Lots of stuff going on in Manic Bloomia...
We mentioned a while back that we're working with a new management team, Artist Garden Entertainment. Well, they've been making things happen! Because of it, we're most likely playing at an Earth Day bash in Nashville with a really cool fashion company called Prophetik on April 22. They’ve also been trying to get our music placed in film/tv stuff. I’ll let you know more on that when the time is right.
In case you didn’t hear, we’re nominated for Best New Artist for Nashville’s 2009 Local Buzz Rock Awards (the Buzzies)! There’s an awards show going on this friday at The Rutledge - say hi if you’re there!
We also reached the semi-finals in two Battle of the Bands contests - we’re playing at Hard Rock Cafe in Memphis on 4/17 for one, and at the Rutledge on 5/8 for the SAE Battle of the Bands. (SAE is a sound engineering school in Nashville)
I’ve been working on our website lately - www.manicbloom.com - though not fast enough for my personal taste! We want to give everybody all things MB in one location! For starters, we’re planning on putting up our interview from Sunday on the Local Buzz up later tonight. Yell at us if we haven’t done it…
There’s a possibility that we’re playing at a college in NC this weekend… We’ll post that as soon as we have specifics.
On top of all that, we’re trying to figure out some time to record some of our new songs, as well as finish writing a handful. Hopefully, we’ll have a slew of new tunes to share with you before you know it! (come to a show to hear them before they’re recorded!)
I’m almost positive that I’ve missed something… My ear is swollen if anybody wants to know about that! :)

Wow, you guys have been busy! Congrats on the well-deserved nomination and semi-finals!
I want to hear about this swollen ear too.
Put something about it on ManicBloom.com, or better yet, make a vlog! That last vlog was the highlight of my internet for days!
