Weve just Arrived in DENVER Colorado at the start of our Fall/Forwards tour – doing 15 gigs in 20 days — its gonna be intense, and my sampler pad got mashed in the plane. so whoopie do ! // well have a cd at the gigs of the egg in london. see you there..
Day 2!
Well after arriving in denver jet lagged to the max, we / I thought our equipment didnt work at all, no screens on our pads etc.. funny hums coming out everywhere.. and basically OH Shiiiiiittt! …
Anyway so went of to the deserted Denver art museum by Daniel Libeskind… Crazy building.. Mental AND pointy..
And got to the venue- the cervanties majestic ballroom, in Downtown Denver- all our hired stuff was in huge cardboard boxes to unpack, kind of like christmas.. a bit..If only i could keep that nice sparkly drum kit.. At least its mine for 3 weeks…
Anyway , we plugged all our stuff in using US power converters- and it all worked! Stupidly the US hotel power was like , half of what we use.. so ?ok! us Dumb ass brits no nothing… and proud of it..
and the gig was great.. Hector came to see us who’d heard us way back.. we played venice beach to open at his request and he jumped like a loony, so did the crowd, wierd for 12.30 am.. ?! Anyway The gig went OFF … and some guy painted in time with us.. a bunch of people who’d seen us at camp bisco spread the word, cos the place was full..
got some interviews of the people and a recording off the desk .. nice.
3 hours sleep at the hotel and were currently on a 8 hour drive through Kansas, in the sunshine, in our tour bus- our home for 3 weeks..working our way through last nights rider…Fields and fields of endless corn and grass, a few drilling rigs, really long goods trains, and really straight roads, funny truck stops where all the service shops sell , everything, like gun magazines?!?! and ……. Playing tonight in Lawrence. lets see if we can get all the bits we got wrong last night right, and vice versa!!
