If you can’t make any of these shows, never despair, more are coming… and you can still listen as we have a new song download for you on our Reverb Nation website!

“Romantic Hippy Gunfighter” from our upcoming CD features Doug Morton on trumpet and is a “surf mariachi masala” music creation sure to make you grin with irony…. Go to www.reverbnation.com/thebeautifullosers/. Don’t wait. Enjoy now!

If you like this preview of “Four Corners Of A Tiny Planet”, we will be uploading one new song per month on Reverb Nation until the CD’s release in July, so take advantage and collect them all... And yes, you read right! We will be giving out the new CD on July 24 at the release party! It’s going to be a great celebration with lots of friends and family right on the S. F. Bay. Until then, look for our monthly newsletters with updates and we'll look forward to seeing you soon!

The Beautiful Losers

And a happy Spring to you all!

Hope your Winters weren't too rough or long.... Raj and I have been good and busy with our work, travel, and family stuff, and now that he is back in the Bay Area from Japan (where he was touring with the Turkey Paradise Orchestra and performing his music from the hit anime show "Golden Eggs"), we are excited to be concentrating on another couple of months of The Beautiful Losers shows and activities!

First, this Friday, 4/10, we're playing at Fourth Street Tavern in San Rafael. It's our Tavern debut, so we're not sure what to expect, EXCEPT we've seen a lot of very lively shows there from the other side of the stage! Hopefully no one will get hurt, but it is 21 and over, so leave the children at home, but do come early. We are only playing one set from 9:30 to 10:30.... We'll have guest musician(s), and our excellent friends and fellow artists The Hold Outs are gonna rock the night away.... Guaranteed fun Friday night!

Also, we are making our debut at Cafe Royale in "the city" on Thursday, 4/23. This is a hip SF neighborhood hangout that hosts a broad spectrum of artists in an intimate atmosphere. The show is from 8 to 9:30 PM, and all ages are welcome. If you live on the southern side of the bridge, be sure to come by, and if you're on the northern side make the trip and get your city vibe.... We'll be trying out some songs from our coming CD, so be ready for a new experience!

In May, we have a couple of engagements including 5/15 at Brazilian restaurant club Senzala in Sunnyvale (this will be a party!), and the annual Salmon Kiss and Release Festival in Tiburon on 5/23. More on these later, but if you have any questions, you can email or give me a call.

In other news, we're also working the open mic circuit including this Thursday at Bazaar Cafe, and some coming up Sleeping Ladys, so if you're on the scene, we hope to run into you soon.... In the meantime, we're moving ahead with plans to release our new CD "Four Corners Of A Tiny Planet" on our own label. Good news is the recording and mastering is finished and sounds AWESOME! Now we're having fun designing the cover and packaging, and planning the release. It's really a privilege to be making something this special, and we know you all are going to love the "final product". Wish us luck, and we thank you for your continued support!

Show details are below.

Peace,
Brett

Dear Friends & Music Lovers,

First, let us invite you all to our "Peace, Love, and Xmas" show at Sweetwater Station in Larkspur, CA on Friday, December 12! This year marks our 3rd annual P,L&X show in the Bay Area, and we'll be playing songs from our upcoming CD release "Four Corners Of A Tiny Planet" as well as favorites from our "Peace, Love & Xmas" and our 2004 eponymous CDs. We have an outstanding rhythm section in Kyle Caprista on drums and Angeline Saris on bass, and they bring a powerful groove to the tunes. Also, we have a special treat with singer/songstress Kate Gaffney opening the show with solo acoustic at 8 PM. (Check her and her impressive new CD out at www.kategaffney.com). All ages are welcome and dinner is served, so bring the family, invite your friends and come celebrate the holiday season with The Beautiful Losers =)

If you're not in the Bay Area or can't make the show, you can still enjoy some TBL holiday spirit with iTunes downloads from our "Peace, Love & Xmas" CD or just by watching our video "She's Coming Home For Xmas" on youtube! We'd love to hear from you all anyway, so drop us a line and let us know how your year has been.

Our year has been very busy and productive, the best news being that we have finally finished recording and mixing our new CD! This has been a gigantic effort for us spanning almost three years of tenacious endeavor, but we are very pleased and feel we have a world-class work to offer as a result. Look for a Spring release (the CD still has to be mastered and packaged), and for a preview check out the promotion video for our lead song "Here In Our Dreams".

In other news, San Francisco radio station KFOG is continuing to support us and is keeping our song "Strange" in rotation. Last year they also played our song "Every Day Is Xmas Eve" over the holidays, so when you're feeling jolly and listening to the radio be sure to call KFOG or go to www.kfog.com and request some Beautiful Losers Xmas music!

That's the news for now.... Thanks you all for your support! We wish you all the happiest holidays ever and we look forwad to seeing many of you soon and hearing from you too!

Brett & Raj

Hey All!

Hope your summers are going great! We've got a lot to tell you....

First a reminder and some info about our show/party this Saturday at the Presidio Yacht Club. The venue is in Fort Baker on the north side of the Golden Gate bridge. Coming from Marin, we suggest you take the last exit off 101 before the GG bridge (from the city take the first exit after crossing the bridge) As you head toward Sausalito, take your first left and a quick right before the one-lane tunnel. We'll put out signs and balloons to help you find the way =)

And now some more big news.... Thanks to the good people at KFOG, we've added one more show to our "San Francisco Summer of Love". And what a show it is! On Sunday, August 31 we will open for The Indigo Girls and Matt Nathanson at the Art & Soul Festival in Oakland! Our set is on the Art & Soul stage from 1 to 2 PM.

Check out a video of us playing "Strange" at I.P.O. here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd6T5bIR-So.

Proceeds go to music education programs for schools. So get it and listen to KFOG! And thanks for letting us know when you hear us on the radio =)

Guess that's all for now, we look forward to seeing you soon!

Check out some photos here: http://picasaweb.google.com/odettemboyd/TBLSummerOfLoveSweetwaterStation.

We are definitely enjoying our summer of love, but we are also very busy getting ready for our next event at the Presidio Yacht Club on August 23rd. If you haven't been there before, the Presidio Yacht Club is in Fort Baker by the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. The views are incredible, and the venue is totally funky and cool. Put the date on your calendars as this is going to be a very, very fun party. Details are below...

In other news, we have been making great progress on our new CD and are mixing it now with Randy Rood, as we did with our first CD.... and the songs are sounding awesome!

Dear TBL Friends,

Thank you all for your response to our email asking you to make requests for The Beautiful Losers on radio station KFOG..... They got the message and are now considering our songs for regular rotation!

In the meantime, however, we are asking that you put a pause on contacting KFOG and asking them to play our music. It seems they have received a large number of requests for TBL, and they need a break while their Music Director checks us out!

This is great news! You all have gotten us noticed by a major market radio station, and now The Beautiful Losers have a chance to be heard by millions of music lovers in the Bay Area.... and beyond! Nonetheless, we must be patient, so please keep listening to The Beautiful Losers and KFOG, and we'll let you know how are campaign is progressing and what you can do to help =)

All the best to you, and we hope to see and play for you soon!

Brett & Raj

Dear TBL Friends,

We hope the solstice season has been treating you all well, and you are looking forward to moving the calendar into 2008!

The season was terrific for us, and we were happy to play a sold-out show at The Belrose Theatre in San Rafael where there were a lot of familiar faces as well as some new ones in the audience... and a good time was head by all!

A big thanks to Daniel and Erma, the Murphy Productions team who made the event possible, and to all of you who came to the show and supported us by spreading the word. That was awesome! You can see some cool pics taken by Bill Anderson Jr. at the event here: http://picasaweb.google.com/willardand/BeautifulLosers

It was a big week for us as we were interviewed by Paul Liberatore for the Marin IJ, and our pictures ended up on the front page of Friday's (12/21) paper, and the story made the front page of the Lifestyles section. In addition, we were chosen for the Best Bets section of Thursday's IJ and had a quarter-page picture in the Pacific Sun! Check out the Paul Liberatore story here:
http://www.marinij.com//ci_7774667?IADID=Search-www.marinij.com-www.marinij.com

And if all that isn't enough, we heard our song "Every Day Is Xmas Eve" playing on the radio when we were driving on Xmas day! That was a big surprise for us, but It turns out some of the DJs at KFOG like our CDs and, and if you go to KFOG's website and make an equest for The Beautiful Losers, they will play our songs on the radio! Pleeeease make an equest for your favorite Beautiful Losers song right here:
http://kfog.com/music/eRequest.asp

In other news, we shot a video with Joselito Sering for a new song, "Here In Our Dreams", and we are planning for a Spring or Summer release of our new CD "Four Corners Of A Tiny Planet" with a release and shows in Japan. In any case, look for a gathering in the S. F. Bay Area when "night and day will be of nearly the same length"... Thanks for your support, and we hope to see you all soon!

Well the weeks are rolling by, and we are well into February, and plans for our new CD are really starting to take shape!

Raj is now back in Tokyo arranging and recording drum tracks with our beloved rhythm machine, Andy Matsukami, and I also heard a rumor that the inimitable Mr. Lenzie Crosby may be joining us for a few tracks on bass.

I am still in the S.F. Bay Area and have been enjoying a week of sunny, summer-like days while working on pre-production and setting up a studio where we will record guitars and other instruments when Raj comes here next month.

We haven’t decided on all of the titles for the CD yet, but there will be a number of brand new songs as well as a few from our back catalogue. As always, it’s an intense and exciting process!

In other news, we are very happy to say that Amnesty International Japan have again asked us to collaborate with them on an event to be held this May, and it will feature live performances by The Beautiful Losers and more great artists (TBA). Stay tuned for developments.

That’s the news for now, drop us a line any time if you have a question or just want to say “hi”!

-Brett

Happy New Year to all you Beautiful Losers out there! Well, it's 2006 now, and we're looking forward to another great year of good music and good times. But first, here is last year in review....

2005 was big for us with many milestones, starting with our debut performance in Raj's own "Great White North" at Canadian Music Week in Toronto, where we played on the stage of the world-infamous El Macambo! It was freezing cold, and our taxi caught on fire as we pulled up to the hotel lobby.... How's that for an entrance?

Then, before heading overseas for the release of our first album on Neoplex Records, we stopped in San Francisco and played a few shows, including one at the legendary Sweetwater Saloon, and another at the Japanese anime convention "Anime Overdose". Quite a contrast between the audiences at these events, but they all love us!

We then made a mad dash over the Pacific to begin promo for our CD release in Japan. We played shows and did in-studio performances and had interviews with all kinds of media people, and got to work with a lot of our friends at Inter FM, Metropolis, Ruby Room, HMV, Juice Magazine, Love FM, Music On! TV, Barfout!, Space Shower, Studio Voice, and more. Thank all of you for your help and support!

The spring of seduction became the summer of love, and our work in Japan extended into a warm and delicious summer tour that took us from the beaches of Kamakura to the mountains of Shizuoka.... and the whole thing climaxed with our set at the Fuji Rock Festival. What can we say? except, "I TOLD YOU SO!"

Not to be eclipsed by this, however, was the outstanding event "Underground Unplugged Vol. 1" which featured The Beautiful Losers with acoustic performances by special guests Copeland and Oceanlane. A wonderful success, and we plan to host more Un Uns in the future. Look out for Vol. 2!

As summer ended we were again struck by inspiration and decided to make a Christmas CD! So in the heat of August, we set about writing and recording songs for "Peace, Love, & Xmas". And once again the muses smiled upon us, and the fates conspired and gave us another creation, which came out on our own Beautiful Records in Japan on Nov. 23, 2005 (more on that later).

We finished recording in September then headed back to California for shows with American Drag, Keith Varon, Nathan Paine, and another anime con appearance at Anime Destiny on the UC Berkeley campus. All were fabulous affairs with lots of fun and friends and family!

Then back to Tokyo for the release of Peace, Love & Xmas. Our first appearance was an interview and performance at the KDDI building. It was broadcast live on a big screen onto the streets of Harajuku with thousands of spectators. Wow! And from there it was a wild ride of more shows and interviews and events that started in early November and ended in late December (with a bang!) at the Inter FM iParty where WE ROCKED THE HOUSE WITH XMAS SONGS!!

We were especially proud and honored during this time to work with Amnesty International Japan on "Songs For Human Rights" and "Rock For Human Rights". These events affirmed in us the real power and purpose of music and its ability to affect the world for good. Yes!

At present, Raj is in Europe working on the French Connection, and I am holding down the fort in S.F. Our plans for this year include a new CD, more shows in Japan and California, and any number of surprises….. and we’ll see many of you along the way!

-Brett

Hello again!

The new CD is just around the corner and will be available on iTunes, amazon.co.jp, Tower Records Japan's site and CD Baby. As soon as we have links available to purchase it from each site, we'll put them up. The CD sounds great!

There's also some huge announcements coming in the future for the band, all of them great news so stay tuned for that. All in all, it looks like 2005 was a great year for the band, but 2006 should be even better! There's a ton of shows in Japan between now and the end of the year and hopefully we can counter it in 2006 with a bunch of shows in the US as well.

Thanks to everyone who supports the band and has come out to these shows. It is appreciated.

Enjoy the new album!

Hey Friends! The Beautiful Losers are live with special guests Keith Varon & Nathan Paine

Hello to all our Beautiful Losers Friends!

We've been very busy and having a lot of fun with our shows last weekend in Harajuku and Nishi Azabu. Thanks for coming out and supporting us! And now we have two more shows this weekend. The first is on Friday, July 15 at Ruby Room in Shibuya with special guest Andy Mackinlay and his band. Then on Saturday, July 16 we're at Thumbs up in Yokohama with the very cool band, Jamrose. These will be our last shows before we play at Fuji Rock Festival on July 31, so come on out and give us some love!!!

-Brett

The band sadly wasn't able to make FanimeCon, but hope to have some gigs in the SF Bay Area in August as well as perform at Anime Destiny again this year!

Check out the new t.v commercial songs featuring Raj on vocals this month in Japan!!
Volvic mineral water - Featuring The Thompson Twins 80`s classic "Hold Me Now" as well as the new Fujitsu theme song-featured on "T.V Tackle" (Beat Takeshi`s Primetime show).
More to come!

The band has just agreed to play at FanimeCon this Memorial Day weekend. We'll be happy to see all our fans and friends again!

We've been slowly working on updating the site and Raj now has a blog which he'll update from time to time (possibly even daily!). We've also installed a much more robust webboard/forum which we're quite happy with. Some people still prefer the old one, though. Let us know which one you like better! With both these and of course the mailing list and MySpace page, these are just a few new steps into staying in touch with our fans. If you have any further suggestions, please post them on our forum.

The Beautiful Losers played at Anime OD and had a great time! There are pictures up on our MySpace page from the show.

The band's full-length CD will officially be released in Japan on March 23rd! Here's the new cover:

The CD features the single "Fairweather Friend" from the hit TV Tokyo J-Drama "Deep Love". You can find more information about the CD's release here. UPDATE: You can listen to samples of "Fairweather Friend" as well as "Anjali" on our sound page as well as check out our latest video - for the song "Fairweather Friend" - on our video page!

You can also now sign up online for the band's mailing list. We'll let you know of future events we're playing at as well as any releases. The traffic is pretty low and we don't share our data with anyone (meaning we won't sell your e-mail addy to spammers, we hate them as much as you do). Join the list today!

UPDATE: Tokyo Metropolis's Japan Beat did an article on the band! Check it out!
