Sorry if this was already posted, but it's the first time I'm hearing about it. Apparently there's a new project featuring our own Tad Kubler and Bobby Drake (as well as guys from The Bouncing Souls and The Loved Ones) in the works...
Am I way late on this or is this the first time you guys are hearing about this as well?
Interview with Dave Hause (The Loved Ones) here:

Dave: No, we're not on tour. We go out on tour with THE BOUNCING SOULS in about a month's time. I have a couple of solo acoustic shows. We're writing a record. We're all doing different things as well in addition to that. I'm working on a project. It's a band that two of the guys from THE HOLD STEADY and two of the guys from THE BOUNCING SOULS, and I are doing.
Pastepunk: Who are the members of THE HOLD STEADY and THE BOUNCING SOULS?
Dave: Tad from THE HOLD STEADY plays guitar and Bobby plays the drums. Pete and Brian from THE BOUNCING SOULS plays guitar and bass. I'm singing for that band. So we've been writing stuff for that and I've been writing a solo album; writing a LOVED ONES record with the guys. Just keeping pretty busy.
Pastepunk: That sounds like a full-plate.
Dave: Yeah, for sure. I always like to stay busy and I feel blessed to be able to make music with all these people, so I want to take the opportunities when they come, you know?
Pastepunk: What kind of music are you guys playing in the band with the guys from THE HOLD STEADY and THE BOUNCING SOULS? What's the direction of that project?
Dave: So far it's a more along the line of straight rock n' roll then say what the Souls or THE LOVED ONES are used to. Maybe just a little bit rougher edged then what THE HOLD STEADY are doing. I don't know. It's hard to say. We're still writing material, so...
Pastepunk: How did that whole thing come together?
Dave: Well, The Souls and THE HOLD STEADY became friends and decided to try and do this in their other bands' off time. They wanted a musical outlet and they thought it would be cool to do it together. I guess they had a couple rehearsals, or a couple writing practices, and decided they wanted to have a singer. So I got a call asking if I wanted to do it. I've been friends with The Souls for ten years and THE HOLD STEADY for a shorter while, but we certainly made a quick friendship in this past year. It's been fun so far.
Pastepunk: Do you guys have a name for that project?
Dave: Yeah, it's called THE ROADSIDE PROPHETS.
Pastepunk: When can people expect material from that?
Dave: I guess when all of us busy guys get around to getting enough practices to write a whole release worth of songs.
Pastepunk: Do you guys all live pretty far away from each other?
Dave: The Souls guys live in Asbury Park, or near Asbury Park, and THE HOLD STEADY guys live in Brooklyn. I live right outside Philly. We're all within about ninety miles of each other. It's not the end of the world to get together. It's more of a scheduling issue because everyone is busy with their other bands.
