NEWS FLASH

Hello All,

You may have visited our site lately and wondered what in the world is going on with The Evening News. Well the answer is: A LOT! Much of this has been top secret but right now we are announcing a big change. Namely (pun intended) our name. The Evening News will be known as something else in a short while—and we want you to be a part of that change.

Why are we changing our name? New members, new songs, and new recordings. The band has been through a lot of different members over two years. Finally the line-up is set and we are ready to do big things. New members means new songs, and we've got loads of new stuff that you have never heard (but will soon). Be sure to keep your eyes open for the film X's and O's as well because we are part of the sound track.  "A Walk Outside" is included in a scene between two of the main characters. Check out their myspace @ www.myspace.com/xothemovie The movie premiers in Los Angeles and San Francisco later this year.

Also we have new management and legal representation based in Los Angeles and New York. With your support we hope for continued growth.

All of this made us decide that we need to pick a name that means something to all of us. Something that represents a change. We picked 3 names and want to hear what you think of them. Click on the one you like, leave us a comment with your thoughts, or drop us a message. Heck, feel free to even make suggestions. At the end of 3 weeks of voting, we will announce the new name and post some new recordings.

The new recordings we've done so far are killer. They were recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Mikal Blue at Revolver Studios in Westlake Village (a suburb of Los Angeles). To familiarize you with some of Mikal's other work there is a nifty list in bullet form below:

-Colbie Caillat's (www.myspace.com/colbiecaillat) Coco is the most recent album produced by Mikal. It was the 1 album on iTunes and hit 5 on Billboard's top 200 albums.

-Augustana (www.myspace.com/augustana) Mikal recorded the demo of "Boston" that got the band signed to Epic Records

He has also worked with:
-Five for Fighting (www.myspace.com/fiveforfighting)
-One Republic (www.myspace.com/onerepublic)
-Gary Jules (www.myspace.com/garyjules
-The Offspring (www.myspace.com/theoffspring)

So far we've recorded 3 songs and we're preparing to do more. When the voting is finished, we will announce the new name and release 2 of these songs for you to hear exclusively on our myspace.

Please visit the myspace to vote on one of the three new names!
