  Roe VS. Pritzl CD?!??

I know that it's been recorded, and the last time I heard Mike say anything about it, he was waiting for Pritzl to mix it. Any chance this is coming out this year? The second tour especially was great, with both of them singing each other's songs. I'd love to have a permanent record of those performances.

Me too.

Last Fall I spent an entire weekend at Pritzl's house re-recording all my vocals and I know he did the same thing and added other cool stuff. Every time I speak with him he says he's 'working on it' but .....

All you guys who want this thing please write to him at michael@thevioletburning.com and beg him to mix it so it will come out.

Last fall or winter Michael Pritzl sent out an e-mail saying that Pritzl-Roe cd was nearly complete along with a couple of other projects that he expected to be released soon. There have been other e-mails / announcements since then, but none of them talk about the pending projects.

Email to Mr. Pritzl sent.

  RE: just as I figgered ....

All I got was a lame a$$ response from him, "No plans right now. Thanks"

What is his deal? Why doesn't he want to let this recording out?

He is currently ascribing to the 'theory of obscurity' put forth decades ago (unsuccessfully, I might add) by esoteric avant-garde band The Residents.

Hide. Create mystery and mystique. Build up hunger and demand by saying and doing nothing.

Who cares?

I keep forgetting there's a Roe/Pritzl unreleased project out there. Out of sight, out of mind.

  RE: just as I figgered ....

My point exactly Miss Linda

I think part of the problem is that he's not quite old enough to know what I know -- that you only have so much time to do this stuff in and that audiences and fans, even hardcore ones, move on. I certainly have, and on artists that I loved at least as much as you guys love us. Right now, all I'm getting out of any unreleased albums in the can is older and fatter.

(he did hint to me today that the project will come out 'this year', whatever that means ... )

Well, I for one won't forget this album is out there. I will however make dang sure that I forget all about some dude named Mike Pritzl.

So is Mike going to be the first Christian artist to wear an iconic eyeball mask on tour? That might be bigger news than Mr. Webb's potty mouth.

  Roe V. Pritzl

Pritzl got his bottom kicked in Round 1 & Round 2, and is not in a hurry to go on permanent record with the results.

I loved The Violet Burning's self titled and the Plastic and Elastic record. Aside from that, there's no other record that's really grabbed me as whole, even though I've pretty much bought everything he has put out. The Roe Vs. Pritzl thing in my mind has the potential to be the best Pritzl-related thing to come out in 11 years. I hope he goes through with it eventually. I'm kind of spooked to email him about it. Don't know if he's one of those "if they keep pestering me, I'll just sit on it longer" kinda guys.

He is. That's exactly it. He called my campaign to get you all to write him requesting the album 'the Roeians spamming me' and would have none of it.

Effer.
