Betsy in the Twins.

So a couple weeks ago we got the opportunity to play a couple Tuesday Wed. shows up in the great Twin Cities. This is probably the best thing about being in a band whether you suck or not.. being able to play different cities. Let alone doing it with your closest homies(band term). After a couple stops at subway we finally reached the cities..

Our first show on our Tuesday Wed weekend tour was at the 7th street entry which is the smaller venue in First Avenue. You know, the place where Prince played purple rain. After some PBRs, Tequila shots, and electrical shock straight through Matts body from his amp, we decided to play.

Although we have no pics of us actually playing we do have this pic of this girl named Betsy that bought  us shots before we played. luckily we had some Omaha friends at the show to keep up the drinking with us and it turned out to be a pretty fun show.

Another thing we liked to do when were on tour is eat Domino's. I think that mostly ties in with us just being drunk and loving pizza, either way it's awesome. I like to give props to the Puerto Rican on this one because he ordered us a delicious pepperoni, green pepper, and black olive pizza and a chicken, bacon, and feta delight. Good job little buddy!!! *Matt won the pizza eating race.

The next night of our shows in the cities is one we were really excited for. We were opening up for MOTHER MOTHER at the Fine line Cafe. This was huge for us being an out of town band opening up for a well known band. So we kind of took the whole green room thing to our advantage. 

Although they did have the case of beer for us we never did see the chips and salsa they promised us.

The stage was pretty jammed packed with shit but the dude from mother mother was cool enough to let nate use his big old bass amp. I felt like we played really well and the sound at the venue was probably the best we have ever played out of. Plus they even had a dude running a light and smoke machine while we were playing. Not to mention the same dude kept calling us cats and even had a sweet leather vest on. 

After we got done playing we went back to the room and slammed that case of Budweiser in about 20 minutes. After some drunk band hugs we decided to go up and listen to the headliners play. If you have never heard of Mother Mother I strongly suggest you do because these Canadians know how to play some good catchy pop songs. 

They played a great set and better yet they were one of the nicest bands we have played with in awhile.

After it was all said and done we hung around in Minneapolis for a couple more hours and decided to get a good head start and drive to the border of Iowa only to find ourselves in a casino to cap our trip off. 

*Collin won 150,000 on red.

I think im starting to grow up..

So I guess I decided the age of 21 was a good year to start growing up? Well at least that's the way it feels. I finally moved out of the parents house and started going to college (a real college). Thus making me feel more free and trying to be productive and finding cool new shit to do. This is where this blog will come in handy. Im gonna try and post some music/skateboarding/pictures and other shit going on in my life.

For now I will leave you with a cool dunk video of me and my cousin
