Hey all, Henry with the odd update here. We're still alive, working hard on our next album with Dan. Been making a lot of headway with it. Laid down seven songs so far. Hopefully we can get this mamajama in the can by the end of the year so we can get it out to you all as soon as possible. We've been tinkering away a song at a time for half the year already, and are still really excited about it. This is either a sure sign that it's something really special, or we've traveled so far up our own asses we're waving hello to Axl Rose along the way (and one hopes—nay, prays—the former is true).

Otherwise, we're taking it fairly easy at Aloud HQ as we ride out the rest of the year adjusting to life after tour. Hanging out at the homestead more and watching movies. Just saw Eraserhead last night for the first time. What the hell was that all about? If you haven't seen it, you should. Or shouldn't. I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, I'm lucky that I didn't have any residual nightmares from watching that thing. David Lynch, you are a brilliant weirdo, sir.

Anything else? We landed the Performer cover this month (as I'm sure you've all seen) which you should read, as well as listen to its spiritual companion, our post-tour interview on The Dweezil Show. Myself and the Jen hit up the Rock n' Roll Social this past week too, and it was really good to see everyone after what feels like ages. Will probably hit up the Paradise for Festival Holidad on Friday. Looks to be a good time; that is, unless Brendan Boogie gives us all mono.

Well see you around town, kids. Be well.

Henry

PS: Check out our new holiday tune, Happy Effing Xmas. It's streaming up on our MySpace page. You could get a free download if you'd just buy our shit. BUY IT.
