NOLA… driving through the bayou, over bridges over troubles waters, through stretches of plains and stretches of forests, and right down into the big easy. We were all super excited to have a day off in New Orleans, and we took full advantage of it – ate some jambalaya, some gumbo, walked around the French Quarter endlessly, ate beignets, threw rocks at the Mississippi, we were like kids in a candy store.
The next evening we got good news from another doctor about Sean’s vocal chords. Apparently they were hearling up well, and had some scabs on them, but he gave them the OK to sing if he thought he was ready… and he was! We played the Parish room at the House of Blues – our first time playing New Orleans and the show was awesome! Really we can tell you how amazing it is to play to a sold out crowd the first time you play in a city…
Waking up in Houston right next to some futuristic looking convention slash exposition center. I really interesting, massive building. We walked around to the downtown area and we were all super stoked on Houston! We took the awesome little train down to a place called “Breakfast Club” which apparently is where Beyonce takes Jay-Z out for breakfast when she is in her hometown, which is plenty good enough for me! It was dope as fuck – really nice atmosphere and people. Have you heard that new Beyonce shit yet?? You should probably get on that.. We played at the warehouse, and The Pirate Signal is back on for the rest of the tour, and we couldn’t be more excited about that! They kill it so hard live – they are so fun to watch. Show was great – we met a lot of really nice people afterwards, and we saw LOTS of smiling faces!
We got into Austin around noon, and all went out to get some coffee and food. Austin is awesome. What an amazing place for music! It’s insane that a town supports its music scene that well for that long – hats off to you Austin. We walked around a bunch, and even McGyvered our way to the top of the capitol building, where Brandon promptly slammed out 20 crisp, clean, and delectable push-ups. We played Emo’s that night, and the crowd was some of the craziest we have ever seen for chokechain.. it was really something else to see that!
Sunny San Antonio – our tour manager’s family was soooo nice and came and picked everyone up and brought us to their beautiful house and served us beautiful food. It was awesome… A million thanks to them! Even though Austin and San Antonio are so close, we palyed to a packed house! It was a really fun show. People were going crazy – pits opening up and shit! It was really cool to see.
Dallas.. are you serious Dallas?? Biggest show of the tour! The most people in ANY venue on this tour! Ohhhhhh shiiiit. So much fucking fun! We were all so pumped the whole day leading up to the show, knowing that we were gonna rock to over 1200 people! We rehearsed chokechain and don’t trust me with innerpartysystem playing instruments and lights, as well as chain gang! It was so much fun even during soundcheck – we couldn’t wait to do it live. The show was CRAZY – so many people. In retrospect, that is the largest crowd that we have ever headlined in front of.. And yall we fucking LIVE as hell. So much energy and so slammin of a set. Chokechain was REDICK.. thank you so much to the other bands for having fun with us onstage!!! Wow. I CANT WAIT to get back to the big D and rock out again!!! Seriously thanks so much..
DALLAS!
