Yup, Rich Machin of popular beat combo The Soulsavers has extremely kindly agreed to field your questions! Easy enough - you ask your questions here, and eventually the ones that get answered* will be typed up and posted here or heareabouts. Go nuts  * Due to the fact that the band are slightly busy at the mo, we can't guarantee an answer to everyone's questions. Also, anything that falls under the categories of business confidentiality, being far too personal and/or borderline (either side'll do) insanity may not get answered either. Here ends teh small print |

Weren't there some shows professionally filmed back in 2007? I'd be interested to know if anything is going to come of that.

The Cashbah in San Diego "now records select live shows, making them available for sale on CD immediately following the show at the club as well as for download at www.emusiclive.com" Will that be done for the Soulsavers show? |

How did the collaborations with Mike Patton and Gibby Haynes among others come about? Were the songs written with those folks in mind? Or was it a matter of "hmmm this guy would sound good on this song" then you go out and get them?

-Have you ever considered covering one of Mark's Screaming Trees songs, like 'Grey Diamond Desert' or 'Dollar Bill'?
-What other Mark solo songs have you considered covering on a Soulsavers album?
-Are there any other artists that you've considered collaborating with?
-Would you be interested in recording a third Soulsavers album (your fourth) with Mark? If you were to use Mark again, who else would you like to have collaborate with him?
-Do you ever plan to release a DVD of your live performances?
-How many songs did you record for Broken that didn't make the album cut?
-Do you plan to release any b-sides or exclusive songs with 'Broken'? (Similar to the iTunes release of 'Blues Run The Game' off your last album)
Sorry for the multiple questions!
By the way, you guys are phenomenal. I hope you continue to make amazing, timeless music. Many thanks to you all for sharing your talents with us. I'll see you in Washington DC!

since the line up keeps changing, would you describe yourself as an actual band or more as a vehicle to lend your production talents for other artists to take advantage of?
what can we expect setlist wise? (mostly for the american tour)
what are the chances of Will Oldham getting more involved on a possible next album?
i also back the 07 live shows requests...

1. what microphones and setups did/do you use with Mr Lanegan? does Mark have ay preferred mics/pre-amps/comps etc or did he just come in and leave all that stuff to you?
2. what's the Soulsavers recording setup, specifically- software/hardware of choice for composing/producing?

hey rich, first of all thanks so much for two wonderful albums so far, and a third that looks like it may top them all. i think your vision is always courageous and your execution superb. your musics brought much solace to me during many 'dark nights of the soul.'
what kind of touring set up can we expect to see this year? the same as 07, plus red ghost?

Most of the questions I had in mind have already been asked...
I would like to know a bit more about the broken sessions, where the "collaborators" involved in the writting of the songs/ choise of the covers?
Who came up with the Lanegan/Oldham crossed cover thing? Did they chose what song to cover? (By the way, I love how both of those turn out!)
Is Lanegan an official permanent guest of the band? (I'm thinking like the QOTSA situation)
Is there anyone you wanted to work with for the broken sessions but didn't happen? Anyone in mind to collaborate with in the future?
Whatever happened to the double album?
Any plans for a release of the record in south america in the near future? What about a tour?
Italy's release date?
