Because we weren't sure what to name the van, we decided to leave it up to our fans to come up with a name. So we started a "name our bio-diesel van " contest. Since starting the contest, we have had some great name submissions, and a lot of interest in the contest. The contest is coming to a close, but we want to allow you a last chance to submit your name. The band will narrow down their top 5 choices and post them on our web sites. Once the 5 choices are voted on, a winner will be announced and the van will be named. The winner will not only receive a free copy of our new EP plus 2 concert tickets to one of our shows in your area, but also have bragging rights as the person who named the van. E-mail us your submission at info@soulmajestic.com. Be sure to include your idea and contact information for chance to win. Here is a picture of the van, but keep in mind that we do hope to paint it soon, so the color may change, Good luck to you! e-mail us your idea New videos posted on the Soul Majestic YouTube Channel!!
