Posted By BillyCorgan
I emerge from my seemingly eternal self-imposed silence to bring good news! The collective We is happy to announce that We have just finished a new acoustic e.p. entitled ‘American Gothic’ that features 4 new songs:
*The Rose March
*Again, Again, Again (the crux)
*POX
*Sunkissed
Even better is the news that these songs will be available on i-tunes starting January 2nd…the collective We looks forward to you hearing these new songs afresh and us playing them to you anew on the upcoming European and Australian tours…
Since the holidays are upon us, the collective I would like to take this opportunity to give gratitude where it is due, and that is to those that are not hypnotized, or so numbed by darkness that they cannot hear the chime in my words…I wish you a warm holiday and a brilliant New Year to come, and may you get all you deserve! (again) From my heart to yours, sincerely, I hope you feel the love that we have for all of you, even for those of you who are lost and seeking, bruised and still keeping…i hope these words find you as well…
The new day has finally come as we turn the corner on the end of one energy that no longer serves us and begin to embrace the new dawn that will…and no, I am not speaking about the band or the music business…what is past is passed, and we all wear the black arm bands in honor of, but life happily, as it should, marches on…hopefully to a good beat…
Thanks to New Orleans for showing Us the meaning of hope…and thanks to the old guard for showing the same dull move, you know the one that never works? Art band that said old guard wishes they were in so bad that they wish importance upon it? Check! No matter what you crutches all dream up, Led Zep is still a 100 times better! Go Zep! Go Team! Rock on! Long Live the Mighty SP!
And…
Thank YOU for showing up! And yes, I mean YOU 🙂
lovingness, happiness, BC
