Sorry for the lack of updates, but we'll plunge into the new year with a renewed vigor. I will not use the birth of my daughter, Lilly, as an excuse for not writing in December.
Since we last spoke, Chance played at A Winter's Tune, to high regard. I haven't heard if the Chance selections will be made available for mp3 download, but I'll have a link should it happen. The full band united for a show at Billy's and a show at Founders. The Founders show featured 6 new songs, and sounded pretty good according to Bol.
The band continues to track new material and songs for the upcoming release of Friction. Apparently Friction has some new things happening that could prove beneficial to the band. I don't know how that will play out, but it could be interesting. "Spring" is what I'm hearing for a finished album, as yet untitled. I think the plan right now is to track as many demos as possible, then bring the finished demos into the studio to cut quickly for release. The "Letter 11" album of reworked solo songs is on the back burner, as far as I know. The older songs might be cut right along with the new album, since they don't require any, or much, demo tracking because of how long the band has played them live.
While there aren't any new shows coming up soon, I imagine that the band will be performing at the Jammies next month. Look for an update on that as soon as I get confirmation.
Summer looks like it will be a good time to catch the band on tour.
All in all, the first half of 2009 should be a great time to follow the band. New songs, new album, the Jammies, summer tour. Good stuff all around, hopefully.
