A lot has happened since we last got together.

Joel has left the Hates to follow his dreams with Red Cap.  They have a new CD out now, and we wish them all the best.

While I have been auditioning new bass players and drummers I have been incredibly busy.  I’ve been working very hard on my book, and hoping for an early spring release. Nailing down the details for my wedding, which is taking place on 20 November. Learning more music theory, because I enjoy being a music nerd and I can never learn enough. I also had the great honour to speak at another music class at U of H. And in the midst of all of this, the Hates got nominated for the Houston Press Music Awards for Best Punk.  Life is good!

So, I’ve got some good news for you.  The Latch Key Kids have been generous enough to ask us to be a part of their EP release show in January 2012- and we are going to be there!  Come show your support for another local punk institution while checking out the debut of the Hates’ new lineup.  Details are on the Shows page.

No matter what happens between now and then, I am really looking forward to getting on that stage and playing for you.  The calendar can’t turn to January soon enough.

Thank you all for your support over the years- without sounding too uncool, I would not be where I am today without the people who enjoy my music.

Cheers,

Christian
