It’s 2010, and the air is right for Hellbusting
Happy New Year, everybody!
Which is also a great song by Todd Snider…
Anyway, welcome to 2010, friends. Yes, I’ll get around to changing the graphics on the home page one of these days, but not today. Today I’m sitting in the cold and snow of Reno and thinking about the year to come. The year past, while very good in Hellbusting, was pretty sucky in general overall for just about everybody, so I’m just saying so long to it with a minimum of fuss, and moving on down the road.
We have new and interesting plans for 2010. Let’s call them New Year’s Resolutions.
If everything goes according to the general plan we will:
1. Record at least one album. We have tons of demos done. I know I’ve been saying a new record is coming for months if not a year… but we resolve to record the new one in 2010 and maybe even release it.
2. We’re taking our music to the streets. I enjoy playing clubs and festivals, yet I feel like we don’t get to do either of them enough. So rather than focus on what I can’t control, the overall state of the economy and the seeming shortage of venues willing or able to book the Hellbusters, we’re going outlaw. We did a fair bit of busking and playing outdoors in 2009, starting with the TV deal at Reno-Tahoe Blues Fest, then continuing with the solo show at Black Tangerine and the really great time we had playing outside the RBS Mash Bash, we’re gonna get on it for serious. Look for a schedule, with dates starting in the spring, of street shows. We’re just gonna start going out and playing. We’ve developed a really great rig for playing music on the streets and I’m satisfied with the sound and I love the extra interaaction we get with listeners doing it like that. So standby for more info.
Thanks to all our fans and friends for all the support over the last year, and for all the love and support since we started. It makes us feel great. We wish you all a prosperous 2010. God bless.
