Bike Tour is now officially renamed “Ditch the Van” Tour, and all necessary preparations are fully underway! This includes the exciting news that I’m putting the finishing touches on a new Attica! Attica! album. I haven’t been talking too much about it because I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off before bike tour (ahem, I mean Ditch The Van Tour), but it looks like it will, in fact, be done in time. It will be available soon for donation as a digital download. There will be no CD. Get down with that. The greatest thing about self-releasing something digitally is that I can release it in a week and I still have no idea what the album title is. Yes, the internet continues to be wonderful to me.
I also neglected to post an interview that I did for Sound Scene Revolution. Rich and Nariman are two great dudes, and they took the time to interview me before my San Francisco show in July. I would say it’s awesome, but it’s mostly just me talking a lot, so it’s weird for me to say it’s awesome. But if you think reading this is worth your time, then listening to that is probably worth your time. You can stream or download the interview here: Sound Scene Revolution. I think you can still win a ton of sweet A!A! swag from their contest, too.
Blake has crafted a Ditch the Van blog to chronicle bike tour, which you can peep here: ditchthevan.blogspot.com Additionally, I’m going to be doing a couple online tour diaries during bike tour. I’ll post the links once I start writing.
