Special Offer!
We have a special offer just for you! Since we're positively
hell-bent on offering the best bang for your buck, and a solid dose of
random fun, for the month of July (or while supplies last...we only have
a box of 48!) any order over $20 will receive a pack of "Dinosaurs
Attack!" trading cards. These are the original Topps
trading cards released in 1988, and still in the package (I wouldn't
recommend eating the gum).
JULY 2009
Any Order Over $20 Receives A Free Deck Of "Dinosaurs Attack!"
Cards.
(While Supplies Last)
Calabrese Comic!
Calabrese has teamed up with Modern Mythology Press to bring you the
first ever Calabrese Comic! Yep, that's right. We
have a projected, cross-your-fingers street date of October, 2009 to
coincide with the release of the new album, but fate is a fickle
mistress...so be warned!
Here's a taste of things to come!
Calabrese Crime Scene Winners!
Here our the winners of last month's vague art contest. In no particular order:
Danny D.
Rhiannon Faurie
Andrew Snyder
Noah Bailey
Rudey Fascist
Matt Coffin
Psychodavid
DeadinTheUK
Acey Morgue
Betty Bloodshed
They will all receive a set of first edition BODYBAG Trading Cards and
the full collection of Calabrese Stickers.
We made a new friend last month at Texas Fightmare...Troy Holbrook the
creator of BODYBAG Trading Cards! He gave us 10 sets of first
edition cards (15 in a pack) to give away for a kick-ass Calabrese
contest. These are some of the most disturbing, beautiful and
haunting cards you'll ever see! Troy even told us that people
have called the police during one of his photo sessions because they
thought he actually killed someone!
Contest Rules: Send us your BEST Calabrese Crime Scene Art (photos,
drawings, paintings, stories, youtube videos...anything!) to Crime@CalabreseRock.com,
and the top 10 will win a deck of cards and a full collection of
Calabrese stickers. Use your imagination, use black
magic...do whatever you gotta do! Check back next month,
we'll post the winning art on the website!
Also, Germany was amazing. We'd made many new friends and only
broke a few laws! If you took any pictures at the show, please
send them our way, we'd love to post them! Horror@CalabreseRock.com

Your day has come Germany!

The Calabrese video for
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
would be a good time to get the uninitiated caught up with our backlog. For
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.
P.S. We
just booked studio time in July for the 3rd album. Stay tuned for new
artwork, updates and contest details to help us name the new CD!

Last March, we gave away Davey's
drumsticks. It was such a success that Davey has been
saving sticks ever since! We finally have enough used/destroyed sticks
to announce…
All December of 2008, any order over $20 will receive a signed
used/abused drumstick from the drumming animal, Davey Calabrese (while
supplies last). It makes for a great holiday murder weapon! Ideal

Thanks for making our Halloween a
blast! We appreciate everyone coming out to celebrate it with us.
Again, we'd like to thank InkBomb Tattoos and HorrorHound Magazine for
donating giveaways for the show.
Also, we made a mistake and forgot to update the website about the
Indie Music Phoenix premiere. For those who tuned in on
Halloween, we apologize, because the show was switched to Thursday
night, Nov. 6th at midnight on AZTV Cable 13/DTV 7. They
had to move from FOX due to censorship issues!
Keep any eye out for reruns every Thursday night on AZTV if you missed
it. Also, Indie Music Phoenix was at the Halloween show and
did a quick interview with Bobby and Jimmy, stay tuned to future shows
for that!
10/01/08
For those in Phoenix tune into
Fox10 on Halloween night for the premier of "Indie Music
Phoenix". Our
video "Voices Of The Dead" will be kicking off the show as
the "Artist Of The Week"!
For
the whole month of October, any order over $20 will receive a free,
signed "LoveCraft Poster!" This is only while supplies last, so order
now! Once these posters are gone, they'll be out of print forever!
HALLOWEEN SHOW 2008!
Come join us this Halloween night at the Phix in Phoenix, Arizona!
We've created a line up to please even the most jaded fan! Featuring direct
from Canada, for the first time in Arizona..."Nim Vind" and "The
Vincent Black Shadow"! Also destroying the stage, "Ends !n Tragedy"
from New Mexico (featuring ex-members of 12 Step Rebels and Viva
Hate!).
Come early to check out all the killer bands this
Halloween! And don't forget, as always, there will be door prizes, a
costume contest and virgin sacrifices!
You
know that old motto, "a watched kettle never boils?" Or, "you can't
take a crap when someone is waiting outside the stall?" That's the case
with ghost hunting. Hunting for ghosts is like searching for "love."
When you're desperately looking, ghosts and love will always evade you.
Ghostly love is even harder to find! I've told this story before in an
interview but since it's October I thought I'd share it again. Here's
my ghost story! READ MORE!
Death and Creativity Winners!
Last
month we announced a contest we called "Death and Creativity". We asked

the 3 top winners are Rob Meyer, Fancy Me Mad and Copycat. Congrats!
And as
promised, we'll be sending you your CURSED Death Pendant. You'll know
when it has arrived in your mailbox, when your cat dies.

subject of high school student reports, but this is

Our music is featured in another kick-ass, indie horror movie! This
one's a vampire comedy called, "Blood On The Highway." You
Buffy fans will be happy to know that your favorite smart ass side
kick, Xander, stars in this flick, otherwise known as Nicholas Brendon.
By the way, "Blood On The Highway" just won the "Best
Fantastic Movie" award at the Kimera Film Festival in Campobasso,
Italy! We haven't seen the full movie yet, but how can you go wrong
with the tagline, "A sucker born every minute?"
Check out the trailer!
We finally
figured out a way to kill you while you sleep! Just put on your new
Death Pendant, turn on your Calabrese CD, close your eyes and slowly
drift into asleep! The rest will take care of itself. What, too afraid
to try? Then I suggest you wear your pendant only during daylight hours!
Wear this as a classic Pendant or remove it from the chain and use it as a
Keychain, I did!
1" Pewter Pendant, includes jump ring and ball chain (that can be
cut to the length you desire!) $10
We are excited to announce
our new distribution deal with Plastic Head Distribution UK for the
territories of EEC, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand. What this
means to you non-North Americans is that, besides our CD's being in
stores, you'll be seeing us on tour out there! No dates have been booked
yet, but we guarantee you that it's gonna be a killer good time! Stay
tuned!

Well, it's that time again to
visit the "fly over states" in the midwest! I remember
reading some interview of a young Danzig saying how he loved playing
the midwest because how the shows were so brutal. Things haven't
changed much since the 80's!
Also, please help us promote these
shows as much as possible, online and offline!
Here's
a new item to add to your ever growing Calabrese wardrobe! I think
we've got more stuff with our name on it than Nike, and we don’t
even own a sweatshop! YOU may call it a bandana, but we call it the
Calabrese Blood Rag!

of Voodoo!

freaks! Since most of you were blocked by the "religious
right" conspiracy from purchasing our exclusive Hot Topic Zombie

Jamie from Colorado sent us this email...
"Heya Calabrese, I have a totally weird story to tell you ! I was
listening to your CD (TTVS) late last nite and I had the strangest
urge to put my hand on the speaker of my stereo?! As soon as I put my
hand on the speaker, the candles in my room blew out! I didn't think
much of it until I tried it again, after I re-lit the candles. Third
times a charm right ;) so I did again to prove to myself that I was
not going crazy.... But this time when the candles blew out I just sat
in the dark and left my hand on the speaker. I forget which song was
playing but it was one of your really creepy ones. I felt the
vibrations traveling through my hand all the way up my arm. As the
music changed so did the vibrations. My heart started beating faster
in response to the music and I saw a blue light form in the middle of
my pitch black room. I can't really describe what I saw next but I
swear it was a person within that blue light trying to get my
attention. Before I had the chance to communicate with the entity my
door swung open. It was my Mom half asleep and upset. She said I was
screaming and she thought someone was attacking me! I'm curious to
hear if anyone else has had this kind of experience and if you planned
something like this to happen? I know you guys joke around about this
kinda thing but come on, what gives?"
Well, Jamie, first we would like to suggest that you stay on your
medications, you might even want to up the dosage! Secondly, we'd like
to remind you, and everyone else who listens to our music, that our
lawyers have assured us that any supernatural or paranormal activity
that may occur while listening to Calabrese music is in no way
affiliated with Calabrese or Spookshow Records. Further more,
Calabrese and Spookshow Records are not liable for any physical damage
or mental health issues that occur during or after listening to said
music. Thanks for the email, keep 'em coming!
