Played Prescott, AZ last night. The first and last set were pretty good. The middle one was met with a bunch of crickets. Still, it was a good night for the band, though quite exhausting. We played from 9:30 till 1am, which included setting up and handling our own sound. By the end of the night, we were zonked.
We stayed in this cool old motor court last night called the Apache Motel. It will soon go the way of the Do-Do bird as it is being sold and then torn down. It’s the wave of the future, more corporate America blandness, less mom & pop character. I’m a sucker for old time stuff, so this kind of thing is a bit heart-breaking.
As we traveled over from California, we essentially followed the old Route 66 thru Arizona. Lot’s of cool things to see along the way. We got to see some of the old billboards, hotels, gas stations, and shops in Williams and Flagstaff. It’s pretty amazing to think of all the people that have traversed that route over the years – especially during the dust bowl.
Tonight, we are playing the Last Exit in Tempe. We also get a bit of a reprieve in the length of our set as we are joining forces with another band, Tramps & Thieves. After playing a number of 3+ hour shows, it will be nice to kick back after doing a power set and not have to worry about our own sound.
Cheers,
DF and SBSD
