I'm done touring with a computer.

After 4 or 5 years of touring with a computer, I've decided to leave it at home. My two Roland sp808s have proven more reliable on tour: No skips in a hard drive, no blue screen of death. The machine is simple and reliable. It is also loud as hell.
While I will be continuing my work using Ableton Live, all files for shows will be transferred to 100mb Zipp disks and I will operate that way. This will make my life easier, as each night I often worried if the computer was going to hold up.
One day when I can afford a laptop with a solid state hard drive and enough memory and ram to suit my needs, I will one again reformat my touring gear. So for now a clean, loud, and reliable old friend will be accompanying me while we play.

From what I hear, we are playing in Indiana on the 2nd, and have two other shows confirmed before we play Chicago, but I don't know where they are.

I'm excited to play the states again, see old and new places, and old and new faces.

(GROWTH by Travis Lawrence) Rosetta is having about 50 of these printed by PSprint for our upcoming tour with Junius and Starkweather. It would have been nice to have had these silk screened by Mike Wohlberg as I was originally wanted them to be. However doing so would have taken away from the detailed work Travis put into the piece.

So I've been included on a list....
