Lego’s Ninjago featuring The Fold!

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

Hey y’all! It’s been a minute, and we wanted to let you know what we’ve been up to. We recently recorded & made an official video for “The Weekend Whip“. It’s the theme song for Lego’s new animated series Ninjago: Masters Of Spinjitzu. We went to Denmark, home of Lego, to shoot it- which was the first time our band had been there. This is also the first time we’ve had a song mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, which is very exciting for us! A very special thanks to Jeppe Riddervold and JAM for putting all of this together.

This story started last year, when we sang on a demo which was used in season one of the show. The traction has been so great, racking up over 10 million youtube hits in just a few short months, that Lego gave the go ahead to have the band full re-track the song, as well as shoot a high budget video to release the song as a single. Which brings us to today, we’re excited to get this out there and rest assured, our new album IS IN PRODUCTION! For the moment, though- CHECK OUT THE VIDEO:

You Done Got Unfollowed?!

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Where all our tweeples at?! Since a good number of you (honestly, way more than we thought) were a little upset about our mass unfollowing, we wanted to drop you a message to let you know what’s up.

First, it is ABSOLUTELY nothing personal. It’s not about what you were tweeting, anything you’ve said, etc. Truth of the matter is, our twitter account turned into a bit of a spam machine when you’re following 4,000+ people. There are about 50 new tweets every minute and we can’t possibly keep track of everyone.

Second, we may have been bad for a while with our social media. In our earlier days, we would find shortcuts, to what we thought was your heart. Automated programs that would follow you back, just because you followed us. Cheating, we know! Unfortunately, with this came a lot, and I mean A LOT of spam bots. So even of the tweets we can see on screen, a bunch of them tend to be automated poop that suckers like us fell for by auto-following.

Third, we really do want a better connection with you and fewer followers will make us more apt to using our twitter account as well. Seriously, everyday we get about 5 – 10 direct messages from someone’s account who has been hacked and it’s links to “Make $50k in 3 days”. So what happens is we miss it for a few days, then there are like 30 DMs in there, and before we know it, someone who was legitimately trying to get a hold of us has now had their message lost in the mix and we never see it.

All in all, we figured a fresh wipe clean of who we follow will help us to use Twitter better, that’s the real reason. We are most definitely still going to message back every @reply you send us! Don’t believe me…try it, fool!

“This Christmas” now on iTunes!

Monday, November 29th, 2010

This Christmas now on iTunes!We hope this season is knocking your stockings off. As you may have heard, a few days ago we released a Christmas song called “This Christmas” just in time for the holidaze. We’ve been keeping up with all of the iTunes reviews & are THRILLED that so many of you  have found it to be a worthy addition to your most killer Xmas playlist! In case you have heard it, we’ve just posted the song on our facebook-you should definitely “like” our page & check it out.

We’re just getting started on our new record, so this felt like the perfect thing to say “til next year” to the fans, we hope you enjoy it! Plus, I wrote the song about that one person in my life who beats all other gifts. It’s a great time of year, but even better when we take the emphasis off of ourselves. Woah, that was deep for a news post. I digress.

As another token of our appreciation, we’re offering FREE SHIPPING ALL WEEK LONG on all domestic t-shirt orders at our “Convenience Store“- go take care of some gift-giving right now! We’re also giving away signed posters and stickers with every order (as always), and our latest full length is available in autographed form as well.

Heart,
Daniel

This Wednesday night we ask you to tune into TheFoldRock.com for an exclusive LIVE event, right on your computer. It may have been 3 years since you’ve seen The Fold, or maybe you’ve NEVER seen The Fold. Well, now is your chance.

“The Sad Banana” Video Premiere
If you didn’t already know how much we love throwing together stupid little video clips, you haven’t been around very long at all. If you’ve been around at all lately, you’ll notice we’ve been on kind of this…banana kick. I guess you could call it! Reason being, we’ve shot a bunch of videos over the last couple tours and even some home shows with the “Sad Banana” premise. If you’re looking for reasoning…I can’t give you any. We don’t know why, we just thought it’d be funny.

Well now, the video is done and before we release it on Twitter for Fold Theater Thursday, we thought we’d give all of you dibs on seeing the video.

How Long Will it Take?
Wow, you’re getting bored fast here, huh?! How do you expect to sit through a webcast if you can’t even read this post?! We’re kicking this thing off at 930CST and will probably go for about 45 mins. So grab some popcorn, invite over some friends, turn off the cell phone and get ready for Fold TV!
