What's up Stank Nation? Hope life is treating everyone well. Well it's
only been 1 week since the release of for(n)ever and the start of our
tour with 3 Doors Down and I feel like there's already been a whole
tour's worth of stories. We had a blast playing in a park in downtown
St. Petersburg FL. Thanks to the 5k+ people who rocked out with us on
an unusually cold Florida night. After the show we had ANOTHER show at
a club but that one was acoustic. Good times. Felt like a giant sing
along. Jacksonville was great except for the fact that Dan tweaked his
back really bad on stage with 3 songs left in the set. He played the
final songs slumped over in a chair. We had to cut the song "All About
You" since he was in so much pain. Jacksonville we owe you one extra
song next time. Superbowl Sunday found us in Sebastian FL and found
Dan out of commission from back pain. It also found me doubled over in
pain from some sort of stomach virus that has yet to fully run it's
course. Being sick is such a bummer! The show in Sebastian was really
cool. We played at what looked like a beach club. The stage was like a
dock and the floor was the beach. The power went out during soundcheck
and for a moment we didnt know what was going to happen with the show.
The crowd was large and extremely talkative which made for a good
time. Truely a "house party" vibe.
Finally today we woke up in Pensacola to play an acoustic set that was
a lot of fun but felt like we were on the set of some sit-com since it
was in a tv studio. We got vanned over to Mobile AL after the show and
now here we are with about 2 hours before showtime at the Soul
Kitchen. Tomorrow we'll be in Houma LA and then we'll get a well
earned day off after that. For as much as I love these shows I have to
admit I'm anxiously awaiting my off day. That was the abridged version
of our week. The extended version would have been too long to type on
my iPhone. Check back in later for another update. Thanks everyone.
