Picture of my day

House of Lords and Ed the tour manager infront of a Brighton sunset.
Lovely way to start a tour. Tried 4 new songs last night and I have to
say they did seem to really work. *smug grin*

Hooray for nobs

Picture of the day actually from hong kong but I'm only just starting

Bloglessness

I can't do blogs on Sundays. "Yes I'm having a lovely relaxing day, we had sausages and I played Ollie's drums with some kids in the studio." But there is this tour coming up so I'm gonna do a blog EVERYDAY on the tour, whether something good happens or not. Also I' think we need a picture of the day. I wanted to put one up of my pregnant wife but she hated the idea.

Chinese expedition

I'm in China, Beijing to be precise. The gigs start tomorrow so we have had today and a bit of yesterday to do the full tourist thing. Yes, we did go to the great wall, it's massive. We walked a mile or so of the wall and did an incredibly steep bit. On our way down after the reasonably frightening cable car there is a run of stalls selling what I like to call "Toot". The toot sales people are quite aggressive and you have to slalom them down a small alley. Thomas wasn't very good at saying no and was stopped by pretty much every seller. There are a couple of photos on our photobucket

Shows

Yes, we are working here as well as having a ball. The Sao Paulo show was great, I never thought we would put 300 people in a room in Brasil, but we did. Johnny Flynn is doing solo stuff in support and he was really good, he is just such a frikkin' good guitar player it makes me want to cry.

Last night was the Buenos Aires show at 2.30 am. Holy moly that is a late one. Luckily the crowd are like the Spanish crowds and only finished their tea at 1am so were just warming up nicely when we went on. The reception for us and Johnny was amazing, just a really friendly bunch of people. It was really busy and we got treated like kings. The meat here is just the nuts by the way. If you want a cheap and awesome trip then I would recommend this city. Listen to me, I'm like Bill Bryson.

Motley Cru are in the hotel, fuck yeah! I saw Vince Neal last night and we had a set to on the steps of the hotel. Suffice it to say I kicked his ass. Unfortunately they are on tonight and we are off to Chile today, I would have liked to have seen that.

Funny story

Just remembered. We did a session for some Brazilian tv thing yesterday and they brought a double bass for House of Lords. I did a bit of wee at the look on his face and his subsequent efforts to play it.
