MOVING ON...

IT'S HARD TO DO SOMETIMES. SOME PEOPLE THINK GOD LET'S YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME. OTHERS THINK THAT EVERY DECISION YOU HAVE EVER MADE HAS BROUGHT YOU TO THIS POINT AND THE PATH YOU TAKE FROM HERE DEPENDS ON YOU.

AFTER 7 YEARS, HUNDREDS OF SHOWS IN 14 COUNTRIES, AND COUNTLESS HOURS IN PLANES, TRAINS, AND VANS... OUR DRUMMER CHRIS COLEMAN HAS MADE THE TOUGH DECISION TO MOVE ON. HE WILL BE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL AND TAKING A BREAK FROM MUSIC. WE ARE SADDENED BY THIS, BUT EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THIS WILL BRING NEXT FOR OUR BAND. OUR GOOD FRIEND DEREK WYATT WILL BE FILLING IN UNTIL WE FIND A REPLACEMENT.

CHRIS, YOU HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING DRUMMER AND AN EVEN BETTER FRIEND. WE HAVE SEEN THE WORLD AND ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING WE SET OUT TO DO. BE PROUD.

TOUR BLOG 3!!

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE CAUGHT UP SO THIS IS A QUICK LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO!!

WE STARTED THIS RUN AT VINYL IN ATLANTA. I ALWAYS LIKE PLAYING THIS CLUB AND IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE WERE THERE LAST. THE CROWD WAS AMAZING AND WE PLAYED WITH SOME GOOD BANDS. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE ALL THE FAMILIAR FACES. THERE WAS AN EARLY SHOW THAT FEATURED THESE LITTLE KIDS THAT WERE PLAYING AC/DC AND PINK FLOYD SONGS. IT WAS SICK!
IT WAS ALSO NICE BECAUSE CARY AND I GOT TO SEE OUR MOM SINCE SHE LIVES NEAR THERE.

AFTER A GOOD BREAKFAST WITH MOM, WE WERE HEADED OFF TO ORLANDO. THERE WAS NO SHOW, BUT WE WERE SHOOTING A VIDEO FOR WORLD ON FIRE. IT WAS AN ALL NIGHT SHOOT, AND A GREAT EXPERIENCE (SEE BLOG BELOW). AFTER SHOOTING WRAPPED, WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND LEAVE FOR OUR NEXT SHOW IN TAMPA. IT WAS 7 AM AND I NEEDED MORE THAN A FEW CUPS OF COFFEE TO STAY AWAKE, ALTHOUGH THE BANDS SNORING SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO KEEP ME UP! ANYBODY WANNA HELP DRIVE?... ANYONE...OH NEVERMIND.

AMAZING SHOW IN TAMPA WHERE WE PLAYED THE CROWBAR WITH OUR OLD FRIENDS RADIO RESET. GOOD GUYS. WE HAD OUR USUAL AFTER SHOW, AFTER PARTY BEFORE HEADING OFF TO BED. WOKE UP EARLY. COULDN'T SLEEP DUE TO SOME KID OUT IN THE HOTEL HALLWAY THAT I WAS READY TO STRANGLE AT 6 THIS MORNING! WHO LET'S THEIR KIDS DO THAT?

SO AFTER A SHORT NIGHTS REST WE HEADED TO TALLAHASSEE AND OUR RESIDENCY AT A LITTLE CLUB CALLED BIG DADDY'S. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO B.D.'S IN TALLY ON A MONDAY NIGHT, YOU KNOW THAT THE ROCK SHOW IS JUST A FORMALITY THAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE REAL PARTY BEGINS, WHICH IS 80'S/INDIE DANCE NIGHT. I'M TELLING YOU...IT IS A THOUSAND DEGREES WITH HUNDREDS OF SWEATY COLLEGE KIDS ELBOW TO ELBOW SHAKING IT TO THE COOEST DANCE MUSIC EVER! THANKS TO ROB AND THE STAFF AT B.D'S WHO ALWAYS MAKE EVERY SHOW THERE MEMORABLE. ha.

WITH ASPIRIN AND WATER IN HAND WE WERE OFF TO EVANS, GA TO OPEN FOR THE GIN BLOSSOMS. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF EVANS AND DIDN'T KNOW THE GIN BLOSSOMS WERE STILL AROUND, BUT WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN WE ARRIVED! IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATER AND THERE WERE 2000 PEOPE THERE! AFTER A BLISTERING SET (WHICH INCLUDED A 4 YEAR OLD I BROUGHT UP ON STAGE TO PLAY DRUMS WITH CHRIS), WE HAD SOME OF THE BEST CATERING WE HAVE HAD IN A WHILE. FILET MIGNON, VEGGIES, CHICKEN... IT WAS WHOLESOME AND OUTSTANDING AND THE PERFECT WAY TO END THE DAY! THANKS TO FOR THE FANS ENTERTAINMENT FOR TREATING US SO WELL!

AFTER A 4 HOUR DRIVE TO NASHVILLE, WE WERE OFF TO THE AIRPORT FOR A FLIGHT TO BOISE, IDAHO. WE WERE SCHEDULED TO PLAY A RADIO SHOW FOR 100.3 THE X! AFTER A LATE NIGHT ARRIVAL WE WERE FINALLY IN BED AT 2, ONLY TO BE WOKEN UP AT 8 (THERE IS A THEME HERE), FOR OUR MORNING INTERVIEW AT THE STATION. SO...WE GOT READY AS FAST AS WE COULD AT THAT TIME AND HEADED TO THE STATION. WE MET SOME REALLY GREAT DJ'S WHO HAVE BEEN PLAYING "UNTOUCHABLE" LIKE CRAZY AND WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE SHOW! THANKS BIG J AND NICK!!! AFTER A NAP WE WENT TO THE VENUE TO FIND ABOUT 600 PEOPLE THERE JUST FOR US!! I THOUGHT WE WERE AT THE WRONG PLACE! THERE IS NOTHING SWEETER THAN HEARING ALL THOSE PEOPLE SING THE WORDS TO A SONG THAT WE WROTE IN MY BEDROOM. IT WAS AMAZING! THANK YOU BOISE FOR A GREAT NIGHT! THE OPENING BAND MALACHI WERE REALLY NICE GUYS AND TOOK US OUT TO SHOW US THE TOWN AFTER THE SHOW. GOOD TIMES!

AFTER A FLIGHT HOME THAT INCLUDED SITTING ON THE CHICAGO RUNWAY FOR 2 HOURS DUE TO WEATHER, WE WERE FINALLY HOME FOR A WEEK. WE LEFT THIS LAST WEEKEND AND PLAYED RIVERBEND FESTIVAL IN CHATANOOGA. THE CROWD WAS SO FUN AND SO MANY PEOPLE WERE SINGING OUR SONGS. IT WAS A REALLY ENCOURAGING RUN AND WE ARE EXCITED TO GET BACK OUT AND SEE MORE OF YOUR FACES! THANKS FOR SUPPORTING US.

WORLD ON FIRE VIDEO SHOOT!!

A FEW WEEKS AGO IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLORIDA RUN WE MADE A STOP IN ORLANDO TO SHOOT A VIDEO FOR OUR SONG "WORLD ON FIRE". IT HAD BEEN IN THE PLANNING STAGES FOR MONTHS BEFORE THE ACTUAL SHOOT. WE HAD NEVER DONE A VIDEO LIKE THIS BEFORE AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A WEIRD, LONG, BUT FUN EXPERIENCE. WE STARTED AT 7 PM AND FINISHED AROUND 7 AM!


THE VIDEO WAS SHOT AGAINST A GREEN SCREEN AND WILL HAVE A 1950'S SCI-FI KIND OF FEEL. IT WILL BE DONE BY ADDING CGI EFFECTS TO THE LIVE FOOTAGE WE SHOT. THIS TAKES A LONG TIME, SO IT WON'T BE READY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE DID ALL KINDS OF CRAZY SHOTS. ONE WITH US ALL WEARING GAS MASKS AND ONE WITH X-RAY GLASSES.

THEY HIRED A MAKE UP ARTIST THAT WORKS AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS AND MADE THE CUTS AND BRUISES FOR OUR FACES. IT WAS AMAZING! WE LOOKED LIKE WE HAD BEEN IN A HOCKEY FIGHT. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE FINAL PRODUCT!!

THANKS TO DIRECTORS CHRIS GREIDER, MATT TINLEY AND MATT HUTCHINS FOR WORKING SO HARD AND MAKING THIS HAPPEN! ENJOY THE PHOTOS.

R.I.P.-"BIG WHITE" 2000-2008

WE GOT HER IN THE YEAR 2000. SHE HAD BEEN SPECIALLY BUILT FOR US BY FORD MOTORS IN SAN DIEGO. WE PICKED HER UP AND SHE WAS A THING OF BEAUTY. SHE WAS SHINY, AND PERFECTLY NEW. THEY HAD PUT A QUEEN SIZE BED IN THE BACK FOR THE LONG DRIVES AND THE T.V. AND VCR MADE THE TIME FLY BY. WE EVENTUALLY ADDED SURROUND SOUND, DVD, AND X-BOX. IT WAS OUR SANCTUARY. OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME. A LOCKER ROOM ON WHEELS.

WE HAVE HAD OUR SHARE OF UPS AND DOWNS. SHE HAS BEEN T-BONED IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY BLACK ICE IN INDIANA. ALL THE WHILE, SHE PROTECTED US AND TOOK ALL OF THE HITS SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO. AFTER 8 YEARS, 44 STATES AND OVER 256,000 MILES, WE HAVE TO PUT HER DOWN. THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE ROAD WILL TEST EVEN THE GREATEST OF VEHICLES.

THANK YOU "BIG WHITE". YOU NEVER ONCE BROKE DOWN OR LEFT US STRANDED. YOU TOOK CARE OF US EVEN WHEN WE NEGLECTED YOU. YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS. R.I.P.




WE MAY BE DONE WITH HER...
