We’ve got Chris Constantinou (The Wolfmen, Adam and the Ants) playing flute on “Lou Weed”, and then the horn players from The Specials playing on “Godless” and “All the Money” at the London show on Sunday.
Sisters of Mercy were awesome last night. Andrew Eldritch marches around like a drill sergeant and sings like the coolest dude ever. Both of his guitarists are smokin too. Couldn’t get a great pic cuz they’re busy winning the award for most smoke machines. After the show Andrew assured me that they actually need more.
Here’s the bill for this festy. That’s Gang of Two on now. Then us. Then Sisters of Mercy.
I just woke up from three days in Amsterdam. Notice Motley Crue on this list? Tommy took a cab from here to Amsterdam to see our show and hang out for a couple days. Apparently it cost around 500 bucks. Love that guy.
Here is everything I’m traveling with for the next few days. Feels good. Very few possessions. Very head clearing. Probably impossible as a lifestyle.
Here is a list of the items. They’re kind of interesting. I mean that the combination/collection of items to comfortably travel/tour with is the interesting part. The spanish fan is probably the only individual item which is somewhat interesting in and of itself.
Spare T, Spare sleeveless T, socks, underwear, phone charger, mini pit stick, passport, europower adaptor, tour laminate, tourbook, moisturizer, sharpie, reading glasses, sunglasses, concealer, eye shadow, earplugs, gum, wallet, two black lighters, fan, mini toothbrush and paste, manpurse, scarf. Plus the clothes I’m wearing.
The thing I wasn’t prepared for is bicycling in the rain in Amsterdam.
The Dandys will be hanging out at Stumptown Coffee in Amsterdam at 2pm on Wednesday, playing some Portland tunes, drinking some Portland coffee. It’s free, come by.
