Day 1: We offically hit the road on Saturday, due to the first two shows being with reasonable driving distance from our hometown of Wilton. As everyone arrived to Nick's house to pack the van we soon realized we were going to be filling the van to max capacity.
We are very fortunate to have a light designer on this tour! Dan Howard, one of Connecticut's finest liquid light engineers, agreed to share his space-gift with us for the next few weeks. Here's a picture of his liquid lights in action at one of our New Haven shows...
In addition, we have our good friend Ethan Michael on tour again! During the last Colorado tour, he filled in on bass for Seth - but this time, he will be playing guitar and percussion. Throughout our band's four year history, he has been a constant source of energy and enthusiasm, so we are very excited to have him back on the road!
With these two extra people, we will have a whopping 6 people in the van throughout the entire tour. That also includes 6 bags of clothes, sleeping equipment, and everyone's musical gear. Basically we're stuffed!
Our first show is at Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope, PA - a venue we've never played before! The drive was quick and easy, but the load in was tough. We hit a freak thunder storm right as we were arriving to the show and had to race to get everything inside, whilst getting poured on. Once we were all settled inside, we quickly set up and had dinner before starting the first of our two sets. Here's the setlist from the night.
