11-29-2009: Free Ten Year Vamp Song From Microsoft… Plus Other Good News!

Yup… This week, beginning 11-30-2009 at 11am, for one week only, Microsoft will be giving away free downloads of our song Another Try. We’re not sure how it works, but it’s supposedly part of a new way to experience music with Windows 7 called Playlist 7. If anyone has Windows 7 and can find our song for download, please email us and let us know! (The song is only available for 1 week… after 8 weeks, the bands with the top downloads will become a Microsoft Featured Artist!)

In other good news, instrumental versions of our songs, Never Know, One Night Ticket, and Rockstar we’re sent to a major cable network to be used in their programming! AND the regular version of Never Know has been picked up by MTV for use in their programming. That’s all we know about these right now… we’ll keep you posted if and when we find out more!

Debbie 11-25-2009: How bout dem Giants?

So it's Thanksgiving already. Tonight is our 500th show. Man...that's crazy. This is like the roughest night ever for me. I always go down to my mom's for Thanksgiving (down in NYC)... and the festivities always start at 10am. That means I have to leave Albany around 8am. So...given the fact that it takes me a good hour to get ready in the morning, I have to be up by 7am. That SUCKS...because I won't even be home from tonight's show until around 4am...so we're talking like 3 hours sleep.
But...none the less...I'm looking forward to it.

I hope everyone joins me in putting any thoughts of diets out the window, and just eating until your little hearts are content tomorrow. Any Giants fans out there ? Hopefully we'll squeeze out another win this week.

Also....for anyone who likes to tan (in the Albany area)....there's a GREAT tanning salon over in Troy called Rosie's Tanzmania. I'm not into tanning because of the whole cancer thing and the fact that it gives you wrinkles....BUT...they just got this great spray tan thing. I was totally not into spray tanning and I thought it would make me look orange... BUT!!!...to my suprise I got perfect color. It looks like I just got back from vacation. It was easy, my tan looks great, and you'd never know it was a spray tan. Anyone interested in getting a tan (without exposing themselves to the tanning rays) should DEFINETLEY check out Tanzmania over in Troy. Also, if you bring in a few cans, they'll give you $15 off your tanning purchase (Cans for Tans).

11-23-2009: More Good News For Us This Past Week!

Don't forget this Wednesday night is our 6th annual 'Homecoming' show at the Bayou Cafe in Albany. A great night where everyone from over the years stops in to hang out and say hi. If you're thinking about coming, please come out early so you don't get stuck in line. And for anyone who wants to come out early and wear a Ten Year Vamp t-shirt, we're buying the beer! (Yes, you can buy a shirt when you get there). The party starts sometime around 8pm and the beer offer is good until we hit the stage or kill the keg. This show will also be our 500th show!!! so please come out and celebrate with us!

D - 11/20/2009 - Goodbye Sweet Sweets....

So we've already begun talks of our next music video. We were talking to Platform 1 Entertainment and they're interested in helping us with promotions for it. (Check out Platform 1's artist roster here.... http://platform-1.com/mm_artist_roster.php ). Killer roster!! Needless to say, we're psyched about it.
BUT!!!... the song we're using for the video is "Pleasures (that I Call Mine)". If you haven't heard it...it's about female sexuality. (go here to download it... http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/pleasures-that-i-call-mine/id334147222?i=334147344 ). Needless to say, this video is gonna be SEXY as hell. What that means for me is say goodbye to the sweets and fatty foods and time to tone up. So...from now until video production (which probably won't be for another 2 months or so), I'm watching what I eat and putting my treadmill to good use. This video is gonna be HOT.

D - 11/4/09 - the cold dark nites are upon us....

So Halloween was fun. Our good friends Muffy and Mamie managed to disappear AGAIN this year. They drive down to see us from Plattsburgh every Halloween...and every Halloween I look up halfway through our first set and they're both no where to be seen. This year, they got kicked out. Nice job ladies : ) Next year, we're gonna stick you at a table and you're not allowed to move. Lol. So...lots of great announcements coming up. A Blood Lust Ball (on Friday the 13th of Nov) to kick off the New Moon Premiere. There will be a private screening on the Thursday it opens at Midnight. The first 92 people at our show will get tickets to the premiere screening. The Blood Lust ball will be at Envy in Albany. Vampire costumes are encouraged. Also...another major concert announcement coming your way soon which will include 10YV. Listen to FLY 92.3 for the announcement over the next few days.
