A Brief Sabbatical

No, we haven’t vanished.  Guess it would seem as such after a summer of performing in and outside of the Air Capital.  Truth of the matter is we had to cancel a few shows last month due to a health issue.  It’s like this: years ago in a city far far away, Andrea broke her ankle.  The doctors repaired it with a plate and pins.  Well, last month, one of the pins became loose and threatened to break the skin.  To say it was painful is a lesson in understatement.  It interfered with the ability to stand for prolonged periods of time, let alone with the need to press guitar effect pedals.  So surgery was performed and things are returning to normal. And by normal we mean the ability to rock for hours while wearing 4 inch heels without breaking a sweat.

We’ve been writing new material that we’re very excited about and we think you’ll dig it too.  It’s certain to inspire many nyquillian trances and possibly a few fist pumps from drunken frat boys.

The months ahead look promising.  We’re looking forward to heading into the studio this month to record our EP, which, when all is played and done, we’ll be selling on our website as well as the usual online services.  Be sure to periodically check in for details.  At the moment, we have a show booked in Kansas City that we’re looking forward to, and we may be playing a festival in Austin, TX sometime in March.  As 2011 is the Year of The Rabbit, folie adieu will be burrowing in, so to speak, organizing the band and the brand for 2012, which is the very auspicious Year of The Dragon.
 
Lastly, we regret to inform you of a death in the folie adieu family.  Our beloved Fostex 8-track passed away quietly after a long struggle with overuse.  It leaves behind three demo songs and many memories of middle-of-the-night recording sessions in the basement.

Lessons Learned:  Stay away from Craigslist Rants & Raves.
