New Love and Theft Song
Hey y’all! I apologize for the lack of updates for the past few months, but as y’all know there isn’t a whole lot going on right now with the guys. Times like now, I’ll be posting updates and info once I know. As soon as the news starts flowing again, I promise I’ll be updating a whole lot more like the beginning. A well-known Thefthead, Valerie, recently saw the guys on 4th of July. She was awesome enough to record a video of them singing a new song called, “Right By You.” Click here to view it, or check it out below. Enjoy!
Project ‘Thank You’
I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Weekend with friends and family. I apologize the news is a little slow, but I promise once they’re in the news again, everything will pick back up again like old times. I’m by no means shutting the site down, it will not be going anywhere. Our very own Valerie T. has come up with “Project Thank You” for Love and Theft. With that being said, below are, in her words, the details for the project.
Hey Theftheads! As you all heard, LNT is no longer with Lyric Street Records. I have been reading some articles about how they’re calling this a blessing in disguise and SBL has told stories about people telling him how LNT’s music has changed their lives. I feel like this is a good time for us to all tell them what their music has done for us personally, so I have an idea.
They all loved their birthday scrapbooks, so I’m thinking of putting together a “Thank You” scrapbook for all three of them. The purpose of this book is to tell them our stories of how their music has influenced us and how much they’ve impacted our lives (and of course, include a picture or two!). We can also include a favorite memory with the guys, but I think we should make sure the main emphasis is on the music.
I’m thinking of getting a smaller scrapbook, about 8×8 inches. Everyone would get two pages. One for a written note and the other page for one 4×6 picture or two or three smaller pictures (about 3×4 inches—I haven’t worked out the sizes yet). I also want to dedicate a couple of pages to CMA fest. Even though I’m not going, I know a lot of theftheads are so I think it’d be really special to include that.
Please let me know what you all think of this idea and if you have any suggestions or better ideas! If you want to start sending stuff, tweet me your e-mail on Twitter at @ValerieT29 or you can message me over facebook. I think most of you will probably take some awesome pics at CMA fest so you might want to wait to send stuff in until after. I won’t be going to see LNT until July 3rd and July 4th so I’m making the deadline about June 30th. I’m pretty much a pro-scrapbooker so I’ll make each page oh so pretty! If you have any specifications as to how you want it decorated, let me know.
And I know for a fact I’m not friends with some theftheads and may have forgotten to send this to some, so feel free to forward this on. Let’s include as many people as possible!
Have a happy and LNT-filled summer =D,
Val
Win a Love And Theft Flip Cam
First and foremost, my apologies for the lack of updates within the past month. Everything has been a little slow on the Love and Theft end, and hadn’t heard any news until this. I know definitely once they get picked back up soon, the news will be flowing out and I’ll be making a lot more updates again.
With that being said, Ritz & Wolf Camera Imaging have teamed up with Love and Theft to give away 5 Love and Theft themed limited edition Flip Cams. To enter to try and win one of these awesome gadgets – click here. Good luck to everyone who enters!
Lyric Street Shuts Down
Happy Wednesday, Theftheads! Unfortunately, it has been a crazy day in the music industry, and disturbing news about Lyric Street Records. Disney has decided to shut down Lyric Street Records to create and market new artists to their consumers. A promotion team is in place to market the current Lyric Street artists/groups current records. To read more information on this – click here. Once I know more information, it will be posted immediately. In the mean time though, let’s make sure we as Theftheads are doing our best to get “Dancing In Circles” to the #1 spot on the charts.
Mission ‘Dancing In Circles’ To #1
If you’re a Love and Theft fan, then you know that Dancing In Circles is the second hit from their debut album, World Wide Open. The first single, Runaway hit the top 10 on the charts, and I feel it’s time we do our best to get Dancing In Circles to #1. In this case, I’ve decided to make it our next mission as fans to accomplish in the next month. I think through all of us Theftheads, we can make this happen if we put our minds to it. Below I will list things that we need to do on a daily basis to reach our goal to make Dancing In Circles to being #1.
- Call into your local country station and request Dancing In Circles daily
- Spread the word through Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc letting other people you know to request
- Pass out flyers at any upcoming concert you go to promoting the single
- Create banners for message boards and other sites promoting the single
- Drive around town blaring the song in your car with the window down for people to hear so they can potentially get hooked and want to request the song
- And any other idea you can think of that I might not have added – let me know your ideas!
Have fun with the mission and happy requesting!

New Theftheads.com Board
Hey everyone! In case everyone doesn’t know, I’ve added a new Theftheads.com message board on the site. The last one was getting filled with spam on a daily basis, and was hard for me to stop it. The new board, I’ve made it where you have to enter letters when you register, not only that, but the highest security captcha. Also, for more added security, I have it where everyone has to validate their account to prove they are real. So far it has been working. Also, if you registered and never got your activation e-mail, you have the option for having it re-sent to you, or just let me know your user name and I will manually activate your account. Don’t forget to spread the word!

Ellen Video/Sign Project
Happy Thefthead Thursday! Another Thefthead, Samantha Green, has another Project Ellen for you all. She wants everyone to make a sign that says, “I Want Love and Theft on Ellen,” and wants whoever makes the sign, to take a picture with it or of just the sign only. Either would work. Also, if you don’t want to do the sign, make a short video telling why you want to see Love and Theft on The Ellen Show. She doesn’t have a deadline, however, try and work on it as soon as possible. If you have any questions pertaining to the project, please direct all e-mail and questions to sammie_0716@hotmail.com. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!
