Announcing our first download of the month – “I Will!”

Posted by mbgband on

Thanks for subscribing to our brand new email list!  As promised, today we’ve got some pretty awesome news to share with you. But first: the back story…

If anything, Mediocre Bad Guys is about the natural evolution of a band. We formed in 2006 as a pretty exclusive Jack Johnson-only cover trio. A few years later we branched out to include a much more diverse mix of tunes.  So it was only a matter of time before we’d start writing our own songs.  Three of the four of us have already released a wide catalog of original tunes, with the fourth (that’d be Les) a budding songwriter-in-waiting.

So in 2010 we got to work, and in no time the songs started flowing.  At a band meeting at Mellow Mushroom last spring, our plan came to fruition: we would write, record, and release one song a month, making it available to you and the world for download.  Exactly how many months, you ask?  As many as the creative muse will take us!  Our first one out the gate will be “I Will,” a bouncy little tune that’s guaranteed to get your foot tapping.  It came out of a simple jam at band practice one night, demonstrating that inspiration can strike at any given moment.

For this and all future downloads we’ll be using Bandcamp – a nifty music website that allows you to download songs in a variety of formats.  It’ll also come embedded with the band pic and potentially lyrics.  Steve used Bandcamp to release his latest album, and Jerry has his entire music catalog there. The first 200 downloads of “I Will” will be FREE (it’ll also give you the option to pay something for it if you so desire).  After then, you can download the song for an extremely nominal fee.

So – be on the lookout this Thursday (the first of the month, our target date for all future releases) for an email from us.  In it you’ll find a link to the Bandcamp download!  And while you’re waiting for that glorious day to come:

The very first Mediocre Bad Guys original tune is mere days away!  Thanks for joining us in the excitement.

The Guys
