Homeless at home...

A couple days off has led us back to nashville for a night of good sleep...Not without a flat tire in Louisville at 3:00 AM. That was an experience. If only my camera hadn't been out of battery...sigh. I got the charger last night. Pics to come...I promise you.

Muncie, IN

Muncie indiana we a success,
Good turnout, nice record sales. Nice people. Nice sound. Kevin and Luke and I heard from someone that there was a site somewhere on the net where you could see a man being fucked by a horse and spent an hour after the show trying to find it. (to no avail)
Cincinatti tonight. I heard it's a gay bar. I really have no idea. I hope so.

Well, A new day begins

I'm writing from Evansville, IN listening to a stream of the new Sigur Ros Album "Takk"
After three and a half years of absolute fun at cafe coco, I've quit to tour full time with Thornton. I've had such a blast there. It's really be life-shaping. I started working their when I was 19, a few months after moving out of my parents house for the first time. I just turned 23 and in a lot of ways I'm a different person with some similar personality traits. I feel really good about most of the last 4 years.
As far as touring goes, we're just on day two of our first big tour. So far I can say that everything's been a blast, but we'll see what comes. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to make a neato tour documentary this time, 'cause my manual film camera bit the dust. Also, I didn't want to lug a bulky camera around for a month and then pay for developing a month of film. I wanted a really small digital camera, but the ones I was looking at cost like $450. I just could bring myself to pay for that. There was a $300 model that I was considering, but still so much money.
Anyway last night a fella I know who owned one of the $500 models came out to the show. He had gotten the camera new for free a few months ago through a series of very fortunate twists and turns and sold it to me last night for $200. So I'm a picture taking fool once more.
Once I get the rest of the hardware from him, I'll be posting the pictures on the thornton website (probably not here) daily, so you can see what happened the night before. We're gonna swing through nashville in about a week at which point all of this will take effect.
See you soon somewhere in America. For more information about any of our shows go to ThorntonMusic.com

Tour Enocumentary.

Just back from our most recent tour, I've put together another photo documentary of the event. Some of the picture were shot on my decent camera and some on a disposable. Hopefully we captured the vibe of the experience. Enjoy!

Freshly screen Printed Merch...

Two days before the official start of our 9 day stint, we had a show in louisville at a really awesome club called headliners. It's a really awesome place. The lights are super cool, the room is HUGE, it's got a balcony, and all around, a cool vibe.







A really great band we've played with a few times now called The October



Another band on the bill: The Hawk


Two days later, back in Louisville. The "official" start of our tour at Uncle Pleasants.


A couple of good friend, Ryan and Ben came up for the show.



Jamie Barnes, the opener of the night played a really great set with a friend of his. Jamie was also kind enough to put us up for the night.



The Photographic, a post-rock instrumental duo headlined the night.


Next it was on to bowling green KY. Spencers Coffee shop, where our friends Death Comesto Matteson played the week before and Imaginary Baseball League played the week after. Here are luke and me, talking about something undoubtedly very unimportant.


Kevin looking very strange.


After the show heading to evansville, IN to sleep. Chatting with God knows who...


Is luke sleeping or blinking?


Drive you motherfucker, drive.


Here we are at rebeccas house, where we spent the night before our springfield, IL show. For some reason I look like I'm up to no good in this picture.


The venue in Springfield, IL was strange to say the least. It's mostly a jazz club and it's located on the 30th floor of a hilton hotel. We adjusted our velocity and went over very well with the crowd, and it ended up being really fun.


A couple Springfieldians Tenika and Macie, who have been to every one of our shows.


This is an insane homeless man who was hanging out at the taco shop. Look into his eyes. You can see the insanity.


And here he is making our friend Becca very uncomfortable.


So, back at the Hilton hotel...They were nice enough to give us a room and breakfast for free. Kevin and I shared a bed and I woke up in the middle of the night rubbing his stomach. No joke. It was interesting.


Well, I really didn't want to get up.


Luke and Kevin decided since we were in a hotel we need to trash the room. I was trying to stop luke from kicking in the TV screen when kevin shot this picture.


Oh, but Kevin had to be involved too! Here he is pissing in the room, evidently to smashed to realize he was pissing on our equipment.


Hopeless. Needless to say, we won't be staying in the Hilton again.


Hangin in the van.


My Face always ends up on the last photo of a roll of film. (note last page of our album liner.)


Our entertainment.


Chicago! Here we are hanging out before our show at the Beat Kitchen.



Thanks to The Lavellas for opening the show.


Airiel, a dream pop band from Chicago healined the show and put on a cool set in the vein of MBV, and Ride.


Next day, we had no show and hung out in Chicago.



Luke and Kevin decided to play chess in their minds. It seems like to much mental strain.


Well, you see the day we left it got hot as hell. I didn't have my "hot as hell" shirts with me, so I ended up cutting up all the ones I did bring. No, I don't have armpit hair.


Luke hangin on Holly's cool deck.


Some one decided to have a cookout and we nominated Luke to be in charge of preparing the coals. It was really strange 'cause he just put the coals in the and then used the force to ignite them.


Luke and Holly grillin the shit out of some foods.


Luke probably half wine-drunk.


Heading out of Chicago on our way to Fort Wayne. It doesn't get much flatter than this.


I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to tak pictures of Kevin and Lukes hairy manly chests.



Set up at columbia st. west in fort wayne, IN.



Where the magic happens.


Kevin reading a note from my mom when we arrived at my parents house late tuesday night.


I don't know if K likes this picture.


I would say going to coffee shops is our favorite thing to do while on tour.


We don't eat out for health and budget purposes. The grocery store deli is very popular for our lunches.


Walking around Indy before our show at Melody Inn.


Every starbucks we went to we would all try to guilt the others into buying the coldplay album. None of us wanted to spend the money.


One of the bands we played with in Indy, from cincinnatti called 500 miles to Memphis.


Another band called lines of Nazca.



Luke!


Me!


The picture you've all been waiting for! Well, you know sometimes you're staying at your bandmates parents house and decide it'd be a good idea to photograph yourself naked in the bathroom mirror.


I only ended up shooting one picture in Dayton ohio. This was a cool little street we hung out on.


After our show in Dayton we drove to columbus, OH to stay with some friends of kevins before out show there the next day. On the way I chewed a carrot into the strangest form

In the kitchen, eating some chili at 4 in the morning.


There were some cool-ass instruments in this house.



Loading our equipment out of their house for the show in columbus, here I am being rude.


This is a true story. Luke, while in dayton lost his sunglasses. We looked and looked all over the venue and the van and couldn't find them. We ended up simply giving up and heading out of town. The following day as we came out to the van to leave the house in COLUMBUS luke said, "God, let me find my sunglasses". His eye immediately fell upon his sunglasses which we SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUCKING VAN! How in the hell, I don't know. The stayed there on the 3 hour trip from Dayton? Anyway, instantly luke lost his mind and I snapped this photo. Additionally, Kevin dropped to his knees and repented the the lord for everything he'd ever said about spiritual matters.


Kevin in his new found and columbus purchased hat.


Kevin. Metal.


We went into a really cool record shop in Columbus called used kids. Here's kevin listening to a police record which we ended up buying.



The venue booker in Columbus somehow was RETARDED and couldn't tell the difference between the band he was booking and the name of the fella IN the band who was contacting him about booking. Needless to say we were shocked to show up at the venue and find that the band ENOCH was playing.


Heading out of town towards Nashville.


Sweating it out in the heat.


Well you see, on I-65 there's this t-rex.


Kevin was quite alarmed


Luke didn't care.
