Catch Up

Saturday I had an opportunity to catch up with my friends from Sucré, which includes Stacy King from Eisley, her husband Darren King who is the drummer of MuteMath, and Jeremy Larson who is currently touring with Canon Blue. (FYI - Canon Blue is a great band. My friend and I had a blast during their show this past Saturday. Check 'em out!) MuteMath is currently on tour with Canon Blue as their opener so all three of them were in the same place this weekend. 

Darren and Jeremy filled me in on a little of what is approaching in the coming weeks. I'm very excited for them, not only because of what I know is ahead but because of what's now behind them. I believe this album's been in the works for a couple years. Jeremy and I emailed about horn stuff for 5 or 6 months before it happened. There's still another two and a half months to go before the album is actually out! The three of them seem to have incredible patience and endurance for this album. For me, that makes its release so much the sweeter. 

If you haven't heard the album's new single "When We Were Young," please do go check it out here: http://www.spinner.com/2012/01/23/sucre-when-we-were-young-song/

I ended up contributing brass stuff to 3/4s of the album. However, funnily enough, the single they went with was one of the few songs with no brass at all. Hmmph! Nah, only kidding. It's a great song - one I love singing along to. Hopefully it will whet appetites for more! 

At some point, I suppose I should post of the projects I have personally going with my own friends. There are a couple of really neat things in the works. I can't wait to share them with you!

Thanks for reading... listen to Sucré!!!!
