It’s almost here! The Crüxshadows’ new single, “Birthday”, will be officially released on September 4th. The disc is very important for the band and it’s fans, as it is an opportunity for them to again make it onto the mainstream-clad Billboard charts here in the states. Their last single, “Sophia” (Buy it now!), put them at number seven on the Hot Singles Sales charts and they actually made it to number one on the Dance Singles Sales charts. All thanks to the many fans of the band purchasing the single in opening weekend. Rogue’s latest post on the band blog (on MySpace) really says it best…

We will of course be releasing Birthday as a single, and launching that release from DragonCon as we did with Sophia last year. Dancing Ferret Discs feels that it is possible to make the Billboard charts again. But this isn’t the kind of thing that will happen by itself… we really need our fans to support this disc… especially in its first week. There are a lot of things that are against us, but by concentrating our sales at or near the CDs release, we feel that once again we will be able to compete with major labels and their marketing machines. Doing well on the charts opens up many doors to the band, so I am asking everyone to really get behind this Birthday CD. Its a great song. I know many of you have Birthday already… because you own a copy of Dreamcypher, but please consider buying the single version. It contains two new B-Side tracks; The 8th Square and a remake of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit. It also contains three versions of Birthday, and even the album version has some minor changes added to it. Pre-orders at Amazon and Isotank.com should count towards Billboard, and CDs bought in any store like Best Buy & Hot Topic should count as well. CDs sold at DragonCon will be entered into the official tally and we will be pushing it really hard there.

The official video for “Birthday” was released to the public yesterday. The band actually put up a high-res version of it on their podcast page if you’re not satisfied with the grainy YouTube version. It was filmed at the Midi Festival this year in Beijing, China. The Crüxshadows were the first Western band of their genre to play in the country too, which is quite an awesome feat if you ask me. The audio is a combination of the studio version, the Chinese audience enthusiastically enjoying the performance, and the live recording. It’s a very well made video for a very well made song…

I would just like to reiterate how important it is that you purchase one or more of this CD during opening weekend. The band, the fans, and I would be very grateful.

Buy it now! (PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!)
