good sports. . . .

Well we may not be climbing the top 40 charts and we don't qualify for your favorites from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and today, but we are popping up on radio in some interesting places. I heard from a few people today that they heard us on KXNO radio in Des Moines. What's interesting about that is that KXNO (they stream the show from 3-6pm) is a sports talk radio show. They have a guest host this week (Jon D. Miller from Hawkeye Nation) who happens to be a new and vocal Nadas fan. He is using our music before and after every commercial. Apparently today he made his way through the whole coming home record. I wish I knew more about sports so I knew what they were talking about, but this is amazing to me and I couldn't be more honored. To me this signifies success. It is different, but more legitimate than some of the other manufactured success you see in the mainstream. This guy has honored us by including us in something he is passionate about and introducing us to countless amounts of people. A few years ago a dedicated fan did the same thing working at a call center. He/she somehow got our music on the hold tape for gateway computers. I can't tell you the number of people who called to tell me about that. This is how a band like us succeeds, if everyone finds their own way to introduce us to a new and unserviced audience, we will succeed. Examples . . . . dental hygenists playing us for patients as the administer the laughing gas, or furniture salesmen handing out fliers with every purchase, or coffee shops playing us while people try to wake up in the morning, the options are endless and we appreciate them all. I guess what I am trying to say is . . . .

THANK YOU!

Jason and The Nadas

Hey guys! I totally love your music! I just checked in to ask if 2 of you remember singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on the news in Des Moines around this time last year? Cause I was totally there. I was one of the girls in the angel cosutme that was singing with you. I was the blonde one who you guys let hold the guitar! :D
Anyways, just wanted to say hi!
Toodles,
