News from the Newsboys

Email update from the Newsboys with a message from their drummer, Duncan Phillips.
Well,
2009, was a challenging, and exciting year. After finishing "The Way
We Roll Tour" this past fall, we have dived back into the studio.
It's such a different head space than touring. We feel this new record we're
working on is a pivotal point in our career and we look forward with excitement
and expectation. This record is turning out to be not only some of the
best newsboys songs I've heard, but some of the finest vocal performances of
Michael's and our career. Our passion, enthusiasm and focus are off the
charts!
With the big changes the band went through this past year, we knew our work was
cut out for us. At every show, we felt we had something to prove... and we had
to win. Kind of the same feeling we had when we first jetted to the US
full of drive, passion and purpose. This mission has not changed.
These are feelings and emotions we have not felt in a while, and we liked
it. As a band, it pulled us closer. It's been a win-win.
Yet this is a change. It will sound different. It has given us on
incredible opportunity to reinvent ourselves once again. We've been here before
and we've just gotten stronger. I guess you could call it newsboys
2.0. I'm convinced that this transition is ordered by Lord. There
is no way that we could have pulled this off, if that wasn't the case.
My ongoing attempt to stay connected with you, the fans, has been an amazing
success. My efforts have been rewarded by an ever-increasing loving
community that we've built on Facebook . I attempt to and am
successful most days to visit and make comments and status updates. This
is always been my heart, but up until this social technology was available, it
has been impossible.
Also, my personal website, DuncanPhillips.net, is being
revamped. The look and feel of it will be made well... simpler. Via
Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and YouTube I make regular text, photo
and video updates. My online store is also expanding with brand
new t-shirts, 8x10s, signature drum sticks, drum heads and more. Please come
and visit either DuncanPhillips.net or TheSquizz.com.
newsboys are currently on their Winter Jam 2010. This is going to
be a brand new show. We are definitely stepping it up - we'll be hitting
you guns a blazing! Production, as always, will be world class. Some you've
seen, some you haven't. We are ready and hungry....the 'boys are back in
town, so... look out!
