TOUR: Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the 2nd stop on our "The Doctor Said We'll Outgrow This" Tour and we show up early to Safari Sam's (the venue), unload, talk to the promoters, and then mosey down to the dilapidated 99 cent store on the other side of the parking lot. After finding there is nothing there to purchase (except for expired beer and gummed up hair ties), we shuffle back into the glare of the sun and the heat of LA.

About an hour later, we are SO stoked as our fans start pulling up decked out in So Long Davey! shirts and ready to watch the show! It's our only all ages show in So Cal for the rest of the summer, so people have even driven up from San Diego to see us... WOAH!

After playing what was definitely one of our best shows over the past two years, all we can say to those who packed the show and watched the unsuspecting jaws drop when we hit the stage: we can't thank-you enough because we only get to do this because of you.

We met so many amazing people at the show, and, as it turns out, Maverick Records was there on the balcony and the A&R guy invited us up for a nice chat. As far as that goes, we shall see what comes...

Needless to say, LA was a great start to our first headlining tour.
