Hey Socials! Throw me a comment to lmk that you’re keeping up with this tour! I have to admit to my first negative experience here. It’s a big nothing burger, really, but it involves lack of sleep, a creaky old building, and a ghost. We arrived at the Kentish Hotel in Waiuku after a half…

Last day at Parakao. It felt strange to leave. When we arrived back at the venue, everybody fell quite naturally into hugs, conversation, music, food…it felt like more like a family reunion than a gig. So it seemed abrupt and uncomfortable when we loaded into the car possibly never to return… Thankfully there isn’t time…

Hey Socials! Just more of the same from this ridiculously cushy tour. The audience at Parakao was all about us, and it made my heart glad! That and the gloriousness of the scenery 😍 It was THE most happening show in literally the middle of nowhere NZ. Karl loved it! Before the show we were…

Hey Socials! I’ve got to update you on two very fruitful days! Our killer New Zealand bassist, Alex, finished his run with us after the first two shows, and SF based bassist – Edgar San Gabriel – is on the job! I’m gonna miss Alex’s UNBELIEVABLE lead bass solos, but I’m also excited for the…

Hey Socials! We had our first official show of the tour last night, and if the reviews are to be believed, it was a smash hit!!! I’m over the moon!!! Doing it again, same venue tonight. While I was too preoccupied to take pictures during the event, I’m scouring fb for pics and video! In…

Rehearsal day! Stopped into McDonalds for some quick breakfast (McDonalds coffee here is better), popped into the music store for some last minute items (See Karl updates below), and headed to the rehearsal studio. There, we rehearsed both shows – mine and the headliner’s – for a solid 6.5 hours! By the time we left…

Hey Socials! Here’s what’s up! I had an excellent time meeting the boys yesterday and getting acclimated to the scene here in Auckland! We checked into our band apartment for the week, and headed over to a Sunday afternoon jam session. After traveling for a couple days, I think we were all ready to cut…

Hey Socials! So it took about 24 hours of travel – layovers included – to get to New Zealand, but I’m feeling great and looking forward to tonight! Our headliner, Billy TK, is giving us a tour of Auckland before bringing us to our first musical event of the tour – an open jam he’s…
