Lifehouse comes off the road

Posted on 17 May 2008 | 4:30 am

Lifehouse has just wrapped up a HUGE run of tour dates. According to this e-mail from Bryce they’re all going to enjoy a little R&R for the next few weeks. But, don’t worry they’ve got another set of tour dates coming soon.

We are all back in LA now with a few weeks to relax and come down from the 3 months of buses, flights, fans, hotel rooms, interviews, sold out shows and adrenaline rushes… etc. Hollywood: Our rock and roll rehab. Our last show of this leg was in Puerto Rico. It started off as a Dodge convention but somehow evolved to being one of the most intense arena rock shows of our lives. The convention had 22 thousand texts from fans trying to win free tickets; I think we wound up playing for most of them. Some girl was so excited she was pulling the cables out of my pedal board. I apologize to her for my bass tech trying to stomp on her fingers. The show must go on

Another highlight was Montreal. Having lived there I recommended that management upgrade to the Metropolis after we sold out Club soda (a 900 seat club) in 3 days. The 3000 French Canadians went Bananas all night. Since most of us were sick, the guys got in a car to the hotel right after we finished the last song. I stayed to hang with some friends and the crowd refused to leave and chanted “Everything! Everything!” In thick accents for 20 minutes, stomping on the floor and throwing shit while the crew tore down the stage. We promise to play that song again. Promise! Tabernac!

I slept for like 14 hours in my own bed last night, being the last one home. I went to the folks’ house immediately after the tour to surprise the mother for mom’s day and hang with my high school buddies for our 10 year reunion. Can’t believe it’s been that long. We partied like it was 1998.
Now I recoup
ZZZZ

Getting to know Leeland

Posted on 15 May 2008 | 2:30 pm

A few years ago I received a 12″ vinyl record in the mail for a band called Leeland.
