Who Gives Kudos:


Saturday, March 14, 2009 

Current mood:  depressed
Ok, so the first few weeks of tour have been great! We had some awesome shows w/ Abandon Kansas, Pompeii, as well as The Rocketboys. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, and for those of you who missed out, keep looking out for more dates later this summer!

Now onto the bad news...

Here's the deal.  Our last show was in Austin Texas, and we had planned on driving all the way to Pensacola Florida through the night, hanging out on the beach and chillin on our 3 day break before making the trek up to our east coast leg of the tour.  

At about 4 in the morning, most of us woke up to the van's engine shaking and sputtering; almost jumping out of the van.  After a $500 tow to the nearest town with a mechanic that could take a look at it, we were told that we need an entirely NEW engine put into our van.  Not only does it cost us a HUGE amount of money, (that we can't afford) but it's going to take at least a week to 2 weeks before we can drive again, therefore forcing us to cancel the east coast dates of our tour. 

Thanks to everyone who was planning on coming out to see us, and we apologize that we can't be there to play.  We will DEFINITELY reschedule though, so don't worry.

We are currently in Shreveport, Louisiana staying at a friend's house, and could use any help/support that you can give.  We are trying to hop on a few shows here in Shreveport to raise some money to help pay for our van, so if you are in the area, come out to the show tonight!  If not, and you feel like helping us get back on our feet, there's a donation link on our myspace page that you can use to send us a few bucks if you want.  We truly appreciate everyone's support. 

In the meantime, come say hi! we'd love to chat!

Thanks guys,

Matt, Weaver At The Loom

What a bummer! I wish you guys all the best. It's funny what happens when the universe takes over. Who know, maybe there's something right in front of you just waiting to happen ;-) 1 luv, Amy C.

What a disappointment for you. I don't know anyone in Shreveport but I know people in the lower half of the state who might be up for a show. Unfortunately getting there would be slightly difficult. Hope you guys are able to get back on the road quickly.
Good luck!

I have a son in Gulfport Mississippi. There is a musician in the house. Maybe you can stop by there. Right along 90 on the coast.

Wow guys! That's intense...you should get some of the loyal MN bands up here and do a "raise money for Weavers Van Concert" then wire the money to you guys....

Hope things work out! -James (JABBERWOCKEY) ps.
Still loving the music!
