Four shows across four months isn't really a tour, is it?

Yes, you can have 2 shows in 2 places and call it a tour if u want. Lol! The fact is we're both working fulltime and have a very limited budget.  We dont have unlimited vacation days or fund$ to tour at length. Hence the need for our kickstarter fundraiser.

In the innitial post we said we'd be announcing more dates, they're coming. smile

Note: A concert tour is a series of concerts by a musician, musical group, or some number of either in different cities or locations. Especially in the popular music world, such tours can become large-scale enterprises that last for several months

We havent played in Tejas in years, we'll see!

Why is it chip-awesomeness is just spewing all over Portland lately?  Not questioning it... just loving it.  I haven't heard anything about Micropalooza though...

I don't mean to sound a dick by laughing, I just can't help but look back at all the dirty ass tours I've done all over the US in barely-working vehicles and all the thousands of dollars of my own money I've spent playing music over the last 8 years or so.

That being said, let me know if you want to play in Nashville sometime. We'll treat you right and make some party.

We've been touring since 2002, so we have blown a lot of cash on our tours over the years with no hope of recovery. But we cant afford to throw it away and go deep into debt like we used to. Also people are getting something for their donation, its not like a one way street. They get stuff they actually want. We're just happy that our fans support us and what we're doing. smile
