Last week “Percy Hill”:http://www.percyhill.com began recording music for what will be the band’s first studio effort since its Jammy Award-winning Colour In Bloom more than five years ago……….Lake Trout is performing limited dates as the group works up new songs. The band’s Matt Matt Piece explains, slightly defensively, ‘We were literally going to explode if we didn’t take some time off the road and lay down some new material. We appreciate all of your support and for those of you that came to multiple shows we promise to have lots of new material to play in ’04.’……….“Railroad Earth”:http://www.railroadearth.com will be off the road until February as the group is currently fashioning new material with an eye towards a May release.
