Good News, Bad News

Monday, July 19th, 2010

(First the Bad News)

Hey there good people. Well we don’t really know how to put this but the tour that we have been working on with our booking company in LA is going to be postponed. It seems we misjudged the amount of time needed to confirm all the dates that we wanted to play on this tour of ours. Most, if not all the clubs in the cities we wanted to rock are booked up. So, we have rescheduled for April of 2011. The tour will be going on the same route but this time we have given the booking company ample time to set up awesome shows for the band!

(Now the Good News)

For those of you who came out to the BBQ and donated your hard earned cash to the cause, we again thank you. The money that was originally intended to fund the trip will now be pumped directly into helping us record our next album in which we begin recording in early November!! We have local grammy award winning producer Justin Armstrong on board and it looks like we’ll be doing some great work together at Bob Lang Studios in Seattle! Look for a new release this winter!

All of us in Midstokke feel deeply saddened and frankly, embarrassed that after all the hype, we won’t be able to head out on the road just yet. We sincerely apologize for those who were planning on coming out. We thank everyone who supports and has supported us for so very long. This is just a minor bump in the road and the tour is still on but it’s just going to a few more months away now. On the bright side, all of you good people have given us a huge gift in that now we can afford to record a new disc of tunes. Thank you for that!

We’ll see you August 7th at Dax’s in Richland!
