RE: keller williams/howie day
Yeah, I have read some recent Howie Day interviews and he
has a full band right now. He was having a hard time keeping the attention of
the audience and filling up big stadiums with a solo looping rig. Some reviewers
even attested to that as well.
Considering the fact that he made the cut and is in heavy
rotation on the new MTVUniversity channel and is about to blow up big, he
probably didn't want to risk disappointing audiences.
Although he has also commented that a full band is giving
him opportunities for sounds and textures and arrangements he could never get as
a solo performer - though you always wonder if that is just saying what the kids
want to hear. He sounds sincere though.
I just got the Madrigals EP myself, and have watched that
DVD about 20 times in the last two weeks. I just had it looping endlessly on my
DVD player for a whole day one weekend. My 6 year old daughter loves it!
Watching him do percussion on his guitar, and sound effects with his picks. . .
. .pretty cool.
There is a whole collection of articles on the Howie Day
fan site, related to looping, tours, band, etc. (and some teenybopper
mags)

see howie day on letterman (?) last nite, not a pedal in site and i didn't
