"The new [BLACK LIGHT BURNS] record is about 90% finished. Nick [Annis, BLB guitarist] and I are doing some final guitar tracks tomorrow and then we'll polish the mixes.

We're currently booking shows for January-February 2009 in the U.S. with COMBICHRIST. A few more possible engagements have presented themselves before next year, but we'll have to wait and see how things work out. I can't wait to come over to Europe and Japan. So much is happening. Excited."
