...In the meantime, Gossard and his bandmates in Brad (including ex-Satchel
principals Shawn Smith and Regan Hagar) continue to polish their as-yet-untitled
third album. The set is not yet attached to a label, but Gossard says
he is hoping to tour "the United States and probably try to even
do a little bit of Europe" in support of it sometime next summer.
Brad recently completed a short West Coast trek, during which the group
honed new songs it has written since its initial recording sessions this
past spring. In an attempt to bottle the energy of those performances,
the group may move upcoming sessions away from Gossard's Studio Litho
in Seattle.
"We may even record at our rehearsal space," Smith says. "We're
trying to figure out a way to capture some of the stuff that was so good
live. We want to present a few of the songs that way."
Gossard, who released his debut solo album, "Bayleaf," in September
via Epic, has also posted the unreleased track "Shame on You"
for streaming on his official Web site.
