Exciting news!  MTV has just posted our music video for ‘By You’!  Check it out-

In addition to posting the video MTV also has an article about the possibility of ‘By You’ being on the New Moon Soundtrack. 

He’s arguably the most talented and popular of a collection of musicians who compose songs about Stephenie Meyer’s vivid “Twilight” universe. Yet, if you’ve only seen the “Twilight” movie, you may not be aware of Mitch Hansen. He’s hoping all that will soon change.

“It’s called ‘By You,’ ” the affable frontman of the Mitch Hansen Band told MTV News of his latest song and video, which he’s premiering with us and hoping to get onto the upcoming “New Moon” soundtrack. “It’s essentially from Bella’s perspective, and it’s kind of a very edgy rock-type song. It’s about ‘New Moon’ through her eyes, all that pain she felt. Then at the end it resolves — in a more happy place, I should say. It’s a very emotional song.”

Read the entire article here.  While you’re there make sure you leave a comment with your thoughts about the video and about the Mitch Hansen Band being on the New Moon Soundtrack.  (Hopefully Summit will drop by and get the message.) 

Special thanks to Larry Carroll for all his support!

Amanda Bell, The Twilight Examiner, was at TwiCon 2009 in Dallas last week and she’s written up a nice article about our concert.

Here’s a little blurb-

Having just spoken with MHB a couple of weeks ago, it was easy to realize how sincere their ambitions for inclusion in the New Moon soundtrack project were. Meeting them at TwiCon, though, only escalated that understanding. The three have an ardent appreciation for the novel series and the film franchise, and their joy at being a part of the world of Twilight is marked completely evident by a single look at them on the stage.

Check out the entire article and pictures of the concert here.

We are having a blast from Dallas, Texas at the TwiCon 2009 Convention. We have enjoyed meeting tons of people. We have been interviewed by more than a dozen media experts. And we have also finally met some great “online” friends including Lisa Hansen of TwilightMoms.com, the girls from The Bella Cullen Project, Amanda Bell of the Examiner.com and we even got to hang out with Larry Carroll of MTV for the second time in just over a month!
