I’m late. I had to finish packing yesterday officially because I slept home the night of the first show so I don’t officially count that as being on tour, yet. It didn’t matter anyway because I didn’t miss anything. The time before shows are kind of boring; hanging around, waiting to soundcheck, forever. It’s ten minutes to eight and I still haven’t checked yet. Apparently someone told someone else that “Yak was good” and didn’t need to soundcheck. I got a little annoyed when I heard this info and told Todd Cameron Westphal that I hadn’t checked and he handled it by pushing back doors. Speaking of Todd, I want to apologize to him about yesterdays post bc some people said it might have been offensive. Finally I’m free to go and I hit up this Tai spot down the road called Song that I ate at the last time I played Southpaw and will always eat at from now on when I play there. So good. Back to the club. New York shows get awkward sometimes because I end up seeing a lot of different people who I might know, but not really, and want to have the deepest of convo’s and don’t really pick up on me actually trying to get mentally prepared. I prefer not to go down that road before I have to play but somehow it happens time and time again. Anyway, it’s showtime. The crowd is chanting so loud I don’t even hear where I’m supposed to come in. I suspect the same thing happened last night. Sure enough I didn’t hear it but I caught it, barely. For round 2, the crowd was also super into it. It seems like a lot of people got Scifentology II and downloaded Gas Galaxy. At the end of my set I noticed some people come on stage from behind. It was some of my Cardboard City brothers, Daryl Palumbo, Jarvis, Julien Gilbert. That was awesome. My dude Nick Hook of Cubic Zirconia was also in the building. EL broke a month of sobriety. Also I met so many fans that mentioned they have been following us for a long time and I can’t explain how much that means to me. Cage, F.Sean, and Chauncey killed of course. I think one of my favorite new Cage songs live is Hell-Oh. It’s Bonkers. The boys are back.

Enjoy the free download of Gas Galaxy live from the first show
