music+food=true love may 2010 tour- joshua tree uber ales

gram parsons, U2 were right about this place. joshua tree truly feels like your on another planet in a doctor seuss book.

just a stones throw from joshua tree, pappy and harriet's pioneertown tavern is a popular stop for bands all across this great land of ours, from nyc to la people had told us how lucky we were to be playing here. this little desert oasis has awesome food and super friendly staff, can't wait to come back to the "best honky tonk west of the mississippi".

music+food=true love may 2010 tour- pie town usa

 roswell new mexico was a huge disappointment i did not see a single ufo or ufo shaped theme restaurant but pietown new mexico on the other hand was exactly as awesome as one would expect!

music+food=true love may 2010 tour- finally (west) texas pit bbq

this place rules

music+food=true love may 2010 tour- yes we actually played too

contrary to the lack of photos we have actually played a bunch of shows and made a bunch of rad new friends including the entire staff of the mohawk in austin and john wesley coleman III and orville who improv-ed some heavy skin bashing for us and all their friends. thanks rosa/wes/mohawk/austin!

gator tour 2010

the louisiana swamp tour was well worth it just to hear the guide's accent which sounded like french canadian with a southern drawl...shit i just had a brilliant idea, crawdad poutine!

camping at woodsy hollow in east texas totally reminded us of lakeside except you couldn't swim in the lake because of the gators! i'll stick with our beavers thanks

music+food=true love may 2010 tour- louisiana let the eating begin!

 due to the current ecological disaster, this might be end of fresh oysters on the gulf coast.

huge thanks to our hostess with the mostest celine, a true southern belle!

before and after 10 lbs. of boiled crawdad...

music+food=true love may 2010 tour- memphis graceland here we come

the princess and the king

 joyeux cinqo de mayo, unfortunately they haven't heard of margevezas in memphis yet

music+food=true love may 2010 tour- nashville is sinking

nashville got hit by the worst rainstorm it's had in 60 years the day before we got there. our friends and hosts david and lauren vandervelde were in pretty good spirits by the time we rolled in considering they'd spent the previous two days cleaning rainwater and mud out of their basement.

apparently only white suv's were allowed to be abandoned on the flooded downtown streets...

It was awesome having you guys up and on tape. You all did great. This record just keeps getting better. I suppose if we keep working on the thing, some day it will be better than Sgt Pepper's.

Damn,... Settle in for a long ride, baby.

Time for my egg sandwich,
