Bob Schneider's NEW ALBUM ‘A PERFECT DAY'
SXSW and full US Tour throughout 2011

SCHNEIDER-who's watched Austin become a mecca for the movie industry-pretty much assigned himself the impetus for "Penelope Cruz," however. "I think she's one of the most attractive women in Hollywood," he notes, "and I read somewhere that she dated pretty much everybody she made a movie with. So I was like ‘ I wish I was an actor so I could make a movie with Penelope Cruz'-and have sex with her, basically. And then another part of me thought it would be cool if I had a song with her name in it, because then someone might go, ‘Hey, there's some guy who wrote a song called ‘Penelope Cruz.' We should check that out' and somehow I could go out with Penelope Cruz. But she got married to Javier Bardem, so that fucked up my whole plan..."

A commited road dog, Schneider-who maintains a Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub back home in Austin-plans to burm some significant rubber on tour to support A PERFECT DAY. But there's also that large body of existing songs and that "very active imagination" that keeps new tunes coming, so even as one album comes out another is most assuredly on the way.

"It's pretty crazy," he acknowledges. "I'll think, ‘Oh man, I really want to write songs like Mason Jennings or Griffin House' because I really love that kind of heartfelt, earnest, acoustic, heart on your sleeve sort of music-then, I'll write electronic stuff that sounds like Kanye West. So I really don't feel like I have much choice in the matter; I just try to let it be what it's supposed to be and don't ask questions. I just do the work and then sort it out later."
