Happy Halloween!
We are pleased to announce that we have a winner for "Name the new
Album" Contest! We had thousands of names to choose
from, but only the best bled through. To be fair, we had
several people submit this same winning title, so we took the person who
submitted it first. Alright then! Drum roll,
please. The new name for the next Calabrese CD is…..wait
for it…..wait for it…
"Calabrese III - They Call Us Death,"
submitted by Bianca Vargas!
I know it's a total let down, and the name you submitted was way better,
but like we said...it was a hard choice. Thanks to everybody who
participated in the contest and, once again, doing all our work for us!
See you at the Halloween show!
HALLOWEEN NIGHT!
Exclusively for this Halloween show, we'll be giving out a free limited
edition poster of the Halloween flyer, never to be printed again, to the
first 100 people who come up to the Calabrese merch table and speaks the
esoteric phrase -- CALABRESE OWNS MY SOUL!
So write it down, remember it, tattoo it to your forehead, do what you
gotta do...this is gonna be one Hell of a night! Be sure to
have us sign it for you, too!

Wolf!
Lock up your girlfriends and blindfold your children, a NEW Calabrese
shirt is now on sale! The new Blood of the Wolf t-shirt is so bad-ass it
will literally FIGHT YOU when you try and put it on. And don't even
think about wearing this bad mother during a full moon!
Davey Drum Stick Deal!
For the month of October 2009, any online order over $20 will receive a
"signed" broken or used drum stick from Davey Calabrese. All year long, Davey has
been collecting these drum sticks and saving them just for you. Why does
he have so my broken drum sticks? Could it be a lack of self control
behind the drums? A mental disorder that causes him to destroy? Only his
therapist knows for sure!

Calabrese Comic Book!
The Calabrese comic book is starting to take form. The script
has been approved and the pencils are starting. We decided to
go legit on this comic and make it a full color rcok and roll explosion.
We tricked…I mean, we secured D.W. Frydendall (http://www.dfrydendall.net/
) to do the coloring on this comic (you might recognize his art from
some of our t-shirts) Because of this, the street date has
been pushed back to January 2009.
BLOG Update!
The Creative Mind Of Brian Pulido - Part 1 . Origins
I met with Brian
at a Borders bookstore here in
Arizona
, the same one where we first met to discuss theVoices of the Dead music video he directed. I brought my trusty
hand held recorder, and a few pages of questions with the intent to dig
deeper into the creative force that is Brian
Pulido. Not only is Brian a writer, director, producer, and comic
creator (Lady
Death,
Evil Ernie) but has a positive “can do†attitude, and
entrepreneurial spirit that I admire. His current movie project, The
Graves, that he wrote and directed (and features Calabrese), has
been added to the After
Dark Horrorfest – 8 Films to Die For. TheAfter
Dark Horrorfest runs for one week in theatres across the
United States
from January 29 – February 5, making it the largest nationwide film
festival. Be sure to check it out. Now on with the interview!
For the whole month of August, any order over $20 will receive a signed
promo photo from the band. Are we trying to get rid of our
old promo photos before we get the new ones? Never!

New CD Update and Contest!
The release date for the new CD had been pushed back to January, 2010
(it just happens to be the end of the world!) In addition, we
tricked Eric Powell (The Goon) into creating the artwork for the album
cover. Do you still question our voodoo mind control power?

edition cards (15 in a pack) to give away for a kick-ass Calabrese

thought he actually killed someone!

the "The Graves" is now on youtube! Check it out and leave us
a comment.
Also, we are now officially
one of the pack, and have decided to twitter our lives away and right into
Hell! C'mon, with 1 million Twitter users, how can you go possibly go
wrong? Might be fun...might suck! If you're into it...read it while it's
hot!
Be one of the first to see the THE GRAVES/Calabrese horror music video
on Fangoria.com! It's an exclusive first look at the video featuring
Calabrese performing the song, “Vampires Don’t Exist,†and clips
from the horror flick, THE GRAVES!
With studio time for the new album fast approaching, we thought now

a limited time, we're offering the Calabrese Double Feature! "13
Halloweens" and "The Traveling Vampire Show" for only
$15.99! (Limit 3 per order!)

We tried to wait 'til the next CD (honestly, we did!)
but we just can't help ourselves. We now have a NEW t-shirt
- The Vampires Severed Head! OK, so it's not really
"new." In fact, it's the same design on the
zip-up hoodie, but we figured that since you all destroyed the Earth
with your global warming, it's too hot to wear anything other than a
t-shirt!

Blog Update: Eric Powell Interview Part 2.
The Goon -10 Years Of Punching Zombies
Jimmy - You state your turning point was the 2001 Wizard World
convention in Chicago?
Eric – Yeah [Laughs] it was pretty pathetic. I bought a table for about
one hundred bucks, I had been drawing some Buffy comics for Dark Horse but
that stuff dried up. I was doing some inking work for Marvel and all that
work dried up. So I didn’t have any work coming in. I had this Artist
Alley table at the convention and I only did one sketch for twenty bucks
so it didn’t even pay for the table. I drove out there by myself and I
drove back all pissed off. It was a point where I thought “is this going
to work or should I quite?†It was a six or seven hour drive and I had
the whole time to think about it. It was pretty sad but I realized I was
never able to do what I wanted to do. So I decided to self publish my book
to see what happens.
Don't ever say we haven't done anything for you!
Introducing..."The Calabrese Coffin Deal!" This deal is so
insane it will make you kill yourself!

Blog Update: Eric Powell Interview
Part 1.
I sat down with my cell
phone on speaker and RCA handheld recorder and made a call to Tennessee to
speak with the demented pencil pusher himself, Eric Powell, the creator of
“The Goon I walked away with a $30 long distance bill and a crap
load of tape to transcribe. I bring you the first installment of what I
like to call The Eric Powell Interview. The Goon - 10 Years Of Zombie
Punching.
