2008 - New Pope Jane Video! - We're
really happy to announce that we'll eventually have
a concert DVD for everybody who was unable to make the
Montana concert! Director and Producer Paul Mehlhaff
shot coverage of the Pope Jane Reunion Concert in Billings,
Montana, on June 21st, and has been editing and compiling
it into a live concert DVD!!
You
might recognize Paul's name already, because he was
the very same creative guru that Directed and Produced
Danielle's solo video for her first single release,
"Swinging
At Nothing", from her Red
Lodge album. So Danielle and the gals
were thrilled that Paul showed interest in putting together
the Pope Jane concert DVD, and we're all really lucky
to have his talent working to up our rockstar curb value!
Check
out the video cut below of the song "Say My Name",
and get a taste of the upcoming DVD -- THANK YOU PAUL
MEHLHAFF!!
April
2008 - Well how is everybody?
It’s been a long time since we’ve had some
new Pope Jane news to update you guys on, and we’ve
got some exciting stuff to tell you about, but first
-- let us catch you up on what’s been going on.
See, we’ve
been on a hiatus for several years while Danielle has
been in Los Angeles pursuing other areas of her entertainment
career that include starring in a film, scoring said
film, making some TV appearances, writing screenplays,
and developing some other musical projects. During that
time, Kristen headed up to her beloved Pacific Northwest
from Los Angeles to pursue finishing up the rest of
her college degree and to live life outside of the “Love
you! Mean it!” vibe of entertainment while returning
to her roots. In the interim, Holly got married, built
Tinseltown Casino up in Billings, Montana, developing
it into a fabulous multi-million dollar endeavor, and
has been raising her kids with her husband while they
work in the family gaming biz.
All that
aside, all these years later, Holly still makes a bitchin'
sheet cake, Danielle still talks too much, and Kristen
still enjoys sitting in the dark, all by herself.
Now that
you’re caught up on what we’ve been up to
– here’s the latest exciting band news:
Pope Jane
was signed to Maurice
The Fish Records as part of a revolutionary
multi-tiered record deal penned by singer Danielle Egnew.
On the tails of this signing comes a Pope Jane reunion
concert up in Pope Jane’s home territory of Billings,
Montana, scheduled for Saturday, June 21st, 2008 on
the Main stage at Montana
Pride. It's one performance only, so we
suggest marking that show on the calender – it’s
going to be a doosie, people!
You’ll
also hear a lot of Pope Jane’s music in the upcoming
2008 feature film release Changing Spots,
in which Danielle starred as disenfranchised former
rock star, Peg Franklin. The film features many Pope
Jane songs, with Danielle “performing” the
song “Lay Down Your Life” as her character
in one of the scenes, so though Pope Jane is not backing
her up onscreen, the song still makes quite a splash.
We’re
hoping to have some exciting new CD releases in 2008
on Maurice The Fish Records, including a Pope Jane Best-Of
album to be premiered at the Pope Jane Reunion Concert
on June 21st in Billings, Montana, containing hits from
all five albums and a few never-been-recorded bonus
tracks -- and be on the lookout for a possible new CD
altogether later in the year. More on that as we know
more, Grasshopper.
So stay tuned,
you guys, and remember— Popeliness is next to
Godliness – or some such thing.
