2007 In Review by Daryl Palumbo
Posted: Monday, December 17th, 2007 in Daryl Palumbo and Head Automatica and Glassjaw and Side Projects and House of Blow and Cardboard City | Post a Comment
Tuned A.D. magazine has interviewed Daryl Palumbo regarding 2007 and what he has planned for 2008. You can grab the complete issue of the magazine in PDF format here … or you can read Daryl’s section below.
Enjoy!
Tuned: Tell us about your year…
Daryl Palumbo: It was a busy ass year. I toured the whole year on the Head Automatica record and did a bunch of Glassjaw tours as well. Plus, I DJ’d a bunch of parties all across the fuckin world, so I was pretty happy. It was the busiest year of my life probably.
Tuned: Were you glad to come back to the UK this year?
Daryl Palumbo: Oh yeah of course man. I’ve been waiting to come back to the UK for like 5 or 6 years. It was like a dream come true; it was the most eventful piece of my year and the happiest period.
Tuned: Europe was the highlight of ’07 then?
Daryl Palumbo: In a way, yeah. Doing the whole Head Automatica tour across Europe was so amazing, as were the shows in the UK. And then to finish off with two Glassjaw shows – the first UK Glassjaw shows since 2003 and one of them at Brixton… Amazing! Getting Cardboard City off the ground was a highlight too; 2007 was the year that it all stepped up a gear. We’ve started doing a lot of Cardboard City parties everywhere; Nick, Glue and I have been doing a lot of DJ sets and Glue and I got to spin a lot across Europe. There’s just been so much shit this year you know!
Tuned: What’s been soundtracking your year?
Daryl Palumbo: A lot of bumpin’ house music, a lot of old pop music, a lot of random German rock bands from the 60’s and 70’s…I’ve dedicated a lot of my year to Frank Zappa of course, as I have the past 20 years of my life.
Tuned: 2007 was quite an eclectic year for you musically; what lies ahead in 2008?
Daryl Palumbo: Yes it has been, and I think 2008 is going to be even more so. The more eclectic the better really - it makes every project better I think. In ‘08 I’m gonna do a new Head Automatica record, new Glassjaw album, second Sports record, the House Of Blow album…a lot of shit! And this year I’ll hopefully get the United Nations record together too, which is me and Geoff from Thursday.
And there is also a short tidbit about the upcoming House of Blow album/EP…
This year, Daryl Palumbo finally made a welcome return to British shores with Head Automatica and Glassjaw, and 2008 promises highly anticipated new full lengths from both bands. However, the prolific musical entrepreneur and busy-diary-addict is also set upon introducing the world to two more of his many projects; United Nations (featuring Geoff from Thursday and Ben Koller of Converge) and House Of Blow, Palumbo’s collaboration with Hatebreed guitarist Sean Martin. Though music for United Nations has yet to emerge (insiders tell us to expect furious, stripped down hardcore), House Of Blow have posted two demo tracks - ‘Banger’ and ‘Afghani Black’ - on their MySpace page to whet our collective whistles. If these tunes are anything to go by, the band’s upcoming E.P and album will carve a middle ground somewhere between the dirty, electronic grooves of early Head Automatica and the darker, ominous vibes of Glassjaw; a most inviting, ice cool musical equation. This House is one you’ll definitely want a key to.

I think we’ve all had to wait way too long for some new glassjaw….i don’t think anyone can disagree with that. and from what we’ve heard (”natural born farmer”, “you think you’re john fucking lennon”, “jesus glue”) it promises to fuck the shit out of our ear-pussies.
while he may be overly ambitious at times, daryl has certainly proven to his audience that he is capable beyond most musician’s dreams. there seems to be no end to his open minded style and no end to the pursuit of his passion. christ, the man must write in his sleep.
the world should be thankful for daryl palumbo……i’ve raised my own son to be as much of a fan as myself!
