As I sit here in Tallahassee at 2:40 in the morning reviewing questions like "which statement is LEAST true about empathy" I wonder why im not writing a Smartbomb blog. BECAUSE I got arrested last year right before the fest in Gainesville, I am required to complete a 10 hour anger management class...so here I am. The last possible day I can do it. HA. Anyhew, 5 shows left on this Outbreak/Smartbomb tour we have going here. Unfortunately, this tour was far too short. Phenominally, this tour will be taken to Europe in April. Oh and Perks is killin it for both bands on this tour as well. So scope him out on the drums at one of these shows! The shows have been really awesome for us and the Outbreak dudes have been more than awesome through all the BS we endure. (Mobility, Gear, etc...) Thanks babes. A very huge thing on this tour was that it was most of our first times being away from family on Thanksgiving. Personally this is my favorite holiday. That aside, Our lovely friends Rhea and Elias Derke brought us into their homes to share thanksgiving with us. Eleni, Mike, Elias, Rhea, and Yiayia all made us feel right at home and we couldnt thank you more! Everything was fantastic! Believe me, edible arrangements will be dropping off a delicious fruit fountain in the near future.
Mind as well get to the last part of this incoherent babble and thats what 2009 holds for us here at Smartbomb camp. Why not start the first day of the new year? Okay we will. We have a short east coast tour with a rad band from Providence called She Rides. Check out their shit! www.myspace.com/sheridesmusic. After that we will take a little break to write and save for our Eurotrip with Outbreak in April. We were originally supposed to be going over for a month with a band called The Idoru but we had to make a judgement call and decide it was in our best interest to do a shorter tour our first time over. It'll be a bit more than a weeks worth of shows in the UK and most likely Scotland and Ireland. I couldnt be more excited for that one! We shall be back with another post with details post UK tour. Thanks for reading!
