“THE SONG OF THE DAY” REACHES HALFWAY MARK AT 183 SONGS RELEASED
By jason | July 9, 2007
CHICAGO (July 9, 2007) – Challenging themselves to release a song a day in 2007, Chicago-based band, Beatnik Turtle, closes in on the halfway mark-183 songs, celebrating their tuneful triumph with the launch of Beatnik Turtle Radio-a streaming audio player featuring the best songs from TheSongOfTheDay.com.
Given Beatnik Turtle’s propensity for writing songs in every style and genre, visitors who “tune in” to Beatnik Turtle Radio experience song rotations, call signs, and occasional parody commercials, qualities often associated with traditional radio stations. New songs are added regularly as they are released from TheSongOfTheDay.com making each visit to the site a new musical experience.
“When you obligate yourself to writing 365 songs you challenge yourself musically in ways you wouldn’t have otherwise,” says saxophonist, Randy Chertkow. “You aren’t concerned about trying to fit songs into a particular band ’sound’ and you feel free to collaborate with other singers and musicians which creates tremendous energy and variety.”
“The Song of the Day” campaign ends on December 31st, 2007 after posting 365 songs, literally releasing a song a day throughout the year.
On top of “The Song of the Day” campaign, the band releases a full-length office themed CD in September entitled All In A Day’s Work. In addition, band members Randy Chertkow and Jason Feehan are currently writing the “Indie Band Survival Guide”, a book covering what independent musicians need to know to succeed on their own. The book will be released through St. Martin’s Press in 2008.
Comprised of a community of musicians, Beatnik Turtle shares a similar musical vision and sense of humor. They write, record and produce songs in their own studio as well as perform live. To request an interview with the band please contact Janelle Rogers at 248.336.9696.
