Now We're On Tour

Written 17 October 2007 by Graham Wright

Fall has always been my favorite season. Feeling that bite in the air, pulling out a coat, crunching through fallen leaves as you walk. It makes me feel romantic, and so its especially galling to be spending the first days of the season driving from city to city once again. I can’t say I had a blast in the studio, but at least I had a bed to myself and knew where I was when I woke up. What a life we lead…

In Victoria today. Its sensational how many people are perfectly happy to invite themselves into our dressing room and help themselves to our food and drink. Nathan from Cold War Kids made a good analogy about how it would feel to have some stranger waltz uninvited into your bedroom and start flipping through your magazines and using your toothbrush, and I really do understand what he means. Its the only sanctuary we have on the road, and having people treat it like their personal party zone is pretty irksome. Anyway…

After this tour we’re going home for a couple of weeks to regroup and rewrite some songs, and then its back into the studio to (hopefully) wrap things up there. And then we’re going to stop for a very short while, and do it all again. I can’t imagine having to start the wheels turning again when they’ve barely stopped, but such is the nature of what we do.

Thanks everyone whos come to the shows so far, you’ve all been great. If we missed you this time, don’t worry, we’ll be back before you know it.

  2. OMG. You’re totally talking about me. I’m sorry! I was desperate after you guys stood me up and wouldn’t give me an interview. I got it in the end though, didn’t I? Thanks, I’ll give you a copy after it goes to print!

  3. Sometimes that’s the way it goes. Being shuttled around place to place, staying only to perform and then off to the next venue.
    I know it’s tough, but we really do appreciate it and
    great job in seattle!
