Last show of the tour...We played The Troubadour to end the tour and it was a blast! The Troubadour has some serious history, having played host to the likes of Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Hendrix! HENDRIX for chrisakes!! Just being there was enough to cause a sensory over-load.
We got to the venue fairly early. Again at the request of the soundman, and again as has been the case all tour, we waited for the other acts to sound check and then we did our quick 3 minutes. Guitar? Yep. Laura Vocal? Yep. Josue Vocal? uh..Yep. And that was that.
We went on early, around 8:30, which if I'm not mistaken has been the earlie
st we've played the entire tour. But we were kinda stoked on that, because we could then just relax and listen to the rest of the bands and CHILL! We played a smoking 40 min set, accentuated by me modifying the set list mid-set and asking Laura to do Waving from the Whims for me. She absolutely killed it!! What a way to end the tour. Her voice soared, and I just listened and smiled, and actually sang along away fromn the mic like a fan. It was an awesome moment. The house was packed; the crowd called for an encore, but the soundman denied us (what a mook!). Whatever, we went on to commence the celebration. Tour Over! Success!

The drinks were expensive, but what did we care. We had sold some CD's and basically left the money at the bar. Who cares! Favorite moment of the night was watching this awesome ska band DANNY FONTAINE & THE HORNS OF FURY (www.myspace.com/dannyfontaineandthehornsoffury). They killed it and by that time I was feeling no pain, and was dancing my arse off. Great fun and a good night! And that was it. Went home to sleep and try to catch a 8am flight back to the USA.
What a summer! What a blast! Check the THANK YOU post for, well, thank you's and final thoughts on the "Enjoy Your Day Job" Summer Tour.
Cheers and until next time
