Holy shit, the road was amazing! We started out in Vegas where we bedded down with Ryan McPherson and emerged from Sapphire Strip Club at dawn. The Grand Canyon was grand...we jammed in a cave and recorded a song called Vaudevillains. Flagstaff is such a cozy little mountain town, and the creeks of Sedona are splendid. Phoenix was a boiling pleasure as always, and LA always makes for an interesting night. Coming home to the Tower Bar and a Scarlet Symphony show was a storybook conclusion.

We were so honored to tour with guys as amazingly talented and humble as Zodiac Death Valley. They killed it each and every night, and we can't wait to get to the Bay Area. See you soon...D&D

I am pleased to announce our premiere performances. We're hitting the dusty trail with SF's Zodiac Death Valley...All liquored up on that road house corn
