hey all
i just wrote all this in a bulletin, but so what.
just a reminder: i got the new tour video up of asia so if you haven't seen it, go check it out. its actually in the previous blog. maybe i should put it on the front page too. anyways, dig it.
but more importantly, everyone have a safe and rad holiday season. whether or not you celebrate or believe in this stuff, its still cool to try and find something to be grateful for and hopefully you all can do that. things have been a little off for me lately, but i know i can still be grateful for the rad friends i have in the band i play in and all the people who support us. so thanks a million for that. ok. no more being lame.

well hello again everyone!
i know i just wrote last night, but i just wanted to let you know i finally got the asia video done. it was a bitch as it was too long, so after a day of cutting, copying and pasting, i think i got it figured out. i know that these videos only show about 2% of what really goes on while on tour, but i get to relive all the memories so horray for me! seriously, this tour was one of my absolute favorite tours ever. hopefully you can tell by watching this.




sorry it took so long. youtube hates me sometimes.

Hi, we are still in Japan. I have to say this is the best Japan tour we have ever had. Today we were supposed to have a day-off but it's Halloween and we needed an excuse to dress up so we are playing a short acoustic set at Club Quattro in Tokyo! 
Also, Matt is putting together a video diary of this current tour of Asia. I have seen some of it and it's going to be awesome, so watch out for that too.

Take care, Tony

Hey there, just finished the last show of our European Tour last night. What a great show. Rhienkultur Festival in Bonn, Germany. There were a ton of people and we played last, so it was sort of nerve-wracking but none the less, amazing. It was also Dave's last show with the band. Though Dave will be missed, I'm really glad this tour ended with such a rad night and his last show was very memorable. It was a rush to play in front of all of those people. I would also like to say thanks to all the people who came out to all the shows on our tour of Europe again. 

See you soon, Tony

hey guys!!!
i know its been a while, but i finally made a new touring update! to be honest, i kinda lost interest in making them since they never seem to get many views, but then i decided this: no use fans want to know, need to know, what its like to tour with no use for a name. so thats what i did. i think that i really captured the feel, dare i say, the 'vibe', of a no use tour. so sit back, turn off that nofx side stage pass thingy (just kiddin' mike) and experience the blood sweat and tears of a kick ass tour. with us, your friends in no use.

peace out.
