Thrice Update
An update from Thrice can be read by clicking read more."Although you’ve probably read it elsewhere already (because the “series of tubes” called “The Interwebs” disseminates information faster than you can cram it into your skull), we’d like to take this opportunity to announce that we’re incredibly excited to be hitting the road this Spring with Manchester Orchestra and O’Brother. We met Andy and Chris from M.O. a few years ago at a show in Atlanta and got along great with them, and since then we’ve been keeping in touch/crossing paths with them occasionally. We connect with these guys on many levels and couldn’t be happier to share the stage with them.
I first heard O’Brother when my drum tech, Jon, played me their Death Of Day EP on the bus a few tours ago. I was hooked instantly, and that EP ended up being one of my favorite pieces of music that I heard last year. Since then, they’ve been a constant on my playlist, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them play every night for a few weeks.
Dates for the tour are here. If your city isn’t listed, we’re sorry. We (as in Thrice, not this particular tour) will be doing a headline tour this summer and will see you then.
In other news, this week, we just finished recording and mixing a cover for a release that I am not at liberty to talk about quite yet. Soon. We’ve also been rehearsing for a show we’re playing at Arizona State University tomorrow night. It’s a quickie. We’re gonna be in and out of town, even though part of me wishes I could hang out in Tempe and lurk around Angels Spring Training for a few days.
And finally, we’re tumbling (?) tumblring (?) blogging (?) or something. In an effort to keep the posts and news you see here strictly Thrice-related, we’ve set up Tumblr pages for each of us so that we can ramble and post pictures and video about whatever we feel like in our very own personal space. That way, the content you get here is band-related, and not me blabbering about the Lakers, Angels, or how some guy mowing the field at the Houston Astros practice facility is named Dick Raasch; Teppei posting a picture of a pair of boots or some lumberjack with a hatchet; or Ed posting educational videos about lights, and anything and everything Mark Hollis; or what Dustin will blog about, eventually.
Those tumblr pages are here:
Riley: trawlingthegrey.tumblr.com
Teppei: newgrass.tumblr.com
Ed: edwart.tumblr.com
Dustin: dustinkensrue.tumblr.com
Bookmark them if you’d like, or access them via the convenient TUMBLR drop-down menu above.
And that’s it for now. More good news later. In the meantime. Get tumbly and twittery.
Hope you’re all well.
