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

Thanks to all of you who tuned in to the Rick & Bubba Show while we were on the air last Friday. In addition to the interview, we played "Smooth Grandmama" and "I'm Gonna Feed (500 Mouths)" semi-unplugged and answered calls (We had no idea how many Rick & Bubba listeners were ApologetiX fans!) Rick & Bubba are great guys off the air, too -- very friendly and hospitable.

After Rick & Bubba's in Birmingham, AL, we had a great time at the concerts Friday and Saturday night in Mississippi and Louisiana Everybody treated us great, and it was awesome to finally make our concert debuts in both of those states. Now we only have seven states to go and we'll have played them all! And, believe it or not, three of those states are really close to our home in Pittsburgh, PA -- Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. For the record, the other four states we have yet to play are Alaska, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota (Every year, we play Spirit Midwest, which is so close to Fargo, near the border :)

The downside is that our van's transmission started having problems in the deep South and barely made it back. It's in the shop this weekend, and even though we replaced it last year, we've already far exceeded the mileage on warranty. But we're thankful that the van made it back safely! But we'll be riding in a rental van this weekend. Don't worry; God provides. And it'll just make our "We're in a Parody Band" song all the funnier ... in retrospect.

4. GUESS WHO'S COMING TO CONCERT? OUR SECRET WEAPON

Those of you coming to see us this weekend in Wisconsin and on many if not all (still have to confirm) of the weekends to come this spring will get a special treat. Our secret weapon, keyboardist Bill Hubauer, will be touring with us.

Bill has played keyboards on every ApologetiX CD from "Jesus Christ Morningstar" on. We've only ever played "live" onstage with him for a handful of concerts before, but they've been great experiences. Bill is also an amazing guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer. His band, Ten Point Ten, did many concerts with ApologetiX from 1997-99, which is when we first hooked up. His sense of humor is perfectly suited to the band. You'll love him. We're very excited about playing with Bill.

In addition to our CDs and upcoming concerts, you can hear more of Bill Hubauer at http://www.tenpointten.com


5. "LOOK YOURSELF" HITS #1 ON NEW CHART

As you probably know from our recent newsletters, "Look Yourself," the first single from our new "Adam Up" CD, recently hit #1 on ChristianBEATS National Rap & Hip Hop Charts, #1 on Christian-hiphop.net, and #10 on R & R's Christian rhythmic charts.

This week, it hits #1 on the CHR and Hot Popular Music Charts for CMRadio.Net. Several weeks ago, it was voted CMRadio.Net's #1 requested song overall!

The full charts can be found at:

http://www.cmradio.net/charts/3_weeklychart.html


6. NEW REMIXED SINGLE FROM "ADAM UP"

Even though "Look Yourself" continues to hit on new charts, it's time for us to release a new single from our new "Adam Up" CD. After much consultation with radio experts nationwide, we decided upon "Lifestyles of the Rich & Nameless," the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man from Luke 16 told through a parody of Good Charlotte's "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous."

We have sent the new single of the track to radio, remixed and produced by our lead guitarist/producer, Karl Messner, with assistance from ApologetiX drummer, Bill Rieger, and sound guy, Bob Flaherty.

Karl made the announcement recently on our on-line chat and later on the Rick & Bubba Show last week. "Lifestyles of the Rich & Nameless" will be officially released to Christian rock radio on March
1. Feel free to request it from your local Christian station, if you are so inclined :)


7. TWO MORE "ADAM UP" REVIEWS

Here are some excerpts from reviews of "Adam Up" by The Edge On-Line and HM Magazine:

FROM HM MAGAZINE
Love 'em or lump 'em, credit ApologetiX with consistency. Since the mid-1990's, every 18 months or so, there they are -- in the shops that stock their discs and on the radio stations that play them either as drivetime novelty or integral playlist fodder (more than you might suspect, in both cases) - with a new album of 15-20 or more scripturally-minded parodies of pop, country and hip-hop hits from the 1950s to the current decade.

I'm pretty much in the "love 'em" camp ... New twist for the guys is the addition of female vocal trio Everlife on a few cuts, most notably "Meshach," a B-52s spoof wherein A'X singer J. Jackson vocally comes on like ol' Fred Schneider (think 'bout that). Jackson sounds to be getting more skilled at impersonation, aping Mick Jones decently on Clash mock-up "Should I Pray or Should I Go?" and getting down a Scottish brogue to make over the Proclaimers ("I'm Gonna Feed (500 Mouths)").

Throughout A'X put sacred texts to song as good as Michael Card or anyone more "serious" about it. Credit ApologetiX with consistency on that account, too.

Jamie Lee Rake HM Magazine

FROM THE EDGE ON-LINE
Albums like Apologetix's 'Adam Up" threaten to discredit reviewers such as I. Having repeated statements such as 'This is their best album yet!" album after album, we feel we just might not be taken seriously. However, the parody king's 8th album is just that. 22 tracks span decades of musical history and almost an hour and twenty minutes of spoofs that are funnier and truer to the originals than ever before.

It's dangerous work, taking a swipe at a song that's loved by millions. The pressure is greater than coming up with original material, as the standard for the song has already been set by the chart success of the original. When you listen to the track, the first thing that comes to mind is 'How does this compare to the original?". ApologetiX knows all to well that to pull it off, they need to not only hit the sound dead on, but also make the lyrics either as impacting as the original or so far out to fall into satire.

ApologetiX have proven themselves in the past with parodies that sound eerily close to the originals, songwriting that's both funny and relevant and capturing a broad audience with songs from most popular genres. They do it all again with 'Adam Up", only this time they're better than ever before. No, really, we mean it this time!

-- Chad, The Edge On-Line

8. GIRLS FROM "MESHACH" SIGNED TO MAJOR LABEL

We just received word via news release that Everlife, the group whose wonderful female harmonies are featured prominently on our "Adam Up" CD on the songs "Meshach," "Get Found Tonight," "Sweet Oholibamah" and "Choose Your Daddy," have been signed to a major label. We knew it was only a matter of time, and we're very proud of them and happy for them! Here's the info from the press release:

Franklin, TN
– Tovah Music / Crowne Music is proud to announce the signing of Everlife, the third project in the partnership between the two labels.

'Everlife is one of those bands that is seemingly too good to be true. They are committed to touring, are fabulous musicians, have huge hearts for ministry and have created an amazing following on their own," states Kevan Cyka, general manager of Tovah Music. 'This band has a huge future ahead of them."

Three sisters, Amber (19), Julia (14) and Sarah (17) started Everlife five years ago in their native Pittsburgh, PA when the then 9 year old Julia announced to the others that they needed to start a band. Their amazing harmonies and proficiency on numerous instruments, combined with natural songwriting talents made the young Julia's idea a reality.

Over the past 5 years, the trio has consistently played 150 dates a year – starting anywhere they could find an audience. Everlife's song 'Lead the Way" was #1 on their local Pittsburgh Fish station, they played the mainstage at Lifelight Fest in South Dakota for 75,000 people, have done numerous mission trips overseas and sold over 5000 copies of their own acoustic CD out of the back of their van.

'When Kevan brought this project to us, we were just amazed at the talent these three girls possess," continues Michael Turner, general manager of Crowne Music. 'Crowne is always looking for artists that are striving for more than just making good music. The girls' focus on missions was very attractive because they are not only embracing culture, they are affecting it. Plus, we really want the atmosphere at Crowne to feel like a family, and the personalities of the Everlife family fits great in our family."

Crowne Music / Tovah Music is distributed by Word Entertainment / WEA and based in Franklin, TN. Everlife's currently untitled debut album is scheduled for a August 24 release.

"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)

17. Love Ain't Nothin' ('Long Train Running" by the Doobie Brothers)
18. Verynice City ('Paradise City" by Guns n' Roses)
