Beatnik Turtle Turns 20! TheSongOfTheDay.com Turns 10!

Happy 2017!

The band is celebrating 2 things this January 1, 2017. First, Beatnik Turtle turns 20 years old January 1st. Second, the band is celebrating the 10th anniversary of TheSongOfTheDay.com.

That's right -- 10 years ago tonight at midnight Beatnik Turtle launched its boldest project to date: releasing 365 songs, one song for each day of 2007.

The site is still alive and well. It's been kickin' tunes weekly since January 1, 2008. And, we're leaving the site "as is" so it's an artifact to the world wide web circa the mid-2000s. So, if you visit it, prepare to step back in time. Before iPhones, VR, AI assistants, self-driving cars, and Uber.

Happy New Year! Here's to a music-filled 2017!

Randy Interviewed on The Intrepid Songwriter Show

Randy, our band's sax player, recently got interviewed by The Intrepid Songwriter Show and in part two talks about our band's songwriting approach, TheSongOfTheDay.com project, and more.

In the first part he plugs his and Jason's newest book, the second edition to The Indie Band Survival Guide: Remixed & Remastered (St. Martin's Press). You know, he's an author and "the band writes books" so he's gotta plug it! :-)

Freaks, Geeks, Cry Babies, and Whiskey

Recently, the folks behind the video blog Geeks Money used our remake of the Irish drinking song Whiskey Yer The Devil in a really fun video about all of our favorite people from grade school. Awesome! Check out their post and the video is below:
