Two Rawr Updates!

Posted by on June 23, 2009

Tour is so fun. So fun in fact that I never want to take the time to write about it. Actions speak louder than words. You are what you do, not what you say. Etc... My band mates, feel differently and told me that I had to blog.The last couple of posts have been regarding the Ace Hotel, where we spent a three day residency. Pretty fun. The rooms were luxurious. The clientele was hip. The pool was dialed… (read more)

Tour post #1: Palm Springs

Posted by on June 19, 2009

After playing at the Bottom of the Hill last night we found no room at the inn so we drove through the cool bay night and into the desert heat. Slicing through barren terrain only interrupted by Joshua Trees then wild fields of windmills and pseudo palm tree cell towers, we have arrived in our chosen SoCal hub: the familiar yet foreign Ace Hotel and Swim Club.Next, Hotel Cafe in LA this evening.Here… (read more)

Tour Preparation

Posted by on June 14, 2009

Hey folks,I'm sitting here burning CDs for the show tonight at Mississippi Studios and the upcoming California tour. I take care of the CD burning and the rest of the band does the creative covers.

Not only was Alicia there, a friend who used to live in Portland but now resides in Austin, but we had the pleasure of having Cohen of Gypsy Pop Records on… (read more)
