We have entered the demo of our tune, Promises, into the Older Idol contest in Toronto. You can check out the details and vote for us here:

The winner is chosen by the number of online votes they receive so we would really appreciate it if you (and all your friends!) could please go to this link and vote for Tell Mama’s Promises (if you think we deserve it).

Thanks for helping us out!

Well, it took me a month to iron out the kinks (and there are still a few small ones left) but I can finally take gig photos with my phone and upload them instantly to our facebook account AND link them to our website/blog.

This is pretty cool because, while I do take a lot of still photo, audio and video footage at our gigs, it can take a while to get around to posting it online which is just not helpful.

Now, I can take footage of our performances and the crowd and have them appear on my personal facebook site and the Tell Mama website within minutes. Visit http://www.tellmama.net/blog/photos/mobile-uploads/ to see our mobile uploads - I will be sending photos from every gig we play.

I have also set up a facebook page for Tell Mama where Tell Mama fans can upload photos and video footage they may have - wouldn’t that be fun?! So, visit our page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tell-Mama/9564019969?ref=s and share your Tell Mama memories. I thinks it’s a great way to celebrate the music and the community. At this point, facebook doesn’t actually allow me to pull my mobile uploads photo album from my personal site and place them on my band page without but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. I will still be placing photos here but it will have to be the old fashioned way.
