Since the date was pushed all the way back to August 21st, the guys decided to put out a 3 song EP on the original release date. The songs are Lose It, No Subject (Come With Me), and The Fortune. I'm pretty sure The Fortune was the song when they recorded us clapping at the bubble hah.
Also, Cartel is playing a MYSPACE SECRET SHOW! with The Rocket Summer tonight at The Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta, GE. The show is FREE, all ages, and starts at 7 so get there early before it fills up!

New Video Calls For New Looks
Cartel spent yesterday in LA making the video for their first single "Lose It" off the new record. You can look through all of the pictures on their buzznet.
AND Joseph Pepper followed through with what he said and shaved his beard into a mustache. It does look very different but it isn't unbearable, just as long as he grows it back. On the other hand Will is now sporting a nice goatee...


Although I cannot wait for Cartel's new album there are several other albums coming out this month. TOMORROW The Rocket Summer's new album "Do You Feel" will be in stores but it's not too late to pre-order it now!

Hey Everyone!
Band In A Bubble has been over for a couple weeks now and I still find myself checking the website, watching videos, looking at pictures, and still writing on the message boards. But alas, it's over and us Cartel fans must look towards what is in the future, THE NEW ALBUM! I'm just counting down the days...
I've decided to try and continue this blog as my official Cartel fan blog. I doubt I'll remember to update this as frequently as I would like to but I'll try and write about all of Cartel's updates, shows I go to, and things of that nature.
Since Cartel has been out of the Bubble they have changed the date of the album release from July 24th to August 21st. I do not know why but I'm just guessing they had trouble with production of the cd's because a month is a pretty fast turn around. Besides that, the band has also announced their next headlining tour with Nightmare Of You (great band, if you haven't heard of them you should definatly check them out) and Weatherbox. Here are the dates as of now:
Aug 25 2007 7:00P Rocketown Nashville, Tennessee

Show Timeeee
It's almost time for Cartel the break out of their bubble that they've been stuck in for the past 20 days and I think they're starting to get a little nervous. To get pumped up they started running around in circles hah.

THAT WAS SO COOL! haha

The show ended so... they went back in the bubble?


It was an amazing night, I copied all four episodes onto a dvd haha. And the concert went awesome too if you missed it you can either watch it on drpepperbubble.com or here http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1562402&vid=156637

2 Hours And Counting...
SOUNDCHECK!! WHOOO YEAHHH.
I'm so excited for this!

And now they get to just hang out until it's bubble bursting timee.

The Colonel stopped by the give the guys some more chicken.


Joseph, Jeff, and Will resort to lying on the floor after the furniture in the bubble is taken away.


Tonights plans might have to be changed around a bit since it's been pouring down rain for the past hour. The boys watching their dedicated fans standing outside in the rain.

Nic and Jeff get the crowd up and cheering

The webcams are slowly de-activating... =[
I'm starting to get somewhat emotional haha. I've already said this a billion times but this has honestly been an awesome experience for me. I feel like I've really gotten to know all of the guys individually and I feel like I've been part of their experience and It's going to be hard to just all of a sudden let go.
Discussing the weather patterns hah

Well, this is it.
If you haven't already be sure to download Cartel's first single "Lose It" off of iTunes!
Today is officially Cartel's last day in the bubble. Tonight at 8pm they will burst out of the bubble and perform a live concert which will be broadcast as the final episode of Band In A Bubble so tune into MTV and watch! This is making me sad, I've felt like such a part of this process for the past 20 days. Tomorrow I'm going to be like where's my boys?? Hah I'll miss stalking them but I've loved being able to watch them record this album, as I said before it's been real hah.
Theyre talking about what's going to happen if it starts to rain hah.
Jeff- "As long as we can get drunk afterwards, I'm good."
"It's definatly going to rain..."
"We've got a bunch of Debbie-downers here"
This is all that's visible to me as of what the stage looks like.




They've got all their stuff ready and packed and they're moving everything out.



And now they're just waiting around.
Joseph's model pose?

Some of Will's family just arrived, aww there's too little girls they're adorable! hah

Joseph and Nic claim their self portraits.

Jeff- "Man I have nothing to do until 830"
Some guy- "What are you gonna do?"
Jeff- "I don't know... I'm just getting drunk somewhere."

CARTEL'S LAST NIGHT!!!
Tonight is Cartel's last night in the bubble! I can tell they're all excited about the big day tomorrow, they probably would love to just bust out right now. I can barely see anyone because they're setting up the lights for tomorrows show, which looks spectacular by the way.
Joseph- "It's like the last day of school, you want to leave early but you have to stay."
The boys are currently walking around singing "Umbrella" by Rihanna haha.
I guess I can play where's Cartel right now......
I spy WILL AND KEVIN!


I spy Joseph? Soundcheck at 9:50... that's cool? Him and Jeff are playing the "I name a song, you play it" game.... "SILVERCHAIR! SABBATH! WEEZER! ZEPPELIN! JOSEPH, LED ZEPPELIN! JOSEPH, BEETLES! JOSEPH, LED ZEPPELIN! JOSEPH, NOVEMBER RAIN! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE! GREEN DAY! SMASH MOUTH!!" ok i'll stop now they might do this for awhile... haha. it's very amusing.

Well after playing that game for about 20 minutes, they started to practice for tomorrow night! They just played Lose It, and I already know almost all of the lyrics to that song haha.


Cool lighting

SET LIST FOR TOMORROW NIGHT!
Lose It
Runaway
Burn This City
New Song- the one that starts off with a gang verse that Kevin and Jeff recorded.
Tonight (i'm not 100% sure if this ones right)
New song- i don't know the name
Diddy
Goodnight boys- it's been real. I'm going to miss stalking you for the past 20 days of my life. It really has been a great experience being able to see how a record is made. I feel like I'm more connected to you guys and that I've really gotten to know you even though you don't know me haha. Can't wait for the new album, I'm waiting till 12:01 so I can download Lose It off of iTunes!
