Nashville rock trio Colony House will perform on CONAN next week on Monday, June 29th. The appearance will kick off the band’s third single “Waiting For My Time To Come” from their debut full length album When I Was Younger (Descendant Records) which charted #3 on Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #7 on iTunes Alternative Rock Charts.
As a special preview, today Wall Street Journal debuted the new revamped version of the song which they will perform on CONAN.

“When we originally wrote and recorded ‘Waiting For My Time To Come,’ we took a slow-building, raw, cinematic approach,” explained frontman Caleb Chapman to Journal. “With the reworked version, we took a more energetic approach. Live, this song has always been a highlight for both the crowd and the band. We thought that perhaps we could capture a little bit of that live energy.”
Explaining the song’s history, Chapman continued “About two years ago we had no idea what was happening with our band. At that point, a bunch of opportunities kept falling apart last minute. The peak of our disappointment came in October 2013. We had booked a slot on the Austin City Limits festival and were meant to play the last Sunday of the second weekend. We woke up that rainy morning to a phone call telling us that we would not be playing because the park had been flooded, so we packed our bags and had to make the 15 hour journey home. On that drive home, we decided to write and record an EP over the next month. We were just thinking of anything we could do to help inspire ourselves in a season that was otherwise uninspiring. ‘Waiting For My Time To Come’ was the first song I wrote for that EP. It deals with the subject of ‘things not going your way’ and quickly turned into our theme song.”
Colony House first captured attention with their lead single “Silhouettes” which became the #1 most played track on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation with 50 spins per week and made their national television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers. They’ve also been featured on VH1 “Big Morning Buzz”, Nylon, NPR Music, TeamCoco, Paste, and A.V. Club. They’ll hit the road again in early July on the second leg of the Tour De Compadres featuring Drew Holcomb, Switchfoot, and NeedtoBreathe.
