Tour Diary - Day 1 Asheville
Tour started off fairly well. We left about two hours behind schedule and we needed a jump after our first attempt to start the van once loaded in. Eventually we arrived at Bobo Gallery in Asheville, NC to play with the State Of (Miami) and Sugar Glyder (Charlotte). They were both incredibly talented groups! State of is a two piece girl band that use electronics and live drumming and Sugar Glyder is a rock band that sounded like a good mix of Anathallo and Minus the Bear. We love them both very much. Even though the night consisted of all touring bands the show went really well. The State Of will be in Atlanta on 10/30 and 11/1. The November 1st date is at Park Tavern, Please go check them out, they blew us away. After the show we tore through the mountains to a woodland retreat to make bologna and pimento sandwiches (see video below)!
