UPDATE: Thanks so much to all who submitted. We got an amazing sample of singing talent from around the world, and are already working to turn you all into a super epic choir. Congratulations on your upcoming Bubs debut!

Did you ever hear us sing 30 Seconds to Mars’ “Kings and Queens” live? Were you missing that huge choir at the end of the original? That’s where you come in:

Listen to this file – Bubs_Choir_Guide (either click to play or right-click “save as…”) – and record yourself (or your friends, family, neighbors, pets…) singing along after the four clicks. Use whatever you can to record, whether it’s a professional studio setup or an iPhone, then send the audio files (mp3, WAV, AIFF, etc.) to us using the form below.

Please put your name (first name only is fine) as the filename when you upload so it’s easier for us to keep track of submissions.

For best results, please listen to the guide on headphones while recording, and make sure you read the fine print below.

Bubs in the Pub is just a week away! Full of a year’s worth of songs, skits, senior goodbyes, and even costumes, join us next Friday, April 29th, in Cohen Auditorium on the Tufts campus at 9pm for the biggest show of the year. You can buy your tickets at Tufts starting Monday, or you can purchase from a limited number of tickets RIGHT HERE (for $22):

UPDATE: Thanks to all who came! It was a fantastic way to end the year.

The Beelzebubs are holding their annual Spring Auditions next Wednesday night, April 20th, and we want to see you there! If you’re a male, and you enjoy singing, come on out and audition! To sign up for an audition time, contact Kent McCann at kent.mccann@gmail.com or call him at 508-277-2223.

I invite you all to join us this weekend, on Sunday the 17th for the 21st Boston Regional for the Harmony Sweepstakes! The show is hosted by the Bubs Foundation, and the funds from the show go towards the Foundation’s support of vocal programs in Boston area public schools. For information on how to purchase tickets, visit bubsfoundation.org, or for more information about Harmony Sweepstakes, visit the Harmony Sweepstakes page. Hope to see you there!

Tickets for our Spring Show on Friday, March 4th will go on sale this Friday, February 25th in the Tufts University Campus Center. A limited number of tickets for the 7pm show will be available on bubs.com for $16 at 8pm on the 25th.

UPDATE: Tickets for the 7pm show are currently sold out online. Keep checking back for further announcements or get your tickets at the Campus Center.

We’re excited to announce that “Right Round” (from the recent single) has been nominated for a Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award for Best Male Collegiate Song! Check out the rest of the categories and nominees here and check out everything about the single here.

If you’ve been hoping to see the Bubs this semester, check out the schedule over on the Concerts Page!

LAST UPDATE: Check out the album page for the single, conveniently designed to answer your questions about the who and where behind the music.

UPDATE 2: It’s up on iTunes! Get it here: Right Round / Sweet Caroline. (Come back here later on for the liner notes if you have any questions about who you’re listening to.)

UPDATE: In anticipation of the upcoming release, we’d like to share the artwork [at right] and a little clip of the songs RIGHT HERE.

It is with great excitement that we announce that in just a few days the Bubs will be releasing an online-only single with all proceeds to go to the Bubs Foundation. It will be a double-sided single of Right Round and Sweet Caroline and will be available on iTunes starting this Friday, Dec. 3rd.

The Bubs are so honored to be in the position to finally give to the Bubs Foundation in a meaningful way. We appreciate all that the Bubs Foundation does and we hope that this release can help the Foundation dream bigger than ever before. Thanks to all on the board (past and present) who have forwarded the Foundation’s mission for the past 20 years.

We’ll post a link to the songs (both here and on Twitter) once they go live, but if they still don’t satisfy your Bubs fix (or you want to remember what we sound like live) come to Winter Show on Friday! In the meantime, please join us in drumming up support to benefit this great cause.

Ladies and gentlemen, come join us for our annual Winter Show in Goddard Chapel at Tufts University on Friday, December 3rd at 7:00 and 9:30pm! Come to see more comfortable new guys, never-before-heard songs, and maybe something you’ve heard on TV before…

Head over to the Concerts Page to check out this semester’s schedule and figure out when you can see the Bubs live!
