Welcome to OUR new website!
posted: 08/11/07
Hi there! This is an exciting time for me, I'd like to thank you for stopping by.
As you can see we have just launched OUR new website. What I mean by OUR new website is that this site has been designed with you in mind. One of our main goals was to make this site interactive - for you and me. There are a lot of things you can participate in on the new site and I hope you'll take advantage of them.
Before I tell you all about the new website I would like to first say that I truly appreciate everyone's continued support. While you haven't heard much from me in the past few years, I can tell you that I've been busy recharging the batteries. With a brand new CD in the box, I am seriously ready to rock...country style!
Now back to OUR new website! Let me point out some of its features.
Newsletter Sign Up
If you register your email address you will be the first to find out any and all new developments about myself and the band, The Kings of Cool. When new information becomes available on things such as single releases, tour dates, public appearances, videos, contests and so on we'll let you know!
Fans
Take a second to check out some of our fan mail. Send us some of your own and in this section you can send me a question, I'll try my best to answer it. If I do, I will post it on the forum.
Video
Stop in here if you want to watch one of my past music videos. Over the years I've had 13 music videos air on CMT Canada, now you can see them on www.ricktippe.com. Every month we will be taking a poll of which of my past music videos you want to see. Head to 'Pick the Rick Video of the Month' and be sure to vote. Stay tuned to see if your choice got the most votes!
Bio
The biography section features an updated biography of yours truly and for the first time, of the boys in the band, Chris, Chris and Bruce, you know, The Kings of Cool. You may remember them as the Party Down Posse. Even though the band has a new name, take some time to read up on their history by visiting their bio.
Merchandise
We have a brand new online store with new pricing and a few new items. One little surprise is a bundle of very limited CD singles and extended play CDs that we originally sent out to radio stations and dance clubs. Some of the titles are more limited than others so once they're gone, they're gone. If you are into collecting rare and limited edition CDs then this bundle is totally for you. The store will open on August 19, 2007.
Photos
This section is another interactive area of the site. Heck, I even posted some pictures I've taken! If you have a picture related to me or the band send it in and we'll be sure to post it too. Make sure you let us know who is in the picture as well as where and when it was taken.
Links
Check in here for links to our favorite radio stations, dance clubs, choreographers, fellow recording artists and other music related sites. If you have a site you'd like to link to us please let us know and we'll get'er done!
Talent Buyers
A special section where talent buyers can log on with a private password and get access to our press kit which contains publicity photos, an official press biography, technical requirements and the Rick Tippe promotional video.
New CD and Contest coming soon!
I have a new CD coming out in November. It features ten new songs that I can't wait for you to hear. Unfortunately, this CD doesn't have a title yet. You may have noticed along side my picture on the home page there is a white box that contains the heading 'Pick The Name of Rick Tippe's New CD Contest'. We are going to run a contest here at www.ricktippe.com where you'll get a say on what the CD title should be. One lucky winner will receive $1,000 plus some other cool prizes just for taking the time to tell us what their favorite song is on my new CD. Everyone else who enters will receive $5 off of their first copy of my new CD when they order it here at www.ricktippe.com. Be sure to register your vote! The contest will start in September and run for six weeks into October. This is gonna be FUN!
So, kick off your shoes and stay a while. I hope you enjoy OUR new website. We will be actively keeping it up to date so if you have any comments or ideas please let us know. Like I said earlier, I can't wait to get out on the road with The Kings of Cool and play our new music for y'all!
Thanks for stopping by, come on back now ya hear!
- Rick
