Emblem3 - stealing our mojo?

So, we heard that there was the hot, new boy band on the X-Factor recently.  Emblem3, you wanna take this outside? xo, Travis

If you haven't seen THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, get up from your chair immediately and run to the nearest movie theater.  Trust me.

Dilly Dilly Rocks Chicopee!

Dilly Dilly Performs at Chickopee
Public Library for Level3 Reunited Tour

We thought it was hot in the South of France (where we are stranded for reasons you just cannot fathom), but nothing beat the temperatures in Chicopee, MA (in the good old USA) for the first stop on the Level3 Reunited Tour.


But that Dilly Dilly is so darn cool that I am sure the whole city took a sigh of relief as her tour van rolled into town (...without us).  Speaking of tour vans, we had a good laugh seeing Reunited readers driving the  Level3 Reunited Tour bus.  We had this awesome bus photo booth designed for the tour (thanks Marty Braun Design) and this is our first chance seeing the pics. 

YA librarian, Erin Daly (we are so bummed not to have met this groovy library chick!) said the photo booth, "really looks like it's on the road if you crop it right.  It's very cool!"  These readers look cool indeed.


According to librarian Erin Daly, teens at the Chicopee Public Library were way interested in Dilly Dilly's array of instruments (Epiphone Les Paul , bango, uke).  Dilly Dilly chatted with them a little during the performance and a lot afterwards.  The "lot afterwards" included a trip to Dilly Dilly's van where she gave a impromptu performance of "Silent Night" on the saw!  That's the girl we know and love.







Thank you Erin Daly!  Thanks Chicopee!  Mmm... Chicko-Peas. ;)

Has One Direction been hacking our email again? Or are vintage V.W. vans & boy bands just a really cool combo?  You be the judge.
1D's music video for "What Makes You Beautiful."


Versus:  Our song, "Heyday" in the book trailer for "REUNITED."

Did One Direction Copy Us?

The days before the tour bus. Good times.
(Still photo taken from the Level3
Pop-Up Documentary - COMING SOON!)

We aren't calling our lawyers or anything, but we did find this photo   of Brit teen sensation 1D rather curious.  See them posed in front of that orange VW camper van? Well, we used to tour in a yellow van just like it.  Hmmm.  So, the coincidences between 1D and Level3 go beyond just the sexy hair...

This van can barely contain our cuteness.

LOVING it.  Click the "FREE MUSIC Downloads" tab (above) for 2 free Level3 songs.

Want to win an advance reader copy of REUNITED? Of course you do, because we're in it!

Since we play music, people ask us who we listen to all the time.  My usual answer is everything.  But if we had to narrow it down, here are a few of our favs.  But blame Ryan for adding Bieber.  Freak-show.

Blink 182, 30 Seconds to Mars, Linkin Park, Paramore, Maroon Five, Panic at the Disco, Justin Bieber, P!nk, David Archuleta, Not Like Them, Burnham, Justin Timberlake, The Rolling Stones

Isn't he dreamy?
