So we’re on the longest stretch of driving that we’ve had to do so far, and its been an eventful couple of days.
We arrived early in Medford, which was a nice break from showing up right on time for the show. We laid by the pool and napped for what felt like a million years. After lazing for a good 3 hours, we went on radio KSKQ and did an interview which you can listen to on The Alternative Show’s Blog
The Ashland show was at my dear friend Amy’s gallery The MAda Shell Gallery” where we performed in front of a life sized portrait of the execution of Big Bird. This was our ultimate anarchist moment. There was butcher paper on the walls and all in attendance were encouraged to paint they’re visual interpretation of our music. The final result was some really cool sketches, outlines, and a cartoon ant saying “totally awesome”! It ruled.
We got up early and were ready to take San Francisco by storm. Unfortunately the wheels of our Honda didn’t seem to share our same ambitions, and we were stuck in Corning California for an hour getting new tires, which blew. Then our car decided the new tires were cool, and we got on our way.
We arrived in San Fran a little later than we though, but decided to grab some crepes, and then made our way to the Hemlock Tavern, which is a super clutch venue. Not only did we have a good crowd, but that crowd was made up of a lot of old friends, including
a few that I haven’t seen in about 12 years, which was nutty and amazing. We played a fun set with SF band Endroit,3 and realized we have to be in Santa Barbara at 12 the next morning, so scurried back to the hotel and hit the hay. Anyone in the SoCal area who can get KCSB’s radio signal around 12:30 should tune in, we’ll be playing and interviewing before our show at the Biko House.
