Don't Worry Brother, This Will Blow Over.

So, this past weekend O Pioneers (the band of the dude who we are working with at I Heart U Productions) started their "Great North American Tour". The tour started down here and is going to take them up north until they hit Canada and then back down for a few shows. Thursday, we tagged along with the band on their first stop in San Antonio. Well, technically this show was "pre-tour", but It essentially was the start. Either way, we went to the show and got to see a ton of shitty bands play and also got to see three pretty good ones play. The first couple of bands were way too PUNX for me wearing their Casualties, Virus, and Operation Ivy shirts and sporting twelve inch high Mohawks. The next few were still better but still shitty. Then a band called The Anchor played and they were pretty cool. Then a band called the Menzingers played. They had just gotten done touring with Broadway Calls who are also pretty cool. When the Menzingers played it was like someone plugged in an Ipod in and started playing their songs. They sounded sooooo good live. On top of that, their music was really cool. I suggest that every person who is so unfortunate as to have to be put through this hell I call a blog should also check out this band via the link above. Honestly, this band makes me want to be lucky enough to be in a touring band. They played again the next night in Houston and ended up staying at the warehouse where we live and they were totally nice dudes. Their merch/roadie/singer's brother guy was totally awesome as well. Seeing how much fun this band had while playing and simply hanging out made me wonder why I wasn't doing the same. I then quickly realized being in a touring band involves being good at an instrument and being able to write good music (neither of which I can even remotely do). Maybe someday, maybe. In any event, they showed us what kind of life touring bands have. It's a life where you may have to drive 10 hours to a show where 20 people show up if you are lucky. However it's also a life where that is totally fine. To them, as long as their playing music every night they possibly can, they are having a great time. This seems beyond awesome to me and I hope it always stays that way. This band deserves to be heard.

In other news, I went to Dave and Busters for the first time in my life tonight. It was pretty sweet. Its like a Peter Piper's Pizza on steroids...make that crack...and without the pizza. I had a good time and plan on going back on Wednesday when they have half price games!!

So, we have a band in College Station. We have recently got a MySpace, but don't have any songs up yet. In any event, you should be our friend! We are called Stay In Touch! At some point, some poorly crafted and under produced songs will make an appearance on the page. Get stoked.
