Heya
Calabrese, I have a totally weird story to tell you ! I was listening
to your CD (TTVS) late last nite and I had the strangest urge to put my
hand on the speaker of my stereo?! As soon as I put my hand on the
speaker, the candles in my room blew out! I didn't think much of it
until I tried it again, after I re-lit the candles. Third times a charm
right ;) so I did again to prove to myself that I was not going
crazy.... But this time when the candles blew out I just sat in the
dark and left my hand on the speaker. I forget which song was playing
but it was one of your really creepy ones. I felt the vibrations
traveling through my hand all the way up my arm. As the music changed
so did the vibrations. My heart started beating faster in response to
the music and I saw a blue light form in the middle of my pitch black
room. I can't really describe what I saw next but I swear it was a
person within that blue light trying to get my attention. Before I had
the chance to communicate with the entity my door swung open. It was my
Mom half asleep and upset. She said I was screaming and she thought
someone was attacking me! I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had
this kind of experience and if you planned something like this to
happen? I know you guys joke around about this kinda thing but come on,
what gives?"
Well, Jamie, first we would like to suggest that
you stay on your medications, you might even want to up the dosage!
Secondly, we'd like to remind you, and everyone else who listens to our
music, that our lawyers have assured us that any supernatural or
paranormal activity that may occur while listening to Calabrese music
is in no way affiliated with Calabrese or Spookshow Records. Further
more, Calabrese and Spookshow Records are not liable for any physical
damage or mental health issues that occur during or after listening to
said music. Thanks for the email, keep 'em coming!

We had such a great time at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA last weekend,
that we want to extend the excitement and raw rock and roll power
through this month! Any order over $25 will receive a free, signed
"The Traveling Vampire Show Poster!" We'll even put a Calabrese death
hex on it for you, too!
Also, check out the HotPicks myspace page, they made us the featured
band for the month!
It's true! Our merch table will soon collapse under the weight of all
our swag, but despite the risk, we introduce a new t-shirt design, "The
Raven!" This sinister and evil design will warn bystanders not to get
too close or they may lose an eye. A must have for the true Calabrese
connoisseur.
BEWARE! 2XL are finally here! We now have 2XL in most of the shirt designs. So check it out! MERCH PAGE
Also, we've succumbed to the pressure and have put up a new song
on our myspace! It's a track off of our latest album, "The Traveling
Vampire Show," called, "Your Ghost!" Let everyone know about it, spread
the word, get hooked and do something evil. Let it be your soundtrack
for all late-night brushes with Death! www.myspace.com/Calabrese
Don't forget to check out our new video for "Voices Of The Dead"
on Youtube and tell your friends to check it out!
Calabrese YouTube Page
Subscribe to our Youtube account so you will stay up to the minute when we post new
videos. Do you have a Calabrese video to post? What are you waiting
for? Post it today!
07/01/07
New poster for sale! We call it, "The Traveling Vampire Show," which is
great for those who only bought the CD on itunes, 'cause you can now own
the ass-kicking artwork, too! We also have a new Merch Page which now
allows you to buy individual buttons and stickers. Check it out! MERCH PAGE
For the month of July, any t-shirt order will receive a signed 8x10
glossy of the band. You can pretend you're getting it for your little
brother, but you know you really want one!
We also dare you to post more Calabrese videos on Youtube! If you have
some video of a show, post it for our friends overseas so they can
experience the live show, too! You can also play air guitar or lip-sync
to your favorite song or post a secret message to other Calabrese fans
or to us. For legal reasons, we don't suggest posting any grave robbing
or Satanic rituals with our music in the background. Unless it's
really, really cool!
Also, just a reminder, to help spread the rock and roll evil you can
write a review of any of our CD's on Itunes, Interpunk, Amazon, your
website, your blog or your myspace! Don't let the elitist music
reviewers be the only ones with something to say!
And don't forget, we have that exclusive shirt at Hot Topic that you can
buy directly at the store. It's limited, rare and evil!
06/01/07
We dare you to come join us this Friday, 06/01/07, 9:00PM at the
Chandler Cinemas in Arizona! Midnite Movie Mamacita presents the WORLD
premiere of the Mischief Maker Media production, "Voices of the Dead,"
starring Calabrese! Come watch the new music video! Come watch a rock
and roll show! Come watch a horror movie from hell, too! Meet and
mingle with the cast and crew of our new music video and watch it for
the first time (and your last?) on the big screen before we blast it to
Hell on the internet!
Due to mysterious threats against our life, we now offer the Vampire
Skull design as a kick-ass t-shirt! Which, of course, can still be
purchased as an evil back patch. Who has time to sew on a patch when
you can just slide into a shirt and paint the town red? Get one now!
Also, Hot Topic has once again released an exclusive Calabrese design
that we like to call the "Calabrese Zombie!" You can only buy these at your
local Hot Topic stores, so if they don't have them in your area,
threaten them with some chain-wielding street justice! Or you can
easily use the store locater at http://www.HotTopic.com, call the store number
and ask for the manager, if you don't feel like going wild! They
should be able to ship in a t-shirt from an Arizona store. The store
stocks this shirt as item CALABRESE-HTZOMBIE so if you ask
them to order one for you and they deny its existence, tell them that the item name is CALABRESE-HTZOMBIE and barecode # is 907027-003 and revel in your rock and roll victory!
05/02/07
Just when you thought you couldn't purchase anything new from
Calabrese, we now reveal our new "Voodoo Bat Patch!" This evil, purple
patch holds hypnotic powers that even Dracula would be proud of! Sew
or safety pin this demonic patchwork to your clothing and get ready to
fill your journal with some crazy stories and strange
visions. Experience heart pounding adventure! Control the minds of
your enemies…or loved ones! Owner assumes all responsibility!
We're really excited about heading out to the midwest to
play for you monsters! Below is the current tour schedule, but make
sure to check back to our site and more importantly, the venue's site for
possible last minute updates. We don’t want you to make the trip to
a canceled or re-scheduled show you had no idea about! Our Illinois
show has already been re-scheduled to a new location. And always
remember, if you can’t get into the venue because of age restrictions, we will
still be out in the parking lot ready and willing to hang out and meet
you. We don’t always get to head this far into the midwest so we
want to meet as many people/vampires face to face as possible!
Due to popular demand, we now have for sale black, front buttoned, collared work shirts
with our Calabrese "Death" logo on the back. These are the
same ones we have been wearing on stage, will continue to wear and will be
buried in! Now you, too, can pass yourself off as “one of those guys
in that one band!" If you're familiar with the brand Lucky 13,
you'll recognize the same poly/cotton styled material. But be
prepared for a whole new style of EVIL!
DEATH WORK SHIRT
Black, front buttoned, collared work shirt. (Not Shown) MERCH PAGE

While supplies last, we will be sending 8x10 promo photos with every
t-shirt order for the month of March. These are the same ones we sell
exclusively at shows, so if you haven't made it to a show, now's your
chance to participate in the evil!
We have been getting a ton of support from you guys in making our new
album, "The Traveling Vampire Show," a huge success in 2007. For those
of you who have been asking how you can help, here are a few more
ideas...
* Blog about the new CD on your myspace and blogspot sites. Tell others
what you think about it. Every bit of exposure counts!
* Turn your myspace into a strange vortex of evil with Calabrese banners
and contact table images! ( Available on our myspace blog)
* Make myspace bulletins about "The Traveling Vampire Show," add a
Calabrese song to your profile and add us to your Top Friends list!
* Become a reviewer on online stores. We a big believer in the power of
Amazon.com, Itunes and Interpunk.com reviews. If you bought a CD that
from an online store that allows for review, please let the world know
how great the album is!
* Wear your Calabrese t-shirts as much as possible and especially when
you go to shows. The best advertising is word of mouth. If you believe
in a band enough to wear their t-shirt it really gets people attention.
(We are also honored when we see someone proudly wearing our shirts).
* If you host a radio or podcast show, know of anyone who does or listen
to one that would benefit from playing our music, please get us in
contact with them.
* If you write for a magazine/fanzine/website or know someone who does
or know of one we should contact let us know.
* Help us play a show in your town! Contact us with local all ages
venues, local promoters or local bands.
As always, thank you so much for your never-ending support. It means so
much to us and we are forever grateful!

form! Thanks for sending all your evil thoughts and Halloween Packages

The contest to "name the new CD" is going strong, with thousands of

great ideas, they keep getting creepier and ghoulish, which is exactly

month, and reminiscent of "13 Halloweens," we will hold a contest to name
this Opus Macabre. Once the name is determined the artwork will begin.

We'd like to thank everyone for taking the time to participate in the
Coffin Case Contest, and we'd like to share what evil we discovered.
Suprisingly, myspace was not the greatest means for people to hear about
Calabrese -- word of mouth was. So keep on telling your friends, wearing
your t-shirts, vandalising property (OK, you can forget that last one!)
but just tell people offline about Calabrese, because that's even more
important than just your online friends! And now, the moment you've been
dying for. The High Counsel of Death Rock has made a decision, and the
winner of the Coffin Case Contest is...Brett Stokes from Colorado! We asked Brett to
send us pictures once he receives it via Carrier Vampire Bat. Congrats
Brett, you now possess a piece of Calabrese Horror Rock History and hey,
we now possess your soul!
The proliferation of Calabrese's involvement in the Independent Horror
Industry continues! Get ready for a new Horror/Comedy from Abyssmal
Entertainment called "Hoodoo For Voodoo," featuring the ghastly tunes of
yours truly, Calabrese. "When a group of college kids win a trip to New
Orleans for Mardi Gras, they soon find themselves on a rollercoaster ride
of survival as bodies drop left and right. The workers at a local Voodoo
tourist trap suddenly begin turning up dead, and the group must bind
together and stay alive to figure out who is behind this most wicked plot.
But, hey, who can be inconvenienced at the biggest party of the year?"
Premiering Late Summer, 2006!
06/01/06
Calabrese has inked a deal, in blood, with our good friends at Horror
High to bring death, murder and evil to your cell phone. For only $.99,
you can purchase and download ringtones for "Midnight Spookshow" and
"Backseat Of My Hearse." Check it out here:
Now when you leave your cell phone on at the movies, you will not annoy
the movie going audience, but spread the music of Calabrese!
Announcing new shirt designs! We manufactured two of your favorite
designs that you voted for on the Calabrese Ouija Boards. We agree that
these two designs hold the most visual impact when worn to the mall,
graveyard, or in church!
Last month we forgot to thank Nil Failstorm for getting us in contact
with the Producers of "No. My Other Possessed-Zombie Girlfriend.", which led
to our music being featured in the film. We'd also like to thank Nil for
bringing to our attention to the Fangoria Weekend Of Horrors, which we
will be playing on June 3rd in California. We hope to see all you horror
movie fans there!
P.S.
Last month to enter the Coffin Case Contest and win a part of Calabrese
History!
To announce our newest Death Rock Sponsor, Coffin Case, we will hold a
contest for one lucky Neck Biter to win Bobby Calabrese's authentic,
used and abused Coffin Case (this is the same coffin case that's been
with us in the studio and on the road across the US). Bobby's Coffin
Case will be signed by the whole band, smeared with virgin blood and
filled with a few demonic surprises. This contest will be open for the
next THREE months and to enter, all you need to do is send us an e-mail
at Contest Email telling us how you heard about
Calabrese. And at the end of the three months, one random winner will
receive a piece of Calabrese Horror Rock History!
05/01/06
Thank you for making this possible! Thanks for voting for us!
You did it again! For the second year in a row, your votes have made
CALABRESE the winner of the Phoenix Newtimes Music Showcase. Once
again, you made Horror Rock #1 in Phoenix, which is not a small feat,
considering Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the U.S.! THANK YOU!
As you know, Calabrese supports the arts, especially the Dark Arts. So we are proud to announce that Calabrese will be featured in another independent movie soundtrack, "No.
My Other Possessed-Zombie Girlfriend." Having read the script we know
this is going to be a twisted little horror comedy. Check out the latest
trailer featuring the song "Crizila" at

best Punk band, and we ask you once again to help us out. It's not
about winning, it's about making a statement. We want to let Arizona

Roll Conspiracy will be crushed by the Left Hand of Calabrese!

It's finally done! The first ever Calabrese death rock and roll MP4 video is
now available to download from our website The Backseat Of My Hearse MP4
or stream it and post it on your own website or myspace page from Calabrese YouTube
We'd like to thank our good friend J.D. Smith and his crew of film
school bandits for donating all the hours to record and edit this video.
You can check out what new film project J.D. is up to (and post him a msg) at JD Smith Myspace
We really appreciate what they have created for us and we hope you dig it, too.
We are still working on getting a higher quality YouTube version posted, so if you know the mystical secrets of compressing video, send us an email!

The winners of the poster contest have just been chosen, and the prizes
were attached to a bat's leg and sent on their way to their rightful
owners! To those who did not win, don't kill yourself just yet, because
we are now offering a discount on the WORLD'S greatest rock and roll wall
propaganda. If you order all 3 posters at once, it's only $12 plus 3
dollars shipping!
To all you Myspace addicts, we posted another song from "13 Halloweens" on
our profile called "Eyes Down." This will give you one last taste of the
album before we head on in to the studio, with Ouija Boards and virgin
blood in tow, to start working on our second album. Make sure you add the
song to your Myspace page to spread the Calabrese disease!
Also, we finally upgraded out Paypal account to a Business Account, so you
can now pay with a credit card. No more excuses on why you haven't ordered
every Calabrese item you've desired!
And to all you Podcasters, if you need death rock and roll music for your
Podcast show, let us know!

It's 2006 and it's the end of the world! Live it up, rock out and be
evil before the atomic bombs drop! Don't believe us? Check out 20 End-Of-The-World Prophecies
for proof of the approaching global annihilation!
Since you don't have much time left, now's your chance to order your
very own 11x17 Calabrese poster (scroll down). We have 3 designs to choose from, and
for only $5 each, you'll have enough money to buy extra ammunition, gas
masks or a combo of the two (your choice). These posters are 20 points thick, thicker than 12 point standard poster paper. They are shipped
in cardboard mailers so they won't end up torn.
But for those who like to gamble that the world is not ending
(and aren't in a hurry) then you can enter the contest to win ALL 3
POSTERS signed by the band. All you need to do is answer this mind
numbing question and send your response to PosterContest@CalabreseRock.com
. What do you have to lose?
The question: Who won the contest for the last album and came up with
the title "13 Halloweens?" I bet all you people who ordered the songs
off of iTunes and burnt it over the internet are kicking yourself (the
answer is hidden somewhere on the album!). At the end of the month,
we'll pick 3 correct answers and notify the winners by email.
And in another announcement, we are "laying to rest" most of our t-shirt
designs in anticipation for several new designs coming in 2006. So this
is your last chance to order the Cala-Brains, the Shrunken Head and the
Spookshow Records t-shirts. At the end of the month we will remove the
shirts from the website and sell the remaining quantity only at shows.
Calabrese Poster - Rock & Roll Spooktacular! MERCH PAGE
Love them or hate them, Hot Topic has been a great supporter of
Calabrese by getting us into the malls of America to help spread our
rock and roll infection! This month, Hot Topic is honoring Calabrese by
making us the featured band of the month in the Neighborhood Noise
section of their website. They have dared to delve deep into our minds
and lives to bring you the best interview known to man. Now you will
finally know who our first crushes were and what Davey's favorite noise
is. Check it out!
We are also proud to announce our latest death-rock sponsor, Monster Guitar Picks! We've had some custom Vampire picks made up for us, and
since we're such nice bloodsuckers, we'll be sending them out along with any orders made this month. Just another great reason to buy "13 Halloweens" for the person
you hate for Christmas!

October is gone, Halloween is now done and over with, but holy hell,
what a fantastic October/Halloween it was! Thanks to you guys, we
played some intense high energy rock and roll shows over the last few
days that surpassed our wildest expectations. There was blood,
shrunken heads and lots and lots of death-rock evil. You guys keep
surprising us!
In other Calabrese news, we are now selling a special edition Calabrese
patch. It's a high quality,
1" x 3", embroidered patch that combines, through dangerously mad
scientific procedures, both the Calabrese and Spookshow logos. A great
addition to any black leather or straight jacket!
Halloween is almost upon us! For those in Arizona, you'll be happy to
know that we'll be playing 6 shows through-out the state during the
month of October. We dare you to visit the Invasion Page for more
details! A personal highlight is the show with our idols, The MISFITS,
on Monday, October 16th at The Venue of Scottsdale, and the
GREATEST Halloween night of your life at The Four White Walls! We will
be giving away real, severed hands, fresh shrunken heads and live,
disease filled rats! What other horrors will we have in store for
you? Join us and find out!
We wanted to show our appreciation to you guys for your great support
(without you, there would be no Horror Rock Scene!) so we asked our
sponsor, MerchMonster, for some killer stuff to give away for a few
lucky death-rock winners. What do we have to give away? We have
ourselves a box of t-shirts and we want YOU to win one! Just send us
your name, address, and SHIRT SIZE, and we will once again assemble The
High Council of Death Rock and Roll, randomly pick out names, and send
the select few a free MerchMonster Brand t-shirt!
And of course, make sure to check out MerchMonster online at http://merchmonster.net/
09/04/05
We have assembled the High Council of Death Rock and Roll, and have chosen one
lucky winner for the free tattoo at Inkbomb in Chandler, AZ! We put all the
entries into a hollowed out pumpkin, blindfolded ourselves, recited delirious,
satanic incantations and randomly pulled Tiffany from Mesa as the winner.
Not only will we send Tiffany the gift certificate for the free tattoo from
Inkbomb, but we are also sending her a copy of "13 Halloweens" for tattoo
inspiration!
We're sorry not all of you could win, but to ease your
growing, desperate pain, we are now selling our newest GLOW IN THE DARK t-shirt,
the "Hypno Skeleton!"
This shirt will guarantee you all sorts of eerie stares as you
cruise the streets at night! The shirts won't be ready until the middle of the
month, but we will accept pre-orders ASAP! Also when you order the "Hypno
Skeleton" t-shirt you get a signed drumstick from Davey (while supplies last)!

First off, we'd like to announce another sponsor to the Calabrese Rock and Roll
Horror Show; InkBomb Tattoo in Chandler, Arizona! (www.InkBombTattoos.net) If
you are 18 or older and live in Arizona, you can experience the demonic and
demented artistry that is InkBomb by entering your name and address into our
drawing for a free tattoo!
with your full name and address, and we'll enter you in the drawing. We will randomly draw the
winner at the beginning of next month, but your chances are raised if you send
us human blood and under-the-table bribes! But even if you don't win, you can
still get a 10% discount by just mentioning the world's greatest death rock and
roll band, CALABRESE! For a taste of tattoo macabre, check out the work that
Donavan has already inked on Jimmy:

Secondly, after crippling online threats and court orders by the
Pentagon to take down our forums (the "anti-rock conspiracy" at our throats once
again!) our Ouija Boards are back up and running! The good news is that it's a
more secure message board and you won't get hit with anymore disease filled
virus's, but the bad news is that you will have to go through the painstaking
process of re-registering. And we lost all the old posts so you will once again
have to re-type how great we are!

Thank you vamp-rockers for making the Phantasm Death Rock Tour a deadly
success! From Fort Collins, Colorado to Ypsi, Michigan, we finally came
face to face with the dead-icated Horror Rock fans that are keeping
this scene alive! We were excited to meet old friends and to create new
ones, as well. We'd also like to thank all people who helped to set up
and promote shows (Larva Rice, Nicole Childress, Kevin "DEATH" Keippel, Big Tony)
along with all the great bands we played with during our path of rock
and roll destruction (Nuke And The Living Dead, The Afterdarks,
BrainsBrainsBrains, The Corpses, The Fury Kings, The Coffin Lids). This
tour proves to us that the Horror Rock/Punk/Boowop Scene is fueled by
some of the most creative, fun and demented people we've ever
met! You're all just dowright sickening! Check the Ouija Board for
tour ghost stories and haunted pictures from the historical first ever
CALABRESE tour, which we'd also like to invite you to add your own.
Ouija Board
Also, you can check out a review of the Lawrence, Kansas show at www.horrorwoodbabbleon.com
once and for all proving that live, we will rip your hearts out,
hypnotize your brain and drink the blood from your convulsing, rock and
roll infused body! And who says that Calabrese shows aren't the
greatest shows in the world?!
We'd also like to mention that last month we won the "Arizona
Infusion of Music Award" for being the best punk band in Arizona www.aimawards.net. Further evidence that CALABRESE is the World's Greatest Horror Rock band!
And last but not least, you will die in seven days if you don't
support the Horror Rock Scene! We claim that we're the "World Greatest
Horror Rock Band," but there are other great bands out there among the
dead, too. Purchase these two Horror Compilations we are featured on,
This Is HorrorPunk 2
and The Horror Of It All to get reacquainted with what death rock and roll is all about!
06/01/05
THE CALABRESE PHANTASM DEATH ROCK TOUR!
Be
prepared, demon death rockers, the INVASION will begin in June! We've been
talking to you vamps for a few years now via the internet, and now's your chance
to meet us face to face! It will be our first time leaving the Haunted
Calabrese Manor and we need your help to make this the best Calabrese tour
ever! Spread the word in your town, post show dates on any message boards and
on Myspace, round up your Death Rock Club and head to a show! We even have a
few dates to fill, so if you can, please help us get added to a show that might
be happening on one of those nights in your town. We'll even play in your dirty
basement or living room! Let us know if you can help!
To get your blood
flowing and head buzzing for the "The Calabrese Phantasm Death Rock Tour!",
we've uploaded a new song called "Zombie I" on Myspace, which we highly suggest
you check out: www.myspace.com/calabrese
We
also want to make mention that Hot Topic is now stocking the world's GREATEST
horror rock album, "13 Halloweens," so if you haven't picked up a copy yet or

suggest you purchase one there!

CABRAS based
