So we are back from our midwest trip with For Want Of. Although we couldn't make two of the shows happen, we had a blast with our new Texas friends. Many thank yous are in order...
-Our Cloudy boiz, Matt, John and Zach for setting us up one of the best Chicago shows we've played, letting us crash two days in a row and tearing it up as always.
-Jack Senff and the Analecta boys for setting us up a show in South Bend even though the weather prevented it from happening.
-Greg from The Dan Akroyd House for the show, place to crash and letting us get back into his house cause we are a bunch of forgetful assholes.
-Eric and Will in Louisville for setting us up at Skull Alley. We weren't able to make the show because of van troubles but they tried their best to make happen for us.
-Jay at Gas America in Crawfordsville, IN and his brother Tom Ross for being the nicest strangers I've ever met. When our van broke down Jay got a hold of his brother and he fixed our van on the real real cheap in the parking lot of Advanced Auto. Can not thank them enough, they saved us around 800 dollars. Without them we wouldn't have been able to finish the tour.
-Andy at The Monster House for the food, show and awesome place to crash.
-The dudes in Annabel for letting us play their record release show and Corey, Scotty and their room mates for letting us crash at the Kling Thing house and step on people's shoes.
-Victoria and The DAAC for consistently booking us excellent shows in Grand Rapids.
-All the new and old friends we got to see and play with all the nights of tour: The New Yorker, Goose, Sweet Talk, Graphite, Oh! Goliath, Last Legs, Leonard Hatred, Maryn, bst.cr, Drug Money, Into It. Over It., Two Handed Fools, Nigel Thornberry, Boy With Mace, Good Teeth/Gold Teeth and Cain Marko.
-Last but not least the dudes in For Want Of. Without those dudes, we would probably still be stranded in Indiana. They consistently stayed positive and made the tour 100 times more awesome. I'm so glad they could make it to the midwest and become some of our best friends.
Now that is all out of the way. We are excited to announce that this March we will be doing a 2 to 3 week tour with Empire! Empire! to make it down to Texas to play SXSW. So pumped for this and there will be more details about that soon!
