On tour day 25/26
currently listening to ‘Summertime-Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff’
Yeah, it was a little 2PAC and Coolio before that. In a very reflective mood, as the remnants of the night are dispersed on the floor before me. Around us is a heap of clothes, suitcases, and various foods from the last 3 days and nights. It’s nearly 7:30 am and I am somehow seriously considering actually leaving for a train back to Liverpool in 2 hours to meet someone before our gig tonight (soundcheck at 530pm mind you) for which we are just falling asleep now…Well some of us, anyhow…
It’s amazing to reflect on the past 6 years of this band at a time like this. With our humble beginnings in a basement, our first series of recordings (and many crazy hours in our parents’ cars), I never would have even entertained the idea that by the age of 26, I would traverse the world with just a dream in tow and barely enough money to get by.
But getting by is exactly what we have been doing. From London to Bristol to Manchester to Preston to Glasgow to Stockholm and beyond, somehow we have survived this extremely overstimulating and wonderful journey. The shows have certainly been our best, most passionate, and best received. We’ll be back next year for sure. More to come after we get time to make some videos, post photos, etc…
