FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: H-Beam's Halloweeno Nintendo Party


It's almost Halloween once again and while most of Nashville prepares for hordes of candy crazed, snot nosed tykes to descend like locusts upon their homes, H-Beam is brewing up a no holds barred tribute to the most beloved childhood toy of our generation, the Nintendo Entertainment System.


Grab your controllers, light guns, and power gloves, and join H-Beam as they bob and weave through the 8-bit auditory wonders of yesteryear, intertwining the soundtracks of classic games such as Castlevania, Super Mario Bros., and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out with liberal doses of their own improv-adelic rock and roll lunacy.


Add in a stage show that pays tribute to our pixelated heroes of yore with full character costumes and blocky sprites galore, and you've got a recipe for an all-out memory-lane meltdown. Don't forget to tell your mom you're coming over and remember, if it doesn't work the first time you put it in, blow on it and try again.


What: H-Beam's Halloweeno Nintendo Party w/MoonTaxi (Nashville) & Up with the Joneses (Chattanooga)
When: Wednesday October 31, 2007
Where: Windows on the Cumberland (New Location @ 515 2nd Ave. South between Lea & Peabody)
Additional Info: Costume Party starts @ 9pm
Ticket Price: Only $5.00
Age Restriction: 18+

We're playing w/Outkast's band WHILD PEACH in Georgia!!!



Have you seen Whild Peach? Chances are you have. In the past two years theyve performed all over the world with Platinum selling, Grammy award winning hip-hop super stars Outkast. If you missed them on the Stankonia tour then maybe you caught them on:
Saturday Night Live
HBOs Chris Rock Show
The 2004 Grammy Awards
The 2003 American Music Awards
The David Letterman Show
BETs 106 And Park
HBOs Reverb
MTVs TRL

The ESPY Awards
The 2004 MTV Video Music Awards

Imagine a rock superstar mothered by Nina Simone And Fathered by George Clinton, a musical Frankenstein love child with the left arm of Jimi Hendrix, the right arm of Bootsy Collins, and the soul of James Brown. With the vocal chords of Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. A lanky, multi-instrumentalist who raids the wardrobe of Sly and has the cool of ten Princes. If you can fathom such a creature, I present to you Whild Peach and their brand of Slunky music.

Forming in Dallas, Texas, Whild Peach made the move to Atlanta in 1994. After their deal with Capital Records went sour, the band started over again on the show circuit hitting the biggest venues in Atlanta. After breaking down Atlantas genre partitioning walls, the band assembled a bandwagon on which the likes of Atlantas most respected artists jumped.

While the rappers tend to get all the credit, Hip-Hop music particularly the southern kind, which relies heavily on live instrumentation doesnt get made without the work of musicians like the ones that make up Whild Peach. Theyve spent the last ten years working on projects with Goodie Mob/Joi/Cool Breeze/Lil Will/ Khujo Goodie/Sleepy Brown/The Ali Movie Soundtrack/The Scooby-Doo Soundtrack and most notable among these efforts is their collaboration with Outkast. Beginning on Outkasts second album and continuing on to their newest record, Speaker Boxx/The Love Below (which includes two songs co-written by the band), Outkast and Whild Peach formed a relationship that included co-writing, lending a hand on vocals and instrumentation and eventually manifested itself as Whild Peach becoming the backup band on the groups tours.
But Whild Peach is more than just a backup band.
