Alex Band checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@alexbandmusic) on Friday (July 2) after the release of his first full-length solo album ‘We’ve All Been There’. The former frontman for The Calling told readers:

MY ALBUM IS OUT!!! It’s crazy to think that after 5 long years of hard work and never giving up, my music has been released to the world. This is a huge accomplishment in my life and I am so glad I get to share it with all of you. You can find “We’ve All Been There” on iTunes with an awesome digital booklet that I designed, on my website (www.alexband.net), and in your local Best Buy, Borders, Target or record store. I can’t wait for you all to hear it and would love to know your thoughts and feelings and favorites! :) Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me over the years, it’s all paying off! Keep requesting Tonight at your local radio stations, it’s starting to really break and with your help I know we can make it a hit. I’ll see you all very soon on tour! I’m so excited!!
All the love…

Hollywood Dame spoke with Alex Band in a Q&A, asking the singer what he misses most while on the road besides family and friends. “My cat. Or, well, I have two cats now, so my cats,” the former singer of The Calling said. “Just the comfort of home, especially when I keep going to Europe. I think in this year I have traveled 150,000 miles, been around the world about 4 times. I miss the places I eat, the drinks I know, just the things you take for granted. The simple things like going to bed and waking up the same time, which is hard with the constant changing of time zones.” The entire interview at hollywooddame.com has since been removed.

Alex Band checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@alexbandmusic) on Monday (December 29). The former The Calling frontman tells readers:

Happy Holidays Everyone! I’m so excited for 2009, I know it finally will be the year my long overdue solo album will be released! I wanted to give you all a little treat for the Holiday, so here is one of the many songs that didn’t make it on the album called “Best Friends”. It’s just a home demo, Arms and I wrote it and recorded it together a while back. It’s still a favorite of ours, so who knows, maybe it will end up on the second album all done up nicely:) Anyway, lots to look forward to soon enough… I wish you all and your friends and family a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! See you in ’09! All the love…
