Leigh Nash, Astronaut Pushers (Sixpence revisited)

---

OK, so if you've been reading this (or Unfound Bloom proper, not that it's updated much anymore) for any amount of time, you know that I'm a huge fan of Sixpence None the Richer. Well, I've heard from four former band members in the past three months, and I'm ready for some of their new projects. OK, so you've already heard me profess my love for Tess Wiley's latest album, but I'm guessing you haven't heard the new Astronaut Pushers EP. You can download two songs at that link though. AP is the band that Matt Slocum (guitarist/cellist/lyricist for Sixpence) is in now. Sam Ashworth (Yeah, that guy I meant to review the concert of that I saw last June) is also in Astronaut Pushers, alongside Lindsey Jamieson and Superdrag's John Davis. It's a cute little supergroup. I know though, most people around here remember Sixpence's vocals more than anything - well, I happen to know where you can listen to solo material for Leigh Nash's upcoming (early '06) album.

Just because I can, I feel like bragging that I got an e-mail from The Fatherless and the Widow-era Sixpence bassist T.J. Behling the other day. That's in addition to the Sixpence mailing list getting a visit from Leigh and of course, our buddy Dale Baker is always over there.

I guess it's time to mention that I'm going to be moving to a place not too far from where Dale lives soon. I'm planning on doing the whole "groupie" thing. I'm sure that'll help keep this blog (and possibly the regular part of the site too) exciting for the months to come. Heck, maybe I'll even get around to writing something about it sometime too.
