Hello.

Yep, our short 5 date tour of California was fantastic. We flew into SF, hired a Chrysler Aspen that seated 8 people and fucked off round Cali for a right laugh. Gigs were great, people were great and the place is very great. A lot of people pulled through for us and did far more to help out than they needed to. First and foremost we'd like to thank Theo and Jackie who basically set the tour up and provided us with a base to work from, we couldnt have been made to feel more at home. Jackson and Ryoko who travelled with us, tour managed us and did a lot to help out and organise us (cos we aint organised). Jeff and all at 924 Gilman Street, Berekley. Stormy Vehnekamp from Leave Home booking and Eddie from Numbskull Shows, thanks for letting us play. Eric and Audrey from San Luis/Santa Barbera, great gigs, cheers! Basically, we borrowed/used stuff by virtually every band we played with so a real genuine thanks to all those bands - they are all listed on our list of all gigs we have ever played - here - www.theleifericsson.co.uk/gigs.xls - we just wouldnt have been able to tour without people lending us drum kits and speaker cabinets so thanks again. Anyone we met over there, please get in touch and say hello, otherwise hopefully we'll make it back one day.
