Weinland: I Wouldn’t Hold Out for the Credence (Reno, NV)
1 CommentPosted on Friday, May 9th, 2008
Before we left Chico in the AM we went on hotels.com to search for a place to stay in Reno. We saw in one of the banners on the website that Credence Clearwater Revival was playing in Reno the same night as us. But un-intimidated we booked a room in the same hotel, or […]

Malnate, Italy
I have just arose from bed and coffee is being made in the Bialetti Moka pot. It is wonderful to be back in Italy. I love this country, it’s people, it’s food, it’s wine, and it’s landscape. This is my fifth time to tour […]

Dear Diary,

Nick Jaina: He Strummed His Way Into Trouble (West Texas)
1 CommentPosted on Monday, April 28th, 2008
Olivia Pepper gave me a haircut on a bench in a small park in Austin, Texas. The park was filled with strange birdfeeders that looked like Scandanavian condominiums. A random man walked by and saw what was apparently the first outdoor haircut he had ever seen and shouted, jokingly, “Hey! I’m next!” […]

on train to Graz, Austria
I wasn’t going to write anything today, but I have been riding on the train for around 8 hours and I have been alternately sleeping and reading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne and need a new diversion.
I just transferred in Bischoffhofen […]

Nick Jaina: Repair Is The Dream Of the Broken Thing (New Orleans, LA)
3 CommentsPosted on Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008
The sickness grew and mutated. It had a name and a face, though I promised the sickness that I wouldn’t tell anyone what it was. It tormented me like a bully at school. It pushed me down and let me get up and then pushed me down again. It was psychedelic. […]

Nick Jaina: All My Favorite Singers Couldn’t Sing (Chicago, IL)
0 CommentsPosted on Monday, April 21st, 2008
My friend Dave Depper has contributed a lot of good to my life, like the one time that me and him played an informal set at the Roadside Attraction in Portland that consisted of nearly half the songs from the White Album, done spontaneously as best we could from memory, switching off between guitar and […]

Nick Jaina: I Need To Play Music With My Friends in the Street (Boston, MA)
0 CommentsPosted on Thursday, April 17th, 2008
After the glory and wonder of Wichita had to come the confusion and awkwardness of Oklahoma City. As all things have their beautiful rises, they must also have… well, Oklahoma City. We played in a small juice bar with an adjoining music space and no one knew why we were there. Everyone […]

We play music.
We live to play music.
We play music to live.
And we are so blessed. We drive in a Pontiac Montana, a mini-van that is literally the size of Montana. We sleep in abandoned mansions, with refrigerators full of food. We have the coordinates to the mansions sent to us ahead of […]

Cory Gray from Carcrashlander was nice enough to send us this one-off tour diary for your reading enjoyment, and we like it.
Right away I spent most of my money on bacon and beer at Rogan’s Loadhouse, only halfway to our first official stop. Afterward we spent the rest of the evening with Art Bell […]

3/15/08, The Annandale Hotel in Sydney.
Ahhh, a light at the end of our proverbial tunnel. After the amazing show in New-Asshole, we were all ready for a final blowout in the Drugs hometown of Sydney. This was going to be HUGE. The venue itself was very spacious with a great sound system and Thai restaurant […]
