They're playing in Williamsport tonight and the tickets are reasonable but I just don't have it.

I'm trying to rebuild my CD collection (most of it got lost or sold over the years). I picked these up for $3 each.

I've also had an old school marathon (thanks Spotify) today. I started with Read All About It and have made it up to Not Ashamed.

Sometimes I miss Peter Furler's extremely dorky white boy rapping.

HA!!!!!

Newsboys Announce New Single Featuring Peter Furler

The Cross Has The Final Word - Newsboys (featuring Peter Furler)

[Leboman]

Have any of you heard it?

Thoughts?

It sounds like what the Newsboys have become. I'm just curious as to Peter Furler's inclusion.

I'm probably making something out of nothing.

Their Facebook page has the cryptic message 12/13/17 and this photo came out today.

I'll post this here only because I posted it on your Facebook too.

Seriously, I bet Joel and Furler's royalties are running low now.

I saw the Newsboys in concert last year. They were really wonderful. They played a ton of songs, from the most current to the old favorites. Tait was charismatic and engaging, but different. I would love to see them live with Peter Furler (again).

Phil Joel perhaps, but if what I've from the few folks I know in Nashville is true, Furler isn't hurting for money.

Given what happened with John James I will always wonder if there was more to Peter's departure. I know I'm being cynical and speculative but it's not like they haven't done it in the past.

However, that's their personal business and they don't owe me any explanation.

I've seen them with James, Furler, and Tait fronting the band. I can honestly say that the show with James (opening night of the Take Me To Your Leader tour) was the best. Second would be the Love Liberty Disco tour in the inflatable dome. I do give Tait his due though. When I finally got to see that line up a year ago in Binghamton, NY it was one of the most entertaining shows I had been to in a while.

How much of a troll would it be if they announced a cruise?

That has been the running joke among my friends.

Also, can we state how weird they have been touring all this time without a bassist. I don’t count Frankenstein hitting a note on the keys to count.

Well, their newer material doesn't really sound like it has real bass guitar on it anyway so I don't really notice. The older stuff (which they don't do) would sound weird without one though.

They haven't been the same since John James left.

I don't remember who was fronting when I saw them. Not Tait. But either way, it was a fun show.
