EP3?
EP3 Now In The Works! The boys from Earthtone are working hard at getting together another EP for all the fans. Each album coming out better than the last. This one now featuring their new drummer Taylor Gross who is fitting nicely with the band’s folk/rock/reggae roots.
Earthtone
TourDates Chart in the UK
we have been in the chart for 8 weeks now! as high as number 20
If you are an avid earthtone fan you will have probably heard that we are hanging in on the UK charts for indie artists with Break the Ice. We need anyone who has a chance to head over to tourdates.co.uk/earthtone to listen and rate our song, and then tell your friends about it.
This could be great for the band over seas and help us build up that bulk fan-base that we seem to lack here in canada. We are also looking for anyone who might have photos of our band performing live or video would be even better.
We have had a few people request joining our online street team but we have not had enough response to start an email list or campaign yet. We have three shows booked for the end of January and into 2010 but we need fans to come out. WE have been quiet lately working on writing and recording some new material. IF you wanna hear our latest song that has been completed (Just Wave) come out to Lees palace thursday January 28th for 10:30 pm we will be rocking plenty of ET classics along with some new NEW material.
Shout us an email if there is anything interesting you would like to see from the band. And check out our other social networking sites that are on the right hand side of the home page here on the blog site!
Much love,
ET
Sorry about the Vacancy
For the last while we have been very busy working with our new drummer, and perfecting some of the live vocal harmonies some of you may have heard recently. Along with all that comes the writing of new material, recording of finished material, and obviously we were consumed with 4therekord and the competition.
4therekord Update: The competition has been completed! But, unfortunately some of the bands in the top ten were somehow obtaining fraudulent votes online. That being noticed, Joel Kazmi decided to recount all the votes online give the band with the most legitimate votes, combined with the scores of the judges that night the winning prize. EARTHTONE IS STILL IN THE MIX, there will be a blog posted next week when the results are in! ALSO, in January 2010 we will be performing one more time with the top ten bands in a $10,000 showdown. ALL CASH, BIGGEST CROWD, BEST CROWD RESPONSE, come out and help us win the BIG MONEY!!!!
We will be working to update this blog as much as possible, please stay tuned for blog posts from all the band members on a frequent basis. Don’t forget to get your free downloads while you can @ www.myspace.com/earthtonespace.
Much love

Since August 1st when we signed up for this, everyone in the competition was @ zero. Only because of great fans and dedicated promotion are on the top of the list right now. If you have already placed your vote on this website, we encourage you to tell your parents friends and post it all over your facebook and myspace! We have put a few small promo videos up that are just to help spread the word, so if you head to our YOUTUBE page then, you can share our videos on your facebook and many people will heard about the competition and help us out! The more people you can help us get to vote for earthtone, the better the chances are that we will win! We plan to play one more show for this preliminary competition. Many bands will be getting large amounts of votes when they have theirs shows, and could surpass us! SO WE NEED MORE VOTES ALTHOUGH WE ARE IN FIRST IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW!
LASTLY! OCTOBER 24th 2009 book it off work, and get a ticket from us, we need as many people as possible out to this final show its our last push to get first place in all of the voting! Please come out!! this is the only show that ever mattered to our band!
Jay-Z DOA (death of autotune)
Everybody needs to listen to each and every lyric this man is speakin! The master from the last decade has throwin down something that could help all us real musicians, MC’s, DJ’s, artists, producers and engineers! Power to the REAL ones! This is death of autotune, MOMENT OF SILIENCE!
Only rapper to re write history without a pen!
No ID on a track let the story begin!
this anti autotune, death of the ringtone
this ain’t for itunes, this aint for sing-alongs
this is sinatra @ the opera, bring a blonde
preferelby with a fat ass who can sing a song, wrong
this aint politically correct, this might offend my political corrects
my raps dont have melodies,
this should make jackers wan go and commit felonies
get your chain tookin, i may do it myself im so brooklin,
I know we facing a recession,
but the music y’all makin gon make it the great depression
or your lack of agression, pull your skirt back down, throw a set and then
you know its just violent, this death of auto tune, moment of silence
This aint a number one record, this is practically assault with a deadly weapon
i made this just for flex and, just see i want people to feel threatened,
stop your blood clot cryin, the kid, the dog, everybody dyin, no lyin!
you boys jeans to tight, your, colours to bright, your voice to light!
I might whip black 4 years straight, i might bring back versace shades,
This aint for Z 100, yay told me to kill yall, to keep it one hunning!
This is for hot non seven
for cali who we the best in, yeah this just violent, this is death of auto tune moment of silence!
