Official Cardinals Summer Update- - 2 Hours Ago

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hows yr summer? early days here in Gotham.
just checking in to say hello and pass along some info to you nice folks.
Gotta say that the new tunes are feelin real sweeeeet at rehearsal. We (the cardinals) have worked up an entirely new set list of never before heard tunes (with the new ET tunes) for our new set up, which is more or less based on the GD "reckoning" set up- (me and neal on acoustics- JG on a single steel, B on his awesome new compact drum kit percussion thing (its actually the size of a small boat considering he is 7 ft 16) SWolf on the hollybody and our friend producer and sepcialist Jamie on piano (really great vibe having Jamie rocking that with us- totally awesome having him in the fold). Jamie likes italian food and his turn on's are sky-diving, undersea exploration and map collecting. he is an aquarius with some capricorn and virgo on his brother randy's side.
Jon Graboff is to elitist to eat food at the street carnival near practice but whatever, the Dunkin Donuts there is sketchy and maybe poisoned my drink because i was too "over-excited" about going, so i stopped going. wha? jamie also poisons my stuff. (jerks)
The fall tour should be a blast when that gets going what with all the tunes we will know due to learning to be almost two bands with two song lists that ore or less never borrow from each other. maybe we will open for ourselves. gross.
And also, considering the promo stuff done for ET will be more or less at the time it comes out, i'll let you in on a few things here. S Crow sang on "Two", yes and how awesome, i am a huge fan of her tunes and boy can she rock a bass, but it is not a duet. she sings w neal and i on the chorus. its all laid back and v three voices at once vibe. not that i wouldn't sing a tune with her like that given the opportunity. i have always been lucky enough to be asked to jam with her when im around and shes kicking it live.
also, Picknosemedia listed "these girls" as "three girls" but the song is actually called "14 girls and Randys trans am" Randy wrote it.

ALSO, we are building a new Cardinals site that i am v excited about. it will take a little bit of time to launch it as it will be the hub of info, tour dates, some streaming vids and audio of band related stuff and really the place to go for updated info thsi year (imagine that). of course the RA spaceship will always be out there for the nuts, and right now its all gone a bit HAL and the pod bay doors wont open. prob for the best. but soon enough more madness there.
so, for now, you should be seeing the cardinals and myself doin our mellow vibe with a rock gig here and there full amped. we have been callin the mellow set up BLUE SABBATH for lack of a better name, but come fall its THE CARDINALS> plenty to be done between then and now. THE FALL TOUR IS the ROCK.
so its no lack of amount of things to do or appearances that prevent a summer tour, but lets just say, in order to do the tour that is unlike any tour before with well more badass set up wizards lightning and lazers a few things need to be built.
i am really looking forward to full integration of the cards vibe in the fall with a full on badass streamlined new show.
HAVE A COOL SUMMER AND KEEP ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SOME SPECIAL NINJA IN THE DARKNESS GIGS.

WolfHunter first posted a couple of months ago I think. I remember thinking his posting style was RA-like but thought it was probably just an poseur.
