Is a really great venue in South Gate, Michigan (just outside of Detroit).  Great sound system and sound guy.  Great People.  It was the last show of our tour and one of the best.  Thanks so much to everyone involved, we can't wait to return!

... was generally pleasant.  We stayed a few days with my sister in Santa Cruz (the set of the movie The Lost Boys... the amusement park was gaudy and the vampires cave is under a bridge just down the street from where we stayed). We had a great show in San Fran with our new friends in Foxtail Somersault.  Reno was a strange town that happened to have a huge biker convention in it when we were there.  Them new Boss Hog V8's sure are burly bikes!  A show in Fallon, then in Denver with a cool melodic mathy band called Pena. 

Jumped on a bill in Lawrence with Zombi who we have played with before.  They are great guys and they tote some serious prog intensity with them where ever they go.  Also on the bill was a one man act called This is My Condition.  He had strapped a bass to his drum kit and played it with his drums sticks while screaming into an effected mic.  The end result is something like Lightning Bolt meets Bob Log III.  Very nice indeed!

Omaha came next with a fun little show in an ice cream shop with the group Ars Nova.   Then some Iowa shows with Petracovich, Death Ships, and Stephanie Rearick.  Stephanie is from Madison and is absolutely incredible.  One of the best musicians I've seen on tour.  I can't wait to meet up with her again.  You should check out her music at: http://myspace.com/stephanierearick

Now we are back in Iowa City gearing up for two more shows and the drive to Providence.  Hope to see all the East Coast folk again soon!

Boston on Monday night.  The Middle East Club is a massive Boston club with three stages.  We played in the upstairs, the medium sized of the rooms.  Free food and beer is a huge plus to this place if you are on the road.  Sound system was phenomenal.. people were friendly and even though we opened, there was a good number of people in the room.  The List Exists stepped far outside there normal rock bounds for a free form noise jam with processed banjos, bowed guitars, bells, and turntables.  Ebb and Flow were a three piece with guitar, drums, and a farfisa/moog.  They played solid rock songs with a crisp sound.  The evening was closed out by Abernathy; a nice and friendly group of local rock musicians.
