What now?

[Tinman]

So, curve is out, and the band is touring for it... then what happens? This place is all but but, Trusty is gone, and the future is uncertain. Do you guys think raine will focus more on his solo stuff? WIll they keep touring? It sounded like they band really wanted to keep writing... any chance we'll see album 9 in the next two years?

More touring is next. Trusty has been on the road for months on end. He'll be back when he's rested up. Fall/Winter tour, writing/recording, Summer '13 festival dates. That would fit the standard pattern. If there's an album before Spring '15 I'd be surprised.

I think what Matt said seems pretty accurate. This seems to be the method of operation for the band the last number of years. It's a shame that they aren't as prolific as they used to be around 2000, when there was a new album every year or two, but with families and living in different cities now, it's understandable.

I suppose what now is a valid question though, considering the uncertainty of the band after gravity, HIPT, BB we asked this question lots....but the band seems in a good place now, very invigorated by curve, enjoying playing the songs live, and I think it's a good sign that we'll see more material from them start to leak out maybe late 2013 or early 2014 (I'm more optimistic than Matt I guess haha).

For now, i need only a TRUE European Tour...i want to see the band live...Curve is amazing and it stops my need of new music for now

[auolp]

What do you guys think the next leg of touring will be? Do you think they'll piggy back the Charlotte festival at the end of September into more dates around the Southeast?

[xjsb125]

Thats what I'm keeping my fingers crossed for.

[auolp]

Same here. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

Is it too soon to start the "New Album in 201x" thread?

20XX thread.

somwhere in there we also have to factor a month or two for Raine to do a solo tour too.

[ivewaited]

... unreleased music to keep us happy in the meantime...

[ivewaited]

bonus tracks for curve?

[xjsb125]

Don't expect it. Raine said in an interview a while back they probably won't be released.

I'd love for that to happen again. I haven't seen a solo show since he opened for Chantal at Massy Hall.

His solo stuff has been great so far, I'm really liking the sound he's experimenting with. A new OLP album would be awesome too, but I'm still enjoying Curve.

hey, im not gone.

just busy.

I'd like to see a theatre tour for curve this winter/spring like they did for Burn Burn. I'd love the see Gravity/Happiness recreated like they did with spirtual/Clumsy.

Anyone else? I know everyone hates Gravity, but it was likely their second most commerical success.

Busy with....????

Seriously though, good to see you back! Hope you have time for a vacation, and you can spend it with us

I don't know that that kind of tour for Gravity/Happiness would work as well as Clumsy/Spiritual Machines.

Q&A "revisiting recordings in the fall" hopefully they can stick to THAT.

Per OLP's Facebook page...

Wow, it seems like it's been way too long since we last played live doesn't it?

Make sure to check back here around 3PM EST for a special announcement!
