Time of our lives!
Hey Lambs,
It's me, G-loc here on a Saturday, doing overdubs in LA on our day off from the U2 tour. I think we might just be having the time of our lives. Not only did we have the best year ever making our new record, but we are also ending it on tour with a band that has been the soundtrack to our lives. All through our high school and college years, U2 had been there doing their thing. I have always respected and loved them but now with this touring experience it has gone to the next level. These guys are the real deal. We stepped on stage for our first time in over a year opening for them at Madison Square Garden in NYC. The show couldn't have been more intense. The energy of the city coming together after the tragedies of September 11th was gorgeous. I really felt lucky to be there with my best friends offering our music as a way to heal and distract from the confusion and pain of these times. Seeing U2 under normal circumstances is emotional enough, but with the combination of their music and a city in mourning, the words of the songs took on a whole new meaning. By the end of the concert everyone in the audience was in tears.
So much has happened since then. Tomorrow in Dallas will be our last show together. We are all sad to have this magical time end. I don't think I would feel this motivated about touring right now if it wasn't for being out with U2.
Tell you more about it later.
Love,

People get ready
We're closing in on the end of the U2 tour, which is sad since we've had so much fun with those guys. But in the next month we're going to be very busy getting ready for the release of the new album. There are magazine interviews, photo shoots, television performances and all kinds of other stuff to keep us busy. Don't worry though, early next year we'll begin touring and we'll go everywhere we can at least once. So get ready!

Hello from Austin, Texas!
Hello from Austin, Texas! We're having a blast on tour out here with U2, and it's so great to play for our fans again. It's also great to read all of your discussions on the fan forum, there's nothing wrong with a little healthy debating and airing of opinions! Since Dancehall Reggae is still underground in the U.S., I thought it might be good provide you with some references if you want to find out more about it. "BIGGEST RAGGA DANCEHALL ANTHEMS 2001/2000/1999" are three fantastic compilations that will give you a great idea of what Dancehall is all about. If you check these out on cdnow.com or amazon.com, you can listen to streaming clips of each track. These albums were spun to death backstage and in our cars last year during the ROS tour and have a lot to do with our approach to much of Rock Steady. Here are a few Dancehall websites that might be of interest as well: http://www.reggaediary.com/DancehallMedia/

Enjoy!
