So, we are about half-way through our tour and figured we could take this time to talk about living conditions and such. The food everywhere has been outstanding. The only bad food we have had was the airline food. We have been fed steaks twice, most dining facilities have grills in them. One especially good DFAC in Qatar actually had a Krispy Kreme in it. People are definitely getting fed well over here.
The rooms we have been given have all been nice as well. Mostly it's two per room, a couple of times we have had our own rooms, and once all six slept of us in a room with three bunk beds. Which was fun, except our sound guy Devin snores ridiculously loud, and Adam somehow imagined to hit his head on the TV stand. Although nobody can figure out exactly how he did it...
Everybody so far has been extremely grateful for us coming to play for them. We have to remind them we are way more thankful for what they do for us. Thats why we wanted to do this tour.
CDs! We have a new CD. Its called Takeout and Leftovers, and it looks like an advertisement for Burger King or something. We made the CD especially for this trip. We took a few of the songs we had recorded that weren't on a CD and packaged them up and made a six song disc out of it.
Track List
Janeane
The Bad Guy
Save Me
Doomsday
Late Afternoon (Acoustic)
Bloodshot Eyes (Acoustic)
We have been playing most of those songs out and about except "Save Me" which is new. We are giving away these CDs to the troops as a sign of our appreciation for what they do for our country. BUT, we will also be giving them away at our Welcome Home Show at Amos' Southend on June 4.
Everybody who comes will get a FREE copy of the new CD, after that they go up for sale. Our ladies in Triple S Booking have gotten some awesome bands to come play with us! Flagship Brigade, Hot Lava Monster and Parallel.
So come hang out, hear some great bands and get a FREE CD!
