New Music From The Dailies - All In

Well, if we had any hopes of keeping in the good graces of the CCM crowd, I think we can kiss them goodbye.  Anytime you use poker as a metaphor, I think you can forget your chances of a lot of airplay on Christian Hit Radio.

Please excuse me while I go on with my life.  

Erica came to me a week ago and said:  ”We need a mindless fist-pumper.  There are a lot of great songs, but as usual, they trend towards the thinky side of things.”  We sat down and started kicking ideas around, and within about, oh, I dunno, 45 seconds, we’d landed on this tune.

I think it has the biggest hook of the whole record.  Stick nominated this tune as The Dailies song most likely to get licensed by a casino.  I will say, truly, it’s not really about poker.  Erica and I are basically laying our lives on the line.  This season of our lives has been the biggest risk we’ve ever taken.  We’re going all in, and hoping that someone will call.  

Stay tuned next week, as we’ll post blogs all through the week from Eldorado, both here and at the official Dailies site.  

Hope you enjoy.  As usual, I’m sending you over to our website.

New Music From The Dailies - Signal Chain

Well.  I wish to assure Mike and Corey that I have not slunk off anywhere.  All of the bittersweet couplets are already written.  

This past week has been very, very busy.    Anyways… here is something new for you all to hear.  I will again send you to The Dailies website to hear it.  This one’s got a little fundie-bait in it, not to mention a pretty sweet bass part.  :)

Click here and enjoy!

New Music from The Dailies

Alrighty, I’ll break the blogging fast with a little demo-licious goodness.

For several weeks now, I’ve been blogging in obscurity over at our recently simplified website.  It’s been fun… a private little place for me to put my thoughts,  creating a little backlog of material for when we decided to make it known to ya’ll.  That time has come, we think.  

I won’t post the audio here, because I want you guys to go over there!  :)  Feel free to comment here or there, or anywhere.  I’ll continue posting material and then alerting the Addison Roadies about any and all new stuff.  We hope you enjoy!  There’s more discussion about the music itself on our blog.
