Vegas

7/30

We woke up at 5:30 yesterday morning after going to bed at 3:00am to fly to Vegas. We arrived in Vegas at 11:00 hoping that Gifts From Enola would be picking us up shortly. Due to a variety of bus problems they weren't able to pick us up until 7:30pm. We ended up meeting some English ladies, Charolette and Suzie, who were also stuck in the airport for many more hours than us. We talked about beans and toast, apple pie, and tried to explain our music (never easy). Gifts finally showed up and we piled onto the bus and headed straight for the venue. Yayo Taco was located in a strip mall and didn't scream venue, but it turned out to be a great show and tons of kids showed up. It was good to see Gifts again and Caravels was amazing! There were even kids dancing at the show (never happens in Seattle). We went over to Corey's house and got to swim in his swimming pool until 4 am. Solid dudes and good show, but sooooo hot.

7/31

Slept in a little and tried to find some veggie oil, but no luck because we were running short on time. We are going to challenge Bill to eat 12 tacos next time we go to Del Taco, as he only eats tacos by the half dozens. The drive from Vegas to LA, was hell. So hot and we over heated twice. We arrive in LA at the Pehr Space a little after we were supposed to and embraced our Sheath brethren. The guy at Pehr even bought us some slices because the microwave kept tripping the breaker when Gifts was making cup o noodles. There were a ton of people at the show and a lot of good friends and family. The show was awesome except Nate breaking the E string on his bass (what a beast!) Thanks to everyone who came out to the show!

Here are a few pics from the past two days...

So, Gifts From Enola's bus broke down last night and this morning and we are stuck at the Vegas airport waiting for their arrival. We are so pumped to be on the road with those guys! We finally debuted a new song "Monolith" on our myspace page; if you have a spare eight minutes please go over there and check it out! We have a bunch of tour dates on the west coast over the next several days; please tell your friends to come out to the shows and support some good touring bands.

p.s. airport food and drink is way too expensive. How did Tom Hanks do it?

Keep checking back.

@ Yayo Taco tonight with Gifts From Enola and Caravels!!!

NEW Record, West Coast Tour, Lots of fun!

I have been working super hard on finishing up art work for the tour this week. Tomorrow I will make the screens for the new EP, International Waters. The CD will have four songs on it and 30 minutes of music. Our friend Scott, at anyswayze studios has also been working hard to put the finishing touches on the new recordings. We think that these songs are different than anything we have done before, but you can still tell it us. After tour, we will come back to record a few more songs and then drop this thing as a full length.

We have really missed making records and touring the last few years and we are all very excited to hit the road again, especially with our boys, Gifts From Enola!

We will have new shirts, new CDs (limited to 100) and a whole new set. Please, if you are in the area of any of our upcoming shows come out and say hello. See you all in a week!!!

I will be updating this blog throughout our tour so please follow!!!

xoxo,
