Final Stretch...

Monday May 23rd: We drove to Philadelphia for our performance at Danger Danger.
The venue was actually a big house that was converted into a performance space so it was definitely unique (but sort of weird)
There were 2 other acts on the bill (4 total including me and Smoke Screen).
One of the acts ended up falling through so it was just us and this group from DC called Les Rhinoceros.
It was basically a dead event but we rocked it anyway. Les Rhinoceros were awesome and a really cool. They were definitely a great connection. And despite the annoyingly unorganized nature of it, the owner said he would love to have us back at some point.
So that was solid - Very cool to be in Philadelphia.

After waking up in Philly and packing all of our stuff up, we had to head back to Brooklyn for our performance at Public Assembly.
When we arrived at the venue and met the sound guy and the owner, we were so relieved to see that they were actually calm, professional people, unlike most of the people we dealt with over this tour.
We actually got a decent crowd out and our performances were definitely the best so far.
After the show, the sound guy, both of the bouncers, and the owner said they loved us and would love to have us back with a more organized approach.

As a whole this tour has definitely been rough, however it has been extremely beneficial in many ways and I've learned SO much about the industry.
It's currently 2am and I'm definitely still delirious. We've gotta get on the road back to Cleveland after we get some rest.
We have our final show at the Grog Shop on Thursday the 26th. It's gonna be a great show.

  1. So are you actually going to go back to those performance places? It sounds like they really liked you, and you could have a shot to really get recognized. Hopefully your performance goes well at the grog shop!
