SICK PUPPIES RECORDING ACOUSTIC VERSION OF ALBUM
12/3/2010
Australian rockers Sick Puppies will issue a deluxe edition of their 2009 album Tri-Polar sometime in 2011, and the set will contain brand new, exclusive acoustic recordings of selected songs from the original release. Frontman Shim Moore told us more about it: ["We're gonna be recording that actually very soon and getting it ready for a deluxe version of the album. And there's gonna be the full CD that you can get with all the songs on it, and then on the flip side, it'll have probably just a little more than half the record recorded acoustically. And it'll also have like the songs you're not expecting, like 'You're Going Down,' the really heavy ones. We've figured out an interesting way to sort of turn that into a ballad, so we're not sure how it's gonna turn out, we know it's gonna be good, but we're not sure exactly what it's gonna sound like. It's gonna be an interesting take on it."] SOUNDCUE (:24 OC: . . . take on it.)
•Tri-Polar came out in July 2009 and features the singles "You're Going Down," "Odd One" and "Maybe," the latest Top 20 track from the CD.
