Homeless……..for now.
Being on tour is a lot like going to camp. Day 1, you’re a little nervous, and you meet a bunch of new people. These new people, you’ll be spending a lot of time with over the coming weeks. Gradually as the days go on, you get closer. You bond maybe, and your friendships grow. You find out who’s really nice (those who like being on tour), and who’s grumpy (those who don’t like being on tour). Finally, at the end, you don’t want to go home!
Last night was our 1st show on this, our latest tour of North America. This leg of the tour has us opening for the Super Furry Animals. Show number one was at Maxwells’ in Hoboken, NJ. In case you’ve never heard of the venue (or just haven’t seen it), the place holds about 150 people MAX, and has a killer sound system. The staff are great, and unlike most rock venues, they’ll feed the bands a great meal! Seeing the Super Furry Animals at a venue like that is a real treat. Definately one of the smallest and most intimate venue you’ll see that band in. I remember seeing them at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto (cap. 1500) a few years ago. An amazing show.
Our set last night was pretty good. We’ve managed to fine tune a set list that we’re happy with, and thanks to Craig, the sound guy, our sound on stage was really great. Despite some gear malfunctions on stage, I think we managed to pull it all off. It also didn’t help our nerves when we found out that Yo La Tengo, and Steve Shelly (drummer from Sonic Youth), were there. SonicBoom (from Spaceman3) was there too (he was selling merch at one point)!
