Schwervon! Summer Sun Tour 2012: Philly, Baltimore, Roanoke

Chevy
This is Chevy. She lives with our friend Liv on a farm in upstate NY. We stayed with her after out show in Kingston, NY. This is actually the second dog named Chevy that we’ve met on tour this year. They were both extremely sweet.

The Great IndoorsOur buddy Barrett, from Ghostlight, pulled off our last minute Philly house show with flying colors. Thanks for the peeps that came out.

Rock Fuel
The following day we had a great 4th of July backyard show with our old Baltimore pals The Degenerettes and Silence Kid. Special thanks to Rahne and Kristen for putting the night together and Troy for opening up his house for such a lovely party.

Nan on the stairs.The next portion of our tour will be known in the history books as the “Rash Days.” For some mysterious reason, after the Baltimore show, Nan came down with an extreme case of heat rash. She seems really itchy and pretty miserable. Like the ultimate rock Goddess that she is, she still managed to kill it for our Roanoke, VA show last night with The Bastards Of Fate . Our movement towards the South combined with several days of extreme heat already are not making things easy.

Roanoke Flyer
Doug from TBOF was nice enough to make us pancakes this morning! It was great to share a bill with them in our favorite place in Roanoke: Bazaar Consignments. By the way, any friends in the DC area should check out The Bastards Of Fate at The Galaxy Hut in Arlington this Sunday. Cool place! Really cool band!
Watch your cakes!

Present from our friend BillThank you New York for welcoming us back with open arms. The Brooklyn show on Friday was down right spiritual. Big ups to Berth Control, Supercute, Freddie Fox & Trixie Rose, John S. Hall’s impromptu poems and those super nice fellas at Big Snow. Check out these AMAZING sculptures that our friend Bill gave us at the show!!!

The Beacon River Fest show the next day was a pure relaxing delight. Loved the pulled pork tacos and sweet potato pie. We even found a bag of weed in the parking lot which we passed onto our friend Anthony. Score all around!

And last but not least the Goodbye Blue Monday solo night was a wonderful homecoming. It was nice to share the stage again with Julie and Gold as well as discovering favorite new local band Heavy Birds. Thanks to Steve and crew at GBM for always being there.

Nice Spread
Nice spread at last night’s Humboldt House Party. It was nice to be able to visit our second family in NYC so soon after our relocation. Nan and I miss and love you all so much. We feel truly blessed for having such wonderful friends.

IMG_2236And big ups to Roland, my sleeping buddy in Buffalo. You are like a well adjusted Gummo and almost as attractive.


Last night we reunited with our old friend Seth Faergolzia for a relaxing house show at Meddlesome Lab  in Rochester. His latest project, 23 Pssagz, is not to be missed. The night was rounded out nicely by locals The Sleep Soundlies and Brain Blatt’s (Gaybot, DUFUS) awesome new project: A Victory For Upfish. Also great to meet Laura and get in a little butterfly hunting with Anouk before hitting the road again.
