SpinDoctors-Archive.com had the chance to do a short e-mail-interview with our friend Aaron Comess about all things Spins 2008…:
Q: There are rumors about a Joan Osborne UK tour in Feb with you on drums, are the rumors true?
Aaron Comess: “True… I am going to be doing a short 3 gig tour in England with Joan… I think it is London, Manchester and somewhere else… The dates are Feb. 4 5 and 6 I believe… Sorry I don’t have the exact info.”
With you being busy in studio and Chris being busy with his solo record and the Time Bandits, what is the perspective for Spin Doctors in 2008?
AC: “No real plans for the band this year except to keep it together and play some gigs when we are all free. There has been some talk of doing some short club runs if we can get it together. We all love being in the spin doctors and have no plans on not doing it in the future.”
In a Myspace comment, Chris answered the question “have we seen the last SD album” with “no”. Is there anything more that you can / want add to that?
AC: “No plans to make another record at this point but I’m sure the time will come when we will again.”
What is Eric doing except farming? It’s hard to keep up with his stuff as he isn’t exactly an “online” person… Can you help us?
AC: “Eric does some gigs and sessions up in Canada and continues to be one of the best rock guitar players on the planet in my opinion.”
What are the next CD/download releases featuring Aaron Comess?
AC: “I just did a record with an artist names Carrie Rodriguez for blue note with Malcolm Burn producing. We are doing a few more tracks the first of the new year.
He is a really terrific artist in the Americana vain. Keep an eye out for her. The record will be released this spring. Another NYEP record is in the can and will come out some time this year. Going in the studio with Saul zonana and Leslie Mendelson in January for their records to be released later this year as well.”
