European Transmission Part I

These blog posts are going to be a bit behind as we've been quite busy and during down time I find myself wanting to sleep more so than anything else. I landed in London after a shitty 10 hour flight and we headed up to Derby. One of the best shows of tour thus far with an incredible crowd full of good people. Following the show we loaded out and made our way over to a house where the bands played a second set at a couple of rad dudes flat. Basement was pretty tight, so Evan played in the living room for what would be one of the coolest sets of tour so far. Grown Ups packed into this tiny basement and blasted out a few songs not played earlier in the night and a few covers as well. I'm sure video has surfaced of this event by now.

Next stop was Leeds, A city I've never been to but heard would be a great time. After arriving at Matty's house we sucked down a few beers and rolled out to do some midday bowling. Its nice to not be running around all afternoon and be able to relax a bit pre show. After another great turn out we ended up back at Matty's for some talks and more beer. We ended up staying up until the sun arose before passing out on the couch.

Most of the photos above are from the drive to Manchester as well as our group photo out side the Dirty Otter house. Manchester is one of my favorite English cities and I always have a great time driving around and exploring. After another good gig at Tiger Lounge, we headed back and crashed pretty early. We followed our sleep with Curry Mile where I had some of the best Indian food of my life before hitting the road bound for Nottingham.

Thats all for now as I want to enjoy my coffee before we are head out to London for a busy day of interviews, meetings and the last UK show of the tour. More updates coming in the next day or so. Excuse the lack of details and grammatical errors.


Transmission II: Nottingham, Cardiff, Swansea, Birmingham and London.
