What are the plans for Spin Doctors and its members for 2009? SpinDoctors-Archive.com was able to do a short interview with Aaron Comess about what to expect from the Doctors this year.
If they exist, what are the “Spin Doctors plans” for 2009 – touring, recording etc.?
Aaron Comess: We usually start receiving gig offers in the next few months so hopefully they will come in and we will be available to do them. There is already talk of some gigs in Norway for the summer. No recording plans for the immediate future but we have talked of doing some writing sessions this year so we will have some new material should we decide to record. We all love the doctors and will keep it going for sure.
With Mark being the new bass man for the Heavy Pets and you and Chris having all your solo projects, is there still enough time for the Spins?
AC: Speaking for my self I have always been able to juggle my other work with the spin doctors. Hope fully we can all keep that going and the other projects will not interfere to much.
Do you have any ideas what Eric Schenkman is doing at the moment (besides farming)? Any musical projects?
AC: I know Eric does the occasional gig or session in Toronto.im sure he is keeping busy with music and is always growing as a player.
You’re involved in a lot of solo projects and collaboration work. Which one do you look forward to the most?
AC: I am lucky to get the opportunity to play with so many great musicians and songwriters. I try to put as much effort and care into all of the projects I do.
Do you know when the True Nature album featuring you and Chris will be released?
AC: I think that is coming out very soon. That was a fun project and the record came out great.
Update: The True Nature EP is out now (see news above). Also, Mark White recently sent a message to all Spin Doctors fans on Facebook: “Just would like to say thanks to all our fans. We’ll be doing some fancy live shows this summer, so get ready!!!”
