After welcoming Bronx Mowgli, a baby boy, bassist Pete Wentz is taking a “breather”.

“Obviously, elephant in the room, Pete just had a kid, so we’ve been taking a bit of a breather — more so than we normally would. I think an FOB breather is still a lot busier than anybody else’s,” frontman Patrick Stump told MTV News, “We’ve done some surprise shows, because — we’ve all talked about it — whenever you promise kids an album, and then you push it back, whatever reason, however idealistic, you still feel like you’re letting them down a bit.

FOB’s “Folie à Deux” album has been pushed back to December 16, 2008.

“So we’ve gone out and done some surprise shows in really small clubs.” Stump continues to MTV News, “And it’s been pretty cool, because we haven’t been playing a lot of the new material, so we’re getting that out there before we start performing the new stuff. That’s kind of been our main thing right now, you know? Obviously, it’s more important than anything happening at home.”
