“The Referee”
Thursday, October 27th, 2005News is what you want so that is what I will write.
Our tour is completely booked. People ask us to play more shows here or there, and I just tell them, “No more shows! Our addled bodies have to rest at some point!” Then they try to lure Sky Pilots with money and women, but it’s of no use.
A few tour notes: The Brain Surgeons/Sky Pilots/Remote Islands show in Philly is at a small bar so it will sell out. Get there early. Not sure what the deal is with advance sales.
And the Sky Pilots/Appletown Gun Shop show at Wesleyan is for students only. So if the NYCers need a second dose, it will be administered an hour away in New Jersey, at the Brighton Bar on November 12. We will be coordinating some caravan/lodging scheme that night.
Back at Sky Pilots Central Command, we’re screening our album covers. All I can say about the process is that I’m glad it will be done, although it has given Mike and me a chance to spend some quality time together. They’ll be available for $8 a pop at the Sky Pilots party on November 3rd at The Knockout.
This is perhaps the last update until we hit the road. Expect some tour updates every few days, including some good play-by-play from drummer Bill “The Referee” French. And I’ll try to post headlines from the local paper in each town, as well as restaurant reviews. Mike will be bringing you reports on the weather and traffic conditions.
