Wow! Well after 30 live concerts, Clive will be taking a break from gigs to focus our energy on our upcoming studio recording. So although we're flattered whenever we get asked to play somewhere, we wont be booking again until probably around mid-winter. Clive is a pretty busy group of guys who all lead interesting lives apart from the band, so we'd like to take time away from running around the greater Philadelphia area, in order to get some new studio music into your hands/ipods. We're going to be working with Second Story Sound Studio in West Chester, PA, and we're totally excited to hear what comes out. They've recorded for some awesome local acts like Hoots & Hellmouth and The Bridge Band, among others.
Its been an honor to share shows with some truly amazing talent... and to all of you who had a hand in setting up these performances, thanks SO much (that means you, Tara, Seth and Kyle)! Some artists we've had the chance to share the stage with that you should definitely check out are:

We've yet to make a final decision on how many songs we'll be including on the next record, but you can expect anywhere between 7-10 songs, and we'll be sure to post them for your listening pleasure as soon as possible. So keep checking back for updates. Hope to see you in the Winter!
