Awoke in Canada after a restless bus night. Za didn’t make it in and Buddy had to get his passport so we switched drivers (hi Steve) for a night. A day of recuperation in a hotel in Toronto… tea, Emergenci, TV, Internet, practicing India etc… Quick trip to the mall across the street for a ...
Fairfield, CT, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Nice show in Fairfield. An unusual FTC members only event but the crowd was excited to see us. Darts in the dressing room. Wandered to the beach with Mars and Amanda. Windy. Feeling a bit under the weather actually… blah blah…
Now this is my favourite show of the tour. Boston has been good every time we’ve been here. What a fine bunch of people, a nicely proportioned stage with just the right surface, great sound that doesn’t destroy ears and we’re right next to the Fenway. Here’s a video with a good feel. There was ...
Irving Plaza was hotter than anything. I’m not sure if they accidentally switched off the air conditioning or whether it was just the electric ambiance, but i could barely see for half the set. Great packed show with a few technical things going on that really didn’t matter thanks to the good vibrations between crowd ...
stupid, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. A day off in the city… wore our feet out wandering the village; Organic Grill (incredible breakfast for vegetarians), tried on hats, shoes, tshirts, didn’t buy anything… got overwhelmed, looked in record stores, ran out of steam, sat and had a drink and watched it all go ...
Philadelphia was hot. This is turning out to be the official muggy tour of 2010. It’s weakening the Californian/Brit in me. I like to walk and wander. I can’t seem to do it with the humidity… so much for the health-tour of 2010. Anyway, the Blockley is tiny and the soundcheck was like playing Coopers ...
Getting so far behind on this! Quick one to tide us over. Rams Head Live – great venue, fantastic audience – great show – my favourite so far you might say.
Baltimore, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. A day off yields the worlds longest-arriving breakfast at Shirley’s (it is memorial day), a dip in the pool, a viewing of Harry Brown (excellent, brutal) at the local cinema with Mars and Tim, and the arrival of Andi (minus luggage) at the airport. All in all ...
The bus broke down an hour out of our Florida show. I thought it was a tire blow out but apparently it was broken fan. Slept a bit then woke up at 8 still an hour from the florida show. Another 7 hours to go! Credit to our driver Buddy who took care of business ...
Grey day wandering a parking lot… Levelz is a big club – great show with friendly, exuberant audience… These Floridians; they know what to do! Our first meeting with She Wants Revenge; seem like very nice guys – should be good to hang out with them for the next six weeks. Back on the road ...
