Philadelphia, PA - Much Better

We booked a show at the School of Rock in Main Line, PA (outside philly)....and it was awesome!! It was such a rad place, with a ton of young rockers, great people, and an awesome venue. We absolutely had a blast.

New York, NY - The Last 15 hours....

This was a ridiculously awesome show, and quite possibly the hightlight of the entire tour. We played on the LES at The Delancey...and there was a line of people to get in.

We had no idea the caliber of musicians we would meet that night. Every old school rocker from the 70's and first CBGB days was there. Buddy Bowser, badass sax player for the NY Dolls was amazingly cool, loved our set, and posed for some sweet pics!

New York, NY - The next 15 hours....

We were ridiculous tourists...legitimately ridiculous. Most of the band had never been to the city. So we rode the trains, went to Central Park, walked down to Times Square, and bought outrageously expensive shit.

New York, NY - The first 15 hours....

We slept in a Wal-mart parking lot in PA, about an "hour" from downtown. We had a hotel for later that night in Little Italy, close to Pianos, the club we were playing at. We got going around 7:30am and it took us till 12:20pm to park the van, just near Pianos. (we spotted a sweet Space Invader tag across the street)

 We decided to grab some food at a sweet little, legit Italian restaurant near the hotel. It was bad ass!

The show was alright, we just played so super early that our nerves were a bit rattled. But it was a rad bill, with a lot of super awesome bands, and very nice people.

Philadelphia, PA - show?

This was by far the most....challenging?.... thing we've ever done as a band.

First, it was a long-ass drive from Nashville, for our first show in 3 days. So we were really looking forward to playing again.

When we got into downtown Philly, we were stoked to find the club, grab some great local food, and play show! The venue was a tiny lounge above a dance bar that had a DJ playing sweet Katy Perry Jams all night. We had to bring our own mics/stands/cables and our own door person if we wanted to make any money. (makes complete sense).

And then there was the stage. It was an "L" shape, that was about arms length deep. Chase played on one end of the L. Steve in the crook (with just a kick/snare/hh/crash), Jaime stood in the middle, (next to the stripper-pole), Carson on the other end, and Kristin mostly on the floor. We started to play at 10pm (there were no other bands booked on the bill) and after the first 8 measures of our intro, the owner ran upstairs yelling in his crazy/scary philly accent that we were too god-damn loud and had to cut it in half. So.... instead of being pissy little bitches, we decided to have fun and play a lounge set. All amps went down to 2 (we could speak normally over the volume), and we had a fabulous loungey time!


Oh, and Carson broke a string, Jaime/Chase/Steve worked the stripper-pole, and our baby & nanny got caught in an all out table/chair throwing fight in a mcdonalds.

Washington D.C - The Show

The Velvet Lounge was awesome. We played with some cool local bands. Kristin & Jaime were thoroughly entertained by the craziness of the last band. Look em up if you get the chance!

Washington D.C. - The Daytime Story

The day started off with a trip to a little hole in the wall Jaime & Chase scoped out from the show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives called Tortilla Cafe. We filled our bellies on delicious food, and then decided to be compete tourists, since most of the band had never been to DC. So, we walked from 7th AAAAALLLLLLLL the way down to the Washington Monument, then across from the White House. At this point we all wanted to jump in the van, and get some well deserved beers...but instead we had to walk about 8 more blocks to find it. So we really did see ALL of Washington D.C.
