Back To School Tour: Road Report: Indy, Canton, Pitt and back in NYC

Posted on August 28, 2012 by | Leave a comment


Okay! Day 3 on the road. We hit Indianapolis and played a show with our new Naptown band buddies Mr. Clit and the Pink Cigarettes and then I ate way too many pancakes at Denny’s after the show.

Next was our first show ever in Canton, Ohio where we ate way too much Chinese food and then played a hoppin’ show with a cool psych-folk rock duo called Dolly Rocker Ragdoll. They’re coming to NYC soon so keep an eye out NYC friends.

Tonight it’s a house show in Pittsburgh. This is our first visit here and we have to say,  “So far, Pittsburgh, we really like your style!” We got in a bit early, so we grabbed a bite and went for a nice walk. The skyline is quite beautiful.

We are now camped out at the Crazy Mocha Coffee shop, where their mascot is a goat, based upon the myth about the discovery of coffee. As the story goes: one day a goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats hopping around after eating these mysterious wild berries. And, you guessed it, they turned out to be coffee beans. Hope to see some dancing goats at the show tonight!

Tomorrow, we hoof it to NYC where, hopefully, we’ll get to spend a night off with some friends. And then it’s the big Vaselines show on Thursday. Hee Haw! Get your tickets here: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=4592295&pl=bellpl

If we had to pick a week where we officially became Kansas City-ans, this last one would have been very much in the running. The Major Matt Mason USA and Nan and the One Night Stands double bill at Weirdo Wednesday  was one of the more enjoyable hump days in recent memory. And last Saturday’s Schwervon! show at Davey’s Uptown with The Electric Lungs and Drew Black and Dirty Electric totally knocked it out of the park for us! Here’s little video from the show taken by our favorite local Vinyl Merchant: Sherman Brenaman!Gracias KC for a great week! An extra special big “Merci Boucoup!” to all the dancers. Hope to see you all again on Friday, September 28th at the Riot Room!

At Weirdo Wednesday a guy, who never told me his name, handed us a piece of paper with this sketch of Nan and I performing solo on either side. Pretty cool! I liked it so much I scanned it. Thanks guy who’s name we don’t know.
– Major Matt Mason USA

– Nan Turner
