Dogs, Pizzas, Burgers and a Beautiful Place

Sorry we missed the blog last week! Here are some updates with what has been going on lately.

So Battle of the Bands was absolutely awesome! We had a pretty good turn out a little over a hundred people in total. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and our crowd got to sit on this excellent lawn with incredible weather for a night of great entertainment. There were six bands that played and Baldwin Games placed third overall.

GUILT TRIP TIME: The winner received $1200 worth of promotional prizes. We placed third and the judging was based on the crowd cheering decibel level. The top three bands were so close on the decibel meter that less than a decibel decided the winner from the other two. That means if we had just like two more Baldwin Games fans there we would have taken home the first place prize.

That being said we would like to special shout out to all our friends that did make it out! We hope the rest of you can come next time.

Speaking of next time, we are all geared up for the next concert. This Thursday at Velour Music in Provo for FREE we are doing our second concert. Below is a link to the new event!

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday!

Things just keep picking up don't they!

So we have some awesome stuff coming up. This week's blog might be a little to do list for you fans.

We're scheduled to film the first Baldwin Games web spot next Saturday. It should be up online the week of the This University Life-Kalood concert.

Jared Meek is officially integrated into the band. Check out his introduction video we put up on our Youtube channel or on the Facebook group.

The Battle of the Bands is fast approaching and we need all the support we can get! Sep 19th, come with your friends, get JDawgs and pizza with your ticket and help support the homeless of Utah County.

Promotion is really starting to get under way for the concert on the 29th too. It's going to be awesome! Velour Music, free concert, doors open at 6:45, tell all your friends.

Also keep your eyes out for some Baldwin Games press spots. Particularly in the Daily Universe, The UVU Review and the Daily Herald.

We have a new single coming out soon called Out of Place. It should also be going up hopefully the week of the Kalood concert.

Sorry there isn't a bunch of new stuff going on yet. We're going to have some good stuff for you guys coming really soon though

Special Fact of the Day: Tomorrow Baldwin Games is getting interviewed for a news article for the first time. Press spots yeah!

Another Week DOWN! *Special shout-out to the late Crocodile Hunter.... I miss that guy*

So we definitely have some more really fun and interesting developments going on this week.

First off: we are more excited than ever for the Battle of the Bands coming up on the 19th! We just wanted to reiterate that food is included with the purchase of a ticket is free JDawgs! Also this BOTB is to support an awesome charity. All proceeds go to the homeless of Utah County. So there ya go. Be charitable, hear awesome music, support your favorite band and get free food all for five dollars. Talk about a great date night. Go check out the facebook page for more details.

Next, things have been finalized for our concert on the 29th at Velour. It is FREE, that's right absolutely free and we're hitting it up with Jenna Baker, j.wride and the young electric. The concert is meant to kick off This University Life radio and it's sponsored by local business kalood.com (which if you live in Utah County you should definitely check out by the way). It's going to be an incredible night and we'll be hosting an "Eat with Baldwin Games" fan contest. More details to come

We've also been so excited to have our first honorary Baldwin Jared Meek starting up with us. He's going to fit in really nice. Look for him in upcoming band photos and videos!

We are also looking for people interested in being in some Baldwin Games publicity videos. (That's right, not used to a band doing that are ya?) They're basically just gonna be some funny videos that we can use to help promote Baldwin Games. If you love to act or you love to make movies drop us a line a baldwingames@gmail.com!

Additionally we are starting to decide on band merchandise. We are going to do T-shirts and ring tones and all that typical stuff, but we want your input (blog reader exclusive question here) on some really cool unique item that would just be awesome to have the Baldwin Games shield on it. It could be like a cell phone cover, a hat, a pillow case.... you name it, but we want some cool suggestions. Lets see who has the best one.

Another thing. For anyone who wants to be on our street team we are welcoming people with open arms! (street teams will help us get our name and music out) Clearly street team members will be given some special privileges. email us if you're interested!

I think that's it for this week!
Fun fact of the day: The first idea for the band name was This Is Baldwin, which we got after watching that famous scene from 300. It didn't stick because it's just kind of awkward to shout at concerts.... although we wouldn't mind if you ever did.
