My friends!
Hello from the Rock Band Live Tour! We are two shows in to this wild ride and it has been so good to see you again!
Where to start? It has been a while since we last visited each other.
First and foremost, we have taken a break from recording our new record in order to tour with The Cab, The Plain White T’s, and Panic At The Disco.
We are so thrilled to be playing songs to an audience instead of into a tape recorder.
The band and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what way to approach this set, and we have devised a way to span all of records (like a tasting menu), including some from The Shade Of Poison Trees that we are playing for the first time since the day we recorded them!
I have seen some familiar faces out there during and after the show. I am so grateful that in this strange and scary climate you have come to visit with us for your dose of escapism.
If you came out to the first two show, thanks so much, and if you are coming out in the approaching weeks here are some things we can talk over when we meet up.
Firefly (I have been ranting for years about the greatness of this show, and Johnny finally decides to watch it cause his neighbor brings it over to his house!)
The Foot Fist Way (“your weakness disgusts me”)
Selma Blair (old crush renewed with vigor!)
Twilight (the book, the movie, the “stakes” are high [I couldn’t resist!])
JJ Abrams’ Star Trek (Sylar as Spock, Harold and Kumar’s’ Harold as Sulu!!)
W. (It’s funny cause it’s true)
Rachel Maddow (a voice of reason [and levity] in a complicated political landscape)
What’s new with you (its been a while)
I can’t wait to see you!
Vote for change!
Chris
