Thursday
Right now we are back in our van on the way to Seattle. Tonight we are at the highdive! Then to Utah.

Friday @ the Highdive.
Just jumped into the van on the way to Utah! We had a solid show but Max has gotten a case of food poisoning. But he played really strong. We stayed late last night with everyone and had some great pizza with two of our biggest fans in Washington! Thank you Kristan and Tacitita for buying so many Cds and T- Shirts you really helped us get across the country!

Saturday
On the way to provo. Last night we stay in Twin Falls at the red lion. We had a late start but we made it on time to Velour. What a Beautiful room and a great crowd. Everyone came out early and made a lot of noise! We took off almost right after the show and started our way to Denver.

SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE FALCON
Tonight was Low Vs Diamond’s last night and they were heading back to Los Angeles. So in proper fashion we and all of the guys from all the bands partied a little extra tonight in the name of Low! Everyone played a really great set and Johan became the tattoo sharpie artist of all time! Almost everyone got some lovely body art.

Bad News Today

There was a terrible accident at our house today. Rebecca and Alexandra woke up to the sound of a car crashing down into the carport. They both did everything they could do and were safe but two passengers didn’t make it. Please, if you read this blog, please send your thoughts and love to the passengers, their family and Rebecca and Alexandra. We drove from Denver to Omaha today but it was a somber ride. Life is so fragile and for the most part it gets taken for granted. We are here in Omaha tonight just hanging out at the hotel. Please again be sure to tell the people that mean the most to you that you love them. There is just no way to predict what the next day or hour is going to bring.

Tuesday Morning
Holiday inn.
We have the day off until sound check so far we are starting better than yesterday. Tonight we are at the waiting room so please come and join us in Omaha.

San Diego

So we drove down last night to San Diego for the first show on the tour. Outfitted with our 15 passenger van trailer we were picked up by a new member of our crew, Bill. This is no yellow danger bus but the fact that we are on our way across the country again I don’t think that we are gonna complain for at least three more days . We stayed at the Ramada plaza that featured the tickled trout bar and grill. We really didn’t do anything except go to have some great Mexican food in Old Town. Our sound check was going to be at 6:45 or there about so it was an early night.

This morning we left the hotel and went to play the parking lot for 91x! It was a good gig - a little strange but good. The Station was really good to us. The best way for me to describe the scene was a really awesome Kid Rock video that we were invited to. There was a hoopdie contest that featured deja vu dancers, beer garden, an amazing tour bus “comfort station” with a deck that featured the Deja Vu dancers and the Morning show crew! It was a special way to start the day. We are going to post some of the video from the day later. Right now we are on our way back to Los Angeles to play for Access Hollywood then we have two days off !

Monday

We had our first shows with Low vs. Diamond , De Nova Dahl, and Tallly Hall last night and right now we are on our way to San Fran! We are load in and ready to take on America. Tomorrow the record comes out ! it’s a crazy thing after all these years to finally have a real release on the shelves. Thank you to everybody who got us this far. We know that there is a lot of work that we have ahead but thanks to everyone who has put so much faith in us we know that for the most part we are just getting started!

We are three days, two states and five gigs into the promo tour! Max and I are sitting at the Airport in Portland waiting to make our way to Sacramento then to San Francisco. We left Seattle yesterday morning after playing the End and Mountain Fm. We drove down to Portland. We played live at 94.7 KNRK with Gustav and man he was a lot of fun. Portland is a jewel in the pacific northwest. We made it back to our hotel The Jupiter…. What a cool spot. They have a club connected to the hotel but we were too late to get in to see Vampire Weekend. The hotel also had all the doors made into chalk boards so Max contributed to the scene with some art! Here’s a few photos from the day.

Max and I have set off for the promo tour ! We left sunny Los Angeles to cold Seattle. We’ve checked into a hotel here and just started making our way around the city. Nothing too crazy to report. Here are some photos we took.
