ApologetiX on National TV Saturday Plus More
Fri., Feb. 6. 2004 10:29pm EST

1. ApologetiX on National TV Saturday
2. ApologetiX "Live" Web Chat Monday
3. Next Weekend: Ohio & Michigan
4. Two Weeks Out: Mississippi & Louisiana
5. Three Weeks Out: Two in Wisconsin
6. "Look Yourself" Most Requested Song, #3 on New National Chart
7. "Adam Up," "Isn't Wasn't Ain't" Plus $7 CDs & More On Sale Online
8. How to Order "Adam Up" and the Other CDs Via Mail

J. Jackson, lead singer and lyricist for ApologetiX (That Christian Parody Band) here.

Hope you're doing well there! I'm preparing to enjoy my last weekend off before we hit the road again. We're looking forward to seeing you all again, but whether we're coming to your town soon or not (and there are a LOT of as-yet-announced concerts that will be posting to our schedule on apologetix.com soon), you can see us on Saturday AND Monday -- read items #1 and 2 below for more details!

In fact, you may see our lead guitarist and producer, Karl Messner, before we do. He's been on vacation out of the country for the past week, so we've had no phone or email communication with him during that time. That's actually good, because it means Karl has actually been vacationing full time and not doing band work on the side (He and his wife, Debbie, are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary, which is later this year.) He has definitely deserved a break, and we're glad he's finally getting one!


1. APOLOGETIX ON NATIONAL TV SATURDAY

Hey, I just got the news on when when our national television appearance will be on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). How about tomorrow (Saturday)? Yeah, sorry for the short notice! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Trinity Broadcasting Networking (TBN), there's a good chance you get it, especially if you have any kind of cable package.

The JC-TV One-Year Anniversary Special, which we just taped a couple weeks ago, is scheduled to air on the Trinity Broadcasting Network this Saturday February 7, at 11 p.m. (EST), 8 p.m. (PST).

In addition to ApologetiX, there were also musical performances by Out of Eden, Plus One, T-Bone and Dogwood. Special guests include Steven Baldwin, Steve Russo and Mark Stuart of Audio Adrenaline. I think our performances are close to the beginning of the show (I'm not sure, since it was taped), so make sure you tune in on time!

The JC-TV One-Year Anniversary Special will also air on JC-TV the following days and times: Friday February 13 & 27 at 5 p.m. EST, Saturday February 21 at 10 a.m. EST & 4 p.m. EST and Sunday February 29 at 10 a.m. EST. However, your best bet to see us would be Saturday, because I think a lot more of you have TBN than JC-TV.



2. APOLOGETIX "LIVE" ONLINE CHAT COMING MONDAY!

Feb. 9, 2004 at 8 p.m.,
members of ApologetiX will be online answering your questions at

WHAT'S ON "ADAM UP"?

Here s a list of what songs are on our brand new CD, Adam Up, the new titles, the original songs and artists they spoof:

1. We're in a Parody Band ('We're an American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad)
2. Lifestyles of the Rich & Nameless ('Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous by Good Charlotte)

WHAT'S ON 'ISN'T WASN'T AIN'T"?

"Isn't Wasn't Ain't" is a limited edition CD (not available in stores), which is a re-release of our 1993 release, "Isn't Wasn't Ain't," which was previously available only on cassette (only about 1,000 copies were made of the original).

We'd hoped to satisfy our fans' desire for new material with the release of 'Adam Up," but many of you still wanted more. So we've remastered a CD version of 'Isn't Wasn't Ain't," complete with a very cool-looking label. Like our 'Have Yourself a Parody Little Christmas," this CD does not have a CD booklet (tracks are listed on the label) and is not available in stores. It's something we're making available especially for our email newsletter fans.

Here's a list of what songs are on the limited edition reissue CD our 1993 release 'Isn't Wasn't Ain't," the new titles, the original songs and artists they spoof:

1. Isn't Wasn't Ain't ('Livin' Lovin' Maid" by Led Zeppelin)
2. David and Goliath ('Paperback Writer" by the Beatles)
3. Lions ('Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band and Tesla)
4. Patients ('Patience" by Guns n' Roses)
5. Help Me, Rhoda ('Help Me, Rhonda" by the Beach Boys)
6. That Daughter ('Black Water" by the Doobie Brothers)
7. Little Esther ('Little Sister" by Elvis Presley)
8. Don't Try ('Don't Cry" by Guns n' Roses)
9. I Found the Answer There ('I Saw Her Standing There" by the Beatles)
10. Be Like David Was ('Feel Like Makin' Love" by Bad Company)
11. Ain't That a Miracle ('Pink Houses" by John Cougar Mellencamp)
12. Faith Pt. 2 ('Faith" by George Michael)
13. Christians Doin' Music ('Listen to the Music" by the Doobie Brothers)
14. What is and Will Forever Be ('What is What Should Never Be" by Led Zeppelin)
15. Matthew 9 ('I Feel Fine" by the Beatles)
16. He Really Got Mad ('You Really Got Me" by the Kinks and Van Halen)
17. Love Ain't Nothin' ('Long Train Running" by the Doobie Brothers)
18. Verynice City ('Paradise City" by Guns n' Roses)

And, like we said, there's plenty more available at the link. You can still order the special Christmas CD, the autographed concert posters, and the $7 cracked CD sale for our other seven titles, 'Radical History Tour" through 'Grace Period."
