We came up with the term, Straight Fistin', on the car ride. Kinda means like if you are happy, partying, getting your groove on, or ready to get crazy, you're straight fistin', however, if you are tired, or trashed, or sick, you are straight fisted, implying that you had at one point been having a great time, and now you are paying.

So we are a 1/3 into our tour and so far things have been getting crazy and amazing. First show was in Boston at The Western Front, we played to a crowd of roughly 40 people along with some amazing local acts including H.W. and Emoh Betta, got a lil too tipsy for the set and blew my voice, don't worry it was healed by the next night.

So we drive back to our tour mates house that night to sleep, just over an hour, wake up in the A.M. and we have a flat tire. You fucking kidding me? Tour just started and we already got a flat? so we went and shelfed out 100 bones to get a new one and made our way to burlington vt for our next show at Radio Bean Coffee. People were awesome. We show up and everyone is just hangin in there booths and on their stools, we get going and instantly get a good response. Everyone participated in the crowd participation aspects of our show and helped to donate towards our new tire fund. next day we head out to NYC!

We get there and instantly check in with the venue. Walking in the place is massive, decked out with tons of halloween paraphanalia and awesome lights, we ask about the show and they tell us it's downstairs, we're all like "awww but its so cool up here". Walk downstairs, into a midevil dungeon lounge, something like you would only see in NYC. So pumped playing in a dungeon we go out and hook mister Nobody Cares up with his first taste of "Real New York Pizza". Show was amazing Both Kuan, and Sea Monsters rocked and we had an amazing time. stayed out til around 3 am at a swanky wine bar, the type you might see a vampire at, and had an amazing bottle of wine. Sea Monsters bass player, Janelle, let us stay at her place and treated us with amazing hospitality.

Headed out a lil early the next morning for New Hope PA, were we find one of the most amazing costal towns ever. So many nice and amazing people we met. We walked around and ate at a few places, had some snacks and drinks, it was hannah's birthday afterall, and went shopping at some awesome shops. Going into the venue, "John And Peters" we get ready for our next show. Played with two bands, Faster than Fate, and Of Fate and Chance. Show rocked, minus the 2 heckling bitchesfor N.Cares and us, but we both got an amazing response from most everyone in attendance and sold a very healthy amount of merch. We were taken in for the night by Elaine and Toni whom upon waking wisk us to a local diner for breakfast and onto explore a haunted high school. This place had been burnt down, rebuilt, and burnt down a second time! While scowering through and around we came upon a family of deer with baby mama and a papa, no pictures of them unfortunatly.After saying our good byes we travel once again and into the welcome loving arms of Mr. P.T. Bernum!!

Both N.Cares and Bernum shared with us someone of similar interest, mr MC Homeless. Stories flew out from all angles and inspired a new song which i'll post once we mix it all down. we went and played our show in Baltimore at Side Bar Tavern, along with locals Reg and Iron Soul. the smallest crowd of the tour with a whopping paying crowd of 3 along with the 4 people working and the 6 band members we performed to roughly ten people since 2 were on stage at all times haha. Apparently, according to an innebreated N. Cares, our set was so good he wanted to cry, maybe cause there wasn't many heads there, or because he was fucked up ;).

Headed out and came to our next area here in Virginia where we are staying with the ever kind Observa! Tomorrow nights show will kick off the 2nd leg of our tour in Harrisonburg VA at The Blue Nile. Come out and see us with CBZL, Masked Queens, and Astronomers. PICTURES AND VIDEOS COMING SOON!!!!
