We create music because, in part, language imposes boundaries for self-articulation that music is not bound by. Unfortunately, tonight was far too greater reminder of this fact. Tonight made us feel closer than ever that we were not to say what was in our heads; thus providing the classic example that art is purely for the spectator. That is, it seems clearer to us than ever that it's impossible to present perfectly a thought that is in one's mind to a group of human beings. Is completion the perfection of human life? Perhaps the reason why our forerground has become so dull, is that we've managed to gain the vision we've always desired. television displays, depicts the visions that so many idle minds feel is the articulation of their thoughts. What then, if not to chase the articulation of one's troublesome thoughts? The artist actually creates a vision for the spectator; not for himself. Through his creation he's tried to articulate a vision for his thoughts, but he can only succeed in doing so for his audiance; thus his search tortures him, and therefore, that is why he can't share his audiance's happiness. Does the fact that we can see ourselves in the past (and as a whole), make us believe that we are more than we really are? The fragile matter that we actually are? NO!! I think it's our ability to create something beyond this fragile matter. Our ability to paint ourselves in the background of the foreground that appears to us so dull and mundane. We shall continue to chase this dilusional tale that will out-run us beyond this tour. That is what life is........We hope you can finish a sentence that has no ending......... martin.

slippery rock.

hello cleveland...

if we thought it was cold before then we know it's cold now... there is so much snow... wasn't too pleasant to drive through it lastnight looking for a motel but we got to one in the end somewhere around 3am. we've got a night off tonight which is kind of weird. the slippery rock show was interesting, we played a more slow paced set which seemed to go down well with the crowd, i think the acoustic live to air thing we did in the morning put us in that head space.. BRMC were amazing again lastnight... i don't think i could ever get tired of watching those guys. so anyways, we're just figuring out what we're going to do with our night off, we might hit a bar.. bowling has even been suggested, who knows. not sure where to go in cleveland.


on stage with peter... newport music hall columbus ohio.

Today...

so we're at the slippery rock university and we're about to play another show... we did a live to air acoustic performance on woxy.com yesterday which was a perfect way to start the day, followed by a not too long drive + an amazing show all round at the newport music hall in columbus. the lovely peter hayes (our new found hero...) joined us on stage and played some harmonica in surrender.. which was a lovely surprise. so far this has been the most amazing experience, the good times just keep on rolling... and our set is about to start so it's time to go... more later. aimee...

Chicago.

a quiet night at the kitty kat Klub.

well... it's saturday... no wednesday... just finished our show in snowy chicago at the metro. it's minus eleven here at the moment. our show in minneapolis went well last night and was followed by an unplanned acoustic performance by ourselves and mr. peter hayes (of BRMC). unfortunately, the duration of our acoustic set with peter was far longer than the actual set at the varsity. minneapolis was wonderful to us... playing with one of your favourite bands is not only inspiring but gratifying; no matter how little sleep we're getting, we couldn't imagine a better ride than the one we've just undertaken. thanks peter and thanks to all the BRMC guys. yours always with love, the morning after girls.

Denver C.O

First One from the Road...

okay... so here's the first post. we all made it in one piece excluding the usual airport issues when you walk through as a band, and it's 10.15 on a saturday night and i'm sitting here in the hotel. it's pretty damned cold here, so far we've ventured out downtown, had a meal & a few drinks together and here i am typing up our first little tour diary entry on tess's laptop. (introducing the lovely tess...our tour manager / photographer / friend / everything extraordire who's a great photographer but is tour managing for the first time so we can all be on the tour together and document of all of it on film. first show tomorrow night with brmc at the beautiful gothic theatre in denver. hm, not much to report on a first day i guess but here's to what's going to to be one hell of a tour.. signing off for now... aimee..
