Driving South
Hot from the 3 week break home in London I find myself back on a bus driving around North Carolina heading to a show with One Eskimo opening for Michael Franti and Spearhead in Ashville. Time at home was way to brief and unfortunately didn’t allow enough time to get more done on the Headspace album. Apologies for the lack of actual information regarding this however, as it has been a long process to write so bare with us and we should have some more concise news soon.
Interestingly watching a documentary while writing this about freedom of speech in America. It really is amazing the conviction of people’s views about religion and speech across the world, especially when armed with very little information. I guess, as the dominant species on the planet, we don’t really change very much despite our best intentions. It would seem the institutions of media that are our main source of information are believed in whole-heartedly when delivered with the appropriate level of fear. I guess our humanity is what stands in the way of actual acceptance.
Currently working on guitar tracking from the bus, not ideal but thanks to technology means we can continue to get the album finished even while apart. Perhaps catch up with Adam in LA in the next few weeks; he starts rehearsals for upcoming Ozzy shows over the summer. Caught up with Damian while I was back in London, working through vocals while we have time in the same country. Lee even fired over some new Chapman Stick parts for a track too, sounding great Pimmers. Thoughts with Rich and Jo, hope things are cool with you guys, speak soon mate.
More news from the road soon, I will be with One Eskimo somewhere in the United States near you soon.
