A big thanks to the TreeFarmers and Beat the Train for a fun show at the Token, surviving tornados and floods.  


The SpokeDrunkies turned out a spot-on performance of the entire Never Mind the Bollocks, Here the Sex Pistols album.   LT enjoyed an energetic middle set, many thanks to old and new fans for the enthusiastic applause and compliments.   And finally, a big head-banging bow to Voice of Anger in their first public performance ever.  Unbelievable.  

Thanks also to everyone's favorite MC, Joe "HoDaddy," for the great introductions, mosh pit bossing, and general hilarity.  A hearty peacock call to y'all!

Mark your calendars for our next scheduled show at Small's in Hamtramck on 18 July, lineup to be announced soon!  

We're so pretty, oh so pretty... vacant!

Last Night, She Said

Thanks to Air Traffic for letting us join their stop in Detroit last night and thanks to everyone that came out to see us on a Tuesday night.

Their set was really impressive, they're all really good musicians and their songs translate really well in a live setting (great arrangements)... really. They're not getting the attention they deserve right now in the States -- but I hope after this current club tour that changes.

For LT fans outside of Detroit, go catch Air Traffic and for everybody else who missed them, go check them out on facebook or myspace.

Which reminds me, have you friend Last Tourist on facebook and myspace? You really should do that.

Detroit Dodge City

Howdy true believers, your friendly neighborhood Tourists are happy to announce a new show at one of our favorite Hamtramck venues that somehow never seems to have that many shows, the New Dodge.

We'll be playing with our good friends the Prime Ministers and our new friends, Project Mapex. I'd tell you more about Project Mapex, but the first rule of Project Mapex... yada, yada, yada... suffice to say, they are dozens, even hundreds or maybe even a thousand times a thousand times better than most bands of this or any nation. Get there early and don't miss a minute of the rock.

Blown Out

Thanks to everyone who came out to our show on Friday night, we couldn't have been happier. Virginia and the whole crew at Jeans were awesome and Dave the soundguy worked really hard to keep things under control and sounding great. We were ready to rock a great crowd, but even we were a little surprised that some people couldn't get in the door.

If you were one of those people who saw us for the first time, you can keep up with us at our email list, facebook or the ever popular myspace.

If you missed it, pics are up over at Gorilla's Flikr.

Thanks again and thanks to

Big Matt at Motorcityrocks (page down)
The Post-Rockist
and
Mr. Awesome J. Handyside

for all the kind words.

Come check us out at Jean's on Friday March 9, but be sure to catch some of the other 200 bands playing over the long weekend.

Fishbones is on the Western Shore or left bank for you FrancophilesJanuary 9 at Fishbones

Peabs will be playing a solo show at Fishbones in St Clair Shores on Wed January 9.

Fishbones is at the corner of 9 Mile and Jefferson in St Clair Shores, Michigan, -unironically on the shore of Lake St. Clair.

Be there or pretty much plan on having a terrible 2008.

We're also working on a follow up to our 2007 self titled release at Tourist HQ (available on emusic, rhapsody, iTunes and at considerably less cost through your friendly neighborhood Tourist) and are looking forward to Orthodox Christmas, unless of course it's already past us by.

This looks like my paper, except that it has his personal line on it, so if you see this scrap of paper, it's not correct.Last but not least, if you come across a small piece of paper with Nigel Godrich's phone number on it, please return it to me -- I hear he's doing great stuff in practice spaces these days (http://radiohead.tbdrecords.com/). Also, if the small piece of paper has Nigel's cell phone on it, it's not MY piece of paper, MY piece of paper had his private line number on it, a rotary phone in a bunker deep beneath Nelson's Column in Trafalger Square. Please return other scraps of paper with the numbers of renowned producers to their proper owners.

that is all.
