More KTG on TV
Two of our songs from our album Touch will be appearing on
a show called The Block on MTV's N Network, their nighttime teen channel.
We don't as yet have
information on the airing schedule of the show, but it is supposed to premiere
this year. The two songs are Alive (which appeared on an ABC primetime show
last year) and Control. So, I guess one of my dreams since I was a
teenager of being
on MTV has come true. Though, not exactly the way I planned. Stay tuned.

Speaking of radio, our song "Alive" was on the Top 40 rock chart of
QBS Radio Doha in Qatar for 14 weeks and went up to #3! Radio Doha's charts are
decided by the listeners and most of the songs are by major label bands. If you
know a radio show that's open to playing independent music where Kiss the Girl
would fit the format, please contact me and let me know. Thanks!

KTG's New Album
Our new album, Touch, will be released some time in June of this year.
It's our finest effort to date and builds from the sound we started
on
our
first CD released in 2000
- passionate songs backed by strong, sensual grooves - we call it "classic
rock meets the urban underground." The cover art will feature the
word
"Touch" in many different languages. The theme
of the
album
is making
connections with other people, and also living life to the fullest, being
alive, awake, aware. These are songs that will move you and make you
move, so please pick up a copy when it's available. Touch took us a
year to finish. We're really proud of this one.

KTG Music on TV
One of the singles from our upcoming new album, Touch, called Alive
will be appearing on a Canadian show in February and on the ABC Family
Channel in the United States this summer! Our licensing representative
thinks this will be the first of many placements on TV, film and related
media
due
to
the
strength
of the songs on our upcoming album and the thematic, soundtrack quality
that our music has. Check back here for more details as the US airdate
approaches. And sign up for our mailing list so we can keep you up to
date.

KTG defends live music in SF
Robert headed down to City Hall recently to speak in favor of granting
a local SF bar, The Blackthorn Tavern, a renewal of their live music license.
He talked about the threat to live music in San Francisco, which has been
suffering ever since the Dot Com gold rush a few years back, and the cultural
importance of music to the city. He also wrote the petition which was
signed by neighbors and vendors in the area. The license was in danger
of not being renewed due to noise complaints of a small number of residents
near the bar. Fortunately the license was granted. The story appeared
in the local paper, including quotes by Robert.

Two new KTG singles
Just finished mixing two new singles, "Ride" and "Control." "Ride"
was a problem child, and we did three mixes before getting the result
we
wanted.
Afterwards,
thankfully, "Control" was more merciful and came together rather easily.
We’re really excited by the results. You can hear samples of the
songs on the sounds page.
