Yeah, I knew what was going on... but they never made an official statement on their FB or whatever. Im extremely excited for the new Candlebox record, but Im going to be honest, the last Gracious Few record BLEW "Into The Sun" away, so as you can imagine, I cant wait to hear more from them.

They've posted a lot about Candlebox, to my recollection. Not in great detail no, but I think that is just the way of an independent band that is sandwiched between two bigger bands I think. From what I can gather, it seems that things just kept changing. I have no doubt that they worked on getting a Fall tour, but these things don't always work out (other bands, funding, putting a crew together, etc.). It's the blessing and curse of not having major label backing. We get a lot more info, but it may not all pan out.

I totally agree with you on the Candlebox record (and the past three Live records). I'd love more TGF, but it seems like folks are still approaching Candlebox (and now Live) with opportunities, leaving TGF in a funny spot. I really just want to see a Live/Candlebox/TGF tour once Live gets things rolling.

It might be just me, but I always felt we'd get that one tour and album, and that anything beyond that would be a bonus. I made sure to milk those for all they were worth.

The problem was that they hyped it as a major announcement(which many fans took as a new show announcement or something similar). If they had just said, "we are going to be on the radio today at 5:30 to talk about a new cause that we are really excited about", none of the non-met expectations would have happened.

I reluctantly agree, common sense dictated that it wasn't going to be a tour or new album with the Live/Cbox stuff going on, but I thought, maybe a new track or a live recording or something.
Its admirable and you can't knock them for trying to do some good in this world, maybe just a better execution or choice of words.

Then again calling it a "major announcement" got people's attention and if they were trying to draw people in to let them know about the cause, that's one way.

I'm not pissed at it though, they mentioned it only once a few hours before it happened, it wasn't like they were hyping a major announcement for weeks on end only for it to be this. Just treating it like it never happened.

I actually thought a NYE show in the PA area.

Is that based on anything info or just a total stab in the dark?

Stab in the dark. I figured it would have made sense for an October announcement.
