Hello friends...it's with great joy I tell you we have officially started recording songs for our next release.

This is charlie, bringing rock to the keyboard.

This is Jeremy bringing rock to the percussion.

This is Dan bringing rock to the lyrics.

Hey howdy!

Hey friends. Back home from our nation’s capitol of government and nice tailored suits. Big news, if you haven’t heard – a greatest hits has been released! Provident Label Group, our home for our entire career up to the Christmas album, has put out a collection of tunes. Yes, I know what some of you are thinking. Frankly, that’s kind of rude, and I wouldn’t say those sorts of things to friends, but anyway…

Field trip to the capitol with Blood:Water Mission.

Here we are. Coffee ready (mine is decaf, thank you very much) and waiting to board our early morning flight. We're with Jena and most of our board, discussing some really exciting stuff.

In a strange twist, I ended up navigating the streets of DC. This is a risk, putting me in charge like this.

Thank you, down under!

We're all finally back in one piece from our whirlwind of 3 shows in Auckland, Brisbane and Melbourne. Our first show in New Zealand in over 10 years! That's too large a gap, we've figured out.

It was fun to bring out a few songs we don't play that often, seeing as we'd not been around since Much Afraid. We're going to have to remedy that for the future.

We christened it "Rauckland."

I’m flying from Auckland to Brisbane with that lovely glaze in my eyes. Last night’s show was fantastic. A lovely audience that brought it all – and I feel like we returned serve.

All-in-all, a great day. We hit the market outside the Edge theatre, and wandered down High Street, watching the fashionistas. I was put off a bit, trying to find some clothes, but there’ll be more shopping in Melbourne. Fingers crossed.
