We want to thank all the great bands we played with and of course everyone who came out to see us. This was a great tour and we had tons of fun. Dylan once again did all the driving which was good for us since he has over 13 years experience driving a tour van. Fortunately, the drives were down to about 5 hours a day which is a great improvement over last tours 12 hour drives.
Check out the tour video here and let us know what you think. Also check out our upcoming shows where we are playing with some exciting bands including the 30 piece marching band March 4th.
Mac’s in Lansing was great as usual, particularly with some late night partying with The Chairman – Some of the coolest people in the mid-west.
In Indianapolis we found some good home cooking and old friends at Birdy’s. Coolidge put on a great rock show and a big sound for a trio.
The STL MUSIC FESTIVAL & CONFERENCE in St. Louis blew our mind. This was created by our good friend Laura and there is so much talent running through that city. Check out the 90+ bands in 3 days at http://www.playstlfest.com/ . Some of the bands we got to see were Semi-Precious Weapons, Go Motion and The Feed. Semi-Precious Weapons put on one of the more entertaining shows we have seen in a long time with their glamour and ability to persuade girls to take their shirts off. Fortunately for us, they live in our hometown of Brooklyn.
Rhino’s in Bloomington was a pleasant surprise where we got to play and hang out with old friends and the band Sister Suvi from Montreal, which includes members from the band Islands. It is always fun to play with younger aged bands like Concordia who has already written hundreds of songs and are creating some high quality music.
Ypsilanti was the last stop of the tour where our show really came together. This was also the first time in this town which I can quote a couple band members saying that they would live here (I was not one of them).
