One the bus yet again. We're on the way to see a guy known as Mancow. We'll be on his radio show this morning. We should all take a moment to reflect on how difficult it is for morning radio people. Up early like this every day and expected to be entertaining. If you catch the show, you may notice that we are not qualified to get up this early and be entertaining.
Tonight we are playing at the zoo in Chicago. We go on right after the clown who makes animal balloons and right before the puppet show. If you have time, check out the new baby panda bear. He's adorable.
We've got some new dates up here on the page.....canada, Europe, US. More are coming as they are confirmed. Look forward to seeing you........

Looking foward to seeing you too!!!

Peace & Love

I know what you mean about early hours...I had a few jobs when I had to wake up really early and every time I thought "this should be illegal, you can't ask people to wake up so early, it's not human".

I hate early mornings, UNLESS I party all night and through the morning, then I love it :)
I hope the radio show went good in despite of the illegal request of the radio station.


still waiting for more european dates;)

I'm sooo very pleased to see the band has healed enough to try and find someone to honor Shannon's genius songwritting and cmpliment your surpreme meloditic abilities. I am an unfortunate that never got 2 C the original group, so this is a wish that I thought would always be just that. U guys have made my dreams come true and may U all B blessed in every way possible 4 doing so !! I will continue 2 listen religiously as usual and I hope 2 C U in Columbus, OH soon. Obviously great consideration went into getting back together and fate was kind enough 2 make sure U and the new lead crossed paths and 4 that 2 I will B forever indebted.
Pure Poetry 4 my soul, spirit, heart, body and mind !! Thank U 4 bean U

Saw you guys in Charlotte a couple of times last year and what can I say, except it's SOOOOOOOOOO good to have you guys touring. Now I live in Orlando and am keeping my eyes open for you guys sometime. The new songs are great and for any of you people out there reading this that haven't really listened to it....do yourself a favor. It rocks. You guys keep up the great work and its great to have ya'll back. Oh by the way, I've heard that puppets are fond of stealing riding lawnmowers so you guys keep an eye on your John Deere while you're out there.
Peace

No monkeys??? I'm outraged! On the other hand they fling their poop so maybe it's better you have none. Once at the zoo there was a tour where you could go under them and feed them peanuts into a bucket they would pull up and eat. Some lady put only shells in 3 or 4 times and she made them really mad...one of them pissed on her head! What a riot! True story, I swear! <3

Mancow can be an a$$hole. He was bad mouthing Shannon after he passed away. I was very offended. I know it's his job to be a "shock jock", but he just tends to be mean.


I used to respect him up to that point.

I think things are really beautiful early in the morning, when the sun is just coming up. Sometimes there's still a mist hanging over everything, and the plants look green and fresh. It has a particular early morning smell; my 5 year old would go outside and asks "what is that smell?" and I tell him, "It's the smell of morning".
Go inside and have a cup of fresh brewed coffee, and embrace the day! A time for new beginnings and new opportunities, who knows what the day will bring us?
Almost time for you guys to depart to Europe, I hope the remainder of your tour here in the states is going well and that you're all having a fantastic time!
