On The Road
After a seven-and-a-half hour drive from Virginia to Pennsylvania that was only supposed to take six and a marginally good night’s sleep, I woke up in Pittsburgh to see snow falling on my friend Bobby’s deck. Sorry, shorts I foolishly packed. It’s not going to be your week. The snow could’ve gotten us down – [...]
By Terrence Richard of Junior Astronomers Right now I’m tucked away in the van driving what to me seemed to be a Tornado in Florida. Its been some time since we left Austin but it feels like only yesterday I was hungry and sweaty all over. Searching for free booze and new tunes. This is [...]
Brave Baby-Forty Bells Download Brave Baby’s Daytrotter Session Our Day at Daytrotter By Keon Masters: We woke up in Chicago around six am. Rock Island is a solid three-hour drive west and we had to be at Daytrotter by noon. Keep in mind, rounding up six adult males in their twenties at any time before [...]

The hardest part about this tour was leaving Eric and Blake behind. It had been a long time since Ryan and I [Taylor] had played a show unplugged and on our own. My biggest fear was that our lively, full band performance would be nothing more than a snooze fest for the bar crowds as [...]
We decided to take the Southern route to Texas. This is the first big road trip for Meredith and me and first major music festival, so our excitement and nervousness has been through the roof. Planning has been overwhelming for the last couple of weeks. It’s one thing if you’re just planning for SXSW. It’s [...]

Dylan Gilbert & The Over Easy Breakfast Machine 2010 Summer Tour Diary – Part 1 Hello, my name is Dylan Gilbert. I’ve been playing as a solo artist since late 2005 when I was 18 years old. At 22 I put together a band (The Over Easy Breakfast Machine) for my 2010 summer tour to [...]
I am sad to say this is our last “On The Road” with The Rocketboys. : ( I can’t wait until they come back to South Carolina so we can work with them again. They are finishing up this tour tomorrow night in Austin. Our last entry comes from Mitch of The Rocketboys. After our [...]
Week 3 of our summer tour has been an eventful one, to say the least. Probably what tops the list is that we received our final mastered album from the mastering house. Alan Douches at West West Side Music (Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective, etc..) mastered the album, and we are SUPER pumped about it. It’s [...]
Day 2 – Westgate Mall, Spartanburg, SC I’m beginning to feel like a shopaholic. In the past 3 days, we’ve been in 3 very different malls. While Rock Hill’s Mall seemed pretty slow for a Tuesday, Westgate Mall in Spartanburg proved pretty surprising for only being a Wednesday. When we’ve done Hot Topic events in [...]
So here we are, and the first day is done. Our first destination of the tour was the The Galleria in Rock Hill, which is conveniently located right off of I-77, only about an hour or so from Columbia. Touring Hot Topic’s verses regular venues is a whole new concept to us, and because of [...]
WEEK 2 This past week has been really great for The Rocketboys. We’ve gotten to play some great venues, meet some great people, and visit some great places (the 3 G’s). But before I tell you about any of it, I must tell you what may be the best story of them all. Let me [...]
WEEK 4 (Photo Courtesy of Creigh Lyndon) This week has been challenging for us. We’ve had broken amps, broken drum heads, and have had to repair our trailer twice. Chicago, IL was our last show with our friends, Scouts. We already miss them dearly. 1 guitar amp blew, and one pedal board crapped out. The [...]
WEEK 1 “I just threw up ten times in a porta-potty.” I never would have guessed that I would actually have to say that sentence ever in my life. But just a few days ago I was saying it over and over again at Cornerstone Music Festival in Bushnell, IL. Other than throwing up in [...]
WEEK 3 – “It ain’t lobster and caviar every night, boys” (Photo Credit Creigh Lyndon) There is sometimes a misconception that we live the lives of badass rock stars on the road. There is nothing farther from the truth. While we do get to play every night and see lots of different parts of the [...]
