Straight Outta Compton

Whats up guys and girls.

You join a sun-kissed team biff (well, 5 of us) in Los Angeles, California, on the evening of a rather sunny day.

Last night, the band finished their dates with Editors at the beautiful Wiltern Theatre.

We finally got to bed around 6am.

Tonight (in an hour) we leave to go to a club called Cinespace, where the band are playing a club night, which we’re told has a high chance of Lindsay Lohan showing up. Fuck sake.

Its been a wonderful jaunt round the USA with our brothers in Editors… We’ve made it to the West Coast, which didn’t happen on the last tour, and got to enjoy the hospitality of San Francisco, Seattle (on the day ‘Puzzle’ was released in the USA) and Vancouver (where the band had flown to almost a year to the day previously, to begin recording the album).

Tomorrow we fly red-eyed to Berlin, to immediately begin a stretch of European headline dates. It’ll be fun, if tiring.

The headline tour of the UK is looming as well…

We’ll also be announcing some dates for elsewhere in the greater United Kingdom area very shortly… Hopefully it might sate the disgruntled messageboard… 🙂

The diary was slightly neglected over the tour, for which I’m sorry…

we’re flying tomorrow, which will almost certainly give rise to some sort of bizarre encounter or treatment from those in authority, so I’ll let you know how we get on… For those coming to the Berlin show, please spare a thought for your poor scottish friends, as they’ll have quite literally landed in the country 5 hours prior to going onstage, and their bodies will be telling them that it’s not actually gig-o-clock, it’s midday on the day after a sleepless night.

For those at LAX… we look forward to your horrific treatment tomorrow, and will be sure not to securely fasten any of our cases, to make it easier for you to annihlate our neatly-packed belongings, in search of semtex.

Europe should be great though… always a pleasure to go back. Can’t wait to hit a Bratwurst in Berlin. Marvellous.

anyway… time to take a wander down sunset boulevard to the venue… too many adverts on this street, if you ask me.
