tanks leftover.  These tanks fit like a basketball jersey, were experimental when we printed them up and will not be ordered.

We're going to work this the same way as the UK cd, which was extremely successful.  The first 2 maniacs that respond to the newsletter with their mailing address win a gray medium tank.  If you respond first, but don't leave your mailing address we're giving the shirt to the next maniac that gives their mailing address.

Please note that we have "cleaned" our mailing list.  We have been compiling analytics to see which people interact with our newsletters and which ones don't. All those that have interacted will remain on the list and all of those that have not, have been unsubcribed.  The reasons why did this was because we were kicked off our latest mailing service, Benchmark, due to receiving complaints from 2 subscribers and we want to avoid spamming everyone.  Since Benchmark gave us the boot we are now trying Get Reponse so if you see Get Response anywhere it is most likely from us.  If you do not receive the newsletter tomorrow and you previously signed up, but were removed then please sign up again!  You can do this through our blog using Fanbridge, which we are keeping until Get Response is completely up and running.  We will be reviewing our list much more closely going forward after our most recent experience.

Have an explosive fourth probably more ways than one!
