Guster...

With two new babies already here and another on the way this month, the members of Guster are having a pretty busy year even though they're on a break. But that will change soon. The band's website says, "We've found time to write a big batch of new songs and we can't wait to record them. This summer? We'll have to see how it all balances with the newcomers. But we expect to have an album finished this year and a tour ready to go in early '09." The band has also announced that it'll be one of the groups on John Mayer's Mayercraft Carrier cruise, which will take place March 27th through the 31st of next year.
