UK 30 Shows in 30 Days: Day 11 – Downtime

From NME.com. We’re now halfway through our residency—not halfway through the tour, though, mind you.

UK 30 Shows in 30 Days: Day 3 – Girls allowed

From NME.com. We spent day three of our 30 day tour in Birmingham, looking for curry, drinking vodka in the van, and otherwise preparing for our show at Bar Academy. It was a windy and rainy night (typical, so we’re told) and the sound engineer was a woman named Becky. […]
