Hey,
everyone! I hope this finds you all doing great and I hope you are all
looking forward to a fun batch of shows. The schedule gets more and more
grueling as we speak and we would not have it any other way. First
off, I'd like to say welcome to Park Lane, Pale, and Man Made Machine!
These 3 bands are going to join us for the bulk of the tour. Below are
links to some of their sites for you to check out and get familiar.
On
another note, as most of you know, Yogi will no longer be playing with
Fuel. When I first started doing this again I wanted to put together a
group of guys that I could play the back catalog of music with, and also
prepare for a new Fuel record. I've been looking for writing partners
that are willing to be committed to Fuel first. When I first asked Yogi
to be a part of this he said yes and we went out and toured. As soon
as that tour was over he chose to go to another gig. I was bummed to
find out that I was losing him but I chose to be nice and wish him the
best. After his other gig was over he asked me about doing Fuel again,
and things weren't working out with Jasin Todd, so I excitedly said yes
to Yogi. At that point we discussed the future of the band and writing
music together, and it seemed like we had our guitar player back. After
awhile Yogi, Brad and myself finally got together to write some music.
Things went pretty good although the song ideas we worked on were mine
and Brad's. Not long after that Yogi went out of the country for nearly
a month with very little correspondence. A couple of days after he
returned from his trip he and I had a heated discussion about his
loyalty. At the end of the day, Yogi is a "hired gun". I love the guy
to death but I simply was losing too much sleep wondering if I was going
to have a guitar player for the shows we were booking. At that point I
thought it was best for Yogi and I to part ways. I immediately started
my search for our new guy. With that said, I'd like to introduce you
all to Andy Andersson. Andy is not only a great guitar player but the
guy has some great song ideas that we've already been working on. I'm
so excited to not only share a stage with Andy but to also write a new
record with him, Brad and Ken. This feels so good that I think I may
have finally found my unified front. It would be great if you could all
welcome Andy with all of the passion that you all have shown over the
years.
I love you all and look forward to melting your faces soon.
