[ Couldn't get your free RK pirates single at a fest this summer? Have no fear...it will soon be available in stores for $1.99. Can't wait that long? Go download the single "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" here! Larry and Bob from the VeggieTales decided to follow in Relient K's footsteps and cover a song also...On the single due out in stores, catch the Larry and Bob polka version of "Breakdown!"
[ The fame of Dermike Mabado, Relient K's buffalo mascot, has been quickly increasing. Catch him crowdsurfing across the country at summer fests all summer long. (See him at Alive Fest here!) You can also check out his very first photo shoot here.
[ Look out (or listen..out..) for Relient K music on MTV! They recently asked for the rights to their music for "Road Rules" and "Road Rules vs. Real World: The Extreme Challenge."
[ Thanks to everybody who went out this past year and bought "The Anatomy of the Tongue In Cheek!" All of you who purchased a copy helped push record sales over 100,000 units! (Now go by more..make it 200,000!)
[ Yep, the boys have recorded a song for the upcoming VeggieTales movie, "Jonah." Steve Taylor and Russ Long helped mix it, and you guys can all look for it when the soundtrack comes out. It's about pirates. (title:"The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything")
[ The guys will be hitting the road again for a short tour this spring. Catch the tour dates at itickets.com! Don't get to see them this spring? Well, don't worry..just head over to relientk.com to view their new tour journal and keep up with 'em!

"Sadie Hawkins Dance" was picked to be played during the episode of the WB's Smallville on March 19th. The song was played during one of the first scenes where Clark Kent and his friends were walking through the hallway at school. If you missed it, watch for the re-runs this summer! (The title is "Nicodemus.")Smallville has played music from other Christian bands such as Lifehouse, Jennifer Knapp, Vigilantes of Love, P.O.D., and the Juliana Theory. See the full list here.

You'd think that with less shows this year, the band would simply just be taking a break after the two past jam-packed years of touring and recording...but that's not the case this time. They've been away recording songs for upcoming projects for later this year. Some songs include "Overthinking," "For the Band," "Trademark," "More Than Useless," and "From End to End." If you catch any of their shows this year, they'll be playing a few new ones. Check itickets.com for the list of dates.

Hey, this site has finally been up for a year! It's hard to believe..2001 flew by. The one year anniversary took place on New Years Day. Thanks to everybody who visits here regularly, posts on the message board, etc...this site would be nothing without you guys! Keep emailing me what you'd like to see on the site at rkfanclub@hotmail.com.
[
The boys will be heading down under this week (on the 15th) to Australia! They will be traveling down with the Supertones, among other bands. They are scheduled to be part of several festivals around the continent. (Remember, it's summer time down there!)
