Howdy folks.
Here's the deal: We in TLASILA live all over the freakin' place. Tom's in Adel, Ga., (Don F's hometown, too); Don, T-Bone, Andrew, and Mark are all up North, Graham's in Georgia about three hrs from Tom, I'm in D.C., Ben's in L.A., and Rat's in Florida.
Getting us all in the same town to write stuff, rehearse, et cet., is an undertaking all on its own. And getting all of us, or even most us, to clear our schedules -- when all of us have pretty intense day jobs and other projects -- and embark on a weeks-long jaunt in a van is well-nigh miraculous, when it happens.
Then, on top of that, we're playing stuff that's pretty out-there. The big corporate wankpits aren't exactly throwing cash at us, and Tom consumes several gallons per day of kefir, kimchi, and kombucha. That funky-ass organic shit adds up quick. Rat's beer requirements alone would drain most third world treasuries, and gas, as we well know, is a kajillion dollars a gallon.
Rest assured, we're working on a way to tour
incessantly. If we have our way, you will soon be sick of us, and you will long for the days when we only assaulted you once a year or so.
[[[Also, any of you freaks in D.C.: there will be a mini-TLASILA hoedown at the Warehouse Next Door tomorrow nite. TLASILA stun-guitarist Mark Morgan is bringing the legendary Sightings through town, and Demons (Wolf Eyes' Nate Young, along w/ Steve Kenney) are on the bill, too. I'll be playing as Ultimate Vag.]]]
