ATHEIST's Kelly Shaefer Checks In
October 14, 2008, 15 years ago
ATHEIST vocalist/guitarist Kelly Shaefer has issued the following update:
"My net connection as of late is really slow, so my apologies if it takes me a minute to answer your letters. The end of an era of sorts went down here in my hometown, after 11 hrs I closed Kelly's Rock and Roll Smokeshop in Sarasota, Florida. With a new Atheist album that needs to be written and recorded, a 2.86 yr old that needs her Daddy's undivided attention, and an economy that is easily the worst it's ever been in my lifetime, I closed the doors... but we do have a ton of work to do, and I really want to work hard on making the next chapter of the legacy of Atheist and we will not sleep till it rules!So I will be heading to the ATL just after Skyelilly's Birthday 11/11 zipping back home for turkey day, and then back to the lab for more technical metal brewing. We hope to have it ready by spring 09 and then it's off for some/lots touring, and hope to hit some countries we have not been to, as well as ones we have not been to since 93. Australia, Scotland,Ireland, Holland, as well as of course Germany, Italy, Scandinavia etc.
Just did a painting for an auction that Brenda Johnson asked me to paint, it is of brian in a colorful early eighties era pose, but dark as well. I will post the pic on here in a moment.
I am also posting the track 'Ivory Vines' from the PYROCLASTIC demo, it was a song we wrote in the same sitting as 'Green Revolution' very sludgy, enoy, tell friends. We have some great ideas for a Pyroclastic album in the near future, but for now you can download the demo free at myspace.com/pyroclasticmetal
We will be buckling down on Atheist for a quite a while, can't wait till 09!"
