Page "The Living End" Paragraph 29

2007 saw Chris Cheney isolated from his band mates trying to write the follow-up to " State of Emergency ".

He was disappointed with the results so he took up yoga, spent time painting and being around his baby daughter whilst taking a break from music for the first time in 10 years.

During this period the band released a radio-only single, the Cold Chisel cover " Rising Sun ", available on the Standing on the Outside Cold Chisel tribute album.

After Chris was convinced not to leave the band they played The Great Escape in May and re-started work on their fifth studio album, though they toured the UK in August, releasing State of Emergency there on 13 August through Deck Cheese Records.
