July 30, 2006- Creation West Festival and album news
Posted July 30, 2006
What's up? We recently got home from The Gorge at George, WA for Creation Festival. It was very warm there. I was hoping since it was so north it might not be 100 degrees. This year we choose to do something different at Creation. We were getting tired of the main stage vibe at Creation because they always gave us a afternoon slot and the crowd is always so far away behind barricades. So this year we wanted to close the second stage. It was so much fun. The crowd was right up to the front of the stage. We heard lots of talk that we had the biggest crowd ever at that stage. It even started to cool down near the end of our set. I think it was the best Creation West show we have done. Despite standing in the heat all day the crowd moved and jumped like no other. The bus rolls this Thursday for Soul Fest in NH and Kingdom Bound in NY. A very long bus trip.
Things are starting to get very exciting around here with the new album releasing in about 2 months things are starting to fall into place. On October 3 we will be releasing "The Reckoning" and "The Reckoning Limited Edition". The Limited Edition will cost more but comes with a DVD. We just watched the whole DVD a few days ago and let me tell you its awesome. Its the DVD we always wanted to release. The DVD features our Cornerstone 2006 performance (filmed very nicely), video commentary of the album, and private music sessions with each band member. We have also been talking about doing a video for the song "Everything" soon in later August. We just read a treatment that we really liked. I think we might be filming it out in Kansas close to where Pillar started. We will need fans for part of it so once we know the time and date we will make the announcement. I also just found out today that familychristian.com is already taking pre-orders for "The Reckoning" and once you preorder it you are able to listen to a stream of the whole album now!
