tour entry 2
Well this blogspot hasn't been updated in a while but we haven't really had access to internet until now. We've had many things happen to us, mainly funny or enlightning, but I'll cut to the chase.
We played in Sacramento on Friday and it was great. The Branch St. house is really keeping it alive in the Sacto punk scene and many people should do what they can to keep it running. The promoter Scott was nothing more than hospitable and we thank him for the fun show and for hooking us up. Please check out Aggrochrash, Side Affects, Exhile and DCOI!, as they are great bands both local and far trying to do what we are.
The next day we had a day off and decided to go to Berkeley and went to 924 Gilman to go see Sabertooth Zombie, Skin Like Iron, Downpresser, Worship and Secret People. There was so many stage dives during Sabertooth! I stage dove and landed hella hard on my back. Kudos to Diego and Zakk for stage diving and Zak needs to stop being a bitch when other handicapped people come into the venue and take his handicap punk scene points away, especially if it's a 60 yr old lady in a eletric scooter and getting down more than he does.
Salinas was on Sunday and the show was a pretty legit. It felt more like a bunch of people hanging out than a show really. We just hung out, played with a snake kept dangerously close to the pit in the garage, and people were hella DTF (Down to Frisbee.) There are some down people in that scene and I think they should keep on doing what they do and you guys should check out Moth Voices, Antartica and our homies Spinal Breaker. Big thanks to Mario for the show and the empty house to smoke out hella bud and sleep in.
Now we're in Santa Cruz and have been since yesterday and have a show today at Streetlight Records at 3 pm. Cory, Diego and Zakk slept in Santa Cruz with a metalhead they had a short encounter with in a pretty punk/metal/alternitave themed coffee house and the rest of us slept with a really cool girl named Diana and her dog Ziggy at her house on her floor. This is wayyy better than the RV stop we slept at outside of Salinas after Berkely. That's for sure by a long shot.
After today, we have a day free and afterwards head to LA to play in La Habra with Blocked Up and others.
Expect more updates soon. We come back on Saturday and we really miss all you guys. I'm turning 20 tomorrow. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, let's hella party.

Our first
Tour is going great so far. Midnight Venom has been on the road since Monday and they said that the shows have been poppin' ever since the shows CYC with Crooked Ways. We are now caught up with them after our tour van explosion here in Sacramento waiting to play our first tour show at the Branch St. house tonight with other touring bands.
The only reason we even got to go ont this tour is because our friend Marco decided to drive us personally and tag along with us on our trek because he's hella down with gnarly situations and good times. Our next show is on Sunday in Salinas with Spinal Breaker but not before having a day off tomorrow and going to Bezerkly to catch Sabetrtooth Zombie at the Gilman.
The days off are sort of a nuiscience, but it's beats being home by a long fuckin' shot. This hectic touring life style I actually find serenity in. I could do this for a long time.This blogspot will be updated as it goes along, so keep in touch.
