Following the release of “Pocket Full Of Kryptonite – 20th Anniversary Edition”, the band finished another two successful “PFOK 20th Anniversary” tours – an US tour in October and a European tour in January. Official live albums of five shows from the fall tour are available via Rock House Live. They include live performances of the whole PFOK album in sequence and lots of interesting “deep cuts” as encores, such as “The Drop”, “Gestalt’s Blues” or the original version of “‘Bout A Train”. Check the Discography site for details.
Chris’ Norwegian side project The Canoes released its first album “Booze And Canoes” on February 3rd (at the moment, it’s only available in Norway). The band participated in the national Eurovision semi-finals with the song “It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time”, but did not make it to the finals.
Meanwhile, Aaron finished recording an album with Joan Osborne. The blues / soul disc “Bring It On Home” will be released on March 27th and Aaron will join Joan for an extensive US tour in support of this album. In September, Aaron will be touring Germany with German rock superstar Westernhagen again.
So, what’s going on with the Spin Doctors in 2012? In an interview with SpinDoctors-Archive.com, Aaron confirmed that the band plans to record a blues album including material from the band’s early days (So Bad, The Drop, Traction Blues, What My Love etc.). Other than that, there will be live shows in the summer and the fall. You can read the full interview on our Facebook profile.
