Fearless Radio // Photos
August 24th, 2010 // by ShaunFearless Radio is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to stop through when we’re in Chicago. The people there are so great and we always have a great time. Here are some photos from our June 30th appearance. You can listen to the interview HERE, and you should because we are reeeeeaaaalllyy funny. Make sure you go check out Fearless Radio’s site and tune into their shows. They rule. Aaaannndd they are located in an old historic building that is in the processes of being renovated. It’s way cool with a old freight elevator, factory style doors, and a finished out rooftop with a breathtaking view of downtown Chicago. Very cool.
Ps. We performed 2 songs on air and I took some video of it. Look for that in an upcoming post.
The Windy City
August 23rd, 2010 // by ShaunIn light of us just being in Chicago… here are some images I took in Chicago when we passed through there during the end of June. We did an interview with Fearless Radio and then got the afternoon off to spend in downtown! Oh, and Taste of Chicago was happening… it was awesome.
The van blows a tire
July 29th, 2010 // by ShaunA few weeks ago we were on our way to play a show at Summerfest for the lovely people of Wisconsin when 30 minutes out from the fair grounds… BOOM.. the Washington blew a tire. We like tires, they take us where we need to go, so naturally we were pretty sad to see this one go. Oh, another tidbit of information you should know: we got out to get the spare tire from underneath the van and NO SPARE TIRE!! Crap. We called a few places and it looked like they we were going to have to leave the trailer on the side of the road while they came and towed the van which would mean that 1) our gear would be in serious danger on the side of the highway 2) we would for sure miss the Summerfest show. Our faithful tour manager, Jacob, said “NO WAY! I’m gonna kick this situation right in the groin!” And believe me… he did. Oh did he ever. Jacob got on the phone with a Sears in the area and sweet talked a super nice employee into coming out to the van on the side of the highway, taking the wheel with the blow tire and a few of us along with it back to the Sears auto store, having them put a new tire on the wheel, and then bringing it back out to us! Basically… Jacob is a ninja. Miraculously, this all went smoothly and according to plan. We got the new tire, made the show on time, rocked Wisconsin, and still don’t have a spare tire for the Washington. Situation normal.
It was pretty clear what happened.. Brandon got hungry:
As a slap in the face we were stranded on the side of the road right next to a Six Flags:
Brandon looks on at the cop who pulls over but does nothing to help:
A truck whizzes past us and we hear a butterfly smash on it’s windshield; Nick sheds one small tear:
The football became a popular road-side game:
Until Chris threw it over the fence and had to go get it; victoriously:
Our friends arrive back from Sears with the new tire mounted and ready to go:
Thank you, oh mysterious Sears employee.. we are forever indebted to you:
Victory:
The end.
