Chris McCaughan has announced that he is releasing a new Sundowner album sometime in the summer. It will be released on Asian Man Records instead of Red Scare. Red Scare will be pressing Four One Five Two on vinyl in the summer.
"Well, it’s been three years since the first Sundowner record and man has a lot happened in the world since then. We had the summer and winter Olympics, the Cubs got embarrassed in the playoffs a few times, Obama became president, I won my first fantasy football championship and we all got a bit older. Ahhh, the dizzying highs. I also wrote a bunch of songs. Over the last several months me and Neil (Hennessy if you’re nasty) having been working on the new Sundowner record in Logan Square in Chicago and I’m excited to say it’s just about done and that we’re putting the finishing touches on it. I’m stoked to be teaming up with Mike Park and releasing it on Asian Man Records this time around. We’re shooting for a mid-summer release and we’ll have more details for y’all in the near future. I’m also really excited because Toby Jeg at Red Scare is gonna press Four One Five Two on vinyl this summer and we’re gonna throw a big party. Rap at ya soon!"

Shortly after the show, Brendan Kelly announced on his blog that there will be a 10th Anniversary Show DVD released by Crankstrap Productions.
There is very little info about the DVD, things such as release date, additional content, etc. has yet to be announced.
A "rough cut" of The Lawrence Arms playing "Recovering the Opposable Thumb" can be found here (the video quality is great, but the audio sounds tuned out due to it being unmixed).
You can become a fan of Crankstrap Productions on Facebook here.
To anyone that did not know the 10th Anniversary Show at the Metro on October 24, 2009 in Chicago. The show featured Mike Park, The Menzingers, and La Plebe as opening acts (it has not yet been confirmed if their sets will be on the DVD)
The Lawrence Arms are heading over seas to support their new 7 inch, Buttsweat and Tears
"This one will be very different from all of the bands I've spent time with thus far. Mainly because I'm writing all of the material myself and will be singing and playing guitar! There are 15 songs written between '02-'09 already recorded that will be released in a variety of ways this coming year and I've written the majority of the first full length that will be recorded by the fall. I've played most everything on the first round of recordings, but that will change as a band gets created. I'm hoping to have a couple of songs up on this page within the month, and then a proper release sometime in the early spring!" - Hennessy
