We are taking a week off and then next week we will go to mix. We will be mixing the record at legendary Prairie Sun Recording in Northern California. I cannot wait until this record is released, expecting to have it out in early 2010 and then we will tour like mad. We are all excited for next year."Listen to early versions of two songs expected to be on White Wizzard's 2010 full length followup, '40 Deuces' and 'Over The Top' on the band's official MySpace page.
