It’s been a pretty awesome week for us. We are set to release the first single from our forthcoming album Forever, Never, Maybe and, the real icing on the pastry, is that we are proud to announce our “formal” association with Jim Dunlop Manufacturing.  For those not in the know, we’re not talkin’ about tires for your car.  These fine folks have been making world-class gear for musicians since 1965!

This is super exciting for us because we already rock lots of Dunlop gear. Once the album is out you’ll get to hear my Zakk Wylde Overdrive and Kirk Hammett Signature Wah all over it.  And when you’re in the company of names like those you know there’s no need to doubt that your gear is gonna sound great and be built like a Sherman tank.  Speaking personally, I’ve also relied on their picks and maintenance products for years. REALLY GOOD STUFF!

Love and SHRED!!! to all,

P.S. THE ONLY PICK I EVER USE IS A GREEN TORTEX JAZZ! There’s nothin’ better.

We are proud to announce that the hit FX series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is going to use the “inspirational” bit of music that we made for them last year yet again.  Why?  Because it just rocks in such an awesomely cheesy way.

We are extremely grateful and proud that the fine folks at show have chosen to utilize and it and much thanks goes out to them for the laughs and support.  May the suits at Fox give you the budget you deserve and the freedom to make worthwhile art.

BTW, they were also nice enough to sign a poster for us.  I thought  I would just show it off! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Love and Furry Animals to all,

- Wentz

This last week we have been working very hard on finishing up our live show. We are just about to start booking shows for the last bit of this summer. We are doing an interesting live show. I am singing and playing guitar while also playing the kick and snare drum with my feet. Marsh is playing the bass and high hat while doing some backup vocals. Wentz is playing the lead guitar and hitting the crashes with his feet as well. It is a freak show of epic proportions but it is a lot of fun.

As far as the record, we are in the final stretch of mixing. We should have the final mixes here in about two weeks or so. Then once it is mixed, it will take about a week to get it mastered and another week to get it pressed. So get ready for a new full length album at the beginning of July. The title of the new album is “Forever Never Maybe”. If you are interested in what the artwork looks like you can take a sneak peek on “Donbon’s” website here at www.donbonsuniverse.com We also have the track listing on there as well.

This week I had two recording sessions with legendary record producer Jack Douglas.  He produced every Aerosmith record ever made and john Lennon’s last piece of work “Double Fantasy”.  It was an awesome experience.  I gave him a copy of “Stirring Up The Echoes”.  He told me he would listen to it on the drive down to LA.  I hope he enjoys it.
