godspeed you! black emperor (a personal message)



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

after a decade’s retreat, god’s pee has decided to roll again.
we are, as always, stoked, stubborn, and petrified.
it’s been awhile, and left in the rain, the brakes have rusted and
seized- we’ll have to go at it with hammers probably, with elbow
grease and with fury, just like the old days all over again.
we look forward to it. also, moya’s back in the fold (hallelujah!)

what we’ve been up to since the last time= a handful of other bands,
and solitary roadtrips and wanderings, a couple of recording studios
built, and a restaurant and 3 live venues also. A film soundtrack
and 4 new kids and 3 new dogs. Dead-end jobs. Some farming and
vegetable gardens. A small record label. acupuncture as a livelihood.
and three of us just stayed on the road.

current plans= a.t.p.u.k, a handful of british and european shows,
and then 9 american towns.
until further introspection, WE WILL NOT BE FIELDING ANT OTHERS OFFERS.
nor will we be doing any interviews. inquiries directed to band,
record label, or bookers will not be guaranteed a reply. alls we
really want to do is the thing we do, heads down and leaned into
the squall.

between now and the live-dates, there’ll be rivers of noise and
distraction. and the internet is a petty tyrannical monster.
please remember that really all that matters is the keep on keeping on.
and all that really matters is the shows. and physical engagement
in the world. And folks like us and folks like you.
thanks for understanding, and thank you for still listening.

See you next winter.

xoxoxox godspeed you! Black emperor
