Thanks Alaska
Well, the Alaska leg of the 2009 MLB summer tour is now behind us, and we are all taking it easy here in UT for a few days trying to recover from what was possibly the best 2 weeks of our lives.  Just when you think Alaskans could never get any more wild, they enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to prove you wrong.  The MLB owes an enormous debt of gratitude to those of you that danced in the streets of Talkeetna, climbed on the speakers and danced on stage in Denali, the folks that waited patiently in the pouring rain trying to get into the Anchorage shows, our gracious hosts and new friends in Nome, and last, but definitely not least, all of our dear friends in Fairbanks that make our Howling Dog shows go off every year!  We truly treasure our friendships and adventures with you guys, and we can’t wait to see you all again.

More Shows
However, the show isn’t over yet.  We still have Oregon and Idaho coming right up, as well as our local CD release party.  Please rally the troops and meet us in Portland on Saturday, or at the Les Schwab Ampitheater in Bend on Sunday.  If you are in Idaho, we’ll be @ The Reef in Boise (advance tickets reccomended), as well as another stop in lovely Sun Valley again soon.

FREE STUFF!!
Want a FREE SHIRT or CD? Well, we have been seeing a lot of live pictures and video being taken this summer.  We definitely encourage this behavior, and we would actually LOVE you to send us any pictures or video you might have of the band on stage.  As most of you know, each and every MLB show is different, from Matt’s blazing freestyle raps, to the band’s extended jams, and even entirely improvised songs written on the spot.  It’s what we love to do, and what you love to see, and we’d like to share it!  We have had some random stuff sent to us over the last year, and we want more.  We love it so much we are calling out to all of you to please send in your videos or pictures.  Send them at will to live@mattlewisband.com, or if your files are too large to email please drop us a quick note and we can make different arrangements for you to upload them.  We will give away FREE SHIRTS or ALBUMS to the best videos we get every week.

NEW ALBUM! Official release date isn’t until 09/09/09, but we are selling the new album at all of our shows, so come out and get your copy early!

Thank you all very much, and we hope to see you soon,

Hey guys, we are in the process of starting up a fan club section on the site.  The content will be completely free, the only prerequisite being that you are a member of our email list in order to get the password.  We will be sure to let everybody know all the details as soon as it is ready.

In the meantime, here are two bootleg videos from our latest show at the Blue Loon in Fairbanks, AK.  This is exactly the kind of cool stuff you can expect to find in the Fan section of the site as soon as it is done.  We are pretty excited!  See you all real soon, and big thanks to all who made the trek out to the Loon last week.
