Hey everyone.It seems to cliche to apologize for not blogging in so long, but I already mostly explained my reasoning before.
Fans of the band: I wish I could be completely straight forward with some answers for all of you, but some things must be kept under wraps, and I don't even have answers for a lot of your questions, which are my questions as well.
You could say that I am extremely, extremely frustrated that our album isn't out yet, and that we're not touring...
... but please know that we are fighting with everything we have to make these things possible.
The music business can be an exceptionally cold, cold, cold industry, and I hope we can melt a little of the ice with this record.
Many of you have asked me some frequent questions, so I will give you updates, even if it's not what you or I want to hear:
-Is the album done?
Yes. We finished tracking the record last February, and it was mixed and mastered shortly after.
- When will the album come out?
We unfortunately do not know. We have undergone many changes. We have parted ways with Atlantic Records. We have switched management. We have a new lawyer. We have gone through a period of waiting for a legal mess to be cleared up. The results will follow. It may shock you, but it is what we had to do to progress, and become un-attached to the contracts.
- Will you be touring soon? Will you come back to Asia?
Yes and yes... but we have no immediate actual plans. We are doing our best to regroup with our new team and somehow get this going.
- Why don't you tour the states frequently?
- The honest answer is, because we can't afford to play shows outside of our main markets right now. Do we want to? Absolutely, but we're looking to gain a little more success to do so. We miss you.
These are not the answers I want to give, or that you want to hear, but I just felt like some sort of update was necessary. The band, more than anything, wants to share our music with you. It drives me absolutely insane every day that our album sits on a shelf, and everyday we don't get to play a show.
I'm hoping all of this happens for a reason.
Thanks for being patient, becuase I certainly have a hard time doing it myself.
Peace
