Hello dear Interwebs and fans of YBH,

This song was written for director Joe Lynch’s film, Zom-B Movie, just one part of the infamous horror anthology film, CHILLERAMA (which...

USC BATTLE OF THE BANDS
Friends,
there comes a time in every band’s life, that the music goes from art…TO WAR! That is right, its time for a rock and roll battle. Typically, the battle is on stage, but in this case, the battle is virtual. That’s right, this battle takes place online, and only the top 5 bands with the most votes gets to compete in the physical battle of the bands. What is the ultimate payoff you ask?...

THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Aloha Heros and Do-Gooders,
as some of you may already know, The Show Must Go On has come and gone.
This was a concert dedicated to the wonderful memory of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen. It was also an Aids Project Los Angeles fund raiser, and I must confess, it was a fantastic night to remember. For those of you who missed it, here is a small smattering of photos from the evening....

Crossin' that bridge with both feet on fire
Ahoy YBHers,
for those of you who have purchased a physical CD, either at a show or online, you may have noticed a picture lurking beneathe the CD itself. It looks a little something like this:
There are a few things I’d like to specify in reference to this image.
#1. You may notice the sole person occupying this photo is myself, frontman Brendan McCreary. Around the time we were taking...

A Long walk to the beach or A brief 6 hours of zen
Dear Entourage,
Brendan here. Yesterday, I walked somewhere in the ball park of 12 square miles. From Culver City to Playa del Rey. There is a bike path not to far from where I live, and I thought I’d stretch my legs and clear my head before tonight’s Record Release + Debutant ball.
I’ve been stressing out about the show. Trying to get into every last detail, from the...

Debutant VS. Debutante
Ladies and Gentlemen,
For clarification, as I’ve already received several messages detailing that debutant is actually spelled debutante (with an E), which is indeed the case, whilst simultaneously not being the case, I am going to put whatever confusion there may be to bed right now.
CASE 1: DEBUTANTE
This dear readers is a debutante:
as is this:

WatchThis is Mike Choi…a feller I bumped into in JTown on Friday. After I asked him to play the theme from Mega Man 2’s first Wiley stage (which he promptly did without hesitation) I asked him to pump up the Mario Bros. 2 jams. As you can see this guy has this market cornered.
I GOT LOVE
Ladies and Gents!
Our second single is OUT!
This tune has been kicking around our live set for some time and is the baby brother of a little song called Lets Get Hitched (for those of you who can remember back that far). I chose this tune as our 2nd single not only because it kicks all kinds of ass, but because of its stark contrast to Light Years. Young Beautiful in a Hurry is a versatile...

LIGHT YEARS Lyrics
Guys and Dolls,
On April 8th we will be releasing our 2nd single into the universe. Its called I Got Love, and if you haven’t heard it yet, you haven’t been to a show. But there already is a single online for you to peruse and it is called Light Years. I thought I’d share the lyrics with you all. Enjoy!
