Greetings Wired Members,
I hope you're having a great summer. We're now officially done with our new project entitled "MOVE." The album will release on October 19th. Also, we just released our first single from the project to radio. It is a track called "Lift Up Your Face." We started this track with our friends in Needtobreathe on the Winterjam tour earlier this year. Just last week, we added the final touch to the mix, a guest appearance from The Blind Boys of Alabama.
As a wired member, you can pull up any of our recent shows and hear live versions of this song as well as a track entitled "Gone" as we work them into our live show. We're hoping to start incorporating some more new songs in the coming weeks as well. The only thing holding us back has been our crazy logistics. We don't want to attempt new songs until we have a chance to work on them in soundcheck, and our travel schedule and festival logistics haven't allowed for any sound checks. But, the good news is we're getting pretty solid on these two new tracks.
The Meet and Greet sign ups have been added for the upcoming 4 shows. We apologize for the delay. If you're in the NW, we hope you'll come see us this weekend.
We're in the process of working on a new site transformation that will include better integration of your wired features into the regular website.
Also, I've begun inquiry into developing a mobile APP for Wired which would allow you to
1. register for meet and greets
2. buy merch
3. view concert pics and
4. stream concerts from your mobile device.
We had a big meeting yesterday with the entire band and team discussing ways we can better serve you guys and some ideas to have some online chats in the coming months to let you hear our music ahead of the general public. Stay tuned.
You guys are soo good to us!! Thanks!!
See you at Ignite Chicago on July 24th!!

heard new track "lift up your face" in Yakima, Good stuff! Thought the show was a little short but then again time flies when you are having fun/in the groove

You guys were awesome at Rolling Hills in Tualatin. Lift Up Your Face and Gone are both great new tracks. Can't wait for the CD to come out in October! I'll be posting a blog entry about the concert later today on my Wordpress blog. Your music has been such a blessing to me and I'm sure many others.

Tai, don't forget about the nicer polos for wired members that my friend Don mentioned to you in Columbia during WinterJam.
