Free Song Download
Monday at noon we’ll be offering a remix of “Find Forever Gone” for free download on MySpace! There are plans to release an album of remixes from “Beautiful Death” next year to be followed by an album of new material. Spread the word about the free download so we can get this to as many folks out there as possible!
Also, check out our photo folder of tour flyers on MySpace. If you post the main tour flyer or the flyer for your hometown as your default pic, message me hear and I’ll add you to our top friends there!
Thanks a lot everyone, looking forward to seeing you all on the road in the coming weeks!
Rockiner!

SIGNED COPIES OF THE STICKS!
There’s good news for those of you who have written me looking for signed copies of my book… They just became available on the Bella Morte online store. The book is doing great, and I’m working on getting a publishing deal for my 2nd one right now… it’s a vampire novel and I can’t wait to get it in your hands.
That’s all for now! Hope to see a lot of you at Dragon*Con next month!!!!!

Troma Films and Dragon*Con
I recently got some very exciting news concerning Dragon*Con… I’m assuming that all Bella Morte fans are familiar with Troma Films. I’ve loved them ever since watching The Toxic Avenger as a kid. If you’re unfamiliar with Troma, immediately CLICK HERE and check ‘em out! Now, to the point… Troma is going to be shooting a Bella Morte video, and the filming starts at our performance at Dragon*Con. So, if you want a cameo in the video, work your way to the front row at the show and you’ll have a damn good shot at making the final cut! Costumes are welcome, and I’m hoping to get the Bella Morte zombie squad (see previous blog entry) in the video as well!
We’ll be going on at 1:30 am on Friday (Saturday morning if you want to get technical), September 4th in the Hyatt’s Centennial Ballroom. Be there and get loud for the Troma film crew!
Also, I got the set time for our “unplugged” performance as well… 5pm on Saturday at the concourse outside the Centennial Ballroom in the Hyatt. I still don’t have info on our panel appearances, but I’m sure I’ll know something in the coming weeks.
See you soon!

1st DragonCon update
Hey everyone, I hope this finds you well! I just got our set time for our performance at DragonCon… We’ll be going on at 1:30 am on Friday (Saturday morning if you want to get technical), September 4th in the Hyatt’s Centennial Ballroom. Those of you who have attended the convention in the past know that’s a prime time slot, so we’re psyched! I’ll let you know as details on our acoustic set and panel appearances are posted, so stay tuned bat-kids!
We’re still adding to the ranks of the undead… looking for DragonCon attendees who want to dress up as zombies and pass out flyers to spread the word about our performance. You’ll get a cool Bella Morte grab bag full of excellent swag for you efforts! Email us at BMZombie@gmail.com if you can help out… and if you already wrote, we’ll be getting in touch with you in the next couple of days with more details.
Until Soon,
Andy
Confirmed for DragonCon 2009
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to DragonCon, but I’m happy to announce that Bella Morte is returning this year. I just got the call about this a couple days ago, so I have a mountain of work to do over the next few weeks to prepare for the event. The past couple of months have found me writing music at a pace I haven’t kept in years, and I’m excited to say that a follow up to Beautiful Death is coming along very nicely.
Last time we performed at DragonCon a fan of the band suggested that we enlist an army of “Bella Morte zombies” to promote our performances at the con, similar to “The Cruxshadows fairies”, but with a greater tendency toward eating brains. So I’d like to know… if you are going to be at DragonCon next month, would you be interested in joining up? It would involve dressing up as a zombie (a sexy zombie if you’re a lady) and passing out flyers, spreading the word, that sort of thing. Maybe work an impromptu zombie parade in there somehow! I think it’d be a load of fun.
I for one am looking very forward to the weekend at D.C. All this hard work has me looking very forward to a fun, stress free weekend in Atlanta… play a couple shows (we’ll be doing an acoustic set along with our regular performance), sign some books, and most of all hang out with you guys. No schedule has been posted yet, but as soon as I know when our performances and panel appearances will take place I’ll pass it on to you.
So, for all you folks who want to be Bella Morte zombies at DragonCon, send an email to BMZombie@gmail.com. Include your real name and cell phone number so we can text you at the Con to organize a time and place to meet.
Can’t wait to see all you crazy bastards next month!
Best,
Andy
Video from book signing
Hey guys, here’s a video from my recent book signing event at Barnes and Noble. The night was a huge success and should mean I’m visiting more B&N locations in the future! The B&N here in Charlottesville, VA still has a limited number of signed copies on hand for sale, and any one of there stores in the USA can order the book for you if it’s out of stock!
Order “The Sticks” from Barnes and Noble!
“The Sticks” is available through Amazon.com as well!
Thanks to everyone who was there, and special thanks to Shawn Decker for shooting the video.
