Switchfoot questions anybody?

I will be doing an interview with Switchfoot so if you have any questions go ahead and post them here. I’ll take them until the beginning of next week. As you all know, Switchfoot have their 7th studio album coming out November 10th, Hello Hurricane. They also have a headlining tour planned in smaller venues than usual and they will play Hello Hurricane in its entirety along with a few old favorites.

if to Jon Foreman:
what was it like working and touring with Sean Watkins for Fiction Family? Are collaboration projects something you enjoy doing and would wish to continue in the future?

Are the tour dates that are posted on the SF website the whole HH tour, or will you be adding additional shows?

I’d like to add to the chorus of questions concerning whether Switchfoot is going to be playing more shows on the Hello Hurricane tour. None of the places currently listed are in the midwest. It’s all concentrated in the west and the south.

Yeah, I’m hoping that this is just the first leg of the tour as well since they are coming no where near me. However, by the time this interview is done that question will likely already be answered one way or another. I need more questions than the same one from 5 different people. :-P

I think Switchfoot or one of their fan clubs linked up this post. All these comments were in moderation for me to approve today.

Hah, I may be partly to blame for that Brandon. I needed a better variety of questions and went to the source. Good for site traffic though, no? :-P

Switchfoot:
Thanks so much for giving us a window into the making of HH. It seemed the journey you were on to complete this album were at times difficult and challenging yet you faced the challenge head on and in the process completed multiple albums, so many times if we are not alert to what is going on with us and around us we can miss what the journey wants to teach us about ourself and the people around. Question – What do you think the journey to HH has taught you guys about yourselves individually and as a group, and how do you see your songs making a difference in people’s life.

Hey Guys:
I know you said you will be switching things up a bit on the HH tour so is there any possibility of seeing Chad and Drew singing backup, I think it will be awesome to see them singing especially Drew I think he is just waiting to break out in songs he is so funny and it would be so rad to see Chad killing those drums while belting out those vocals. luv u guys.

Jon and Tim I know you write most of the songs and it is so great to see both your names on the HH album [yeah]. Question have you ever sat down to write as a group, and if so how did it go or not go, or do you prefer as a group to have just one or two writers.

Your music videos are always a highlight of anything you guys do. They’re humorous, poignant, and very creative! Are there any music videos planned for any of the songs on HH? If so, when might we see one?
