Recording Update

It's been a couple months since the band entered Dogbite studios, and we're happy to say that we're moving on to mixing the album. The recording already sounds great, and we can't wait to get it out there and into your ears.

Right now, we're aiming for a spring-time release. Don't worry, we'll definitely plan a release party at one of the best venues in St. Louis.

Until then, we've got a show or two left for 2008, so come out and catch us if you can. See ya's soon!

B&E Heading Into The Studio

As you may have noticed, we're taking a short break from live shows. That's because we're headed into Dogbite Studios to being recording our new album!
Edwardsville legend Rick Harmon's going to be recording and producing us (he's the man behind Left Arm's rocking album "Dissatisoul").

We're laying down our first tracks in mid-August and the band's really excited to get the project going and the music out.

On top of nine brand new songs, we're recording three of our old favorites that we recorded acoustically as just a duo/trio in '06.

You can get a taste of what the sound will be like on our myspace--it's four songs recorded live in our practice space.

We'll keep ya posted and see ya soon!

B&E Survives First Cut

So a month or two ago we submitted our myspace for an opportunity to open for Bumblefoot (Ron Thal) and friends at the Rock Against Diabetes show in Vegas. After forgetting about it, we just were notified that we made the judge's top 45! They'll narrow it down to the top 10 soon and you can help us out by voting. Until then, let us bask in the glory of the Top 45...

Proof of our top 45 placement...

New EP 'Pop Rox' Is Here!

bande_ep_final_front


We're excited to announce that our EP, 'Pop Rox' has finally been finished and it's ready for your ears.

It's got four rock n' roll tracks that we recorded live in a basement back in March. It was also Johnny Castle's last day as a member of B&E...so it's kinda sentimental to us lot.

Rick Harmon at Dogbite Studios in Edwardsville, Illinois did the recording and mixing. Benjamin Franklin did the killer design.

If you want a copy, just ask. We'll have them available super cheap, like $1 or $2, at shows and we can always ship one to you.

See ya soon,
B&E

Live On The Air & EP Release...

Couple cool things going on w/ B&E.

First, we'll be live on iChannel.fm Thursday night, May 22.
We'll be playing a few songs acoustically and talking to the DJ. Tune in, call in and all that good stuff.

Plus, they've put up three of our newest recordings from our soon-to-be-out there EP. So head over there and request some B&E! The address is www.ichannel.fm.

Speaking of new recordings, we've got that four-song EP almost ready to go. Once the design is done, we'll have it at shows for real cheap. Or just ask for us a copy. It's a good taste of what's to come on our upcoming full-length album we're recording later this year.

And check out our myspace to keep up w/ our upcoming show dates. (www.myspace.com/bandelive)
