Dears,
1. Only 20 days until the first of the Fall residency concerts. 4-6 days a week, several hours a day, rehearsing, programming, tweaking, finessing all new works to ensure a seamless live presentation of our new album. 14-ish songs spanning roughly an hour. This kind of “boot camp” is reminiscent of the early days; the feeling of having something to prove, a great deal of intent. Not knowing what to expect, moreover, not caring, just doing. Yes; it’s only rock’n’roll but it’s our most purposeful, powerful yet. The Dears are truly awesome again. Live and on record, we are looking forward to sharing this new music with you.

Eternal Love,
The Dears
