Well in case you haven't heard, Lobster Newberg is going on an indefinite hiatus. Things aren't really working out, and we've all decided that we'd be happier if we moved on. Luckily I'll still be working with Jim Peterik on occasion and his session musicians. Who knows what will happen within that realm. Good news is that Corey, Phil and I have all decided to keep playing together. We've formed a new project called Big Rubber Band, which is actually way cool. It's hard to explain the genre of music that we're going for. Just know that it's very experimental and exciting, encompassing ALL aspects and influences from each of us. We'll be performing everything from funk to indie rock to metal to all out killer rock music. Expect to hear more from that in the future.

The other good news is that I've finally decided to take my Jamie Dull solo music to the next level, and give it full throttle! I'm currently working on putting together a full band, that will be working full time. In addition to working full time with Big Rubber Band, you can expect to see me performing live in all the regular Chicago clubs within the upcoming months with a full lineup behind me. I plan to release another album in the near future, which will hopefully include collaborations from the new musicians I'll be working with. I'll have more news on that in the future. Just be excited!

Now I'm kind of planning to just start with a clean slate music wise. All of the music I've been writing over the years has been fun, but I feel I haven't hit my peak with my writing potential yet, and with the addition of new musicians to write with, I'm sure the music will turn into something wonderful. So I'll probably not be playing any songs that are up here on the website, except maybe one or two ("Storm" anybody?), however I'm looking forward to seeing what will develop. Not to mention the fact that the collaborations with Phil and Corey for Big Rubber Band are going well. This time around the three of us can write what we want with no limits involved. It's a great feeling.

So anyway, that is where I currently stand. I'll be playing drums for Big Rubber Band, but I'm also in the process of lining up a band for my solo music as well. Can't wait to see you out at the shows! Oh and keep checking back here on my website. I'll hopefully have new music up for you sooner than later!
