Well, here's some band/album release info. for a change. Updated tour info. follows at the end.
I'm going to be a guest on the Aaron Axelson "Soundcheck" show on Live 105/KITS on Sunday night. (105.3 FM, January 11.) The show runs from 8pm -10pm, and I'm not sure exactly what or how much I'll be doing, but I do know I'll be playing some acoustic songs live and something from the album. Probably some kind of interview, too. Still no idea what I'm going to play. "Fucked Up on Life" is probably out, but otherwise I guess it's wide open.
Plus, this stuff. Some of these are going to be acoustic, either solo or with some or all band members, some will be with the full, loud, annoying electric band. We're still kind of figuring it all out:

Frank, is there any chance you'll be coming somewhere south of Cleveland in Ohio? That's about a 250 mile drive for me on a work night! Also, does anybody know if one of the radio stations Frank will be do the broadcasting live over the net?

Posted by: Al at January 9, 2004 12:14 AMwoo! looking forward to the new record, see you in lawrence...
Posted by: christina at January 9, 2004 12:19 AMIs MTX playing SXSW this year?
Posted by: Hulka at January 9, 2004 12:54 AMBrooklyn? NYC would be a lot more convenient.
Posted by: jq at January 9, 2004 02:55 AMjq that part of brooklyn is easy enough to get to if you're goint trek to Manhattan. Hey Frank looking forward to February!
Posted by: Bill at January 9, 2004 03:28 AMwhoooo, Middle East in Cambridge is like 10 min away, I'll be there for sure.
Any idea who the openers will be?
(and, um.. need a bass player for "I Fell For You"? Please?)
Posted by: mike at January 9, 2004 04:02 AMAs an aside, accurate attribution's Aaron Axelsen, actually. (Apologies about anality.)
Posted by: Dave Bug at January 9, 2004 09:05 PMSee you in Brookly, Frank!
Posted by: michele at January 10, 2004 12:06 AMyAy!
Can't wait to see you in Carrboro, NC!!!
Although I have no issue with driving to see you guys, why don't you ever come to Charlotte, NC???
Looking forward to the new album!
Posted by: kit at January 11, 2004 11:08 PMAny idea if the show at the Troubadour has tickets on sale anywhere besides the box office? Ticketmaster seems ignorant about the show...
Posted by: kasei at January 12, 2004 11:20 PMGee Golly! Club Laga! Here I come!
Posted by: Brian at January 13, 2004 01:17 AMSweet, finally I'll be able to see you guys in concert. I'm definitely going to the Minneapolis show and if i can squeeze room I'll go to the La Crosse too.
Posted by: Caleb at January 13, 2004 03:02 AMEntertaining, if slightly creepy, interview. The acoustic-ing was very cool. Also, I think "London" lives up to the hype. It is a beautiful song. I'm excited to hear the whole record.
Posted by: spacetoast at January 13, 2004 08:41 PMI am so so so SO super excited that MTX is playing The Space in Hamden, CT! It's a fan-tas-tical little all ages venue which I hope you will adore. (As a complete aside: I grew up in San Francisco to the sounds of MTX in the early 90s and when I came to New Haven for college in '95, the first punk show I that managed to make me feel at home was a Mr. T Experience show at the now defunct Tune Inn-- a little piece of the Gilman come to keep me company... life is kind of circular that way. Anyways, I'm very happy you'll be taking some time to stop in our little state! Hurrah for you and for us!)
