For those of you who haven't noticed, Love Songs has not been playing live for, oh, let's just say a long time.  This is mostly due to our beloved, often belittled, but always brilliant bass player, Seth, moving to the land of beer and sausage we call Chicago, and leaving some very large shoes to fill.
We faced the challenge of trying to find someone to replace our very good friend, whom we never really realised was such a talented bassist, until we tried teaching other people to play his parts.  More than a few candidates helped us learn that Seth did a lot more than look good in a Speedo.  To those who were about to rock, we salute you: Nick, Dan, Ben, Monte, and Sam, among others.
During our time off, Craig managed to conquer the fucking world (see earlier blog posting), play either the guitar or the air guitar on 5 and a half continents, become an animated video game character, and grow a beard.  Jackson started a power pop power trio called Master Volume and gave up working year round for lifelong debt.  Bradley became a homeowner and unemployed, in that order.  Meanwhile, in Chicago, Seth joined a totally awesome rock band called Days Off. www.myspace.com/daysoffchicago
Our hiatus is due to end soon, though, as we will be introducing our new bass player, Brian, at the El Rio in San Francisco on April 25, where we're playing with King City and Flipper.  We are fucking stoked.
See you soon, everybody.
We miss you, Seth!
