I have never been more lazy in my entire life than I have been over the past 3 and a half weeks. It has been everything I thought it would be. Now I'm leaving it all behind for another go. Listen to this, I leave Thursday in the morning, drive 1500 miles to Bellingham, WA, arrive by noon on the 2nd, pick up the buttheads from the airport, and soundcheck by 5 p.m. Head back down the western coast of the U.S. with stops in Seattle, Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego, all in a main support position for a band called The Shins. I had never heard of this band before 2 weeks ago, and the smallest venue on this tour is 1550, I must have missed the boat on this one. Continuing on with the screwed up drives, the night of the 10th, being the show in Los Angeles, I'll leave with my good friend Kyle(and our temporary merch guy)in tow, in a UHAUL rented box truck for a drive to Nashville, TN, where we'll arive on the 12th to meet the bus for the East coast leg of the tour.We will then continue to Richmond, VA for the first show, with about 10 or so more scattered along the Eastern seaboard, ending with 2 nights in a row at Terminal 5 in New York, NY. After this we're left with task of navigating from there, all the way back home....Not complaining at all.
If you have not familiarized yourself with a band by the name of The Other Lives, consider this your final warning before you won't be considered cool. This is a sure fire top ten of 2009 for myself, and any music publications that are worth a shit. They were the main support for the headlining tour in February, amazing people with amazing music and an amazing future ahead of them.
