LOL there's a funny moment on that recording that just brought me back.

I yelled out "spinning song" to him and he laughs was like "uuuuh, I guess" and actually plays it. he never played that song acoustic before. It's all on the track

I forgot about that moment,

Man, thanks for the update and the show link. So glad "13 Cannot Be Divided" may finally see a proper release. I friggin love that song. When "Say Goodnight to the World" came out I asked him why he didn't include it. He said that it never really came together all the way. I've been having Dax withdrawals for 7 yrs now. He's my favorite artist hands down, and it's not even close. He's a big influence on my own music, not the lyrics, but def on some of the vocal styles. I used to be backstage with Acid Bath a bunch, was real tight with Sammy at the time, so I knew him a little back in the day.

Dax was a huge influence for me through college and I've seen the guy perform at least 15 times (was front row at his Voodoo Fest show).

My first born is coming in October and we decided a long time ago to name him Dax; it's such a unique name and if my kid gets just 1/8 of the talent Dax has he will be well set for music.

Thanks for the update on new music and shows.

I've heard a few new tracks he's mixing and even him sing a few. It's very tribal sounding (very close to Grave Dirt on my Blue Suede Shoes, LINK) But classic Dax.

He's taking his time, holed up in Lafayette (he's a bit of a perfectionist) but all he would tell me is "soon" when I pressed him. Said he would start playing shows before the release comes out.

I know it's not much but it seems sooner than later.

Did you name him Dax? Awesome name and tribute if you did.

Damn, 4 consecutive posts musick! I hope we hear something soon. It's been too long between albums. Thanks for all the updates, as always.

Dude, just read this 1.5 page long thread. Musick knows Dax and has provided several udpates.

I did read it and was just asking since last update was in September. I apologize but where I’m from, there’s not much of a good music scene and I’ve been waiting for Dax to come back :( this is the only site I’ve been able to find any current info on him now but I’ll try to be patient because I know whatever he’s working on will be worth the wait :)

I mean, 3 months in the music business is not a long time. I just assumed you hadn't read the thread because of your question. But like Musick said, he's taking his time with this one. From his updates, I would be surprised if we don't get some new material in 2019 or 2020.

That's really awesome! Welcome! This is a great eclectic music forum IMO. Lots of folks from different backgrounds in their taste in music so you get a little bit of everything here.

Musick provided an update in another thread related to Acid Bath. See below.

quote:

Last time I spoke with him he was working on new material, went to a studio, but would not give me a timeframe whatsoever. All I know for sure it's he's working on music.

I think he had a new kid, so my theory is, he must have made more than I thought on the iZombie TV contract for the theme song and he's just taking it easy, it'll be so eaassssaaaaayyy.

I'll try calling him up



It seems like he has material he is looking to release but doesn't seem to be in much of a rush to do it. Keep checking this thread as Musick is the man and comes through when he can.

Ok guys, well after a conversation here's the update:

His son (he only has one) Sy just graduated and he's spending more time with him right now hanging out, getting him on track, etc

He is continuing to record the new album. He has about 17+ (!!!) songs fleshed out, and a lot of it already recorded. He set up a home studio.

Speculation it quite possibly could be a double album, he's leaning towards that if he keeps nailing these songs.

No release date set but "soon" (it's always been "soon" he won't budge)

But after that info, it feels like it could be 2020 IMO.

That's all I got peeps.
