Our last gig was in November and now it's 2007, so what happened?  Why does it seem like Glass Army has melted into the night like cooking chocolate into a pan?  What are we all doing with ourselves?  Is anything real anymore?

Okay, so here's what's going on in the Glass Army barracks:

First of all, we are ultra-stealthy.  Our ability to vanish into the shadows is rivalled only by Sam Fisher, Sarah Kerrigan and a few other fictional special forces types.  So, in the grand Glass Army tradition of not drawing attention to anything worthy of a press release, we decided to have an emergency change of plan instead of a "final gig of '06" or anything like that.

The need to constantly increase our exposure was suffering due to mounting (albeit self-inflicted) pressure to stay ahead of the creative game.  As it is, we each make a living doing some kind of work, not with music, so playing heaps of small local headline gigs was compounding our fatigue without any real positive outcome.  We decided to focus on booking our February tour and to finish the hell out of some songs.

So far, it's been a very refreshing period.  Jore's been cutting his teeth in production and audio engineering, working with various local artists and also hooking into a bunch of web development.  JB and I have been booking, getting fit, writing songs, teaming up on Christmas presents and sleeping relatively well.

During January, we're going to be getting our act up to speed.  We'll have to lock away the tour, compile a new set including some never-before-played material, and hopefully incorporate some brand new sounds into our live show.

This is a whole lot of crap to get done, so what the hell am I doing blogging on MySpace?  Hope to see you all on tour next month!
