We asked Geoff Rickly if it was a humbling experience playing in a successful band when we interviewed Thursday in 2009. “I think it’s a little of both,” he said. “Sometimes it makes you feel great about yourself because there are all these people singing, but other times you haven’t showered in three days because you can’t — and that’s very humbling.”
The time has come, dear friends, for a new album from United Nations. The project, spearheaded by former Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly, will be putting out their long-awaited sophomore album this summer. It’s called The Next Four Years.
Do you remember when we interviewed Thursday in 2009 when the Knitting Factory was still alive in Hollywood? They told us about their evolution over the years and talked in length about the impact of their record Full Collapse. But why the break up? And what’s former frontman Geoff Rickly up to these days?
It’s true!
United Nations (Thursday, Pianos Become The Teeth) announced an East Coast tour, which kicks off later next week.
