Hi folks!
Well: it’s news time once again! We write with an update, then, to let you know that The Reasoning are travelling at full tilt towards a bombastically busy 2010…and beyond.
We’re incredibly proud of everything we have achieved with both Awakening and Dark Angel. The albums represent wonderful periods of our lives, but we are now in the process of creating something new and exciting, and the new material is shaping up to be our very best yet. Amidst a hectic writing schedule (which thus far has been natural, relaxed, productive and - more than anything else – a lot of fun!), we have also been working steadily on a plan of action for the next year in the life of The Reasoning which would enable us to tour more extensively, and to bring our music to you!
Our plans for 2010 are now consolidated, involve a number of “phases”, and look something like this: Phase 1
• ALBUM(S): Write, record and release album ONE of TWO. And yes – you read that correctly – we will be releasing two albums in 2010 (with an approximate playing time of 35 minutes each). The first album will be released in April 2010 and we’ll be taking this on the road throughout April and May.
• TOUR: Our “Spring” tour (as already advertised) is as follows:
21st April 2010 Mr. Kyps, Poole, Dorset 22nd April 2010 Fibbers, York 23rd April 2010 The Fleece, Bristol 24th April 2010 O2 Academy2, Islington, London 25th April 2010 Robin 2, Bilston, Wolverhampton 29th April 2010 The Met, Bury 30th April 2010 The Cathouse, Glasgow 2nd May 2010 The Y, Leicester 13th May 2010 The Junction, Cambridge (Supporting Wishbone Ash)
Album 1 will not be available prior to the tour. It will be on sale at the shows, pending a general release after the tour. These dates will showcase Album 1 in its entirety, and the set lists will also include material from Awakening and Dark Angel. Phase 2
• Cathedral Management are currently in the process of confirming European tour dates for later in 2010, as well as festival appearances during the summer.
• Following the release of Album 2 in Autumn 2010, The Reasoning will be hitting the road once more (dates are being confirmed and will be announced shortly) to promote ALL of the new material…with a few oldies thrown in for good measure. Phase 3
• An exclusive one-off London show (on a BIG scale!) is planned for December 2010. As an end-of-year “special”, we’ll be performing all of the new material live…the show will also be recorded (and quite possibly filmed) for a future live album/DVD release in early 2011. Some fantastic times beckon – and we can’t wait to get stuck in! So there you have it: The Reasoning are coming for you. The album titles will be released in due course and further announcements will be made very soon.
Thank you as always for all of your support, encouragement, enthusiasm and for your unconditional confidence in us. You mean the world to us all...and we can’t wait to see you soon!
Keep rocking! The Reasoning xxx
