Dead Flowers EP is officially released!!!
In case you need another reason to buy this wonderful ep for a whopping $5, read this live review below from Nashville Cream
Last night, Caitlin Rose celebrated the release of her wonderful debut EP—though she did admit that she had sold a few in Murfreesboro over the weekend. Unabashedly open about her nervousness, Rose charmed the crowd and expertly showcased her myriad of talents.
1. Rose actually managed to get the crowd to sing along. (This is Nashville! She was the opener!! These people weren't even drunk yet!!!) A sizable portion of the early-arriving attendees joined the 20-year-old songstress for the chorus of "Answer in One of These Bottles," and they sounded pretty decent doing it.
2. That girl can sing. Like really sing. It was on the slower numbers that her vocal prowess really shone. She has that tone, that dynamism, that certain je ne sais quoi that many of this years AI contestants would kill for.
3. You can't teach charisma. This young lady's humility and quirkiness is undeniably alluring—it was especially cute when she took off her hat for the sad ones.

Where do we start?
We spent the latter part of 2007 revving up our engines for a busy, busy, busy 2008. We are surprised all ready at what is surely going to be our busiest year yet. And it's only January.
Stick with us, a lot of news we just are not ready to announce yet. That's how this business works, kids. But when the news hits, hold on to your granny cause it's going to feel like you just got punched in the face.
February will see the release of the Dead Flowers EP by none other than our little sweetheart, Caitlin Rose. The EP will feature SEVEN new songs, five being original Cato ditties as well as TWO COVERS. You can maybe guess by now one is the classic Stones' song Dead Flowers and the other is Patsy Cline's Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray.
Caitlin will be busy performing live in Nashville in February, visit her site to get specifics.
Nashville, do not miss Caitlin's performance at the legendary Bluebird on March 22nd!
March is all ready filling up. You don't really think we'd miss SXSW do you? Yeah, we'll be there with at least FOUR acts. Some from the label, some from the management company, all family. In fact, don't be surprised if a few our bands play all week. DETAILS COMING SOON!
Are you still reading? You should be cause this is the BIGGEST PART YET!!!
In March of 2008, theory 8 records will be releasing...
A 7 INCH!
Gasp, we know.
Our inaugural 7 inch release will be with none other than Caitlin Rose. We plan on putting her sweet little voice on wax for fans of good music. Again, details, details, details are on the way, but we're looking at possibly four songs on one 7 inch. Shut up, we know all ready. It will be ready just in time for Caitlin's debut appearance at SXSW.
We also have at least THREE (maybe four) more releases being planned as we speak, including the Shotgun Wedding LP by Caitlin Rose. Not to mention our 8/8/08 Nashville party celebrating our 8th ANNIVERSARY! That's soooo many eights!!!
And that doesn't even include what's hot on the management TIP!
Let's just get to the point shall we?
De Novo Dahl - Move Every Muscle, Make Every Sound will be released by Roadrunner on March 25th. Look for them on the road everywhere in 2008, including SXSW appearances. Think it's odd that they are on Roadrunner, YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE!!!
Check out this cool new E-CARD featuring three videos!
The Nobility - Look for them at SXSW. Everyone loves The Mezzanine! Need proof? Here you go...
Forget Cassettes - Oh man, this is good. To be honest, too good to announce just yet. Stay tuned...

Happy Holidays from theory 8.
What better way to celebrate than with Caitlin Rose singing Blue Christmas?
There isn't one single better way people.
By the way, we're up to our ears in good news about a lot of good things.
It's all very exciting, and still very much being confirmed.
But know this...2008 will be the year we melt off your face.
Happy Holidays.

SAVE MACAULAY THE BAND BREAKS UP!!!
New EP to be released as Caitlin Rose.
After four years of writing, recording and playing live, Nashville’s own Save Macaulay the Band has decided to break up.
All reference to Save Macaulay will now be made as Caitlin Rose.
With very little explanation as to what happened within the group to cause such a drastic change after so many years of a being a band, primary singer/songwriter, Caitlin Rose simply states, 'Save Macaulay the Band broke up. We're through."
It comes as a shock to many, including label head, Aaron Hartley of theory 8 records. "I didn't see this one coming at all. I've seen plenty of bands call it quits over the years but never a group so close as Save Macaulay. I just hope Caitlin can pull herself together, step up to the plate and be able to carry herself as a solo act. It can be a tough transition to make, but I'm confident she'll surprise us all."
The break up comes on the verge of what would be Save Macaulay's first release, now to be released as Caitlin Rose. It is a seven song EP, produced by Andrija Tokic, that contains five original songs and two covers, "Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray” originally performed by Patsy Cline and the title track,"Dead Flowers" by The Rolling Stones.
The Dead Flowers EP will be officially released as Caitlin Rose by theory 8 records in January of 2008. It will be a predecessor to the debut LP, produced by Joel J. Dahl and Jeremy Ferguson, also to be released by theory 8 records in the Spring of 2008.
Five new songs from both the EP and LP are now available on Caitlin Rose's myspace page.
