Fanatic! Writing to you from Ushuaia, Argentina. If you look on the map, you will see how there isn’t much further I can go before I run out of Argentina to be in.

Tomorrow, I will be boarding a small ship for Antarctica, where I will spend about a week and a half and then return to Los Angeles.

I just got an email from our good pal Tim Presley. You know him from White Fence and Drinks. He has a new record out on Castle Face called W-X. He sent me the tracks, which are taking forever to download, but slowly they are arriving. Sounds really cool.

You can go to the Castle Face site and check out information on the release here.

I immediately ordered up on the white vinyl edition and can’t wait to hear it.

The last few days have been busy. I was in Belgium in rehearsal for the rollout of Gutterdämmerung, which we did in London. We had nine-hour days in a production hall and then all the gear and us were moved to London. We did the show on Thursday night. I flew to Los Angeles the next morning and arrived in the evening. Had enough time to re-pack and head back to the airport in the morning for Buenos Aires via Houston. One a half days in BA and then flew here a few hours ago.

Tour dates are starting to fall in for 2016. Kiev, Ukraine and Tel Aviv, Israel just came in for early February. There will be many more to follow. When we have things booked past what we have already posted, we will post the information so anyone interested will be able to access it.

Some great tunes below, which of course, I hope that you enjoy. If you notice, we rock some Kraftwerk at the end of our first hour. May I take this opportunity to encourage you, yet again, if you have not already, to check out the Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution documentary. It’s a great piece of work and will get you psyched on finding out more about Kraftwerk and the bands from their scene. I have watched it three times now and keep it on my iPad so I can go back to it now and then. I just watched it again on some cramped flight the other day. I can no longer remember which flight is which, I am on so many these days. I am happy to say I am off the plane for at least a week and a half.

Off the plane, but I think this is what’s waiting for me.

Apparently, there is the potential for a lot of hurling.

There is snow falling past my window!

Keep your tubes warm and STAY FANATIC!
– Henry
