Ballas Hough Band Finish Record, Prep For ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Tour
Ballas Hough Band checked in with fans on their blog at MySpace on Sunday (December 14), discussing the band’s participation in the Dancing with the Stars tour and progress on their Hollywood Records debut album, which is due out March 2009. The Los Angeles based pop rock group tell readers:
Wanted to give everybody a quick update of what we have been up to.
After 2 weeks of 18 hour days, rehearsing first all day for the DWTS Tour and then going to band rehearsals at night, we are finally hitting the road tomorrow for the DWTS Tour!
Yesterday we had a dress rehearsal for “Friends & Family” for the DWTS Tour. We are relieved that we are finally going on the road. This tour is going to be a lot of fun and I hope you all come out to say hello to us when we play with our band in these cities.
On the band front, we finally finished the record! It is incredible. Our photo shoot is done and our first single is now officially “Devastated” and not “Do It For You”, as originally planned. Devastated came out so great that we all decided to change to it at the last minute. We are now looking at video treatments and will be shooting a music video before the end of the year. Crazy- huh? That means that our label has to fly us in from one of our DWTS tour stops to be able to do this. Everything is moving so fast it is kind of surreal for us. We can’t wait until you guys hear the new songs. We worked very hard on this album and are very proud of it.
