A good Praise Unit week

Hi!

This week has been a great Praise Unit week! The choir, and some of the musicians, have gotten together three times and rehearsed, set some dancemoves, and many of the solos have been recorded in Tobias studio.

Here are a couple of photos from one of the rehearsals in Stockholm.

Download the first song from the upcoming album!

For a limited period of time, the new Praise Unit song "No Better Than You" from the forthcoming album "The Mission Field" is available at www.frizon.nu. Frizon is a Swedish festival where Praise Unit will be performing their new songs for the first time on the 6th of August 02:00.

Here you can download the song for free. On the right side of the page, where it says ANMÄL DIG HÄR!, type your name under Namn:, your email under E-post:, click Ja if you will attend the Frizon festival, Nej if you won't, and last, answer in a few words why or why not you're attending. Click OKIDOKI and you will be forwarded to the download page.

Did I mention that it's free?

So, what are you waiting for? Go there NOW!

Rehearsals

Tonight we have the first of three rehearsals with the choir this week.
It'll be fun to meet each other again after people being scattered over the country and the world during some summer weeks! Our main focus will now be on our gig at Frizon the night between the 5th and 6th of August. We have a whole new show to put together!
Hopefully we'll be able to post some pics from tonight's session!
Hope you're all good!

Nashville, TN

Right now I'm in Nashville....I'm on a roadtrip with my wife and her sister. Everything is so great and we're having a great time. And at home the work with the album seem to proceed real good. Even though I'm not home and even though I won't be able to join PU on the first gig with the new songs I get the emails about it....it's so exciting to see the progress.
And I almost regret I'm here instead of there.....almost. It would be so nice to be there but....what to do. I have my sheet music with me and I'm trying to take a minute here and there to rehears.

I'm so excited to hear the album and I hope you are too....

Please keep these following weeks of work with the CD and the release in your prayer.

Bless you all!

Some friends of ours in Germany sent this link to us
http://www.trutv.de/tru-video/tru-videos/tru-praise-unit

It is a recording of our show as opening act for Mr.Kirk Franklin in Hannover, September 08. Check it out! And don't forget to send us your best dancemoves!

Mixing The Mission Field

The mixing sessions for the upcoming Praise Unit album has begun. My job is now to make every voice and instrument sound as good as they possibly can. This weekend I've been working on the first song "No better than you", not your typical Praise Unit song. Can't wait to hear your reaction!


This is what the song looks like in my program Pro Tools. Looks great, doesn't it?

Post your best dancing moves!

Hi everybody!
Have any of you who read this blog seen Praise Unit live? If you have, or maybe you've watched the live DVD, you know that a live show with us is not really what you might expect from a gospelchoir. We don't stand in an ordinary choir line-up and we NEVER stand still! We love to move to the music, dance and hopefully get you guys in the audience going! But all this also means alot of work to get the show together.
Me, Felicia, and Sara are in charge of the coreographies for the new live show, and we're really excited about it! But one can always need some help... right? So...
If you have any good moves you think would be suitable for our show, please film them, post them on youtube (or equivalent) and give us the link!

Hope you're having a blessed summer!
Felicia
