Hey there,
Just checking in again from the road. We just had a day in Evansville, and took the opportunity to go see the new Batman movie. It was a good one, long but good. We had a show on Sunday in Hershey, PA and it was the last one for a bit with Hinder - Austin's going to get married. Finger 11 hooks up with the tour now which is cool - I like those guys. It's funny - now every band on the bill was produced by Johnny K - us, 3DD and Finger 11 - looks like we all have something in common.
We actually start some headlining dates next week. I think we have about 10-12 days or so on our own before we hook back up with 3DD. I know during that time we play Sturgis - which I'm really looking forward to. I wish I had my bike out with us so I could go riding but it'll be cool to be there and play at the Buffalo Chip. Should be interesting. Also during that time our record comes out - pretty exciting!! All I know is that August 19th is coming quickly. It seems like we just finished the record and it's already coming out.
We'll be in New York for a few days around the release doing press, playing and I think a show on the day of release. We just got confirmed to do Howard Stern again - which I'm psyched about. I love doing his show - besides I listen all the time. I'm sure it'll be a pretty hectic week but it'll be nice to finally let people hear what we've been working on. Hopefully people like it - I know we're proud of it.
Our video for 'Believe' is up on YouTube now and it premiered on Kerrang.com in the UK which is pretty cool. If you get a chance, check it out.
Anyhoo, that's about all I got - hopefully we'll catch ya on the road.
See ya
Mike
