It feels like we just finished running a marathon. I think for a long time I’ve constantly felt like we’re chasing a goal or trying to meet a deadline…just running toward the next show or something.
The last 3 weeks have been pretty draining. We were in Michigan for a few shows, and then back to Nashville for a couple of days. Pap and I then flew to Las Vegas for my sisters birthday, then to LA for a week. The boys all met up with us toward the end of the week for a show/showacse at LA’s club – The Roxy on that Saturday. Pap and I had our 6th anniversary on that next Sunday (June 13th), so we drove up the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) to “wine country” in California. Then we flew out of LA back to Nashville on Tuesday, and left for Icthus Festival on Wednesday which is in Kentucky. We were there the rest of the week working with EB (Everything Burns Nonprofit), and then the boys drove up to the festival and we played 2 shows last Saturday night!
We’re all back in Nashville now, and it feels like I can finally breathe. We’re going to be taking some time to write, demo new song ideas, work on launching Everything Burns fully with new programs and initiatives and the website…we’re making all new merchandise for both SHIROCK and EB – we’ll also be working on stuff with Irock Clothing… We’ll also be upgrading our touring setup, possibly redoing the live show with some new lighting and sound equipment…lots to do! Oh, and we’ll be releasing the “Still Young” music video and on Rock Band, and starting a radio campaign. Maybe even getting into making a second music video to keep them coming
We’ll be posting videos and all kinds of new content on both SHIROCK.net and the Backstage Site. We’ve got a lot of big plans coming up, and we’re using this time right now to set ourselves up to really well for our upcoming touring.
Anyway, more news coming soon…keep in touch,
love always, Chuck Shirock
