More 2008 News!

Well, here it is.

The news you're not gonna like. We're sorry to report, there will be no new album in 2008.
WHY???

We haven't even recorded it yet. We were going to last November, but it just wasn't happenin'. Several reasons why. One being that I was totally burnt out from 14 months on the road. My mood was pretty foul. I just wasn't into it. I'd rather make NO album than make a bad one. Which is exactly what it would've been if we did it at that time. I called it off, dropped out, got a job, and forgot about music altogether. Best thing I ever did. Disappeared into society like Eddie Wilson, masquerading as Joe West.

Then, it all started comin' back to me... Words and Music. Thank God my boys stuck with me. Gave me room, helped me through it.

We're back at it full force now, the new songs are sounding great. Really great. SO great, we realized that there was only one thing to do with 'em... TAKE 'EM TO BROOKLYN!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are THRILLED to announce that in the producer's chair will be none other than... ERIC "ROSCOE" AMBEL!!!

The prodigal sons have returned.

We will be recording at Eric's studio in July and the album will be released in early '09 on the lovely and talented Bloodshot label.

The guitars are raging, Roscoe's back, and you're gonna be in trouble,
Hey La, Hey La, Roscoe's back!!!
We will, we will rock you...Everybody...WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU!!!

Nothin' in '08. Deal with it. You'll thank us in '09.

There you have it, the worst news you'll get from us this year and it's STILL good news.

More fun and good news yet to come.

Stay tuned...
Brian
