After and AMAZING show in Arhus, Denmark last night, we had a nice day off in Copenhagen today. Went to the 17th century Rosenborg Castle and saw the crown jewels and then basically walked around in the rain and took in the sights. The weather was a bummer, but we had a good time hanging out with each other and trying to figure out the underground in Danish. And apparently the famous mermaid statue lady is in China right now, so... thanks China! Oh, and Leeland lost his wallet. : (

Now for a bit of sleep and a flight to London tomorrow. peace!

Family time!]]> http://www.leelandonline.com/blog/entry/tour-is-over-family-time- Hey guys!

So we've been at home for a few days enjoying some R&R with our families. The tour was amazing, but there were 26 shows packed into a little over a month! That makes for very few days at home (zero home days for some people on tour) as well as tired voices, and general loathing of bus bunks. Don't get me wrong, there are very few cons about touring, and the pros definitely overpower them. We have to pinch ourselves every once in a while and remember how blessed we are to get to live our dream.

The Night of Worship tour was particularly important for us, because our heart as a band is to lead the church and non-churched to Jesus. And we did just that. People were really impacted by the worship that went up, the word of God that was spoken, and the appeal we gave for Food for the Hungry.

We're really grateful that people showed up to the shows and dived into worship. Leeland got to share every night that our songs really mean nothing if we're not actually living a life to and for God. This tour drove that message deep into my heart and I'm changed because of it.

Here's a few more pix from the last week...

 

Matt Maher played an amazing set every night. Buy his record here! Top notch songs.

 

We've signed some crazy things (toasters, fruit, etc). This definitely makes the list. So random.

Playing some "team horse" with Phil and Taylor. We JUST thought of playing with two man teams instead of one on one. Crazy! It's so cool, try it. It get's out of hand and you start trying to do back flip dunks and stuff.

After the last show, we had our last supper.

And of course, you can't leave a diner without a shake. We slept well that night (for 3 hours until our 4:30 lobby call! ouch).

 

And the early flight home was worth it, because I made it home to this guy! Notice the Sound of Melodies onesie. Pretty awesome!

 

We're at home for a few more days until we head out to Brazil. Can't wait! We need to practice our Portuguese and our soccer skills. We'll give you some updates from South America this week!

 

love,

jack

Had a million interviews and stuff and got to share our thoughts on the new record. We're like little excited kids because we're fresh from the studio after recording it. It's been a VERY good week.

We spent some time with Food for the Hungry and discussed our upcoming trip to Cambodia & Bangladesh! Sooooooooooooooooo pumped!!! We're going to visit our sponored kids and see the work the FH is doing in southeast asia.


Leeland found Brandon Heath's Nasa oven mitts while we were at his house with Joy FM. We premiered our new song "Follow You" on the morning show! Brandon works his guest vocal magic on the song and it's brilliant i tell you! Brilliant!


Leeland gravitates to the instrument in the room in between interviews . He's writing a tune about a fairy tale or something.


Watched Jars of Clay perform their new single "Two Hands". Soooo good. Do you guys have their new record?



Got to hang out with our new friend Nick Jonas. Great guy!


About to do an interview and we're pretty tired. It went well though. Mike told a story that took about 15 minutes to tell and it was hilarious! haha. We gave him a hard time about it, and he took it in stride. A true friend!


The best way to tan during interviews.


Got to see my brother in law's new short film "Devil's Shoestring" at the Nashville Film Festival. It's a great cautionary tale.

We're in Nashville writing more songs! They just keep coming and we're gonna record as many as we can. Below are some iPhone pix of what a typical writing session with Leeland is like. He plays musical chairs with every instrument in the building...









PS... For those who didn't hear... Mike got in a 4-wheeler accident a week ago. It was pretty serious, but it could have been much much worse. He's out and about now, and feeling much better. God really protected him and we're very thankful for that. Thanks for the prayers! -jack

Dinner in Houston]]> http://www.leelandonline.com/blog/entry/breakfast-in-newfoundland-dinner-in-houston
3,600 miles of travel today. We woke up this morning had breakfast in Gander, NL.... lead worship at YC and then got on three flights back to Houston. We just had dinner at Pappasito's with our families. (If you haven't had their fajita's please come to Texas for them.. it's worth the trip!) It was a wonderful weekend in the beautiful island of Newfoundland. It's the province where Irish, French, and British descentdants have morphed together to make real treasure of a place. Everyone was so kind and hospitable to us. We can't wait to back. And appartentley they taught pirates how to to talk really cool the way Jack Sparrow does.

It all made for a wonderful weekend at YC 2008. The kids in the crowd were amazing and sought after God with us. God's presence was so evident and the worship was so pure and genuine. We loved it!

Some random travel pictures from our journey to Newfoundland...

Ok... so here's a sampling of the music we found yesterday...
  1. Roy Orbison  "You Got it"
  2. Bruce Springteen "Dancing in the Dark"
  3. Bon Jovi "Livin' on a Prayer"
  4. Lionel Richie "Dancing on the Ceiling"
  5. Tammy Wynette "Take me to your world"
  6. Jim Croce "Operator"
  7. Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear the Reaper"
  8. A-Ha "Take On Me"
  9. Anita Baker "Same Old Love"
  10. Thin Lizzy "The Boys are back in town"
Some of these songs are kind of crappy, but some are genius. Tell us what's playing on your iPods right now... we're music lovers and always interested in finding new stuff.

Currently Listening: Mates of State "Get Better"... Lee showed it to me. I love it!

We spent less than 72 hours away from home. Drove through beautiful scenery. Played two great shows and met some amazing people. All in a tour bus you may ask? No people... I'm talking about two matching Toyota minivans, the real way to travel.

Last night was a great time with a not so huge crowd but everyone had great hearts. They were all super worshipers! And tonight we played at a fair with Jars of Clay. It was a big crowd but I felt so bad for them because they were standing in pouring rain our entire set. They were champions though and stuck in there. It turned out to be another great worship time. Tonight was our first night to play "May Our Praise" live. I can't beieve we haven't played is sooner seeing as it's my favorite song on the Opposite Way record. Any ways, it went over very well, and we didn't mess up with the tracks so that's always good.

Here's some pix from the weekend...


Flew to Seattle.


The drive today was amazing. Leeland wanted to get out and climb it but we didn't have time.

ate at Red Robin...


kept driving...


jake in his emo hoodie... listening to his ipod and he totally can't hear anything we're saying to him.


Leeland's getting some wind here.



We got to the fair and played to the great people in the rain. These girls were awesome; they made custom Leeland hoodies to protect them from the elements.


I know this is kind of random... but I have to fill you in. Marcus (our sound doctor) never wears shoes. We give him a hard time about it. He might have learned his lesson here.


Oh... and then we made him put his hair up in a pony. We can't decide if he looks like the bad guy from "Kindergarten Cop" or the jerk instructor guy from "Karate Kid"? Thoughts?????



I'm armed with my pillow and a boarding pass with a window seat. Time to get on the red eye and try my best to sleep on the way home.

love love love!

We played with Kutless, Lincoln Brewster, & P.O.D. After Pastor Greg's message (which was so powerful and compelling) thousands of people came down and filled the outfield making decisions for Christ.

Here are some pictures from the last couple days.

Any ways, that was our roller coaster excursion. Also, we just got off stage and the show was amazing tonight. God really showed up and the worship atmosphere was intense.

Thanks for reading. We'll be back again soon. Much love!

Mike... havin' a little dessert.



Leeland in the work out room. Doing some pilates possibly?


Jake's lifting some mad weights here.



This is the front door (the only door for that matter) of our little home for the day...


Mike can sleep anywhere.


FIFA!

Soundcheck...

Mike's his own drum tech.


Ok... so when the airlines are charging us a million dollars per check in, you have to get pretty creative. Here we've tied the snare and cymbals together, turning two into one. Take that Delta!

After about 17 hours of travel we've arrived in Oslo, Norway. Our friendly hosts showed us around the beautiful city today. They were kind enough to put us up in a really nice apartment in the city centre.

I'm out on the balcony enjoying a clear crisp night, and using the beautiful gift of free WIFI. Thank God for free internet in Europe... it's the best. We're going to play at a church called Filidelfia tomorrow here in Oslo. We're excited to see who shows up, and as always were expecting a move of God!

I've had about three hours of sleep over the past 24 hours, so I'm going to hit the sack soon. Wish you guys were here with us, and pray for us as we prepare to minister tomorrow.

We made the mistake of climbing that...

the view down was pretty steep. I can't believe people are crazy enough to actually ski down this thing.
