Ghastly City Sleep Summer 2011 Tour

I'll be writing here as we make our way across the country!

7.8.2011

Ghastly City Sleep (Brooklyn, NY)

We are officially embarking on our 3rd full U.S. tour. Today was hectic and crazy…
Our Prophet 600 vintage synthesizer decided to stop working last night at the end of our last practice before tour. We struggled to find a quick solution, but not until the morning of our first show did we land on one. Brandon has adapted most of his Prophet synth parts to a Korg MS2000 we'll be bringing along with us. It's not the ideal solution, but at least we're not completely derailed, and the show must go on!

We played our send-off show in Greenpoint, Brooklyn at Coco 66. I'd like to send shout-outs to all our friends who came out, and those of you who helped put this tour together, lending your time, love, and expertise. Thank you, thank you thankyou! !! !!! !!!! (thank you thank you).
The show was lots of fun, & for you geeks out there we did play some new material…
Set:
1. I Never Left my Head
2. Farewell My Friend
3. Looming
4. 33 Leagues
5. Being, or What You Will
6. Billowing

For anyone paying this much attention, we did change the ending of "Being" around a bit - - - ;)

Evan Mitchell (Oh No! and the Tiger Pit, Industries for the Blind) joined us a couple months ago and is now toting a brand new drum kit - a beautiful 1970 Slingerland 3pc - he's sounding really smart on stage…


Hurdling over an endless stream of obstacles… america, here we come again!
