After I talked to EMI, I talked to Ralph and then asked Moe to talk to the other band members. The idea was if they're going to get together to record these songs, they might as well go do some shows, so we're planning a national tour for December, and will hit most of the major cities.

I had a meeting with all the people there (EMI) and they haven't heard the new tracks yet, but they're excited about the prospect of working it. We actually have a tentative date scheduled for the single, which is going to be delivered to radio the week of Oct. 10, and they're going to ask for adds on Oct. 17. There's not going to be a new video.
