And tomorrow there might even be a new radio show – wrecklessericradio.com

We’re playing one of the last shows at Maxwells this Tuesday, opening for Ian Hunter & The Rant Band. It’s completely sold out but you might be able to climb in through the toilet window. And we’re playing with Ian again on July 11th  in Wilmington, Delaware.

Tales from the touring front

We shared the night at The Lovin’ Cup in Rochester last night with a beer tasting shindig and it wasn’t a good co-bill.

We’ve been on this tour for so long that the soles of my boots have finally worn through. I’ve been wearing the same pair, an old pair of Blunstones that were already a bit worn out, since we started at the end of August last year.

Liverpool and Holt are last minute additions just to make sure we’re thoroughly worn out in time for Easter which we’re planning to spend on the South Coast getting thoroughly worn out by my family before we fly home. If I can find a music shop that sells the right guitar strings for me and a good shoe repairer I’ll be a happy man.
