Happy new year. Glad we all made it here together. Now what the hell is going on?

Well, it's 2012. And you know what that means: the end of the world. Etc. All good. 

Regardless 2011 was a hell of a year. We performed across the country, did east coast tours with some great people, met thousands of new friends, and crashed out in some good places with cool folks. 

As always thank you for your support. In the past couple months you may have noticed that we took a little time off to get prepared for the new year. Jason learned how to rollerskate, and got fitted for a tuxedo. Max rested his ears and did some folk-rock drumming with Rebeccah Pulley as well as some work with Will Quinlan's Diviners. Shawn wrote a bunch of songs and started the bands the Laurel Canyon with Max and also Florida Kilos with Pryscila and Ryan Blood. 

So January has come, and it's indeed a new year and we are all alive and feeling well. We have a host of new shows for January - Febuary around Florida, at FSU at the flipping Salvador DALI museum back to the legendary Bardot in miami and also a couple awseome brew pub gigs and a opening spot for Thomas Wynn & the Beliver's Album Release Party. Yeah, that Thomas Wynn & Family. Mammoths of southern indie rock is what they are. 

Then upcoming is SXSW... and well... that's going to be interesting... 

As always please Like Us On Facebook  tell us what's going on, what you want, what you need and we will do our best to have a good time along with you. 

Thanks Savannah Georgia & Bill De Young of Connect Savannah

It always feels good to get nice things said about you. Especially when you send out press to everyone before going on tour, and get a particularly nice word. 

There are lots of reasons to recommend this incendiary, ‘70s-inspired rock ‘n' roll band from Florida, from the blinding, Heartbreakers-esque blending of chiming electric 12-string and bat-out-of-hell lead guitar, to singer/songwriter Shawn Kyle's passionate lead vocalizing, to the songs themselves, which manage to be smart and literate while retaining all sorts of memorable hooks. This is a band that leaves fans satisfied and exhausted.

At the 2009 SXSW in Austin Texas, the Beauvilles' showcase went way over capacity, and the local fire marshall was called to bar the doors.

Then, of course, there's the video for the Beauvilles song "Snow," which is beautifully shot and captures the desperate nature of Kyle's lyrics to perfection. The clip, which plays out like a Cold War short film, won Best Music Video 2009 at the Sunscreen Film Festival. It's attached to this story on connectsavannah.com. See thebeauvilles.net.

Right on Bill De Young. Good to see that music journalism isn't dead. 

the Beauvilles set to release new LP

The first of 3 upcoming releases for 2011, the new LP will be available early March right before the band hits the road for tour. This solid banger is being recorded at Red Room, studio of our good friend John Wesley (of the Grammy Award winning band the Porcupine Tree).
