More offspring!

Gusterrhoids,

We've got another baby girl to welcome into the ever-expanding Guster family. Sloan Sullivan Gardner, the sleeping/pooping/burping by-product of Adam and his wife Lauren's love, joined us on May 16th. There's a beautiful photo up on the road journal, which is really just a baby announcement journal this year. We've got another Guster baby due this month.

Meanwhile we've found time to write a big batch of new songs and we can't wait to record them. This summer? We'll have to see how it all balances with the newcomers. But we expect to have an album finished this year and a tour ready to go in early oh nine.

And those of you who like all you can eat buffets and sea legs with your Guster: Our barenaked friends are mixing it up with some new bands next year, so we're paddling our little rock 'n roll dinghy over to the Mayercraft Carrier and hitching on for the ride on March 27th, 2009, returning March 31st. Join us!

Until the next baby!

Music and babies and email communication

Gusterrhoids -- We've been a distant and incommunicative rock band over the past few months, and for that we apologize. Or should I say I apologize, as it's really me, the drummer, the Rosenworcel, who's the gatekeeper of the band email list. And in this time of music and babies and email communication, I allowed certain offspring to take precedence over others. Forgive me, there is much to celebrate:

My daughter Jolene was born February 6th, and I've been slowly redefining my relationship with sleep and poop ever since. While there may be an influx of diaper-themed road journals on our website when we tour again, for now I've put a photo of my sweet little girl up there, to linger until the next Guster baby arrives in May, followed by a third Guster baby in June. Oh yeah! Now-is-the-time-in-Guster-when-we-make-humans!

But we're also well into the gestation process of another album, as we spent the winter working up songs on a slightly out of tune upright piano in Brooklyn. And believe you me it's not shaping up to be the mellow dad-rock album you might expect from a band of expecting band members. We're keeping it up. We're rollicking if not rocking. There's still time to write a bunch of sappy lyrics about daddyhood.

So this is what's on our plate. Make more babies. Make an album. Eventually play our instruments live again but not for a while. Remember to check in every now and then with the people out there who remember us well. Many thanks for sticking with us, life is good over here.

Yukon Kornelius

Exciting holiday announcements, Gusterrhoids!

1) The Joe's Place DVD is now online as a pre-order link. Also known as "D.F. Yonkman's Greatest Hits," also known as "Guster Can't Act for Shit," this is a collection of our Joe's Place episodes, bonus Joe's Place footage, and many other video collaborations between our band and our friend Dave's camera. It's 8 bucks.

2) But that's not all! Among our exciting holiday announcements is this one: We can't promise it'll reach you before Christmas, like we expected. There was a little hang-up at the printing plant, so we still think it's likely your Joe's Place DVD will show up by Christmas morning, but no guarantees. Those of you who have been banking on this as a gift idea will surely enjoy the ass-covering "this DVD is on its way to you" card we've made available for you to print off of our website.

3) There's a Guster Holiday Calendar website. I don't quite understand it, but it appears that we're clearing out our merchandise inventory by making one item available at a huge clearance price every day from now until Christmas. So you visit every day, and it tells you the daily special. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

4) Adam has a lot of holiday-themed stuff going on. His Chhannukkahh band, The LeeVees, are currently touring temples across the USA, and he's playing a benefit show with Stefan from DMB and Ed from BNL at the Pickle Barrel in Killington VT on January 9th. The band is called Yukon Kornelius and tickets are available here.

5) We're writing songs right now... which means a Guster album is only a few years away! (Or maybe sooner).

Much love and happy holidays,

g
