Changes in the band

Did anyone read this interview Eric did with Eric from Fruit Bats?

There's an interesting sentence in it:
It’s funny to say it, but the 10-year anniversary Fur tour felt kind of like our last tour. Like a closing. Does that make sense? I knew there were changes coming with the band, so making the record I wasn’t thinking I’d tour it. 


Has someone left??  Say it aint so!

Pretty difficult to tour the new record both because of Covid and because its vibe is so mellow - would it have really suited the band ? Eric could have toured it solo.

Fingers crossed for dates soon.

Controversial theory: This IS an Eric early solo record. Do the rest of the band actually play on it at all?

In other news, Blitzen Trapper will play a livestream show on Bandcamp Live on May 7. It's a full band show -- Eric will be backed by Brian Adrian Koch (drums/vocals), Nathan Vanderpool (bass/vocals), and Michael Blake (guitar/piano) -- and the first they've played since releasing Holy Smokes Future Jokes. Tickets are on sale now.

It's my understanding most if not all BT records only have Earley playing on them.  Saw the new line up. Good but a far cry from the absolute UNIT the old line up was live
