Mere and Team USA!


So, here's the big Mere news of the day/month/year: NBC and AT&T announced Mere's participation in the US Olympic Team soundtrack. That's about as big a deal as an unsigned band with day jobs can possibly hope for. We'll be joined on the soundtrack by Sheryl Crow, Three Doors Down, Colbie Caillat, Army of Me, Nelly, and a few other big names, and NBC will be using the music and a video we shot for its Olympic promotions.

So far, there have been stories on today's announcement in USA Today, CNN Money, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and, oddly, Mobile Crunch, so Mere's been getting some good name-checking.

It's crazy/awesome that we're being included on an album with such big names, but Brian wrote the perfect song for it and the video looks great. I'll post details on where you can check out the video/song/album as soon as I can.

We're busy building the Mere fan club out in Denver. When you're all rich & famous & start touring, I want backstage passes to the Red Rocks show.

Mere... so hot right now.

That's awesome! Congrats. I hope when you get famous, you'll remember all us little people.
