So we have just returned from our first "national" tour and by national we mean, an east coast stint and a west coast stint.
La, SF, Berkeley, Portland, Seattle, Eugene, Corvallis, Cottage Grove, NYC, Nashville, Asheville, Brooklyn, Philly, Chapel Hill, Charlottesville, Atlanta, DC, and more..
We ran into lots of great bands along the way- and held down alot of time in the van listening to tunes...
Bands we shared bills with and fell for: the Moondoggies in Seattle, Hoots and Hellmouth in Philly, and Katie Herzig in Nashville. Catch them live- you'll be glad.
Music on the Road- I suppose I never got into the Decemberists until now.... missed the craze! But caught it now. Lot of time on the floor of the van trying to sleep between the two benches on the floor driving from city to city and absorbing what just happened there- can't turn over on your side its so tight- so turn on ipod (which I lost on the West coast) and close your eyes. I listen to alot of our Junior League practices I record.
I think my "fall to sleep" mix included- Gillian Welch (One More Dollar, Lowlands, NoOne Knows My Name, Dear Someone), Nickel Creek (Pastures New, Out of the Woods, Sabra Girl), Both Go Down Together, Junior League Practices, The Be Good Tanyas ("Nobody Cares For Me, Human Thing, and For the Turnstiles, Only in the Past)
maybe you should fall asleep to them too I am sorry, I don't spell check
