2007 In Review by Daryl Palumbo

Tuned A.D. magazine has interviewed Daryl Palumbo regarding 2007 and what he has planned for 2008.

Tuned: Tell us about your year…

Daryl Palumbo: It was a busy ass year. I toured the whole year on the Head Automatica record and did a bunch of Glassjaw tours as well. Plus, I DJ’d a bunch of parties all across the fuckin world, so I was pretty happy. It was the busiest year of my life probably.

Tuned: Were you glad to come back to the UK this year?

Daryl Palumbo: Oh yeah of course man. I’ve been waiting to come back to the UK for like 5 or 6 years. It was like a dream come true; it was the most eventful piece of my year and the happiest period.

Tuned: Europe was the highlight of ’07 then?

Daryl Palumbo: In a way, yeah. Doing the whole Head Automatica tour across Europe was so amazing, as were the shows in the UK. And then to finish off with two Glassjaw shows – the first UK Glassjaw shows since 2003 and one of them at Brixton… Amazing! Getting Cardboard City off the ground was a highlight too; 2007 was the year that it all stepped up a gear. We’ve started doing a lot of Cardboard City parties everywhere; Nick, Glue and I have been doing a lot of DJ sets and Glue and I got to spin a lot across Europe. There’s just been so much shit this year you know!

Tuned: What’s been soundtracking your year?

Daryl Palumbo: A lot of bumpin’ house music, a lot of old pop music, a lot of random German rock bands from the 60’s and 70’s…I’ve dedicated a lot of my year to Frank Zappa of course, as I have the past 20 years of my life.

Tuned: 2007 was quite an eclectic year for you musically; what lies ahead in 2008?

Daryl Palumbo: Yes it has been, and I think 2008 is going to be even more so. The more eclectic the better really - it makes every project better I think. In ‘08 I’m gonna do a new Head Automatica record, new Glassjaw album, second Sports record, the House Of Blow album…a lot of shit! And this year I’ll hopefully get the United Nations record together too, which is me and Geoff from Thursday.

Yay finally danceinmyblood is starting to post news again. Wacthced some old Glassjaw show videos from way back in '99. "And don't tag in the bathroom. You're lucky we even got a place to play!" Ahaha. Wow, really excited about next year. New GJ/HA/SPORTS/ and House of Blow material?! YES!
