And So It Begins

Shortly i will be leaving the comforts of my Denver home, my good lady and my two boys (meow! to you both). I will be heading west to Los Angeles, Burbank to be precise where i am meeting up with the band and our merch queen. Ideally we will have everything we need, but who am i kidding, i am sure we will have to go get something.

Thursday is a rehearsal day and final preps as well as the day we pick up our home for the next two months, a shiny new RV, i would love to return it in identical condition but once again, who am i kidding?

Friday we kick off for real in Pomona where i am told it will be 93 degrees, add on 10-15 for the asphalt baking effect and we have potential for some prime english lobster.

check back for more later.

Looking forward to seeing this lot, it is a band, on Warped later this month. As i said it is a band, built around a Singer/Songwriter of the same name, performing name anyway. She certainly does appear to have the might of Universal behind her at the moment, hope it all works out and they don't expect a miraculous pay off straight away. Anyway here is the video for "How i Could Just Kill A Man', enjoy

Sweet news from Warped HQ that Chiodos have been added to this year's tour, unfortunately it is only one date but it is in Detroit, also added is Matisyahu who will be on for 3/4 days in July.

Chiodos is a band i have liked for a fair while but never seemed to have given them attention they deserve, that changed recently after SXSW where i caught them at Emo's, there was also some Craig Owens shenanigans with Anthony Green both of which made me dive deep into the two Chiodos albums that i own. For that stuff with Anthony Green then i am sure a swift youtube search will reap rewards.

Chiodos is shit hot rock music, a sextet whose vocalist has a distinct and powerful delivery that perfectly captures their tuneage, check them out and make your own opinions.

Lexington is currently getting airplay on all good radio stations, and some bad ones too.

Summer's a coming

So naturally i am looking forward to the Warped Tour this year as once more i will be taking in the greatest parking lots of the US in all their baking hot glory.

On Warped this summer TAT , who you should check out now. Obviously i am going to say they are awesome and you should catch their set when you go to the tour but don't just take my word for it check their music, see them live and make up your own mind.

Also on tour i will be updating this, ideally each day, with a tour diary type thing. The intent is to have pics, interviews and maybe the odd track or two from a variety of the bands on tour but, good intentions 'n all that.

Over the coming weeks i will be previewing some of the bands i am looking forward to seeing. Currently waiting on permission from a couple to put up some tunes but in the meantime check out these Myspace pages.

Powerspace dunno if they will be on Warped yet
