a wave of inspiration

Still feeling the East Coast time change...was planning on going to bed over 2 hours ago. What am I doing? Writing, writing, writing. A wave on inspiration crashed over me. And when they come you have to ride them. Ride them like a wave.
Sometimes there are so many ideas flooding my brain that I feel like I'm in a dream world trying to catch these fairies darting about. That. Is the Muse. She keeps you up at night and sometimes even wakes you from sleep.


I've been waiting for her to come back. Hope she stays a while :)

15 days on, 14 days off (or so...)

the point is, home for 2 weeks!

tired, overwhelmed, happy to be back in LA and to begin work on the next record...
entirely original stuff! wonder if i'll rework any of the wordless pieces from Gods & Marionettes, give them lyrics, and make songs out of em...

we shall see. friends, loved ones, and the universe have all transpired to give Rach and i a place to stay for these bits when we're home, and i am so incredibly grateful. i feel intensely fortunate and inclined to not waste a moment.

get work done!

tickets for sale!!

Tickets are officially on sale for our Feb. 23rd show in LA. It's at the Bootleg Theater and it's Paul's last show! Let's send him off with a blast :)
Come out and let's make it a crazy night!! There are some special music in store :)

beautiful house in the country, just outside Washington DC

it is quiet, peaceful, gentle, clean, and clear here. very easy to focus and to remain relaxed.
last night our host introduced us to a game called "Settlers of Catan" (which Ben knew how to play already).
five minutes in, i was bored to death and was ready to quit.
15 minutes in i was addicted. =)

And then there were five...

Dearest friends & fans,

If you did not know already, it is with great sadness & love in our hearts that we let you all know that Paul will be leaving Sonos next month to pursue his passion for acting. His role in the formation, evolution and success of this group is undeniable and he will be greatly missed by us and fans alike. All five of us are honored to have shared the stage with him for three years, and are humbled to call him our best friend. We wish him nothing but the best and know he will succeed in following his dreams.

Catch Paul's last shows with Sonos on tour in the first half of February, concluding with a hometown Los Angeles show in the latter half of the month. Stay tuned for those details!!! You all must be there :)

As many of you are probably wondering, we will not be replacing Paul at this time and are moving forward with the five of us - with change, comes opportunity. It will be a new chapter for us, defined by original music from all five of us, a building rig of effects, and a new album in the fall. We have already begun to restructure our material for 5 people, incorporating more cool effects and in some cases reworking the arrangements a bit to bring them to a new, different place.

If you have curly red hair, crazy falsetto and are really, really funny, give us a call and we may change our minds ;) Seriously though, we thank you for the amazing support & look forward to showing you what the "new" Sonos has up its sleeve..

WE LOVE YOU PAUL PEGLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



love love love,
jess, kathy, rach, ben & chris

PS - To keep up with Paul and his artistic endeveours, follow him on twitter@ppeglar or become of a facebook fan of his and Ben's music/comedy duo, Dakaboom. They are going places!!!!

** Also, if you did not already see it, Paul wrote a note of his own which you can read below, or here on facebook....
