The other day in the studio, Drew felt a little Bon Jovi comin' on, and thanks to the live webcam, we got to hear him when he burst into song. If you missed that beautiful moment, you can view it right here.
The guys are taking a little break from the studio to play some shows in the midwest, one of which is the Cadott Rock Fest in Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin. Chad recently spoke with Leader-Telegram.com about the concert:
"I don't cringe when people ask about my faith," he said. "But I don't feel that genre exists - it's something people put on you. I don't want to put up labels and walls that would make someone feel excluded."
"The strongest, most honest songs are asking questions and not throwing out answers," Butler said.
Lead singer Jon Foreman and his brother, Tim Foreman, wrote "Yesterdays," which is on the group's latest disc, "Oh! Gravity." Butler said the brothers routinely are asked about the song anywhere they go in the world.
"They wrote it together, but it means different things to each of them," Butler said. "A lyric can be interpreted in so many different ways."
Don't expect to hear too many ballads when Switchfoot performs at Rock Fest, however. Butler said the band likes to play loud.
"We keep it pretty upbeat," Butler said. "It's about bringing the rock. I have some great memories about sweaty rock shows in Wisconsin."
Switchfoot also recently played at Lifest in Oshkosh, WI, and some Youtubers uploaded a few videos of Jon's solo moments. This is Jon and Keith playing Twenty-Four in the Cafe area right after the guys' set:
the broken arm story always gets me.
