News Update from Conrad
7/25/2007 -- by merlin

From Conrad Keely:

As a last minute huzzah before embarking on the tour we've decided to book a show at the Luna Lounge here in Brooklyn, on August 2nd. It will be our first show with Aaron Ford, the newest in our line of hyper-skilled Nashville drum androids.

When I wrote that last piece of news, my mention of our replacing Doni with a human seemed to have either gone unnoticed, or else everyone already knew, which is probably the case. When we posted up on Pitchfork for two days we were flooded with about two-hundred responses before I asked them to take it down. I would like to thanks all of those people brave enough to have volunteered for such a dangerous mission.

We were fortunate, however, that our scientist friend Max Brenner happened to have had another prototype lying around in his studio, the Aaron 3.0. Aaron was developed alongside the Doni and performs with equally superb skill and efficiency, albeit slightly faster and even a bit harder at times than the Doni. Although not yet tested under extreme environments such as spilt beer and shards of glass, Brenner has convinced us that the Aaron's newly-updated circuits are robust and capable of withstanding the extreme pressures of a live TOD show.

So for those of you in the Brooklyn and general New York area who would like to attend the show, I believe pre-sales are almost sold out, but we have reserved about seventy tickets for walk-up, priced at $5.

I'm excited to be doing a show in the neighborhood, walking distance from my laboratory. Our last show in this area at North Six was an absolute disaster. I inadvertently hospitalized one spectator that evening, and nearly severed our already tenuous relationship with our publicity department. I hope that for those people who witnessed that show, we can somehow make it up to them with a less inebriated and physically hazardous performance on the 2nd of August. I'm hoping we'll be rehearsed enough to perform Naked Sun for the first time live.

Plans are currently underway for us to begin work on our next record upon returning from tour. We were throwing around various names for the record, but were reminded by the label that our contract states that the label has the option to choose the title of our next record, and Interscope informs me they have decided to call it "Trail of Dead VI". I for one am thankful, because I hate choosing titles for records. By the way, that's a joke, don't use it as fodder for any more criticism of Interscope.
