I can NOT believe that Rog is with Beck now. Speaking of embarassing projects, anyone wanna buy "Beatnik Beatch"? I hope Andy hasn't turned into a 90's Syd Barrett (reclusive and turning away from music). I would love to hear a solo album. I love his voice and his writing.
I saw an "Imperial Drag" sticker in a club thay played at over a year ago. It made me really sad that I will never see them play. =(
Roger hasn't 'joined' Beck's band. He's touring with Beck, playing keyboards, and hey, what could possibly be the downfall? There are alot of fun sounds to play and he's touring Australia AND he's making good money! I say good for him! Roger is very, very talented and Beck deserves someone of his stature. I would figure the only bad thing is it puts whatever will be ID on hold for that much longer. Fear not, they will come 'round again soon. This time it won't be with such a flake of a singer! Icky, meanwhile is helping Jane Weidlan (sp?) with some Frosted demos and Joe is still kickin' it around with Gracie.Kepp the messages posting kids!
Very sad to see I.D. split. Hey Eric, you got some CD quality demos you'd like ta share with us fans?!?! : )
...or even some microcasette recordings?
Hey Jason...You still owe me for saving your life in Dallas...A new album with Rog would be payment enough!
I can't believe you've left me again.....although i suppose I'd rather have you leave me as the musically sound band you were, and not become some musically unfeeling band just for the sake of your record label...You brought me joy, love, and light where before there were only clouds, and now there's a rainbow, assuring me that in some cosmic realm, this is all for the best.....Thank you for your music, your wit, your "realness" and your laughter.......Should I go before you, I leave you my Volkswagon microbus which still PROUDLY displays the Imperial Drag autographs across the passenger door (I'll never forget the FIVE hour drive to see you that night) Peace & Love & Truth
I heard that Eric Dover and Andy Sturmer are doing acoustic recordings together and may be doing a brief tour of the west. Any truth to that? -B
Joe, I would like to know a bit (more) about the recording of the album. Specifically, what was your approach to achieving the 70's-ish yet 90's sound? I would like to know: Headphones or monitors? What kind of drum kit was used? (I mean the kick sounds HUGE) And what miked it? Basic tracks were recorded mostly live, eh? Anything you were particularly proud of in the way of ingenuity?
I would really like a japanese ID CD.... extra songs, you know.... how do I go about getting this?
We should be able to buy the "Boy Or A Girl" video from SOMEBODY. Then again, it's no big deal.
Andy & Eric together again? Really? Strange.
Sorry to take up so much room. Thanks, Adam
I don't believe that Eric and Andy are doing anything together...How did you hear that? BTW,I'm going to LA to see Poptopia shows in Feb. If any of you will go there,meet at the Kyle Vincent+the Tories show! and one more,check my brand new website!----> http://plaza23.mbn.or.jp/~smalls/
