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...

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...

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

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.

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...
