Over the years Billy Harvey has been playing his own brand of Post Modern Pop, working not only as a songwriter but also as a
producer (Charlie Mars, Bob Schneider, Slaid Cleaves, and Steve Poltz are among his credits). A prolific writer, he has been the
recipient of the International Songwriters Award for Best Rock Song “Frozen Through”, and broke into the Top 100 on the CMJ
Charts with his 2007 release "Bearsick". The caffeine-addled do-it-yourselfer has also been quietly directing, animating, and editing
the accompanying music videos to his records.
In February of last year Billy shot and directed a documentary film entitled “EVERYWHERE NOW". Filmed entirely on his laptop
camera Harvey intimately chronicles a 7000 plus mile tour in a car powered by waste vegetable oil. From crossing the continental
divide on a sheet of ice to digging through oil dumpsters in the freezing cold, what follows is a near epic journey of endurance and
self-discovery that is both beautiful and at times harrowing.
2009 brings with it the release of Billy’s new album "The Everlasting War". Harvey has clearly out done himself this time around.
This record teems with raw emotion and heartfelt sentiment so succinct it is impossible not to be affected by it. Harvey has a unique
way of taking even the darkest of horizons and implanting the tiniest little sun so that the listener is sure to walk away with the hope
of a new day. This record plays like a love letter. To a girl, to himself, ultimately to us as we are invited to participate in the clear
honesty of his words. Standout tracks include “Let This Be The Day”, “One Mississippi”, and “Desperation Mambo”.
Billy's website has won various media and internet awards including the Interactive Design Award at South By Southwest and the
Flash Forward award in NYC. Please visit it here…www.billyharvey.com.

I've been enjoying Everlasting War repeatedly on my long commutes to work. It keeps me sane. Just wanted to say hi, and I hope your tour is going well so far. Take care, have a rockin good time, and come home safe :)
I just thought an old face would drop by and say hi. Maybe one of these trips when I'm up in Austin I'll actually get a chance to come see you again. Possibly even in Houston. Do you have any shows coming up down here?
You're going to be at Fitzgerald's!!! I saw Wanda Jackson there back in 2005. LOVE that place. Great "down to earth" venue! I hope I can make it to see you. I remember you played with Bob Schneider at Luther's Blues in Madison, WI. You are awesome!
Video documentation of a performance piece by my friend Nate Kassel who rode around on his bike slapping high-fives to people who were trying to hail taxi cabs in NYC. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!
Hi Billy! Hope things are going well for you in Cali and you are getting settled in. I hear the new record is excellent and I will be ordering a copy soon. Take care!
