Not The Government
Patsy
Shoot For The Stars And Kill Them
The first time "Suicide Is Illegal" was ever publicly performed: The Limits Of Desire / Suicide Is Illegal / City Of The New Species / Brainwash The Tiger / Seeing Is Not Believing / After The Before / Alder Dreese
True rock stars Patsy were invited to open the show, but showed up 2 hours after they were supposed to play with awesome hair dos, and stories of being pulled over. When asked to begin playing upon arrival, they refused in favor of some time to unwind from the stressful drive up from san antonio. After all the other bands they finally did play, but the owner of the club asked them to stop half way through their set, commenting that he wasn't into "that weird shit". The club owner later refused to pay them, and we agreed to pay them out of our cut, but were unable to, due to their hasty departure after an attempt on their part to ditch a friend of theirs at our after party who had reached an intolerable state of intoxication. thanks Patsy. oh and by the way Patsy, congratulations on fitting the head of that giant wooden dildo sculpture into your mouth.

AM Syndicate (austin)
Big Soy
Fin Del Mar
Not The GovernmentWhile walking to a get some Dr. Pepper Wilton found a huge abandoned duffel bag behind a gas station loaded with weird, dirty toys and doll underwear, basically a child-molester's starter kit. During Big Soy's last song we broke them all out and distributed them to the audience and threw them everywhere as Wilton, Tyler, and Brian helped Big Soy get as much feedback possible out of their amps. Oh and the sound guy tried to fight Brian. That guy was a dick and everyone hated him: Cadaver Party / Red Wire / Alder Dreese / Limits of Desire / I Don't Care If They Never Learn / It's Your Fault You're Ugly / After The Before

Beethoven's Mannechor (422 Pereida St. San Antonio, TX)
Buttercup (CD release!)
Hyperbubble
Not The GovernmentWhile this was a great show and we got a good response, there were still plenty of people who found us simply too loud inside the typically quiet German beer garden. Myriam, from behind the merch table in the back of the room, saw numerous people shout to their friends "It's too loud! Let's go outside!"

Downtown Riot (202 East Main, Alice, TX)
Communal Death Duck (Alice)
Narwhals
Not The Government
Spineless Little WormsWe never made it to this show due to an overheating van. After hanging out for a while on the access road in the middle of nowhere, we realized that even though the van had cooled down, it wasn't going to get us to Alice, let alone back to San Antonio. So Tyler, Kelly, Wilton, and Tone raced back to San Antonio in Kelly's reliable car to get Brian's truck while Zach, Jay, and Brian stayed behind and waitied for them to return. While waiting they got completely naked and wondered around the wilderness alongside I-37 and drank whiskey. So, we made the best of it.

Gordo's (120 E San Antonio St., San Marcos, TX )
Muldoon, This Will Destroy You, Mechanical Boy, The December Drive, Not The Government
Lawrence from Muldoon borrowed the doorman's tennis ball and promised not to lose it. Jay then bounced it onto the roof of the two-story club. Sorry, doorman. Wilton stole a potted plant from a liquor store and presented it as a house warming gift at the afterparty. After Muldoon started hitting on us we decided to leave, but not before Jay hid the doorknob to the front door in the refrigerator.

House Of Rock (511 Starr St, Corpus Christi, TX)
Muldoon, Mechanical Boy, The December Drive, Not The Government, This Will Destroy You.
Zach's friend Curtis was kind enough to put us up for the night and entertained us with stories beyond belief, like the time he fell from a cliff, broke his back and neck but managed to crawl to an animal hospital where portions of his flesh were replaced with dog skin. Then we jumped on his trampoline til sunrise.

Wiggle Room (2301. S. Presa)
Muldoon, Mechanical Boy, The December Drive, Not The Government, This Will Destroy You.
The first night of our mini-tour trilogy started off with a bang as bewildered onlookers attempted in vain to understand how Jay could play all our songs one handed (the other hand was broken).

Mix (2423 N Saint Mary's)
Fin Del Mar, Not The Government
We had to wait until the spurs game was over until we could set up for annoyed basketball fans. Joey watched our set through the window on the outside front sidewalk since he is under age. Yvonne kept him company. These are true friends. This was also the first time "City Of The New Species" was performed live.
