Our band was held up at Gun point. (just another tour story)

Last week, on July 4th, the band was on a journey to Fresno. They were on their way to celebrate the occasion with local friends Style Like Revelators and play a show on the 5th. As they cruised down Highway 99 North the front right tire of the band van blew out. This left the them stranded on the side of a random exit in Tulare, CA (the desert.) Hours went by and a tow truck showed up to help resolve the issue. The singer and drummer went with the tow truck to a nearby walmart to exchange tires while the rest of the crew waited patiently at a dingy motel near the freeway. In this hour of excitement, a man walked into the hotel and decided to hold up the band and clerk at gunpoint while taking all the money he could. After making a less than clean get away; multiple cops showed up to question the victims. The singer and drummer mad their entrance to the scene and picked up the rest of the band mates. To make a long story short, you’ll never know what the road will bring!! Be prepared!! Watch the video below.

No guts No glory (especially in a leaky motorhome.)

Over the past 5 months, my band members and I have been living in a 93′ Chevy Motor-home. I talked about this in a recent blog post. However, a few days ago it began to rain…and rain….and rain. I looked to the right corner of the cabin above the passenger seat and noticed two bad leaks! I mean these streams of H20 were on a fierce path of destruction! In my lethargic state of half-sleep I got up and thought, oh boy I have to deal with this right now. I got out of bed, ran to the trailer hitched to the back of the RV (which we use for touring/storage), and grabbed a big blue trap along with some bungee cords. Then I realized I didn’t have a ladder. I jumped in my Ford Van (Which I use for local transport) and used it as a ladder! That’s right, I parked it close to the RV and hopped on that bad boy. After the tarp was in place I got back in the RV only to find the leak still going! So in essence…I had to repeat the last dreadful steps with another tarp. Finally, after getting tarp number two in place, I inspected the leak and found that it had ceased. I got back in bed and thought to myself…just another day in paradise.
