How do you get Kingsfoil to play with Cee Lo Green and The Black Keys? We’ve been given the opportunity to play at Virgin Mobile’s Free Fest at Merryweather Pavillion. The last step of getting this show requires voting, so here’s where you come in. GET OUT THE VOTE! We need your vote. We need your mom’s vote. We need your cousin’s friend’s sisters’ votes. So please vote and then post this link to your Facebook and send it to your friend’s through email, and think of other crazy ideas to spread the word. We really try hard not to be “that band” always pestering you, but this time we just need your help too much!

We love you, and thank you for being the best fans we could ever ask for.
PS, we’re opening for OAR November 1st at Ohio University. Boom!

Hello everybody!
We hope everybody’s summer has been awesome so far! We refuse to watch anything on TV that pertains to fall or the buying of any clothes that have sleeves. Lets make summer last! We’ve got a couple little thangs to get you all in the loop about. First off, we are very happy to announce that “Switched At Birth” on abc family has used another one of songs for their season finale last night. You can watch some of the episode and hear our clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzG5xgetv3w (song comes on 9min in)
We also had our song “Trees” on Dream Weddings on WGAL (a local PA show) – here’s a link to that show – we are featured on Episode 8 – http://dreamweddingspa.com/all-episodes Please tell your friends to check out both shows!
If you’re looking for summer type things to do we are headed to philly to one of our fav venues - world cafe live downstairs. We will be playing along with many friends- find vienna, lizbeth rose, and east hundred. you can buy your tickets here:http://tickets.worldcafelive.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=4108
Then at the end of the month we head to the chameleon on aug 26th for a rock show that will be loud and sweaty and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Message us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/kingsfoil for tickets or tweet us: @kingsfoil or send an email to steve@kingsfoil.com and we will hook you up with cheap tickets!
We are also very pumped about a brand new video we are working on for “give it up now” which you can check out some behind the scenes and get a sneak peak here: http://youtu.be/HOZ1-Ea_5e0

Hello All!
Much news to share, we just got back from a mini midwest tour which was awesome. We had a blast at summerfest and won the emerging artist prize package thanks to many new friends (and many back home). After many late nights, lake showers, all night drives, & meeting many amazing new people (we love chicago) we’re all back for a day- just enough time for me to make a dinner compltely out of things from the valley’s garden which is great because I have been eating gas station food for the past week. We head to nyc for a show tomorrow night and then off to the beach to write new songs, relax and get ready for many more shows in july and aug.
Which leads us to other news, we are having a very easy contest this week, all you have to do is suggest kingsfoil’s facebook page to 100 or more of your friends, (the more the better) snap a photo with your cell phone, then post it on our facebook or send it to steve@kingsfoil.com. After we get 10 people doing this we will draw one name to win a pair of VIP all weekend passes for xpn fest! (In NJ on the waterfront across from philly.) That means you can go to all 3 days of music for FREE (we play Sunday) you will also be able to hang in the “artist area” its a pretty sweet deal. We will pick the winner this weekend, so get to work. It only takes a couple mins!
Remember its the frist 10 people that send us a photo so act now!
Also, keep the videos for mimic video coming (only a week or so left!) The prize for that is even cooler!
We are also very pumped to anounce we will have brand new tshirts this summer so keep an eye out!
Cheers,
Jordan (and the rest of us)

Also, stay tuned for a way to win two free passes to the festavail where you will get to hang in the vip area with the artest and you will be able to check out all 3 days for free!
4 & half- we are also working on a brand new music video for “give it up now” which will be coming out this summer- & since it seems to be the kingsfoil way to always pick hot summer days to shoot a video we are proud to annouce that we also are working on some sweaty hot footage for another music video which you will hear more about soon!
Stayed tuned and we will see you all this Friday night in york at the captail theatre or in philly on Saturday at the troc!

Hello all you Kingsfoilers! We hope your Spring/summer (Sprummer?) is going awesome. We’ve been trying to stay cool with lots of shows and writing even more new music for you. We feel like we really need to up it a notch with our lyrical content, don’t you agree? I mean, every single Ke$ha single has mentioned Glitter, and now the new Katy Perry song does too. We really missed the boat there guys, but don’t worry… we’re back on track, and it will be raining glitter soon. Seriously though, we’re so pumped for Summer, so we’ve decided to spread our cheer by giving away Summer Comes for free on the first day of Summer! It’ll be a fun little gift for you, so keep your eyes peeled for that. We’ve also got some more great shows coming up- June 24 for Dana Alexandra’s CD Release Party. Then June 25th in Philly at the Troc w/ June Divided. We also are looking forward to our trip to Milwaukee for Summerfest where we perform July 7th. And yes, Katy Perry will also be playing that night. We’ll probably be willing to do anything to get into that show, so look out for a great vlog of that trip. We’ve got lots of other show announcements coming in the next week, so if we didn’t mention your town, don’t give up hope. We’ll be all over the map!
If you’ve been working hard on your Mimic Video, it’s time to put it into high gear. The deadline is July 15th. Check out our video explaining the contest.
See you soon,
kf

Welcome to mimic video – where you video tape yourself singing/playing your fav kingsfoil song OR a cover song you think kingsfoil might sound good playing and then you send us the video and we have to take this watch it and then flim our own. We have to do it in the same kind of location and the same song. If you play the whole song that’s awesome but not required. You can just sing a verse or chorus. You can bring your friends. Be creative. The more random the better:)
We will pick a couple of the videos (covers and our songs) and post them along with our video. At that point we will have our fans and friends watch and vote/like on which one they like best. It will also be your job to get your friends to vote as well. We will pick one winner. They will get a brand spanking new kingsfoil t-shirt and itunes gift card some other cool stuff.
Once you’ve made your video. send it to steve@kingsfoil.com and/or upload it to youtube (name it mimic video with kingsfoil in the title).
We will have a youtube play list set aside for the voting when it comes to that.
Watch a video from the guys about the contest here – http://youtu.be/wrfyodz30gw
Start mimicing kids!
