Sorry its been a while between updates i know i was doing really good there for a bit haha!
So I left off in Texas..
Austin was super cool! Although i will admit I had a bit to much to drink that day and had a bit of trouble keeping a beat we all had a blast and the crowd was great as always. Our front of the venue was the Adult Swim festival and that was sooo cool! I’m not sure how many of you follow my Twitter but i posted a picture of a guy with the most killer mustache i’ve ever seen from that day. it was epic!!! All in all Austin = KILLER ;)
El Paso. This show we were all a bit sketched out about at first because of the current situation down there. If any of you don’t know about it you should read up… its a bit scary, drug cartels, heads getting chopped off etc… Needless to say we didn’t know what to expect. We got to the venue and to our surprise it was quite bigger than expected. The people there we super cool and treated us better than any venue on the run yet so we all were really happy right away! All the bands got set up and then proceeded to play the hurry up and wait game (my personal favorite NOT). Jeremy and I went across the street to grab some dinner and when we got back, to our surprise, there was over 800 people at the show! This was a MONDAY night in El Paso! We had no idea so many people would show up for the tour! We took the stage and the place went ballistic! Mosh pits, kids flying all over crowd surfing, singing the songs it was awesome! Definitely the best show of the tour at that point! When we finished we went to walk off stage (VGS was headlining that night) and the crowed chanted so loud that we had to go back up for 1 more song hahah we couldn’t believe it! Never before in the history of this band have we ever been asked to do an encore with out being the headliner of the evening but hey since it was co-headline tour VGS was totally supportive and we went back on! El Paso….. KILLER! Can’t wait to go back!
Albuquerque New Mexico. The Launchpad…
This is a venue we are never disappointed in. We’ve been playing The Launchpad for years now and the kids are always great and the venue is always a blast! Joe treats us super well there and we’ll be going back as long as he is open! The show was about 20 people from being sold out and the kids were nuts the whole night it was awesome! I would like to point out that for dinner we all (us and voodoo) went to eat at a place called The Black Bird. They hook up the bands playing at The Launchpad. Just about everyone had this sandwich/burger called ……. Check this out, It was a big as burger with grilled cheese sandwiches for buns!!! i was in heaven hahaha! I forgot to grab a photo cause i was to anxious to eat it hahaha. We all left that place happy campers and I highly recommend it!
Ok so the next update is Phoenix but I’m gonna do a separate post for that. I just wanted to catch everyone up for now… We are currently headed up to Santa Cruz to play 2 nights with The Expendables… This will get messy…. haha
CHEERS!
