Hiya.
It's with great sadness that I write to you today. No, no one's died. No, Colin hasn't quit the band...yet. I'm afraid to say that I writing today to inform you that Purple EP has been delayed.
Before I give you the normal prerequisite bullshit about us taking our time and really squeezing everything we've got into the album (of course we are, every artist should), I want to say that it's simply because we can't compete with American Idol compilations or another Harry Connick Christmas album.
See, we're small time. We rely on word of mouth and blog and magazine reviews. Can't really create a buzz in a sea full of noise, ya know? So we're going to wait until the first or second week in January. We feel really good about this album and we also feel it deserves its own spotlight.
The same promotional deal exists though. The album will only be available for download on this site for the first month and you can pay what you want for it.
In Juice news, we were all really happy when Jorge, the manager of the once-beloved-now-defunct, Eleven Leprechauns called up and said he was resurrecting the location under the new name "Chicago's Tavern" and offered us another residency. I know Colin, Sean, Phil and I always had fond memories of the place and we're excited to start another tradition there. Our first show is next Friday, the 30th of October.
We're also pleased to be doing a benefit concert for St. Jude's Children's Hospital on October 27th at The Rock at UM. If you haven't already, please take a look at that place and see why it's one of the greatest places in the world and deserves your donation.
Ta ta for now.
T
