EUROPE!!!! 5/31 - 6/5

Keeping the text to a minimum on this one because there's way too much to cover (remember), and I'm not nearly as witty as our dearly missed Road Chief, Chris Coyle. He'll be back on the Prehistoric Blog for the next tour, don't worry!

This tour, we are in in Europe with the Ocean, Intronaut, and Earthship. Here's the bus we're sharing with the Introbors.



First show was Wiesbaden, Germany. Totally bitchin' in every way. Jet lag schmet lag!



After the show we partied with the locals and our new tour mates.

Things got bromantic quickly.

Next show was Bochum, Germany. I'm not gonna keep telling you what a great show every night was - just trust me, they have all been amazing!

Now the lack of sleep is catching up, but the schedule at the beginning of this tour is brutal, so we catch whatever little cat naps we can.
Lyngby, Denmark. Nuts!

We had to leave super early in the morning because we had 2 shows this day. The first was a festival show somewhere in the middle of the woods in Germany. David tries to catch a nap beside a fire pit.

We were the very first band to play this stage, but there were already a ton of eager rock fans being weird. I wish I had better pics of some of the outfits... dammit!

Off to meet up with the rest of the gang in Bremen, Germany. Road soda!! So nice to not have to drive on this tour!

Bremen crowd.

After the Bremen show we had to stay at the bar (I know, boo hoo) and just hang out until it was time to drive to the airport for a fly-in show to Athens, Greece. By this point we have averaged about 2 hours of sleep a night and things are getting weird, but we a professionals, dammit! Luckily, there was a super sweet bartender that matched us shot for shot.

On the way out, Bryan almost lost an arm to the ancient stone version of himself.

No sleep. Delirious at the Frankfurt airport, but SUPER excited to see Greece!

I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out there really WERE about 2 dozen girls in matching turquoise hats and shirts. Never did figure out why. But I like it. Do I? I don't know.

That's Greece down there.

The Athens crowd was INSANE!! So much fun and totally worth no sleep. I figured we'd get a few hours that night before we had to leave in the morning- but, no. Had to stay up and eat amazing food. Again, totally worth it.

Maybe I can sleep on the plane? No.

Berlin crowd. Super fun.

And after this show we finally got a solid 6 or 7 hours of sleep. I wish I had the energy and memory to go into detail about how crazy it is and all the awesome people we've met so far, but dinner is ready and I gotta eat! I'll get caught up on the rest soon.

What We Did For Our Summer 2013 Summer Vacation: Part Duex.

Okay, where were we? Slayer. That’s right. So, after all the craziness that was the first couple weeks of the tour we finally settled into our digs for the rest of the tour and met our driver Jens: Things you should know about Jens: The man can drive his ass off. You don’t want to eat his hummus, or he will kill you. If you’re a promoter that ripped off another band he was working for who happens to be at the show he is at, you best find a ATM because he will shake your ass down for all that loot. (Did that make any sense? I don't care.) After a quick bro down with him, we made our way to Interlaken where following a night of hanging with some road homies and watching some Rammstein… Wait, I have to say something right now. I, like a lot of people out there, have never given a good goddamn about Rammstein. Never got the allure. But after watching them live—HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I couldn’t tell you what one of their songs sounds like but their stage show

European Headliner Part Three

You know the saying better late than never? This post very well might be an exception to that rule for the following reasons: 1)    I lost my camera and all the photos on it. So I have to use whatever is on my phone and John and David’s photos. 2)    Since being home I have had more beer poured on my face than a corpse at an Irish wake and remember little to nothing about the last couple weeks in Europe. 3)    Compared to the road where all there is a van full of dudes that I don’t really want to talk to after a couple weeks, at home there is a couch and cable to distract me. 4)    I took no notes about said last couple weeks because: 5)    I am really lazy Wiesbaden, Germany 4/27/12 I remember this place! It was an old slaughterhouse turned venue. Those rods on the ceiling are where they would hang the carcasses.  This is going to be easy. Winterhur, Switzerland 4/28/12 I got nothing. No! Wait! This was one of the most scenic drives of the tour as you can t

What We Did For Our 2013 Summer Vacation: Part One

Hey there world, it’s been a while—over a year. I know that a lot of bad stuff has happened out there since my last post and I’m sorry, I did not realize that this blog was the delicate thread that held the world together. Now I know and I’m going to try my best to get back on the horse and start really blogging about the important issues that you, the world, crave. Such as the regularity of our farts, and whether or not Bryan’s socks look like a well steeped tea bag. Because then and only then will you, the world, be able to relax knowing all that is important is, once again, available with the click of a mouse and feel free to kick your collective feet up and tackle this whole North Korea thing. But you have to understand, maintaining this blog is not as easy as it used to be for me. You see, now that we are international rock stars with up to 100 people showing up at every show, my duties with the band have changed. In the olden days (back in the early 2010’s) the world was m
