Colorado's Desperation Band ready new live album
MODERN worship's Desperation Band, formed in 2001 as the
youth worship band at Colorado Springs-based New Life Church, is
releasing a new live album. 'Banner' is issued on 30th September
through Integrity Music and was recorded in July 2014 at the
Desperation Conference. Said worship pastor Jon Egan, "We want to make
sure we're singing songs that help young people understand they are in
a moment of time but that the church has existed for thousands of
years. We want to place an emphasis on history, returning to the
sacred call to worship. . . It's so important for them to understand
they are part of a deep-rooted history of Christians who have
survived. We love doing new songs, but we are very careful that we are
not developing new ideas but celebrating the ideas that have always
been true."
