OOPS!

I have been informed on this day of a most egregious omission from my list of people to thank from the first half of tour. Carly and Brandon, thanks for your time hanging and for sharing with us your fine home and foodstuffs in El Cleve-O(the first day of the tour no less). And for your cool dog, whose name has escaped me.

In light of this, I must extend my apologies and thanks to anyone else who i may have forgotten to include!

Road Update!

We got to Austin this morning at about 6:00 am today, and it's HOT, as expected. Since we left Tennessee for Texas, the highs have been in the range of 108/109 degrees. There's no A.C. in Vantasia, so we're sweating our butts away. Tonight we'll be playing here in Austin at Beauty Bar with our bros Boyfrndz.

The tour so far has been radical. Thanks to everyone! ...at Tower 2012(Locktender, South Reach, Humbert Humbert, Sean, Alex, etc.), Monster House(Reverse the Curse, Underdogs of Nipomo, Inky Skulls, Jon, Andy[we stole him], etc.). Southgate House(Vacation, Knife the Symphony, Chase, Mr. Wolary, Mr. Dickson, etc.), Baba Budan's(Shearing Pinx, Pillowbiter, Public Housing, Bridget for adding us so last minute!, Peyton our new favorite bartender and all around dude, Jon W., and once again Mr. Wolary and Mr. Dickson)(also, Thanks to Faith and Matt and Susan and little Cordelia for putting up with us for 3 days again), The Two Towers(Gnarwhal, Nameless Cults and all the householders, Jesse and Shibby and Evan), The Frame(JJ and housemates, Gnarwhal, Conestyle, Sin City Scoundrels, Ethan for letting us crash and showing us a rad kung fu flick, The travelling Nashville Crew), Denton house party(Leo and Innards, and Tommy for the place to crash, folks at the house, all the partyers), John's Warehouse in Houston(John, B L A C K I E, Lisas sons, LIMB, Link and Zelda[more cool dogs], so many friendly people).

2 MONTH + US TOUR August 19 - November ??

Look out for some ridiculously awesome shows in PITTSBURGH this summer, since everybody is always touring and we'll get some good ones here.

our first blog.

The other day i fought a monster called alpha-blogg. It was underwater but luckily i was wearing a power suit that allows me to breathe underwater and move as if i was not underwater. Little did i know that there are also these things on the interweb called "blogs". After searching the wiki database of truth and immaculate speculation,I discovered that in ancient times the word was "weblog" but our dumb speech abilities made it shorten to "blog". I decided to make one! Come back to this "blog" to find out what's goin' on with edhochuli, the band from Pittsburgh. We will update it regularly and sometimes semi-regularly and sometimes not in a regular fashion at all! What's up wit dat? Just remember that when we are irregular about it that we still love you, provided we loved you before this.

Love,
edhochuli
