tour-o-blog:

Day 5 - 12:45 pm. We’re on the wind-down. Amazing to think that we’re closing up shop on this little tour and don’t have the desire to simultaneously strangle the life out of each other. Maybe this whole thing will work after all. Then again, we do still have one more show tonight, so maybe this assumption is a little premature.  

After last night’s show in DC we could easily just retire from music altogether without all the violence and squeezing and flailing. Office of Future plans flat out demolished the DC9. Shame cause it was such an awesome club. I’m sure some monument to the show will be erected from the ashes.  

We are privileged enough to get our grubby little hands on an advanced copy of the album and, just based on what we heard last night, you may not want to talk to us for a while if you don’t want to constantly hear us gushing about it. But, you know, just in case you were looking for the greatest thing that’s ever existed in the world, this is sure to be it. They also could not have been more accommodating and full of things to say that I’m already having etched into my tombstone. We really can not turn around and get back up here fast enough to impose ourselves on these guys some more.  

We’re on the road to our final show at Motorco in Durham, NC tonight with Joe Hall (of Hammer No More The Fingers). If all the shows that have lead up to it have set a precedence, then the venue is sure to be entirely constructed from flights and flights of endless staircases that we have to load in on while concurrently playing our set and loading out. Seriously, by the time we return home, it’ll be like we just got released off a five-year prison sentence; all ripped and book smart. But don’t worry ladies, we’ve balanced it out nicely with not actually reading books and only eating fries doused in gravy and cheese. It’s always been our pledge to be as un-intimidating as possible.

These guys are too nice, and seriously rocked DC9 in their own right. We are thrilled to have had the chance to play with them, and hope to do so again in the near future! Make sure to check out their debut album, produced by our own J. Robbins, and featuring Gordon’s cello on a couple tracks.

Wishing The Pauses best of luck as they wind down their “Come on Irene” tour!
