			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Flutterbies fans, welcome to our August newsletter&#8230; Keywords this month: Come Alive, Cartoon Network, and Cats!</p>
<p><strong>Come Alive</strong></p>
<p>We have a new single for you this month, and it&#8217;s debuting with a bang! Our track &quot;Come Alive&quot; will be featured on the Adult Swim/Cartoon Network show <em>Children&#8217;s Hospital</em> August 11 at midnight (so that&#8217;s actually August 12, technically). They&#8217;ve taken our sweet romantic ballad and made it extremely funny, and we love that&hellip; The show boasts an ensemble cast with serious star power: Rob Corddry, Megan Mullally, Henry Winkler, and Erinn Hayes. Flashback: Maureen shared an early career dressing room with Erinn at Disneyland. Erinn was there for sketch comedy, and Maureen was making music. </p>
<p>We couldn&#8217;t be more thrilled to be checked into Children&#8217;s Hospital!</p>
<p>&quot;Come Alive&quot; is the first song Maureen and co-conspirator Adam Daniel wrote for The Flutterbies. An alt-country duet about the thrill ride of falling in love, the track has been a live favorite for some time now, and was even performed at a fan&#8217;s wedding! It&#8217;s available now at iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, etc. Click the cover art below for a streaming sample and direct links to purchase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://theflutterbies.com/music/come-alive-duet-with-adam-daniel/" target="_blank"><img src="/images/the-flutterbies-come-alive.jpg" alt="Come Alive (duet with Adam Daniel)" width="200" height="200"></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Cats for Cats</strong></p>
<p>Also this month, Flutterby Maureen will appear in the concert <em>Cats for Cats</em> Saturday August 6 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Another impressive cast here includes Fred Willard, Mindy Sterling (from <em>Austin Powers</em> and The Flutterbies &quot;How I Get Over you&quot; music video), Jean Louisa Kelly (from <em>Yes Dear</em> and also another of Maureen&#8217;s early career compatriots, from <em>Into the Woods</em> on Broadway), Mandy Moore and this year&#8217;s <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em> finalists! All proceeds benefit Kitty Bungalow, a local nonprofit saving stray cats and kittens. Click <a href="http://www.kittybungalow.org" target="_blank">here</a> for tickets, and use the promo code &quot;friends&quot; and get 50% off!</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy the new single! See ya next month&#8230;</p>
<p>xo<br />

<p>Finally, we&#8217;d like to salute actress Betty Garrett, with whom Maureen studied voice/acting at Los Angeles&#8217; Theatre West. Aside from numerous films and Broadway shows, you know Betty best from <em>Laverne and Shirley</em> and <em>All In the Family</em>. She directed Maureen in &quot;Spoon River Anthology&quot; (with Lee Meriwether, Bridget Hanley and Jim Beaver). Betty passed away February 12, 2011. We will miss her so very much.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, y&#8217;all&#8230; Hope you&#8217;re having a groovy summer! We have some gig news to share with you, both past and upcoming.</p>
<p><strong>Home Wreckers</strong></p>
<p>We had a wonderful evening last month in Laguna Beach, playing a house concert for one of our loyal fans who helped fund our East Coast tour in May. The sponsorship package he purchased included a live appearance, so we played an acoustic set and then took requests from his 1980&#8242;s metal loving friends. Who knew you could rock Rush on a baby grand piano? Hope we didn&#8217;t break anything&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Two Worlds One</strong></p>
<p>You know those angelic harmonies on &quot;Hummingbird Heart&quot; and funky Motown backups on &quot;Kill Him With Kisses?&quot; They were performed on our CD by our good friend Molly Pasutti. Her new band Two Worlds One is playing one of our favorite venues, Kulak&#8217;s Woodshed, Saturday night July 24 at 8:00 PM. We&#8217;ll be there and wanted to turn you on to what&#8217;s sure to be a great evening of music. Come on down! Full information is <a href="http://kulakswoodshed.com/calendar" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Grand Theft Audio</strong></p>
<p>Finally, come out in August for a unique Flutterbies show! Carl Kozlowski, winner of the  Laugh Factory&#8217;s &quot;America&#8217;s Funniest Reporter&quot; contest, invited us to be house band for the first anniversary show of Grand Theft Audio&#8212;a hilarious fusion of music and comedy.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s details:</p>
<p>The Flutterbies full-band electric!<br />
        Tuesday August 3 at Busby&#8217;s East<br />
        Wilshire &amp; LaBrea in Hollywood, CA<br />
        Comedy show starts at 7:30 PM, followed by a smokin&#8217; set by The Flutterbies at 9:30 PM</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a flyer:</p>

Our Cooldog East Coast Tour was a hoot and a holler <img src='http://theflutterbies.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   We&#8217;re editing videos and live audio for your enjoyment and a collectible CD.  We will have links at <a href="http://theflutterbies.com">www.theflutterbies.com</a> very soon….</p>
<p>GIGS:</p>
<p>TUESDAY JUNE 15TH &#8211; 9:15PM<br />
      THE STRONGHOLD</p>
<p>1623 Abbott Kinney Blvd &#8211; Full band electric set with Maureen Davis, Adam Daniel, Christopher Allis, Steve Whalen and special guest Marty Rifkin on pedal steel<br />
        We&#8217;ll be opening for the incredible Chris Joyner (a sometimes Flutterby as well!)<br />
      Full gig info is always posted and current at our website&#8217;s <a href="http://theflutterbies.com/shows">Shows</a> page.</p>
<p>HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE COOLDOG TOUR:</p>
<p>National Underground in NYC &#8212; we bookended our tour with 2 performances at Gavin Degraw&#8217;s main room on Houston Street in the infamous East Village.  The first night our pal Heidi brought the cast of Broadway&#8217;s &#8220;Mama Mia&#8221;!  The last night, we took the Double Happiness bus (that just sounds nasty) from Delaware to NYC, Oliva Restaurant manager Ramon gave me homemade Mama Juana (rum &#038; honey) to warm my voice and we closed out our tour with college buddies in tow. I ended up roaming the East Village until 3AM,  got stuck in Tomkins Square Park and had to hop a five foot fence in dress/cowboy boots.  Yeah &#8212; I&#8217;m badass.  Hee.</p>
<p>The Delaware Friends of Folk Memorial Singer Songwriter Circle &#8211; Dover, DE &#8212; glorious chapel benefit concert at Wesely College &#8211; stained glass and vaulted ceilings carried the sound up and away&#8230; Adam played killed on a solo of &#8220;hallelujah&#8221; on grand piano &#8212; it was a church, right?</p>
<p>Cooldog Concert &#8211; Smyrna, DE &#8212; the gig that inspired the tour!  Paul Gumerman booked us at Cooldog and hooked us up with Helen Downing from Group E who planned the rest of the tour. Dan Navarro was in town, so we invited him to play too!  SRO house, killer BBQ, Nothin&#8217; But Trouble Band backing us and those awesome dancing dogs &#8212; not to mention a duet w/Dan Navarro on &#8220;We Belong&#8221;. Who could ask for more?  You can buy a live concert CD of both our sets for $20 by writing <a href="mailto:maureen@theflutterbies.com">maureen@theflutterbies.com</a></p>

<p>PRESS:</p>
<p>Ol&#8217; Skool Rods, May 2010 lauds&nbsp;&#8221;&#8230;It is true what they say about lead singer Maureen Davis&rsquo; voice &mdash; smooth as glass and just as sharp&#8230;whose expansive vocal range and oil-well depth truly brings the always thoughtful, often poignant lyrics to a steaming, blistery boil. Davis can belt out a sultry sadness or rage that leaves one&rsquo;s soul black and bluesy&#8230;.&#8221; (By the way, our CD cover artist Jim Owens has a regular feature called &#8220;Rodz Noir&#8221; in this retro mag.&nbsp; Dig it!)</p>
<p>Craig Horleman @ the Deleware State News gave us a great full-page feature writeup! Click <a href="http://delmarvalive.newszap.com/profiles/blogs/best-bet-davis-to-flutter-by?xg_source=facebookshare">here</a> to read it.</p>
<p>See you at Stronghold June 15th!</p>
<p>xo<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, y&#8217;all! Welcome to The Flutterbies March newsletter. Keywords this month: heartache and sex.</p>
<p><strong>Joonbug</strong></p>
<p>This month The Flutterbies are featured at Joonbug, the &#8216;net&#8217;s coolest new nightlife/culture website. Kareem Anderson interviewed Maureen and wrote a stellar review of our EP <em>The Flutterbies featuring Maureen Davis</em>. Here&#8217;s a snippet:</p>
<p><em>&#8230;the Flutterbies sound can best be described as Bonnie Raitt on a blind date with Beck while being served a shot of Southern Comfort by Janis Joplin in a Louisiana juke joint&#8230; When asked about the Flutterbies inspiration, Mo, laughing, searches for the words to describe the bands influence and unique sound. &quot;Heartache and sex&#8230;&quot;</em></p>
<p>The full article is readable online <a href="http://losangeles.joonbug.com/frequency/An-Evening-with-Maureen-Davis-of-the-Flutterbies-Frequency-Los-Angeles/r7iXSEe8m86" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p><strong>The Future is Now</strong></p>
<p>From the stranger-than-fiction file&#8230; Rock n&#8217; Roll Psychic Andrew Brewer interviewed Maureen for the website Blog Talk Radio, and the entire conversation is streamable online! Andrew predicted big success for Mo and the band in 2010-11.</p>
<p>Click <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rocknrollpsychic/2010/02/01/maureen-davis" target="_blank">here</a> to hear his full Flutterbies forecast. And stay tuned this year to see which predictions come true&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, y&#8217;all&#8230; Happy Holidays! Welcome to The Flutterbies December newsletter. Keywords this month: Christmas, kudos, and &quot;Come Alive&quot;!</p>
<p><strong>A Holiday Gift For You, From The Flutterbies</strong></p>
<p>We thought and thought&#8230; <em>What can we give our fans for the holidays?</em> And then we had the perfect idea: free music! So from now until New Year&rsquo;s Eve, you can download the first song ever written by The Flutterbies: &quot;Come Alive&quot;. The tune is a sweet acoustic duet between Maureen and Flutterby Adam Daniel, recorded live by Kiyoshi Graves and mixed by Tom Caffey.</p>
<p>Click the single art, below, to download the song (it&#8217;s also posted for download at our <a href="http://www.ilike.com/artist/Maureen+Davis+%26+The+Flutterbies">iLike</a> page). Enjoy!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://c.ilike.com/d/0000/712/0000712735.mp3?fn=Maureen+Davis+&#038;+The+Flutterbies-Come+Alive.mp3"><img src="http://theflutterbies.com/images/come-alive.jpg" alt="Click here to download &quot;Come Alive&quot; by The Flutterbies" width="275" height="275"></a></p>
<p><strong>Year-End Kudos</strong></p>
<p>Each December, in a special year-end issue, Music Connection magazine publishes best-of-the-year lists for both recorded and live music. They say they &quot;carefully skim the cream of the crop,&quot; and&#8230; we rose to the top! The Flutterbies appear on both their <em>Top 25 New Music Critiques</em> and <em>Hot 100 List of Live Unsigned Bands</em> for 2009. The issue, with Sting on the cover, is available at most national booksellers, newsstands, and Guitar Center stores. The top lists are also posted online:</p>

<p><strong>Upcoming Gigs</strong></p>
<p>The Flutterbies are playing NAMM! The annual musical equipment trade show in Anaheim, CA is a hard gig to get, and we got it: We&#8217;re playing the opening night party, and you don&#8217;t need a NAMM badge to attend.  So it&#8217;s a free show in Orange County! Come on down&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>Radio Radio</strong></p>
<p>The Flutterbies continue to widen our international audience&#8230; This month, we&#8217;re on the radio in Canada! Our song &quot;Louder Louder&quot; is featured in a podcast called The Rock and Roll Report that also airs on CKUT FM radio in Montreal. DJ Mark Boudreau gave us this fine, fine introduction:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>This is a great band&#8230; This is a great song, and it just says it all for me.  This is &quot;Louder Louder&quot; by a band called The Flutterbies. And, I mean,  what else can you do with a song called &quot;Louder Louder&quot; than turn it up!  So turn it up&#8230;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Turn it up, indeed! Click <a href="http://rockandrollreport.com/rock-and-roll-report-podcast-57-hey-mom-i-got-the-bomb/">here</a> to stream the podcast. (We&#8217;re on 28 minutes into the show.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, y&#8217;all! Welcome to The Flutterbies November newsletter. Keywords this month: Top 25, birthday, and rearview!</p>
<p>Minds out of the gutter, children&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The Flutterbies Go Top 25</strong></p>
<p>The Flutterbies will be featured in the December issue of Music Connection magazine: we&#8217;re one of their <em>Top 25 New Music Critiques of 2009</em>! Music Connection writes fiercely honest reviews, so we&#8217;re honored and tickled to be on their top list. Special thanks to Editor Mark Nardone for being a fan of the band.</p>
<p><strong>Birthday at the Bistro</strong></p>
<p>We celebrated Maureen&#8217;s birthday November 2nd with a private industry showcase at Ivan Kane&#8217;s Cafe Wa s in Hollywood, CA. The evening was produced by Black Sand Music, who recently signed The Flutterbies for TV, film, advertisement, and video game placement. After an opening set by Shane Alexander, The Flutterbies rocked the bistro&#8230; and then the bistro rocked Maureen: everyone in attendence sang her happy birthday.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s good to be queen.</p>
<p>The Flutterbies would like  to thank everyone who contributed to our spectacular evening: our sound man, Holder; Lana, Ivan, Suzie, and Alex at Cafe Wa s; lovely leather-clad Lynda Kay for her invaluable assistance; our manager, Keith C. Anderson; our licensing agent, Josh Sanderson; and, of course of course, our enthusiastic audience!</p>
<p><strong>Put Another Dime in the Jukebox, Baby, continued</strong></p>
<p>In November you can still catch The Flutterbies&#8217; single &quot;Hummingbird Heart&quot; on your local jukebox! We&#8217;re on the Paste Magazine Emerging Artist Channel on the Ecast Network. Ecast jukeboxes appear in over 10,000 bars, nightclubs, and restaurants throughout the country. You want fries with that?!</p>
<p><strong>Video Killed the Radio Star, continued</strong></p>
<p>The Flutterbies video for our next single &quot;How I Get Over You&quot; is just inches shy of done! A few foley effects and we&#8217;re fully wrapped. Please allow us to tease you with a still from the clip: Maureen in the rearview mirror&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/images/maureen-mirror.jpg" alt="Maureen in the mirror" width="300" height="225"></p>
