| Comments: | This has been one hell of a year, good and bad! January we lost a bass player, February started recording the new CD, March we tried out bass players that didn't even bother to learn the songs, April we hired Matty on bass played 2 shows,Rob quit and we broke up, May we got back together with no bass player again, June and July recorded some more tracks,August we called Matty back to the fold, September I signed a publishing deal with Universal music and flew to Nashville to sing for Bombshell Crush's last show, October we played the Whiskey & Gameworks, November we recorded "Vampires In Love" for the upcoming Butch Walker Tribute, December we have been working really hard to get the CD finished and hope to release it soon. See, I told you what a year it has been, like a roller coaster. Here's to a better and more stable 2006!
Cheers, Shane |

We are also doing "Vampires In Love" for the upcoming Butch Walker Tribute CD to be released in December. The all new CD will be ready next month with the first single going to radio by the end of October. "Love Had To Die" (the single) will show the bands maturity and is the best song that I think I have written to date.Can't wait for you all to hear it! Cheers, Shane |

| Comments: | Well here we are in September now, man this year is flying by! Last week I flew in to Nashville to sing for the band BOMBSHELL CRUSH and had a blast. I wish the guys luck and hope to have Denny Smith help me with a solo CD that I want to do in the not so distant future. Go check out www.bombshellcrush.com.
BEST OF SEVEN has been busy rehearsing and recording lately.WE have our first show back SEPTEMBER 16 at GAMEWORKS in LONG BEACH!! Matt is kicking ass holding down the bottom end and relaunched BIG ASS MOTORS! Rob is starting to look like "Sexy" Charlie Tanzie with his 3 second ab workout...look out ladies!!! Joe is busy with his comic writing and learning obscure KISS songs from the Crazy Nights CD. I, am the proud owner of a Pro Tools studio and hope to learn how to use it soon! Still waiting for the Universal deal to launch next month and loving and hating my Trans Am. The family is great, man time flies! September will be a busy month of birthdays and the anniversary of the passing of my mother in law. There will be alot of tears for Vicki on the 16th. Thank God we are playing that night, I know she will be there in the front row cheering me on. I also want to offer prayers to our friends and families on the Gulf Coast. Rob and I moved from Biloxi Mississippi to Los Angeles in 1991. We lived on the coast for 3 years.I am saddened to see such devistation to such a peaceful place. Please give to the RED CROSS they are doing a great job of helping people. Unlike a certain administration (that I did not vote for)! Shane |

| Comments: | What kind of world do we live in, when someone goes up on a stage and shoots band members and fans for no reason at all besides stupidity. Rob and I had the opportunity to hang with out with Darrell more than a few times and can tell you that even though he played aggressive music he was a kind and gentle guy.In fact we visited their club in Dallas and Vinnie and Darrell played our music, provided us with refreshments and were great guys.In fact even invited us to their house for an afterparty(unfortunately we had to decline we had shows to do the next day).Anyway, the band would like send our love to Vinnie Paul and the Abbott family.
Dimebag's influence and sounds will live on forever! R.I.P. |

| Comments: | You can get a virtual Ticket for BEST OF SEVEN'S NOV. 27TH Show at THE WHISKY in HOLLYWOOD, CA and watch the whole show via webcast....click here http://www.musicticketlive.com/HomePage.html . While at the site, read all the details. They provide a sample video so you will know what to expect. You can view the show on the normal screen size or click to full screen. I watched the sample video without having any problems. I then emailed asking if there was a limit to the number of viewers who could watch the performance. I also asked if too many viewers would cause the video to freeze my computer, knock me offline, or continue to stop playing. I was emailed back with the following information:
Tracy you should have no trouble at all. If you do, call us during the show at 310-446-6412. We also will refund your money if you are not satisfied. Thank you, Music Ticket Live.com I hope you enjoy!!! |

| Comments: | VAMPIRELLA MAGAZINE, NO. 7, OCTOBER, 2004, BEST OF SEVEN ARTICLE
BEST OF ITS KIND: BEST OF SEVEN ROCKS WITH "EVERYTHING" LA-based Best of Seven pounds the stage with their brand of rock. That's right, simply rock. Don't try to label them, insists frontman Shane Tassart, just listen. You'll probably like what you hear. The new EP, "Everything is New Again," is five tracks show-casing BO7's blend of modern rock with classic riffs, excellent vocals and catchy lyrics. Tassart takes a little time out of a hectic schedule to chat about the Best of Seven live show, Peter Criss and a bit of celebrity. It's not always pretty, but it's rock and roll, and Tassart wouldn't have it any other way. VAMPIRELLA MAG: Let's take a look at your major influences. SHANE TASSART: KISS was my first influence, especially Peter Criss (I started out a drummer). I met him a few years ago and told him that I didn't know whether to shake his hand or punch him out for leading me into the music business. He asked for a handshake. He was a cool guy. V: The band's been described as "Nu-Breed Rock." What does that mean to you? ST: I have no idea what it means. I have just always said that we were an alternative to the alternative. Listen, no one that is making music is reinventing the wheel. It is still the three basic chords over and over and over again. V: What do you think of labels? ST: I remember growing up and listening to the radio; you would hear so much variety. Now, they label everything into these stupid formats. Rock 'n Roll is Rock 'n Roll, why label it anything else? V: In 10 words or less, tell us something about the rest of the band. ST: Joe [Casey, lead guitar and vocals] keeps me on my toes because he plays Devil's Advocate a lot and helps me see what I sometimes miss. A talented guy who knows how to work the stage. Darrell [Arnold, bass]: A true promotion king with a heart of gold, also one hell of a rocker! Rob [Wood, drums] is like the older brother that I never had. To use 10 words to describe him is way too hard. He has always believed in me and I will always appreciate his loyalty. No matter how many times I fuck things up! He sometimes is the Best of Seven show! V: How does a live show feel? ST: Our live show in honestly our biggest selling point. We have the Cheap Trick Syndrome, we have yet to capture the energy we have live in a sterile studio. You have Joe, jumping up and down rocking, Rob the human cartoon, Darrell, Nikki Sixx's long lost brother, and me and my Les Paul begging for people to love me. What. A. Show! |

| Comments: | Great performace last night in Hollywood. Glad I got to make it.
This televison broadcast is going to show the difference between a band simply playing music versus what Best of Seven does... a Live PERFORMACE with "big bang for the buck" and of course....great music. Thanks FHR |
