After Party

Celebrating at the after party with one of the hosts of the big event. Needless to say we represented Canada very well ...the entire week!!

Surrounded!

We were swarmed by a group of local school kids who just wanted us to sing! We were happy to see some of them at one of the shows a few days later.

Magnum Force!

Brent, Justin and Shawn endorsing the local energy drink Magnum! Best ad campaign EVER!

Drink Stealing Monkees!!

As you can see, these monkees go straight for the good stuff! Brent got a huge surprise as one monkey steathily ripped the drink straight from his unsuspecting hands. However, this guy wasn't so lucky!

Rehearsals

Rehearsals have been going very well. The new songs are sounding amazing, so much fun to finally be playing these songs. The old ones have new life, which is refreshing. I like what we're doing with Me Against The World, it's got a cool new vibe yet maintains the charm of the original. I'm really liking Escape Plan and regretting it even more that we didn't record it for the album. Will it be odd that the title track isn't on the this album, but the next one?

Promise is killer! We're playing it like it's the last song we're ever going to play. It's bleeds passion and intensity, as it should.

Old Jizzoey is holding things down on the keys, really great to have him back. Justin is kicking the shit out of the drums and couldn't be a better fit for us! Things are really great in TAE nation right now, we're focused and pumped about the St. Kitts tour. Beyond stoked about the release of the new disc and lots of cool stuff planned.

Stay tuned.

Here's To 2011, Can We Final Release This Album?

As we tip toe into the new year, closing the door on 2010 with a subtle thump, we find ourselves in a state of overwhelming anticipation. We're beyond stoked for the release of Escape Plan. It seems all we've been doing is talking about it, believe me, no one could be more tired of hearing about it than us. We're determined to make it awesome so we've decided to get a couple tracks mixed by some old friends. We've asked Mike Borkosky to handle Night Time and we've sent Promise to our friend Yohann in Paris to see what magic he can make.

In the meantime, we're currently rehearsing for our week long residence in St. Kitts in the Caribbean. We've got to thank our manager Cat @ Selective Image Inc. for all the sleepless nights she's incurred over the past 2 months putting this together. It's kind of a first ever Pop/Rock event at Carnival Village at the St. Kitts resort and yours truly will be headlining the event. Needless to say there's lots to be done between making the set list and choosing the proper SPF!...Fuck it!! We're going for the lobster look.

Now excuse me while I try to find my lime green flame embroidered speedo!
