Coming To America

Right now this is all I got. I am super stoked to get back home. It has been amazing playing over here. A big thanks to these countries welcoming us with amazing support. Even Reading and Leeds. So what if you threw stuff at us. That shit was fun!

P.S. If you have never seen the movie Coming To America starring none other than Eddie Murphy... What the hell is your problem!?

Quote of the Day

We just played some festival in Germany and when we were walking back to our dressing room from the stage the security guard said in his German trying to speak English voice..

Security Guard: "Ah you're exhausted but satisfied!"
Mike Retondo: "That's what she said!"

HAHAHAHA!!!!!

Leeds

The thing about festivals over here in Europe is that they can be very muddy. So this is a picture of me wearing what the Brits call "Wellies" or Wellington boots. They for sure came in handy. Leeds was awesome even though we got stuff thrown at us on stage. Good times. More pics to come soon from Reading. Did you know that we got to play with Metallica? It was weird.



P.S. I hate pictures of myself.

Lollapalooza 08'

YEAH!

Sigur Ros

The past couple days we played festivals with Sigur Ros. Totally a band I honestly have never gotten into but everyone always says they are amazing live. Well everyone who told me that was 100% right. It was amazing. Tried to take a good amount of pictures but they all pretty much look the same. Here you go Nick.

Rainbow in the sky

Yesterday in Copenhagen I saw a rainbow. How often do you see rainbows? NEVER!

Natural Disaster video shoot

What about I almost forgot about the video for Natural Disaster that we just made. That's pretty ridiculous. Anyways we made a video. There were seriously like 90 people involved. We shot it in this warehouse in downtown LA and what was really messed up is that there were 90 people which most of them had to use the bathroom especially after lunch who weren't able to because all 5 bathrooms were messed up. It sucked. It was fun making the video. We worked with Shane Drake. He made our last video. Anyways I don't have many pictures but here are 3. I can't wait to see this video when it's done. We've never done anything like this before. It will be interesting to see how it comes out.


Oh yeah people got towed because they weren't supposed to park there because of the shoot. I found it entertaining. People we're getting upset which is retarded because there was a sign there for 2 days straight.

Party.

Tom is back there somewhere walking down the "alley"

I know super super super interesting.

No Way

Today we're in Stockholm, Sweden. I am so exhausted. Flying from LA to London to here is crazy. I feel really confused. Sweden is pretty sweet. In my time of pure exhaustion I went out walking around the streets of Stockholm. I was hoping to find our most beloved American coffee shop Starbucks only to find out that there is no existence of Starbucks in Sweden. I couldn't at all be mad about it. I kinda made me laugh. I think its the coolest thing actually. I AM SO DELIRIOUS!

Mud Sucks

That is my drum tech and that was the stage we played today in Crown Point, IN. Pretty sweet right?

This is what the mud did to our dressing room.

Anyways besides that nonsense its Lollapalooza weekend. So far it's pretty awesome. Im really happy that I'm home and I get to experience it. Lots of friends in town. Lots of good hangs.
