‘Nieuw album The Summer Set heet The Half Moon Kids’

Het nieuwe album van The Summer Set gaat vermoedelijk The Half Moon Kids heten. De band begon namelijk afgelopen zomer “[Long live] The Half Moon Kids” te gebruiken in updates over het nieuwe album. Verwacht wordt dat er een officiële bevestiging volgt op 25 februari. Ook is er onlangs een veel besproken campagne opgezet met de tekst “WHO ARE THE HALF MOON KIDS?”. Hieronder kun je een oude update van frontman Brian Dales lezen, die hij eindigt met bovengenoemde ondertekening.

Friends,

This has been the best summer of my life.

It all began when the 5 of us moved into a house in Tempe, Arizona to begin writing for album #3. We learned a lot about ourselves. As much as we love touring, it felt good to finally have a break.

By day we were lounging by the pool, barbecuing, and writing songs. By night we were reuniting with old friends, drinking more than necessary, shooting pool, having Bob Seger sing-a-longs, and doing a lot of naked swimming.

The most important thing is that the 5 of us became closer than ever and learned exactly what kind of record we want to make. Third time is a charm, right?

John and I have spent this whole month of July, along with most of this upcoming August, in Los Angeles collaborating with a handful of our favorite writers and producers. It’s been an amazing experience. These are some of the best, most fun songs we’ve ever written and I promise in due time you will get to hear them. We’re coming up on 20 demos right now…..we’ll have 30 soon, then at the end of the year we’ll decide on the best dozen and record them.

I wish this summer didn’t have to end, but I can’t wait to meet some new friends in South America this fall and see all of our UK friends again.

Oh, and there’s a rumor we might tour in the US again at the end of the year. Details soon.

Long Live The Half Moon Kids,

Prince Brian.
