I'm enjoying fall. Last year at this time we were buried in a national tour leading out to CMJ and back. Those were good times for sure, but this year I find myself enjoying fall in Seattle. Leaves are falling, folks are putting on there warm clothes, and the coffee shops are hummin'.Don't get me wrong, I love being out on the road. We just did a quick trip down to San Francisco this weeken...

I'll start by saying Happy Holidays! We're back from our 2008 US tour and just starting the planning process for Europe in '09. It's great to be back in Seattle for a bit. This is a beautiful place at Christmas time. It snowed this weekend and everyone seems to be in the Christmas spirit. We hosted the Brent Amaker and the Rodeo Christmas party this weekend. Black Daisy and the Purrs opened the...

Journal 9 - CMJ2008 RODEO US TOUR JOURNAL - 9New York, NYNew York and CMJ agreed with the Rodeo. After the Bridgeport bringdown, there was a real chance that we'd roll into the city and get our asses whipped. But I think God is a cowboy - or wishes He was. We pulled into New York and recharged our batteries on a strict diet of pizza, whiskey, and all-access badges. Our first show was at a grim...

Journal 62008 RODEO US TOUR JOURNAL - 6St. Clairesville, OHPart 1: FUCKED BY A MACHINEThe Rodeo's got a pretty classic look and sound. We wear all black cowboy gear and we record stripped-down songs on a seriously old tape recorder. But we don't live in the past. Shit, we got ourselves a Tomtom GPS unit that tells us how to get from one show to the next. These GPS things are real handy. But the...

2008 RODEO US TOUR JOUNAL - 2October 16, 2008Mitchell, SDMitchell is the Rodeo's second home town. This is where our friends/video producers Cody and Troy (of Black Daisy) are from. Johnny, too. These cats get a lot of love here and it translates into a town full of kick-butt Rodeo fans. On the last two tours, I listened to Brent and Sugar talk and talk and talk about the 2006 Mitchell sh...

After 20 hours in transit (much easier the second time around, believe me) we finally got down to playing music. The Café t’ Goor is a posh spot with a stage and a fancy lighting rig. And about 9 people. Small crowd, but spirited. We took the stage almost exactly 24 hours after waking up the previous morning. I think we played pretty hot, but I had a lot to drink. Two women arrived in fu

HOWDY!Well, I'm back from Oklahoma. It was great seeing the folks and the party was just dandy. Back just in time to get ready for the release of our new record, a college radio push, and a tour. We could use your help. Our record just hit the desks of college radio DJ's all over the US. The record is starting to chart in a few markets which is very exciting. Here's a list of stations wit...

I'm taking a trip to Oklahoma tomorrow. It's my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Shit, that's a long time to be married. I'm getting a little sentimental about the whole thing. I'm looking forward to being home. I wouldn't recommend Oklahoma as a destination, but it's a great place to be from, and I love going back. So, I'm getting ready for the trip, and I was thinkin' about road trips...

PRE-US TOUR BLOG 4: "!OD YDWOH" We got a van! This time out, we're touring the U.S. in style. I've racked up a lot of Euro kilometers, sitting 4-across on a bench seat with a seatbelt clasp digging into my butt. I remember sitting so close to Big Molecule that I could feel him belching before I heard it. Precious, precious memories to be sure - but that's all behind us now. The new van is HU
