The view from the roof of Groove Master Studios in Chicago. On the flight into Chicago we began the descent as the pilot announced 43 degree temperatures in the city. We came from summer in our mountain town back to winter. Luckily there are plenty of second hand stores in Wicker Park where we found a few extra layers of clothing. We’ve been warm inside the studio recording away as we look out the wall of windows. The view of the Chicago skyline is the perfect back drop to record music to! We’ll have a few days off soon to explore and find more lyrical inspiration for the album. For now we’ll leave you with this image.

Wanted to write a quick note saying thanks to everyone who made it out to Audrey Auditorium to see us play with Switchfoot. The Switchfoot guys have to be the nicest band we’ve met…seriously, they treated everyone so well and set the tone for a great show!

Our New Album:

We’ve been hard at work over the past few months writing new material for the up-coming album and we are stoked to see what you all think when it’s done! The four of us are absolutely sure it’s going to be far and away the best Telescope work to date!!!

Right now, we’re starting pre-production to work out the bugs, so that come July we can hit the studio in LA with bells on and knock these songs outta the park! Not entirely sure yet, but you may be seeing a couple of songs from previous recordings make a fresh appearance as well…

As most things in life, a release date is only tentative and if I had to venture a guess right now, I’d say it’ll become available around the first of August or September. Hope you’re all looking forward to it as much as we are!

Telescope just brought in the new year with a bang at Highlands club in Hollywood! We played a short set (3 songs), slammed it home quick, then kicked it VIP style upstairs for a bit with friends. The wine and spirits flowed and soon the countdown came. 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (tons o’ cheers and hugs) We danced most of the rest of the night away and had just a generally amazing time! Thank you so much to Jay, Vincent, Runway Magazine, Aziz, family and friends, the staff at Highlands and all our fans who keep supporting and keep our motors hummin! Here’s to the future and may it be filled with all that is wonderful for us all

Love,

As you may have heard, Telescope was added to the playlist and rotation at the Edge 103.9 FM. This led to an amazing show on Thursday night at the Third Thursday Block Party in Scottsdale. (If anyone has pix from that night please post them here or on Facebook, we’d love to see them.)

So then, to top off an incredible couple of weeks: We found out on Friday that the industry leading A&R site, Crazed Hits, featured Telescope this week as its, A&R pick. Dig deeper on the link below and you’ll see why we’re so excited!
