"Details surrounding Patrick Lew Band's 2020 return?" 

Don't expect the PLB to become a full-time priority again or any time soon. 

Since the end of 2017, the Patrick Lew Band was no longer a full-time band of mines personally, professionally or creatively! A lot of my work and widespread attention has shifted to other bands: Benigneglect and Crazy Loser in a Box - Band. Even with the HOF ring at CSU East Bay last year, that pretty much meant that my time in Patrick Lew Band was cemented!

What this comeback could mean perhaps might not necessarily mean a brand spanking new Patrick Lew Band record. And throwing a big tour or public events to support a new album. That was not my original strategy why I brought Patrick Lew Band back for the year 2020. 

My original reason for bringing back PLB had little to do with regaining my youthful touring days and underground teen idol status during the MySpace heyday. It was something more deep and meaningful than that! 

First off, the demand for Patrick Lew Band was at a fever pitch after I discontinued PLB in June 2019. And, I thank the fans and cooler population for that. Secondly, PLB meant a lot to me and plays a large part of who I really am today. It might not be pop music glitz and glamour. It's about true integrity and authenticity. 

I wanted to test the waters and come back to my PLB whenever everything else was currently on the bottom of the totem pole on my to-do-list in my music career and responsibilities. Like every now and then, I'd make a sporadic appearance as PLB in-house, in the studio or even in public for music related stuff! 

So the return of Patrick Lew Band in the year 2020 is basically an OG from the scene who is "resting on his laurels" and making them one-off sporadic appearances for the indie music scene whenever and where ever I want to. I feel I've already cemented what PLB was and took Patrick Lew Band as far as I possibly could. But it's deep down always going to be around! 

Like a legend in professional wrestling signed to a WWE Legends contract with creative and non-exclusive professional control, I just do Patrick Lew Band whenever I want to. Where ever I want to. Whenever I feel like it. Especially, when my other bands are on the lower etch of responsibilities at the given moment. 

I'm 35 years old this year. I feel like I've came a long way personally and creatively in underground music. 

Most of my accomplishments came from my very own PLB, and most people out there will probably not disagree with that. I feel like I could definitely branch out a little more now as an artist! And not be that same 22 year old Asian scene kid singing Everyone Loves Ashley Tisdale every night at the dive bar with his former band!
