"We all have to believe in something, and I believe in rock and roll music. Real, raw honest vibrant explosive passionate loud and exalting music. I am willing to give my life for this music. And I am honored that a lovely person such as yourself is witnessing it." -Shawn Kyle
At present we are having a bit of an issue, and are stuck in Eastern Europe, and frankly may not make it out alive. Please see video below for how you can help get us out of this horrendous gulag...
"So this music is damn good, why the hell are you playing on the street?"- E.Olsen of the New York Times "Because we're real musicians, we play music to play music for the sake of it whether or not people are watching or if we're on a stage...what else would we be doing?"-Shawn Kyle Beauville @ SXSW 2007

I know it's been a minute... I been grindin out... The usual for me. I jumped out the frying pan into the fire so I had to focus on Buildin business. Things settlin in so I'm back on my promo. Whas goin down on your side?... 1Love...
The feelings are mutual.. Swear to you, I had "This whole town could fall apart, that would not be worse than a broken heart" stuck in my head for 2 days straight!
I just wanted to drop you all a quick line, and let you know that I sent "Whispering Sin" to my friend Wes in Miami. He works in radio down there, so maybe he can help you all out a bit. I told him I wasn't looking for a miracle, but just for him to give it a listen. The album will speak for itself. I definately wanted to get it to him before your gig in Miami on Sept 4th. Take care,
Me and the GF had a great time at New World Brewry the other night. Thanks for playing Tropic of Cancer, that was a blast.
We always have a great time rockin out, and then talking about equipment, luthiery, and freemasonry. We'll try and get to the next gig you all have in Ybor, work permitting of course. Take care.

Ok, I just got off of Youtube, and I had to watch it three times. I was watching The Beauvilles gig at Skipper's Smokehouse, and couldn't believe what I saw. Shawn, did you really crack that guy over the head with a bottle? The camera was at a bad angle, and then the camera moved to the crowd.
I'd ask if it was a stunt, but then you would probably pass it off as rock n' roll, and I'd think you were lying. Of course, you could say it was a complete set-up, and I'd still think you were lying. Now I know why Chris kept his distance while on stage with you.
I'll show up to every show I can, but I might stand in the back next time. Or at least out of swinging distance.
On a totally different note, I've written a few more songs. In the far future when we can get our schedules to match up, let's do a little recording. I'll make sure to bring toys for the cat so he has something to do this time instead of pestering us.
Take care and have fun. Afterall, like you said it's just Rock N' Roll nothing too serious....
