(Seeing as how the random guy we got to shoot this was probably well inebriated at the time, this is probably as accurate a representation of how he saw us as there ever will be. Photographer unknown, courtesy of Mojave.)
As always when the blog goes silent for more than a week or two, readership starts to slump and our more dedicated fans begin to wonder what the hell is up. Never being one to join the real world and get real jobs, the only other explanation likely involves partying, some form of musical creativity and consuming unsafe levels of alcohol. And whaddaya know, that's exactly what happened this time.
Some of you may recall my review of a band called Mojave back in February. Well, somehow through the magic of Twitter, I caught wind they were looking for a drummer and long story short, I'm now a session player with them whenever our wacky schedules allow. On the weekend of the 20th, I joined them on a mini-tour to play two shows in Grande Prairie, AB and got to know Paul and LJ in all sorts of weird ways over the 30+ hours we spent in a car together. You can read about all the insanity on Mojave's blog about our Albertan adventure. (I even got inked while I was there!)
Between the tour itself and getting ready for the shows, the blog has had to sit back and relax, but not for much longer. In July, photographer Shandra and writer Sylvia are going to fly with Eagles of Death Metal, I'll be investigating the hazards of love with The Decemberists and on top of all that, summer always brings about endless music festivals. Pearce will go back to churning out album reviews too, so don't you fret. Your music fix is coming back and it's comin' with a vengeance.
