Jason (SMP) will be playing drums on the Chemlab tour and simultaneously working on a new SMP record so that’s in the future, I just hung out with Jim and Brit from iScintilla and we’ll probably start on their next record when I get back from tour. I’ve thought about seeking management for this whole producing bands business – but I’m pretty sure (unless you’re out in LA doing metal) that era has passed us by.
