New Brad Tour, Album, and Re-release News

I did a search and didn't find anything so here we go...

I just listened to a podcast available for free on the iTunes marketplace. The name of the podcast is "The Dig Me Out Podcast" and it's dated February 7, 2012. The great singer Shawn Smith was interviewed by the hosts about his experiences as a musician and more specifically about the creation of Satchel's classic album "EDC". At the end of the podcast Smith mentioned that there had been a lot of work done for a new Brad album and he specifically mentioned an April time frame for it's release. That information was followed by him mentioning that all of Brad's albums were going to be re-released. No specific time frame was given for the re-releases but the Podcast hosts did inquire about whether the re-releases would come out on vinyl.

The specific Brad related information starts here: 1:24:17 and you can read a transcript of the relevant section below. All hearing/typing errors are mine.

Shawn Smith: "Yeah we're going to tour a little bit and, I think, re-release our catalog... we got all our stuff back from Sony so we're going to re-release it."

Host: "Maybe on vinyl?"

SS: "Yeah. Vinyls a high priority so... Everything will be on vinyl."

H: "And that'll all be available through The Establishment Store?"

SS: "No... We signed a deal with a record label called Razor & Tie (http://www.razorandtie.com/), which, it'll be going through some other channels. I don't even know, is The Establishment Store still there? I haven't looked in a while."

H: "It was about five minutes before I started the podcast because I wanted to make sure I had all of the links."

SS: "Okay great. Probably there... and iTunes and all that jazz."

H: "Maybe when you put out the new... When you re-release the stuff, I know there's a lot of B-Sides, especially for the Brad (stuff)... (Will you) re-release some bonus tracks?

SS: "Yeah that's what we're being asked to do for the first two records and I just... There wasn't... I don't think there was any bonus tracks on Shame. We did that record in three weeks and I'm pretty sure that's all there is. And Interiors we already put out some B-Sides. I don't know where any of those things are but we're looking. *laughs*

Note: Razor & Tie's webpage and artist roster do not currently list Brad so hat's off to Tim and Jason at The Dig Me Out Podcast for the scoop!
