Faith and the Muse Tour - recap

April 28, Nashville
Arrived at the Rutledge in Nashville around 5:00 just as Faith and the Muse were loading in. Good to see our old friend DJ Lady Sarah again since first meeting her in Chicago 4 years ago.
Met the rest of the band, and discussed stories of Julian Cope with William and guitarist Steven James, who also plays guitar for Christ vs. Warhol along with bassist Marzia and drummer Geoff as they set up. We played a decent show; began with the new intro we worked on for this tour. Excited to see F&M play next, and they definately delivered! Afterwards, cought up with old acquaintences over pictures and drinks. Loaded up and decided to make the unforgiving drive back to Atlanta; home and delirious at 6:30 am.

April 29, Atlanta, 5:15
Trey and I headed to the Highlander to hand off the remaining tickets before the show; arrived at Masquerade and met up with Tommy to load in via the magic elevator, and quickly finished in time to greet a visibly irritated F&M whose faulty navigator sent them past downtown and into the bowels of SE Atl. Then off to Little 5 to pass off a few cd's and vinyl. We decided to scrap the new intro, and stick to the raw set. Heaven stage was massive, but very professional crew and great sound. Cool to see some new and old faces from" the scene" even Mike C. made it from the State Capitol just in time to catch the show. Plans to get together and take a tour of the ATL.

May 3, Jacksonville
Sadly our last show with F&M; navigated the monsoon that engulfed the SE for 3.5 hours straight; very eerie feeling listening to the making of Love's Forever Changes while traversing the south GA. backroads...overwhelming feeling of dread and dispair. Arrived and loaded in, saw Max and settled in. Tried out more new material, by far the best of the 3 shows we played, raw and powerful. Finally got to hang out with the band after the show; exchanged cd's, poster
signings, photos, and tequila shots with clove cigarettes and fries with the F&M crew...crawled back to the van between
3 and 5am and we left with mushroom visions of the beach. Afterparty at Max's, more shenanigans, then up early for breakfast with Max, and on the road back to Ga.
