After an extended break, the members of Lady Antebellum experienced jitters leading up to their new Take Me Downtown Tour, which opened earlier this month in Peoria, Ill.

“We’d be lying if we said we didn’t have a lot of anxiety and butterflies,” singer Hillary Scott. But in every city so far, the 27-year-old singer said they’ve been blown away by the response. “We have this new sense of excitement to be on the stage, performing songs, having fun, and I think that would have never had happened if we hadn’t taken a little break.”

[...]

“In the next couple of weeks, we’re going to start bringing songwriters out to start writing for the next project,” Scott said. “I can’t tell you 100-percent where we’re going, because we’re still figuring it out. It’s exploration-time. We’re going to take our time. We’re not going to rush. We’re just going to write and be very selective. We’re going to explore what we’re not afraid to talk about, we’re not afraid to do production-wise. We’re not going to go too far left of the core of who we are, but I definitely think that we’re going to see where it’s going to take us, and we can always reel ourselves back in.”

To prepare for a new album, Lady Antebellum receives submissions from various songwriters. They have virtually all the time they want to get to know a song, but Scott said if she’s not sold on one by the end of the first chorus, her impressions don’t usually change with repeated listenings. “That’s just the way I am,” she said. “The songs that stand out are the ones you go back to, over and over and over. That’s my personal litmus test: if I want to go back and listen to it, there’s a reason.”

Igår startade "Take me downtown tour" i Peoria, IL.
Dessa HQ bilder har släppts och det ser ut som att Lady A har tagit touren till en högre nivå.

 

Nu börjar äntligen Take me downtown tour närma sig och med det släpper Lady A en video teaser.

Visst ser det spännande ut! Jag längtar tills de släpper Europa datumen.

Lady Antebellum har fått lite hjälp att promota Take Me Downtown Tour. 
De fick hjälp av bland annat Lady Gaga och Justin Bieber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Det har släppts fler datum för Take Me Downtown Tour. Ännu en gång så är det bara Nordamerika datum. 

Som det ser ut nu så slutar Nordamerika turnén i april. Har vi tur kanske detta betyder att de kommer till Europa under sommaren/hösten 2014.

 

Hur många av er skulle vilja att de kom till Sverige igen?

 

De nya datumen 

En nya artikel där Charles och Dave pratar om hur de tänker skämma bort Eisele med saker under turnén.

Lady Antebellum will embark on their Take Me Downtown Tour in November and Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood say they absolutely plan to spoil Hillary Scott’s baby girl, Eisele, who just turned one month old yesterday. “Well I know how I am with my nieces and nephews every time I see them,” says Charles. “It’s just like I always want to go take them to toy stores and stuff and just spend a bunch of money on them. So I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like when [Hillary] has the first little kid out there.” Dave proclaims, “It’s going to be a showering of gifts at all times.”

Since Hillary’s husband Chris is also Lady Antebellum’s drummer, the whole family will travel on the road together on their own bus. The Take Me Downtown Tour kicks off November 8th in Southaven, Mississippi, and will play 17 dates through mid-December with special guests Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves.

 

 

 De första datumen för Take Me Down Town Tour har släppts. Det kommer släppas ytterligare datum senare.

Igår postade Lady A en video på sitt YouTube konto där de sjunger On the Road Agian. I slutet av videon dyker datumet 7.29.13 (dagens datum, 29 juli 2013) och texten www.ladyantebellum.com upp. Med tanke på att de sjunger On the Road Agian tror jag att det betyder att de kommer släppa nya datum för Golden Tour idag.

Och vem vet de kanske kommer tillbaka till Sverige igen.
