TAPING, A SUCCESS!!!

No Better Cause would like to send a special "THANK YOU" to everyone who attended our live taping last weekend at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Lincoln. We had somewhere between 350-400 people there to see the show, which is awesome! We couldn't have asked for a better audience, either. The crowd was definitely enthusiastic and loud!

A couple of us have started mixing the audio from the concert, and the audience showed up extremely well on the recording. And, tomorrow, we will begin editing the video to get our promotional video created. After that, it is likely that we'll start mixing the entire audio and video so that we can release a new live album and live DVD.

This is really exciting for us, and we wanted to thank you all for being so incredibly supportive. We'll have more updates as soon as we start getting things edited for release.

Yours,

Annnnnnnd...On Sunday, October 2nd, we're inviting all of our loyal fans to
Lincoln for a show at St. Mark's United Methodist Church where we'll be doing a
free concert. But, this is no ordinary concert. We're actually recording this
one. We'll be video and audio taping the entire show. No Better Cause is
planning to use this footage to put together a nice promotional video for
people who book the group for shows. BUT, the entire show will be recorded.
And, if the quality turns out well, we will probably be releasing a LIVE No
Better Cause CD and DVD. So, this will be your chance to be a part of No Better
Cause history by possibly being in the video and on the CD. It's a ways off,
but we're really excited about the possibility. And, we'd love for all of you
to be a part of it! Here are the details:

get to see the best of everything. Come out and check it out!

That's all for now, folks. We hope that everyone is having a great summer. And,
we'll look forward to seeing you and a show soon!

Yours,

Upcoming Show/Summer Update

Greetings!

We hope that all of you are having a great start to your summer! Things are
going well for us thus far this summer. We've spent the past three weekends in
different cities in central Nebraska (North Platte, Hastings, and Grand
Island), we visited two of those cities for the first time in the group's
history. And, we've got a number of places on our schedule for this summer that
we have never visited. Things are definitely off to a great start!

We wanted to let you know of another big opportunity coming up in the next few
weeks. On Saturday, July 9th, No Better Cause will have the pleasure in hosting
one of the biggest influences in contemporary a cappella music for a concert in
Lincoln. Sean Altman, the founder of world-famous vocal group, Rockapella, will
be performing live with No Better Cause.

Sean Altman is responsible for writing the infamous theme song for PBS hit TV
show "Where in The World is Carmen Sandiego?" He has also written songs for
many major recording artists. Altman now tours regularly both in the US and
abroad with just he and his guitar. But, although Sean isn't performing
regularly anymore with a cappella groups, he still has a huge presence in the
world of a cappella music by writing and producing albums for many groups out
there today.

This is an incredible opportunity for No Better Cause to perform with one of the
true pioneers of contemporary a cappella music. Prepare to be amazed by this
unique writing style of Sean Altman on July 9th. We hope to see many of you
there. Here are the details for the show:

Who: Sean Altman & No Better Cause
Where: Saint Paul United Methodist Church (The Underground)
When: Saturday, July 9, at 8:00 p.m.
Cost: $5.00 per person at the door

Please feel free to write back to this e-mail address with any questions you may
have. This is going to be a great show! See you all soon!

Yours,

Nate, Luke, Michael, Ryan, Eric

Nebraskapella 2005/WOWT Channel 6

Hello!

First, a special thanks goes out to everyone who made it to Nebraskapella to see Eric Kiple give his first public performance with No Better Cause, as well as see No Better Cause perform a concert with one of the best vocal groups in the world, m-pact! The whole evening was very successful, thanks to you. We hope to make next year's Nebraskapella (the third one) even bigger and more exciting! Any suggestions and help would be appreciated.

We're also a little late in telling you this, but, this past Thursday, No Better Cause performed in Omaha at the Gene Leahy Mall as a part of WOWT Channel 6's Summer Concert Series. We had a good turnout, and were even lucky enough to sing live on TV for a little bit during the noon hour. Commercials were playing all week prior to our performance, and the reviews by the Channel 6 News team that evening were great! We felt that we got a great deal of exposure in the Omaha area, and look forward to whatever else comes from that performance. And, at the end of the summer, we'll be calling on No Better Cause fans to vote for us to return to Omaha at the end of the summer for the encore performance. The winning band will get to return to close out the summer concert series. More on that later.

Thank you, once again, to everyone for your support. We've got a lot of big things going on this summer, and we'll look forward to seeing all of you at our shows very soon!

Yours,
Nate, Luke, Michael, Ryan, and Eric
