El Cid

It was crazy day in LA. We had an interview with folks at Rock Remedy in which we had a sit-down type of question/answer session, then we played 5 songs as they filmed us. Say what you will about how we'll look on camera...but I think it came out alright. At the very least, we now have something to put up on Myspace/Facebook/Scotlandbarr.com that involves something more than sound.

We then took a couple hours to chill out (the day was already long, having driven from San Diego that morning) at Chris's brother's house (Eli). We got a chance to catch up on random things - mostly sleep - and to recharge a bit. After that, we had another filmed interview with Hollywood Premiers at El Cid. This interview was a bit easier and more fun...which likely had more to do with the fact that it wasn't in the AM than anything else.

Finding ourselves hungry, we spent a bajillion dollars on sushi from a joint we came across on Sunset. Feeling satiated, we retreated back to El Cid to prep for our show. El Cid is one of the coolest clubs I've ever been in. For Portlander's, it's like Dante's, except smaller and slightly more formal.

Ronnie Mack's Barndance is an institution here in LA, and it is to our great honor that we were able to play it. It's a whirlwind of a situation, in that you only get a small alotted amount of time and you basically have to use their equpiment (amps/drums/etc). Still, we had a great show, were received really well, and even sold a few CDs. It was the funnest show for me so far on tour.

Today, we are off for a KOA near Flagstaff which is about 400+ miles away. No show tonight, but we'll be exhausted nonetheless. We'll have the morning and afternoon to ourselves to go see the Grand Canyon and try not to fall in (or drive in, as it were). It will be a pleasant day.

Cheers for now - pictures coming later today from El Cid.
