This Tuesday Audio Adrenaline released "Live in Hawaii: The Farewell Concert" CD/DVD set. This emotional set showcases the final recording of one of the biggest bands in Christian music. Recorded just this April in Hawaii is sure to be a collectors piece for many Christian music fans.

However, in a stunning announcement Audio Adrenaline released a statement.

"Due to the recent overwhelming success of Audio Adrenaline Live in Hawaii: The Farewell Performance, we have decided to create a tour to promote the record. So starting this November Audio Adrenaline will once again be hitting the road with it's new tour "AUDIO ADRENALINE: LIVE FROM HAWAII THE FAREWELL CONCERT TOUR."

Just like KISS!

New Christmas Album From Underoath

Though DBW hasn't been active the last few days we have been hard at working trying to get the inside scoop... our main problem is right now everyone is getting ready for fall tours. The only news we have to report is that Underoath is currently in the studio recording the new album "Hardcore Holidays". With ,what we are sure, is an unconventional Christmas record Underoath will take us from classics like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer to Silent Night. How will a band focused on screaming lyrics take Silent Night...we assume not so silently.

Veggie Tales 2008 : Who will survive??

In a sad day in Christian media when Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, creators of the Veggie Tales, announced that in the next DVD episode one of the main beloved Veggies will die. Though they wouldn't reveal which Special Hotlines will be open for grieving Children. The Veggie Tales have been such a large part of all our lives I will for sure shed a tear during this special episode. The Veggies have never dealt with death of a loved one so the Big Idea team thinks this will be a good way to teach kids a lesson and put a character to rest... Most speculations rule out Bob the Tomato & Larry The Cucumber, these two are just to big to kill off. Junior Aspargus is likely, he is a character that was already suffering from public humiliation. His plush version was made availible in stores and sold nearly a tenth of Bob & Larry.

"We are just ready for another chapter in a Veggie Tales. One where we can introduce new characters in a darker environment. The worlds changing with Christian music leading toward the dark side we figured it was time to do the same with the Veggies."

The DVD hits stores this Christmas!

GMA Dove Awards Annouces Nominees for 2008, 2009, and 2010

Though rumors have always flown around about the "END of the Dove Awards". An official statement made by John Styll, the President of the Gospel Music Association, did not announce that the Doves were ending BUT that at the 2008 Dove Awards will not only give out the awards for 2008 but for 2009 and 2010.

Though some would say that this is just another sneaky way of trying not to loose more money the GMA assured us that they "just find it practical. If you look at the last 5 years the same people have been nominated for the same awards. It just makes sense. Also, with only 4 nominees to each category we'll either see 1 loser or 1 huge winner!"

Jars of Clay Frontman Releases first Children's Book

Dan Haseltine, lead singer of the grammy award winning band Jars of Clay, is releasing his first Children's book this September. The book is set for release on Sept. 15th. "I think will be good to introduce the younger audience to Jars of Clay and to me. Our fans are getting older and now thats it's been 12 years since Flood we need to reach that audience" said Haseltine. Though we were not given a pre-release of this book to review, we were given the title and the artwork. The book is called "The One, The Only, Magnificent Me and My Band" and features artwork that appeals to a younger audience. The question on everyones mind is

Are Jars of Clay turning into the Wiggles?

We aren't sure but Dan assured us that he wrote this book with pure intentions to reach Children with positive uplifting messages. "I wanted to write a book that reminded children that I am amazing and wonderful, and it has everything to do with me...and my band.... being alive, and having a heart and a mind and a soul. All children need to know that I am magnificent – with or without feathers.”

Well with that feathers ending we can only assume that Dan's book will be Flying High this September.

Disicple going through some changes. CHRISTIAN ROCK IS DEAD!

With the recent success of the new single "After the World" which shows a very light and much more radio friendly version of Disciple the band has decided to officially end their reign as the kings of underground Christian rock. With the new tour and new album coming in 2008, we will find the members of Disciple recording songs that " mix Brian Littrell, Mercy Me, Michael W. Smith and KJ-52" states the bands official statement.

Though Disciple will always have some rock roots its hard to look at the Littrell, Mercy,Smitty and KJ and not come up with a boy band. We assume after their tour with Family Force 5 they decided to turn to something like that. We are a little shocked and disturbed by this news. Without Disiciple who will grab the crown of the underground? Our thoughts... no one.
CHRISTIAN ROCK (as we know it) IS DEAD!

DAILY BREAD WEEKLY HACKED! JEREMY CAMP FOUND!

If you haven't noticed DBW has not made any news posts in the previous few days. This was because of a computer crash that prevented us from being able to post all the breaking stories you love to read here at DBW. When we finally tracked down the hacker through his IP address we were shocked to learn it was none other than the missing outlaw himself Jeremy Camp. After we reported the story of Aaron Shust being brutaly attacked by Mr. Camp it seemed he was a little upset and decided to do something about this. We wonder however what this will do to his rock star cred? Not only will he be serving time due to his crime(s)...but he will serving time for HACKING A WEBSITE.

Two rules to follow if you're a Christian Rock Star:

#1 Don't Get ARRESTED! Hurts the "Christan" part of your title.

#2 If you do get arrested... DON'T FOR COMPUTER HACKING! You'll look like a nerd and ruin the "Rock Star" part of your title!

We look forward to the trials as DBW prepares to sue Jeremy Camp!

We were sad to learn about Mr. Camps attacks upon us ,but we are just glad to be back in bussiness. We need to get our stuff together but new stories will return tomorrow.

John Reuben annouces "Hip-Hopping to Hanukkah Tour"

With the announcement of the new Third Day/Jars of Clay Christmas Offerings tour and the third year of TobyMac's Winter Wonder Slam. John Reuben and other famous Messianic Jews (people who believe in Jesus but keep Jewish tradition) have announced the new winter tour "John Reuben's Hip-Hopping to Hanukka Tour". This night of music and family fun will feature John Reuben, Mojo (former lead singer of the O.C. Supertones) and hosted by Logan Sekulow of the Logan Show.

When we asked Reuben who else will be added to the tour he said that"famous Jewish-Christian celebrities are hard to find. Me, Mojo and Logan are kind of the only ones. I think one guy in Third Day is, but he won't return my calls. Others... we're trying to get some new converts. We're talking to Kevin Max, who is very interested, and we just nailed down Christafari."

Reuben is also an artist for Gotee records which TobyMac founded and is the current president. We asked how he thinks Toby will react, "To be honest I haven't thought about it... He's too big to notice that I'm doing something like this that will compete with his tour... If he finds out it may turn bad. I doubt he'd be to happy with me turning my back on his tour and starting my own thing." Hearing that his boss had no idea about the tour, we of course at DBW went immediately to Toby Mac for a response.

Toby's "people" responded with a letter stating that he is "very upset that one of the artists that was on the first year of Winter Wonder Slam, and on his record label, would betray him. He is deciding how to pursue his future with John Reuben."

Later that day Toby made his first public announcement with an official statement to the press. The letter was read to the press and released immediately to the Associated Press. Toby stated that if " Mr. Reuben goes ahead with his planned tour and does not join on to Winter Wonder Slam '07, he will be released from Gotee and no longer allowed within 50 miles of Franklin, TN".

No word from Reuben yet, but if the tour still happens its sure to be a mitzvah.... LA CHAIM!

Exclusive interview with Steven Curtis Chapman - "Bringin' Back The Mullet" tour officialy annouced!

In an exclusive interview with DBW Steven Curtis Chapman announced that his new tour with Sanctus Real will be going through some marketing changes. Due to the recent success and growth of his old albums on iTunes, Steven Curtis Chapman has rebranded the tour "Bringin' Back the Mullet": A Night of Classic Steven Curtis Chapman. According to Steven they will be "using the old setlist, old band, old lighting and everything we used in my first headlining tour. This will be a great opportunity for everyone who was too young for that tour or just want to relive a memory." Steven had already started the growth on the new (old) hair style. "I love this hair. Now when I play the Great Adventure I'll feel like a real cowboy again."

Sanctus Real and Bethany Dillon have been asked to dress appropriately for the nostalgic tour as well. Sanctus will be wearing Hyper Color T shirts on most tour dates and Bethany Dillon has been given shoulder pads to insert in all outfits.
Steven was regretful to announce that he will be canceling the first week of his tour to go through Botox treatment. "I just want my face to look as child like as it did back in the day."

We look forward to Saddling Up Our Horses This Fall!

THE REAL BIO DOME w/ Stephen Baldwin to start airing on TBN and VH1

In a deal that shocked us all the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and VH1 have started production on a new reality show in the "Celebreality" genre that VH1 has become known for. The concept focuses on the real life events that happen when you put Stephen Baldwin and Pauly Shore in an actual Bio-Dome. The rumors are flying that the TBN deal came when Stephen refused to do the show unless his contract stated that his Christian messages be kept in the show. So thats when TBN jumped at the opportunity to cut together a special Christianized version of the show. Baldwin and Shore each got to pick 1 other person to live with. Shore picked an unnamed blond female to be announced on the season premiere while Baldwin picked famous Christian singer Carman.

The VH1 version will focus on the party lifestyle of Shore while the TBN version will focus on Baldwin spiritual journey. This is sure to be make television history. When Stephen Baldwin was asked why he agreed to do this show Baldwin responded with "After appearing in Scare Tactics, Celebrity Mole, 2 Sci-Fi Channel original movies, and most recently Celebrity Bull Riding, where I broke my arm, I figured I would be done with TV, but this idea seemed unique and original. Bringing back such love for Bio Dome in a real setting makes me think that God had me do that movie about getting stoned and farting for a reason. Praise the Lord Bro."

Well we surely look forward to watching this excellent adventure this fall!

BREAKING NEWS: David Crowder Arrested

Daily Bread Weekly has learned that David Crowder, the front man of the popular worship rock band "David Crowder Band", has been arrested. The police in Texas have reported that Crowder among 3 others have been detained due to running an illegal squirrel fighting ring. The police busted them in a barn in Crowder's home. One squirrel bit a police officer, rendering him incapacitated. The officer was later quoted saying "These squirrels are trained killers and have been since birth." David Crowder has always spoken on his love for squirrels, so this comes to a great shock to his love ones.

We will have an exclusive interview later today with Crowder. Keep checking DailyBreadWeekly.com for updates on this sad story.

UPDATE: Chris Tomlin has officially taken a deal that would help authorities bring down Crowder. We are unaware of the complete terms but it was stated to DBW that Chris is pleading guilty to "coercing and promoting squirrel fighting". It was also stated that although this incriminates himself, he avoids further convictions that might arise with continued investigation. We can only assume at DBW that Louie Giglio is also involved. Story still developing...

UPDATE: DBW weekly just sat down with Crowder for a short moment. He was barely recognizable. His withered appearance was shocking at first glance. His hair was, what can only be described as ,"deflated". David first stated "This is being blown way out of proportion and that there is no 'cruelty' issues at hand" and "Daniel-san chooses to partake in such violence on his own". With the unmistakable referral to "Karate Kid" it is evident that something just isn't right. David concluded the interview with "My attorney just told me that I can't say anymore to you about this, but I just want it on record that Daniel-san and Johnny were born to rumble".

This truly is "Undignified" behavior by David Crowder.

TobyMac annouces plans for four new Remix Albums

At a press conference today TobyMac announced plans to release 4 new CDs in the coming year. You may think this is a typical move for Toby but these albums are a little different. Since both his first album Momentum and second album Diverse City went certified gold last year Toby has been working hard in his studio in Franklin, TN. "These records are for all the Jesus Freaks who freaked out when both Momentum and Diverse City went Freakin Gold" says TobyMac.

At the press conference Toby unveiled his plan for the remainder of 2007 & 2o08. First release will be none other than the long awaited remix album to his current hit CD Portable sounds. This is no surprise because Toby has a tradition of the Remix album.

He then revealed that his next projection will be a remix album of the original TobyMac remix album "Remix Momentum". This projection titled "Remix the Remix Momentum". After the applause died down Toby pulled another curtain to reveal the next project "Restoring Diverse City" the remix album of his last remix album "Renovating DiverseCity".

Now this was the moment we all had been waiting for what would the fourth album be. Could it be a new dcTalk project or maybe even a remix of the Christmas EP he released in 2002? All of our guesses were incorrect when he revealed the last album will be "Toby Mac's Greatest Hits Remixed by truDog" . For those not familiar with truDog, he is actually Toby Mac's 8 year old son who has made an appearance on all of Toby's solo records.

When TruDog was asked what will be different in his remixed versions he was quoted sayings "Well I think my Dad would agree I'm going to beat all of his record sales. I've added a little bit of my own flare here and there and also rerecorded all of the vocals for a younger generation... it's going to go platinum.Let's just say the Prince of Christian Music IS HERE to say... WHERE MY LITTLE FREAKS AT!"

Jeremy Camp attacks Aaron Shust

It was just a normal day for Aaron Shust. The hit worship artist ,who's single "My Savior, My God" has been on the charts for approximately 68 weeks, was leaving his dressing room/trailer at a popular Christian music festival this week when Jeremy Camp decided it would be funny to tackle Aaron. The Shuster didn't think so as he fell into what was called by observers "as one of the bushes with spikes all over it." As Aaron fell he screamed out to Jeremy for help. Jeremy just stood and laughed.
Paramedics rushed to Aaron's side to help. Jeremy was no where to be found. Quickly moving Aaron to the medic trailer rumors spread that his performance was canceled. That soon came to a hush when over the PA a strange voice announced that "Aaron Shust will still be performing."

Later that evening Aaron Shust's band appeared. Aaron approached the mic. The show was different though as Aaron Shust performed the entire set with a brown paper bag over his head. Maybe this was for medical reasons, maybe for psychological. The show was great, all though the mask was a little distracting.

Shust is recovering fine ,but did say "[some shows] will be a little bit more chill than the usual." The following night he performed without the bag. He looked a little beat up but overall in good spirits.

Jeremy Camp is still missing.

Rock band RED called "slighty demonic" by Kentucky Church

"Very few have ever complained about our shows, and especially not our promotional material" said Mike Barnes lead singer of the popular rock band.

That was until First Baptist Somerset in Somerset, KY booked the hard rock band to preform at the Grand Opening of the new Church Auditorium. The church, which is filled mostly of people between the ages of 50 and 70, were shocked when they received a box of promotional posters for the event. These posters are usually sent ahead of time to be hung around town to promote the event. They were described by a church member as "slightly demonic." When we interviewed the Pastor of the church we asked what was specifically wrong with them "The picture shows a red glow around them with the lead singer screaming. That's not Christian."

The board decided to continue with the show because they had "already paid the band" but the poster had to be changed. Susan Shelby, a wife of one of the board members, was assigned the job. "We just thank the Lord that I have mastered computer art, they gave me the poster, I scanned it in and boom through the help of Microsoft Paint ALL WAS BETTER" says Shelby.

The changes to the poster included adding fake smiles to each member, changing the red tint to purple, adding the devil being "smushed" by one member and adding a cartoon rainbow. The church felt the new look would be more appealing to their members.

We watched as the band arrived and saw the poster. In anger the band took the stage and started the show with a cover of AC/DC's Hells Bells and walked out. Before leaving the event the band ran through the church and destroyed every poster they could find. Lucky for us Shelby had the file saved on our computer and was happy to show off the poster here at The Daily Bread Weekly.

BARLOW GIRLS ENGAGED! SORRY BOYS!

The Daily Bread Weekly would like to send out our congratulations to Alysa, Becca, & Lauren Barlow. Thats right folks the Barlow Girls are all engaged! This photo was taken by a camera phone early this morning.

According to our unnamed source the plan was setup far in advance. Here are the details you've been waiting for:

Last night the girls were having what was reported as "an unusually long" group Bible study. This Bible study was attended by the three girls, their significant others and both Barlow parents. After Praise & Worship ,which featured some of the Barlows greatest hits, the girls decided to have an "impromptu" game of Bible Drill. The first verse to find happened to be Judges 1:12. The girls let the boys read the verse out loud which reads " And Caleb said, "I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher."

When the verse was complete and the boys were declared the winner, the clock struck midnight. When the final gong from the 19th Century Grand Father Clock rang loud the Barlow Girls went down on one knee and stood up Barlow Women. That's right they did the proposing!

We wish you all happy engagements and wonderful marriages....

Michael W. Smith & Steve Taylor make more 'Chance' films

It has been previously reported that Michael W. Smith's film the Second Chance was actually part of a trilogy that had been written by Steve Taylor. Instead of shooting all three they chose the second film to make first. Since its success Smith and Taylor have been working hard on the new films. Each film will take place twenty years apart.

Production has already begun on the next film to be released . Coming next summer the Comedic sequel "The Third Chance". The plot follows what happens when Ethan Jenkins (played by Michael W. Smith) accidentally clones himself. Undisclosed sources on the set are calling Smith the next Eddie Murphy!

Following the release of "The Third Chance" they will begin production on the prequel. As the poster looks this film seems to be for the younger audience while capitalizing on the new success of musicals with kids. "The First Chance: High School Musical" will sure to be an entertaining treat.

Chris Tomlin Signs Deal with Apple."How Great is iPod" to be released.

Chris Tomlin has signed a new deal with the creative hippie's favorite company Apple. When this report was posted we had received from an anonymous party what looked to be half of one of the pages in the new contract. Our page reported that Chris Tomlin will record versions of some of his greatest hits exclusively for iTunes.

First release will be "How Great is iPod", followed by "Indescrib-iPhone", "Made to Podcast" and many more. When Tomlin was asked how about his new deal with Apple, Tomlin was quoted as saying "[since signing with Apple] I now have more iPods than Doves"

Family Force 5 Sued by MySpace

Sources have confirmed that MySpace.com is suing the fan fueled band "Family Force 5". MySpace is claiming that someone in the "Family" has broken the system and added friends illegally. When asked for a comment a MySpace executive (age 52) said "we heard the music on their page. There is just no way over 164,000 people would intentionally listen to it ."

If Family Force 5 is convicted they will end up in spending time in an Atlanta area prison. It happens to be the same prison that Michael Vick from the Atlanta Falcons will be placed in if convicted of his recent dog fighting charges. When asked what they would do if placed next to Michael Vick, Soul Glow Activator was quoted saying "HE BETTER WATCH WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT MY MAMA!
SHE RAISED ME IN THE DIRTY SOUTH!" When Michael Vick heard the threat he pulled up a picture of Soul Glow on the internet and uncontrollably laughed for over 36 minutes.

Peter Furler from the Newsboys gets Hair Replacement Surgery.

The Daily Bread Weekly has learned that Peter Furler of the Newsboys got Hair Replacement Surgery last week. This recent picture was taken by one of our undercover DBW reporters.

The known hair of the Newsboys, Phil Joel, left the band late last year.



We tracked down Phil to ask his thoughts about Peter's procedure. As soon as we saw him we knew it was Phil Joel that donated the hair.Phil looked obviously embarrased of his new hairdo. When asked why he was wearing ear muffs in the middle of the Summer. Phil responded with "No one's ever seen my ears and they never will."
