Hey Nathan, PJ has new LP coming soon in 2023, have a great weekend from the OC Ca I have no details on release, only what I Google. My family just watched in surround sound PJ live in Sydney 2011, insane recording! We are pumped up for next album and will for sure see live. Something to get exited about in 2023
