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!

Escape Plan Trailer III

Featuring the track Her Name Is Suicide from Escape Plan coming January 2011!

Fixin' The Mixin'

Just got a listen to the Her Name Is Suicide mix and holy shit is it sick. It's nothing like anything we've ever done before nor is like anyone else i can think of. It would be in the vein of Kasabian meets Chemical Brothers. Some serious shit for sure.

We're just making some final tweaks here and there and hopefully this record will finally be done. We're exhusted looking back and just thinking about the entire process up to now. It's been another journey of self discovery and the band is another notch older and wiser...we hope. Still a lot to be done but we are very close now.

In other news, we played a private party to 400+ people last week and it was fabulous. It was another acoustic gig but with Andy on keys and Justin on percussion it felt like we were playing a stadium. However, we have started rehearsing again and we're getting pretty pumped to get out there and start playing these songs the way they are meant to be played.

be back soon
