Hey everyone, Nick here.

It’s getting to be that time of the year, a little colder, holidays approaching, everything slows down a bit…

Well, I was just thinking back to the year that we’ve had with Post Paradise, and I’ve gotta say I never imagined that things would ramp up so quickly. Right after we got back from SXSW, I assumed we would have a pretty slow summer. As fate would have it, we ended up playing a show almost every week for 4-5 straight months, each one better than the last. We have so many people to thank for this epically fun twist of fate, from Dani, Julie and everyone at SpokesBUZZ, so many of our new Denver friends/bands like Will Dupree, Our friends from the Foot, Take to the Oars, In The Whale, Eldren, everyone at 93.3, as well as the amazing bands we met during our bandswap tour like I’m Not a Pilot and Herman Astro from Milwaukee and Tulips and Timebombs from Kansas. There are many more, but far too many to mention here…

All this, of course, would not have been possible without the hard work of the awesome people that have joined me on this ridiculous career of a rock band. Most of you know that we acquired a new bass player in May and a new drummer in June. Chris and Mark joined in a tumultuous and extremely busy time for the band and never backed down from the challenge once. They were absolute troopers, learning TONS of songs, practicing multiple times a week, getting blinded by lights, traveling to parts unknown, sleeping in vans, etc. Changing out an entire rhythm section at once is not an easy adjustment, but Amy and I were adamant about keeping the band going. She’s truly my best friend and always helps keep me positive.

Saving the best for last, I need to personally thank all of you who keep coming to shows, saying hello and generally help us to believe in what we do with this band. If we ever get anywhere in this business we’re going to owe it to all of our amazing friends and fans that keep giving us their unending support. That is the TRUTH.

Thanks to all this we haven’t slowed down one bit.

Alright, well, the busy summer did mean that we had to put the new record on the back burner for the time being, but now it’s feeling right, the songs are coming together and with any luck we’ll have something ready early next year. Be on the lookout…

Nick
