Thank goodness! The humidity has ceased for a day. The temperature is cool and comfortable. A summer without air-conditioning can really soften a man.
So the band has been on a 2-month show hiatus. Jon and Ryan went to Japan, they are now cultured I'm sure. I watched a lot of Travel Channel while they were gone, trying to catch up. Evan was a businessman and is apparently a chiseled stallion. Paul has gone to at least 5 baseball games. Jim is a now a free man and part French. Zach made our money, wrapped a rubber-band around it and slid it under the mattress. Katie's little men got hair-cuts and formed their own militia. Justin traded in a female saxophone for a male one. As for me, I've been enjoying this lull, as well as preparing our 20 new songs for the studio in September. We plan on having a couple 2011 releases to make up for our lack of new music this year.
This summer has been drenched in world rhythms, tropical sounds, hot days, cool beaches, pretty girls, breezy naps, ripened fruit, homicidal mosquitoes, sun-drenched afternoons, nights on the farm, waking up with a vacation brain, de-humidifiers, sticky hugs, basement bars, grilled meats, half-pints of ice cream, healthy crops, and amazing friends.
We can't wait to get back to the stage on September 10Th in Dekalb. We have been working hard on the new songs and will have a handful for you to hear. The show is at Otto's nightclub and is a part of the 'Middle-west Fest.' There will be an insane amount of bands playing all weekend. Here is the schedule for the night we are playing.
