Michael Talks About His EP

This is a new Mikey vid. Well, not really. It’s about a month old.

Mrs. Betsi Castro sent me some links and after feasting my eyes on some intense animated eye candy, I eventually found this gem of a video.

Some of you may have already seen this, but for the benefit of those who have not, here it is:

Enjoy the hotness!

Thanks Mrs. Castro!

Michael’s EP (Another Update)

From MCas’ twitter:

I’ve decided, for all your support I’m just gonna sign all the EP’s that have been ordered so far!

Ain’t that grand?

He has been busy printing shipping labels, so the EPs will probably be in your mailbox very soon.

P.S.
Hey, how come no one is helping him with all these EP burning, printing and shipping stuff?

WTH?

Update on Michael’s EP

According to Michael, the CDs will be sent out very soon to those who had ordered them.

Mikey’s EP can be availed of either by buying the CD only or going for the second package, which includes a digital copy along with the CD.

The downloadable links for the digital copy had already been sent out to those who had pre-ordered the EP.

There are 6 tracks on the EP and you should go order a copy if you hadn’t already.

Here’s a video of him singing one of the songs during a recent gig:

The EP is Finally Here!

Well, not physically. lol

But pre-orders for Michael Castro’s EP are now being accepted!

Click to order.

The Digital Copy goes for $5.99 and the Digital+CD is $8.99.
The lovely single “Home”, which he sang during his interview at 103.7 will also be on the EP.

Let’s support Michael!

Michael To Perform at the Well Done Awards

Yep, that’s right.

Our boy, Michael Castro, will be singing at the Well Done Awards, at The Grove in Anaheim, California on May 31.

And according to rumors, his big bro, Jason, will also be making an appearance at the same show.

I sure hope we see some pictures afterwards! 🙂

Michael Vids From the Texas A&M Concert

Here are a couple of videos taken during Michael’s set when he opened for his brother Jason at College Station, Dallas last March 28.

Unfortunately, the videos are dark. But the audio is clear so it’s still worth checking out if you want to hear Michael’s performance.

And my favorite, Hindsight 20/20. This is a really funny song.

He did great, didn’t he? It’s hard to believe that he only started performing less than a year ago.

He’s out there now, singing in auditoriums, and even making his own music.

This goes to show that if you have it, you really have it.

Michael’s First Solo Show

.

Oh wow! we got not ONE, but TWO update bulletins from Michael.

Here’s the second:

IN OTHER NEWS
I have my first little solo show in my hometown of Rockwall comin up on the 14th. So I’m spending all day every day writing and learning songs. I have a bad habit of writing a song and then moving onto a new one before i even learn the first one! So now I have to learn em all in a rush!

That show is kind of a small private thing I think it was sold out a while ago..BUT I was asked to open up for my brother at his show at Texas A&M at the end of March…so as far as I know i’m still on for that

Also the newer songs I’ve been writing are getting interesting! They’re getting bluesier by the minute! I just like the freedom of blues style music…I dont like structured songs too much. Not to say all my songs will be blues style but i’m definitely feelin it. I dont like when music is perfect and structured. It doesnt seem real…I like people to miss a few notes and get carried away sometimes.

I also made 2 new friends that I write really well with back home in Texas so thats awesome.

.

I’m really looking forward to hearing his new songs. Perhaps he’d sing those on his first solo show.
Too bad I don’t live anywhere near Rockwall. 😦

If you have the chance to catch his gig, do it! He sounds good, he looks good. What more can you ask for? 😉

The Real Message From Mike

Confusion.
The Planet Kidz website has a “Message from Michael Castro” addressing why i cancelled my last 2 shows with them. I did not write that message nor was I aware it existed until just now.

It says I had to cancel the shows because the producers called me back onto American Idol. This is not true. Obviously there must have been some SERIOUS confusion as to why I had to cancel the shows. Anyways I didnt write that message and it’s not true.

I will not be appearing back on Idol.

Sorry for the confusion.

A Message From Mike

UPDATE 3.09.09

I have confirmed that the following bulletin was posted by a poser on the Planet Kidz site. I apologize for the confusion.

From the Planet Kidz Website:

.

Hey Kids! I am sorry to have to do this to you all but I am having to cancel my tour on March 6th and 7th at Huffines Middle School and Burleson Community Center due to my upcoming reappearance on American Idol. My producers notified me last minute that I had to be back in California this week. I do sincerely apologize and just know that I had a blast with all of you who came to my shows! I wish you all the best!

Michael Castro

Cheer up kids, I’m sure he’ll be around for a long time! There will be other chances to see him. 🙂

Michael Castro Live in Houston

.

Here’s a vid from Michael’s Planet Kidz gig in Houston, Texas on February 20.

Michael sang an original song during the event. The title escapes me as of the moment. So I’ll have to get back to you on that.

He also performed covers of popular songs such as In Love With A Girl and This Boy.

Enjoy!
