So, I leave for 10 days and news of an upcoming Weepies’ tour and Guster tour – both celebrating albums that I have portrayed my excitement for on this blog – hits the computer. Yeah, I see how it is, wait until I can’t write about it to release this information. That being said, The Weepies and Guster are done with the studio and are almost ready to pack up the instruments and please some crowds. The Weepies, their first album and tour since the birth of singer-songwriter’s Deb Talan and Steve Tannen’s child, and Guster, their first album since I was still in High School in 2006. This is the last time I saw them in concert as well. The pool of recent music information is making me gasp for air. Let’s get some album previews before I drown in it.

Oh yeah. Fans have been waiting for this release for two years. Be My Thrill has already produced two songs that have been successes on the internet. The song above is infectious like all Weepies material. It does not seem like they have lost a beat and the full Fall tour will prove to be exciting, fun, and happy.

Exclusive Song:
Excited?
Classic Guster and I can’t wait. The song is awesome. It is harmonious and easy and wonderful. Guster has not released an album in four years and I don’t see this being a flop. If the first song reflects the entire album, this will be a huge success and a great Fall tour
are you going to the guster concert in ithaca?
I really want to. It is prime location — only an hour away from my college in Binghamton — but, it is a Monday night and I have my Fall Internship early Tuesday morning. Plus, I may have a job three nights a week and I will have to see if Monday is one of those nights.
I will probably make a decision closer to. I saw them at the Beacon around 3 years ago and they put on an amazing show.
How about you? Will you be attending a Guster show during this grand Fall tour?
Hi! I’m going to the Guster show in Burlington VT. It’ll be my 9th show – you’re gonna love them! I will have to check out the Weepies; never heard them before. Enjoy!!!!
Amy
Wow…9th show, that’s great. They are just a fantastic band that keeps on rolling.
I think you will like the Weepies Amy. Check them out, it’s great stuff
I quite like reading through a post that can make people think. Also, thanks for allowing for me to comment!
