SURPRISE! NEW BOX FIVE DEMO, "TODAY IS THE DAY [SOLO VERSION]", MADE POSSIBLE BY MICROSOFT WINDOWS & REVERBNATION
Just wanted to let you know that there's a brand new Box Five demo now available online! It's a solo demo of a brand-spankin' new Box Five tune called "Today is the Day". This solo demo version is a delicious taste of what the LP version of "Today is the Day" will eventually become: while the demo features only voice and guitar (including a kickin' mock-instrument vocal solo if Mary does say so herself!) the eventual album version will also feature bass, drums, Latin-style piano, strings, woodwinds, and trumpet...you can say you knew it when! :) Best of all, the demo can be downloaded FREE, through Reverbnation's new sponsored song program, made possible by...Microsoft Windows. Yes, THAT Microsoft Windows! Many thanks to both companies for dreaming up this fun and fancy promotion! To download "Today is the Day (Solo Version)", simply go here!: http://www.myspace.com/windows?homepage=boxfive By the way, please download the song only ONCE. They will be logging our download results, and we want to make sure we receive our ranking fair and square! However, if you download the tune and end up totally digging it, feel free to forward the link to your friends, family and colleagues if you think they might like to check it out as well! We hope you enjoy it, please write to Mary at mary@boxfive.org and tell us what you think!! ********* NEW DIGITAL SINGLE, "UNPREDICTABLE", AVAILBLE JULY 10TH And don't forget! We're also releasing ANOTHER new song, "Unpredictable", as a digital single on July 10th!
