First of all...HELLO TO EVERYONE! If you are reading this....thank you so much for supporting us, even in our short hiatus! It really means the world to me personally! I (as well as Mathieu, Ryan, and Nick) have worked so hard to get to the point we are at...and it is only with YOUR loving support that we are here! We need that support more than ever NOW!
So...the last 4 months.
I wish that I could say that when we finally signed a deal, life got easier. Life got harder. Work got harder. Everything has been an uphill battle for us, as a lot of you know. It has only gotten worse since we signed! Worse, in a good way....if that makes any sense?! I certainly did NOT expect to be off the road for 3 months. But, "these things take time" as I have been told. I have not been successful in my life from waiting for things to happen...so...I got a tough dose of "chill the eff out" over the break.
I spent my days waking up at 4:30 in the morning and going for a run, a short workout, coffee, myspace work, WRITING FOR ALBUM #2, and honing my "chops" endlessly! I began to dive into classical music, and Pantera! Those influences will show up more and more...and yes, it DOES work!
Enough about the break.
So, we all fly into Atlanta to begin rehearsals for tour, write some new material, and shoot the video. We crash the Hancock pad, assuredly inching us closer yet again to the "worn out our welcome" threshold. They rule for lending us their home and studio to rehearse in! We began busting ass...everyday to give you the tightest, most impressive live show we can, and loved every minute of it!
That is all you get for now! ha! Im kidding of course...no one wants to read this shit anyway!
Cannot wait to see all of you on the road this year! Thank you again for everything....we are NOTHING without all of you! Now....GO BUY THE ALBUM!!!!!!!
