Bettie is absolutely Speechless!
She just can't believe that you haven't signed up for the Mourned By Flies Newsletter yet.

What the hell could you possibly be waiting for?




For those of you that have signed up at past shows and have not received any e-mails please send us an "ADD ME"" e-mail to the address listed above. Occasionally due to overwhelming excitement, too much alcohol or what-have-you, some folks handwriting isn't legible. We try to guess as best we can at the scribbles, and we usually get responses from the "mailerdaemon" that an address is invalid or doesn't exist. If you think that this scenario may apply to you please let us know. For those of you that this does not apply to, keep reading...

This handy dandy little newsletter will help keep you informed of all the cool things that this band can get its paws on. Upcoming shows, progress on the upcoming new album, new merchandise availability even the occational map to a hard to find venue. The coolest part is its absolutely free! So sign up, sign your friends up (if you sign up a friend, which we highly encourage by the way, be sure to include their email address in the message), sign your folks up, sign up your neighbors and anyone else you can think of, it'll be great. That way you'll be at a cool show with 500 of you best friends. That sounds like the best show ever! You could also cancel the newsletter at any time, not that you would want to though, cuz that would be a totally lame move.....

If you would like to contact us about artwork or anything else for that matter you can do so with the same address. We'll reply as soon as possible.

If you send us spam, we'll send you the dark overlords of Xerxoin 8 (alpha sector d). They're tough son's a bitches. In fact I don't think that its even legal for me to describe what they might do to a spammer so I'd just skip the whole spam angle if I were you.


Here'e a sample from our most recent mailing:

With the maturation of social media sites, email newsletters are shifting in priority. We can now easily and quickly update everyone (as long as you’ve found us on our Facebook, Reverb Nation and twitter accounts) very easily. However, a little more info than those sites easily allow is nice every once in a while. So, we will still send out an email occasionally to fill in the little gaps that the speedy updates miss….

New Music!!!
Our new album is well underway for those of you that like to follow such developments. We have been spending many hours in the studio whittling away at what is shaping up to be one killer album! We have yet to even title our grand opus. We hope to have more information including a title, a rough mix of some of the music as well as info on the rest of the production process over the next 4 to 6 weeks. We are posting regular updates on our Facebook and Reverb Nation pages as well as twitter.

Prizes and Giveaways!!!
As we near the release of our new record we thought it would be cool to give some stuff away. But, to be eligible you need to find us on Facebook. That’s going to be the hub of our contests and giveaways. We have been thinking about giving away some t-shirts, CDs stickers, all kinds of stuff. If there’s a prize you’d like us to offer – post it as a comment on our Facebook page. We might hook you up just for giving us a cool idea!

Feedback from YOU.
Two-way communication is one of the cool things about social media. Tell us what you think about our music and our band, what you like and want to hear more of. Our approach is to always write music for ourselves because we know what we like. That’s why it is even more rewarding when our fans really love it too. Help us strengthen our relationship with you all by telling us what you think. Also, for the You Tubers out there, we have our own channel! We have several live videos as well some sneak peaks of our studio work. Wanna see Erik Gristle in action in the studio. You can on our You Tube channel. Go check it out!
