ATHEIST Continue Writing New Record
January 2, 2009, 15 years ago
ATHEIST vocalist/guitarist Kelly Shaefer has issued the following update:
"I cannot tell you how excited I am to be rid of 2008, it was one of my personal shittiest years in terms of of life in general. I am so stoked about this new year, and I think essentially, it is always good to have a fresh new start now isn't it? I might be leaving for Boston in about 10 days to do do a certain little documentary show, for a certain little network with the initials MTV. Can't say won't say, but if it goes down, I can promise you it will be good television for certain. I have a lot of new pics and video stuff I wanted to wait for the new year to post, and so I will try to get that done in between this Boston trip, and my trip back up to Atlanta to continue writing for the new Atheist record. We also have some other Atheist news to bust out here in a few days. New Years was totally insane here in Sarasota, much Jager was consumed and even more fun was had, with SkyeLilly safely tucked away at G-ma's for the night, I got to spread my wings a bit and bring in the new year the right way. We spent the better part of the night drinking at my friend Jurgen's bar O' Malleys on Main St. in downtown Sarasota, with a lot of great friends, to say it was eventful is to cheapen it LOL. My friend Josh's car got stolen,my other friend had an altercation with a dumbass who started shit with him in the parking lot and that he of course finished by knocking his punk ass out cold at like 4:30 a.m and was then put in jail for it...sucks!As I write this Skyelilly just blew my mind as she does everyday, but she just turned 3 and I have been working really hard with her on reading, counting etc. She counts to 100, and to 10 in Spanish hahah, and she just read this Backyardigan's book almost flawlessly, WOW Skyelilly! You folks who think having a child is a pain in the ass are really missing out on an unequal quality of life. Kids are just the best things ever...especially Skyelilly! Been playing tons of guitar as of late getting my DM chops back up to the Atheist calibre, doing tons of writing. This week I came up for what I think the next Atheist album will be called....cannot share just yet, but if I can get away with it, it will be brilliant. So 2009 promises to be quite a year and I can hardly wait to explore it! I hope you all had a safe, and Happy New Year!!!!"
