We're beginning to talk about what we should play in these last 2 shows in Los Angeles and Fort Worth. Please let us know what you'd like to hear by adding to the Comments below.
For those of you who haven't tried putting out a 2-disc set including music from obsolete formats (remember DAT?), rarities not yet found, and multimedia, a piece of advice: Don't try to collect it all, record 4 new songs, direct the artwork, and write the liner notes all in the span of about a month. Campuzano has been taking hits while collecting the hits, and it's really because of his drive that this thing is even coming out at all.
It looks like the video will be a live performance of "Saturday Night", filmed in the City of Orange at the home of the director, Steve Lewis. He's made videos for Ride, Trashcan Sinatras, Face To Face, Switchfoot, and Driver 8, among others. Most of the live audio tracks will come from this performance, as well.
Other songs will most likely include the original version of "Kisses as Bounties" (harmonica and all), the Face Your Fun demo "Galaxy Girl", the unreleased hits "Three Cheers for Waterloo" and "We're the Number Ones", and a ripping live version of "She's the Coming Sun" that nobody knows where it was recorded (ah, the magic of DAT!).
We're still finalizing the list, so I'm sure there will be other ditties in there for y'all (I'm warming up for Texas).
Tickets are now available for our show at the Wall of Sound Festival in Fort Worth, TX, April 8-9. We perform on Saturday the 8th with Low, Starflyer 59, and many others.
Get your tickets now because this will probably be our last show as "The Lassie Foundation."
We'll also perform a final Los Angeles show at the end of March.
We've been frantically writing 2 new songs that will appear on the forthcoming album. It's looking like that album will be a 2-disc set, with Disc 1 containing a live set, rarities, and a video for one of the live songs. Disc 2 looks like it will include two of our early albums that are currently out of print: the "California" e.p. and the l.p. "Pacifico". There's still much work to be done in short time, so I can't promise that all of this will happen. This is what we're shooting for, though.
In other news, you can hear our song "Good Times Comin' My Way" in the documentary film "Stuntwood: The Birth, Life, and Death of a Skateboard", airing on Fuel TV.
