Yo, hate to be a pest but any more news on the DVD release date? It would be a nice birthday present to me if it was released in April! Thanks!

[sunai]

same here, my friends could buy it for me as a birthday present ! i hope its released in april

[Brakkum]

just curious if a trailer or something like that will be released prior to the full-fledged release?

I have now become accustomed to the idea of not expecting it so soon, so the way I see it is "it's going to be released before end of 2009 anyway" and then it will come as a pleasant surprise, whenever it comes!

That being said though I think we will get some kinda statement/info/previez/news in the weeks to come I believe(pure speculation)

It's not going to be April that it's released, unfortunately. But it should be out in the summer.

Steve is mixing it, and I'm working on the title sequence and then the artwork. There have been some delays as Steve has done some major upgrading to the Harmony Hut studio, along with some experimentation on the mix and using outboard gear rather than in-the-box mixing.

Cool!

Thanx for the info Mikey, I can't wait for the preview now, hoping this "quick fix" will calm our Vaiaddiction!

[Brakkum]

Sounds cool Mikey, thanks for the update!

[lukevo]

Mikey, we love you^^

thanks a lot for the update

Well I just read part way through Steve's article in Guitar World, is that really the name of the new DVD? And it says it just got released? Little mix up by the mag?

[Mikey]

Yes, the DVd is called "Where The Wild Things Are" - and yes, it's upcoming - not already released.

That's a great title. I remember he's been kicking around with it for a while, glad he finally got the opportunity to use it!

Hey Mikey,

Quick question/ suggestion.

Do you think or is there going to be a digital download of the new dvd for itunes? Tonight I was hoping to find a whole concert for sale but no luck

Just thought id ask or maybe give you an idea, thanks bro.

iTunes doesn't provide concert downloads like they do films. There will probably be a range of songs from the DVD available as downloads in the future, but it will be after the DVD is released.

Great news regarding a new dvd....looking forward to hearing something new - there are few artists which I truly enjoy listening to but Steve is certainly my favorite - I only wish I could hear some more of the recordings with other artists which I've still never managed to find (Ravi shankar, Heresy, and Japanese bands!!) - I wish that someone could post these rarities on an audio player for everyone to hear... I've been playing for several years but never managed to make it out of the bedroom - just posted some things on http://www.myspace.com/evansmusic2009" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; so any comments would be appreciated... just having a bit of fun!! Hope that Steve can make it back to Australia soon - not too many great musicians seem to make it over here any more.......
