It started over a month ago with the most marvelous of DFW experiences, never could i imagine that the tour would actually get better than that...it did. with the welcome addition of my dear friend (now hip hop husband) bleubird, harpoon larry and I managed to have the best tour of our lives (so far)! It started with a wedding and ended with...well...you will see what it ended with on friday when Boyfriends INC (my new group with bleubird) make their grand debut on the world! a few people have gotten a sneak peak of this and some of the responses have been:
"i think i peed a little"
"i wish they could tattoo [that] on people...because i would get that on my butt!"
"THIS MAKES ME HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS!"
"that is the reason swayze invented bandwidth!"
so...the response has been good. i can say with some certainty...if we do half the things we are planning on doing...we will cure cancer, aids, AND Jim Henson's disease this weekend. That isn't just a promise...that is a threat! WE'RE COMIN' FOR YOU MALE BREAST CANCER!!!! We're gonna need new dicks for SURE once this shit hits the fan!
On top of THAT bit of exciting news...i got a show in JACKSONVILLE, FLA this weekend:
ASTRONAUTALIS + RICHARD LOVE (ex Julius Airwave and Rickolus)
11/29 @ Eclipse
4219 Saint Johns Ave.
Jacksonville, Florida 32210
US
$8 (under) $5 (for over 21)
this is rick's new project of pop music beauty...i am really loving what he is doing with these songs. It is all the pop of Julius Airwave plus the beautiful arrangement and songwriting of the Rickolus stuff. RIck is really hitting his stride here...don't miss this good old jacksonville time! expect me to go on at 10pm sharp! Dancing to follow!
AS IF THAT AIN'T ENOUGH...I GOT SHOWS THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER IN TEXAS WITH THE PAPERCHASE!!!!
12/07 @ Warhol
San Antonio, Texas
12/05 @ Elysium
Austin, Texas
12/04 @ Monk's
Abilene, Texas
I am the most excited about the Austin show...so i can watch the fine folks from PartyEnds lose their minds...they have been begging the gods above for this show to come together for years. No other pair of folks was more excited when i announced that i was working with the Paperchase for Pomegranate...now it is all coming together at a Goth club in Austin...they may just vaporize in bliss.
This is all rather exciting indeed...but the golden ring on my horizon is THIS beautiful fact:
I AM GOING ON TOUR IN EUROPE IN FEBRUARY!
shows are coming together left and right and right now we are looking at confirmed shows in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, France, Denmark...with more to come in all corners! We are always looking for more...so if you know of a great place to play in any other country (especially the UK)...let us know! I am so excited to get across the pond for the first time and meet so many of you wonderful people who have been giving a damn about me and my music for so long! Keep posted for more news on that front!
Before i shove off to walk on the beach (yup...i am in JAX! {till dec 3rd!}) i want to leave you with two things:
1. In addition to Richard Love...you NEED to listen to these 3 artists:
Jenn Gooch
This denton native (who...somehow i have never met) played with us in Pittsburgh, then let us drink her whiskey, crash on her couches, and even got up early to make us ginger pancakes! Everyone should listen to the song, "Jonestown Koolaid" (it has become one of my favorite songs of the year) and then take notes on how to play host to 3 touring jerks! Jenn is the bee's knees in all categories...i am glad to have met her.
Hot Chicken
This Richmond, VA supergroup opened up for us at the Czar and totally stole the show! It was like watching Goodie Mob play in their hometown before they all got rich and face lifts. Start with "David Bowie Eyes"...shit is bananas. I really hope they don't stop working on this project...it is the best new thing i have heard done with hip hop in a while. Plus...i am always a sucker for large groups of people singing at once.
2013 Wolves
Post Apocalyptic Southern Metal Hymns?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?
These two guys put on one of the best shows around and their recorded music is no god-damned joke either! you can find them playing all the time at their night club, The Milestone in Charlotte, NC...you must see them live before you die...in that club. Not only is that club one of the best dives in America (possibly one of the most historic now that CBGB's is gone...peep the Bad Brains tags!) but these dudes are some of the best guys around and easily the most incredible 2 Man Post Apocalyptic Southern Metal Choir I have ever seen!
(check out "holy trinity" to hear how amazing they are live...just two dudes.)
AMEN!
2. the following is a list of inside jokes and quotes from this last tour, you may not know what they mean...but as a collection, i think they are able to stand strong...even without definition:
Jim Henson's disease, coke moat tigers, "i've been in love with you since, 'you and yer good ideas'!", you may touch teeth, "what does the word "shit boner" mean to you?", ALERT!, loan me $50, "want to go down to the rape dungeon to see where that cat shit on a t-shirt?", new dicks, BTS, HBSC, "i think all of these babies are on meth?", sneak out the window, OLÉ!, its touching my lung, "we thought it would be funny to go watch Mad Happy...it backfired.", boring ass nazi, Palin/Putin 2012, sweat on me, "I am gonna go fuck this dude...see y'all tomorrow!", ALERT!, Fort Scuntch, "i think i am going to take it easy tonight", 1 for obama-2 for mccain-come on y'all lets RACE WAR!, Big Pun's disease, "rick ross just got punched by a red bumble bee", you sad old man, plow me, "your friends must really love taz!", jacques bruna...american, you girls here for the star wars convention?, "he came in the elevator...while i was trying to come in the elevator", dangle your feet off the edge of my clitorus and fish all day like you haven't got a car in the world, hitler fucked A LOT of tigers, ALERT!, "i have never had my dick grabbed by so many strangers at once!", the road ain't no place to start a family, "i have never seen a father sing so lovingly to his son...it was creepy", what is your BEAUTIFUL child's name?, its pirating my new album, shitler, Freddy Mercury's disease, i am rarely proud, the ol' devil's advocate, "i was already planning out my knee snaps and throat chops", bangover, "i'm having a whale of a good time", gay without fucking, cougar prey, clean your plate motherFRIENDSHIP!, "if there were no animals, dancers, magicians, or jugglers...they would have totally won the talent show"...
there are more...i just can't recall them all. i will talk to harpoon larry and bird and get it all together. check back for updates...hahaha.
