Awesome Brennan! Your digits still the same?

RAGER · May 26, 2011, 06:08:36 PM

come out to Portland. I'll buy you a beer and maybe even pull your hair a little if your lucky.

johnny problem · May 26, 2011, 08:15:06 PM

Might be able to make it to the Ottawa show.

Baltar · May 26, 2011, 09:21:12 PM

No Danny, I have a Canadian number now. I'll email you!

black_out · May 26, 2011, 09:29:00 PM

You dudes looking to fill a date between June 25th and the 28th, or is that an intentional break?

giantchris · May 27, 2011, 06:31:20 AM

Playing in Chicago on a Tues eh. A day I actually have off of work! I'll probably go unless you get an exceptionally weird venue. That would make it the second forum member's band I've seen then 0_0

God I have the worst work schedule ever...

Danny G · May 28, 2011, 03:36:11 PM

Re: gap

I'll look into it, this is a list of confirmed dates. Gaps have things in the works still.

Played first show last night. Shut down after first set for being too loud. Paid in full. Then the shots started appearing \m/,

yesca · May 28, 2011, 05:04:11 PM

shit i might be able to come to the show in Leesburg VA its closer then Roanoke

lordfinesse · May 29, 2011, 05:18:43 PM

No Carolina dates I see..

Danny G · May 29, 2011, 10:49:31 PM

NYC dates added! June 17-18

Carolina dates may be part of the 2nd leg, end of July thru end of August. Hope that's the case!

Danny G · June 15, 2011, 11:50:32 AM

Greetings from Montpelier VT! Updated the show list, have added or updated a few gigs.

Two and a half weeks in, so far so good! Van still running despite front end work ($700) and new tire ($40), a new starter (by Eric in 20 minutes flat), rebuilt front brakes (in a truckstop parking lot), leaking radiator and no AC. Some awesome shows and some terrible shows. Getting into real meat and potatoes of the tour so money will get better. Been updating FB and Twitter nonstop, and we just got a 4G Flip so we'll soon be posting random acts of drunken stupidity. Good times!

RacerX · June 15, 2011, 12:05:59 PM

Party on, dude.

bass sic · June 15, 2011, 04:20:46 PM

Could have maybe found a better van for the tour? Sounds like a blast tho, wish you guys were playing Clevo.

Danny G · June 24, 2011, 11:58:38 AM

We were looking into it and were/are trying to pull some strings but band and band leader couldn't afford it. At all.

So we took our chances and have spent close to $2000 in repairs. Yeah. Enough to buy another van. Well shit.

But running again properly, for now, save for a squeaky new serpentine belt which we replaced on the way to Leesburg VA.

That, and Boss Hoss is completely upholstered on the interior with vintage 70's green shag carpet, and has a PA with a CB radio for fucking with locals and random people. Will hard to see that van go...

At Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown PA, our second night tonight then on to Roanoke. Leesburg was fucking awesome, love when tiny little towns are full of surprises.

VOLVO))) · June 24, 2011, 01:55:31 PM

My Dad said he was stoked to see your band in Johnstown.

Danny G · June 27, 2011, 01:37:58 AM

Nice! He sign the email list? heh

Both nights were a blast, and Roanoke was a very pleasant surprise.

VOLVO))) · June 27, 2011, 02:03:24 AM

Dad doesn't do email, haha. He said it was a fuckin' blast.

Danny G · July 01, 2011, 01:14:04 PM

That's awesome!!!

This leg winding down, finally getting dates for next leg. Hitting alot of same places that we just did very well in.

Will post those soon and keep checking in from time to time. This leg has been pretty hellacious, but the increase in our FB and Twitter #'s alone have shown that it's been worthwhile.

Rock!

Danny G · July 06, 2011, 07:19:28 PM

Been a long tour, ready to head home.
