Update From Brand New

By Leave a Comment

Check out the update below form Brand New and see what they have been up to lately..

Dear Friends,

The combination of the holidays and the inclement weather has set a bit of
nostalgia upon me. Remember when we used to give you updates more often?
Anyway”¦
It has come to my attention that Brand New has basically been off tour
for almost a year now. So here is your annual festive goings on:
We have all been in the studio on and off since about March. The
convenience of recording around the corner has been great, but
sometimes a little too comfortable setting. During 2008, we have
rounded up some some pre-pro, some real-pro, and some semi-pro
material. There are about 15 songs for us to play around with and it
seems as though things are winding down and in the final stages.
We cannot exactly tell you when this record will be done, but we can
tell you that the new year will bring a bit more excitement from our
side of things. We are fully aware of how long we were gone last
time, and are not planning on staying home much longer.
Perhaps when it gets a bit warmer out”¦we will begin to introduce a new
website that will bring you endless amounts of entertaining
information. We have also talked about playing some new music
together. Outside of the dungeon.
Which means maybe”¦.”¦YOU will be able to listen to some of our new
music also. maybe.
Until then, we wanted to let everyone know that we are alive and well.
Still writing, recording, and frustrated with the lack of blood in
mortal kombat vs. dc.
Thank you all for coming to the random Brand New shows scattered throughout the
year, as well as Jesse’s shows. Any support for Brand New is
appreciated, and we are all forever thankful. More to come in the new
year.
Have a safe and happy rest of 2008, and hope to see everyone soon!
