We want to talk about YOU!


In an effort to think outside our cages, we at The Redding Shift want to try something a little different.

Instead of harassing everyone we know to talk about us and promote us. We're going to talk about you. Some of it may even be good!

Tell us something interesting about yourself that you want everyone to know. Have you hand crafted something nifty lately? Did you write a song or a poem that you just know everyone and their dog should be exposed to? Are you in the second most awesome band in the world (obviously the #1 spot is reserved for TRS)? Getting married and want the world to hear about it?

Send us a line about why you should be talked about. Contact us through our myspace page or our facebook page. Be sure to preface the message with something along the lines of 'BLOG ABOUT ME!' - and we'll do just that.

Really, no strings attached here. Not asking you to do anything for us. We just want to tell everyone something interesting about part of our circle of friends.

So get to it!

Battle of the Bands - Nov 29th


Alright. We're playing a show in Nashville on Nov. 29th. It's a battle of the bands, being hosted by a booking / talent development agency. The winners get many dates booked by the agency and some studio time + some general artist development services.

Now these things often are not won by the best bands, but by the one that's all high school kids, who have a ton of high school kid friends to bring to the show and be loud. Then they go on to not be able to really go on tour, because of curfews and mom won't let them borrow the mini-van to tote gear.

So instead, we're going to mix it up and win it ourselves. But we'll need all of you rowdy lot to be loud and supportive on, yes, a Sunday evening at one of Nashville grittiest rock venues.

Think of it this way, come out, be loud, help us get on the road - then you win, because we're on the road and many miles away from your homes, families and sheep. It's mutually beneficial.
