As we, Gregory, Nate and Bianka are taking our show on the road (and by road we mean taking the show on a plane then a train, then another train that gets on a boat then another boat, then a car, then another boat and finally another plane) to Europe from July until October we thought it might be time to revive the dusty but trusty old blog we once used as a website. This way we can tell you interested parties, and totally enraptured fans about our interesting parties with totally enraptured fans.
We will head to London on July 2nd and are looking forward to playing some street performance in South Bank and Camden. The buskers in London really do step it up so we are excited to see what sort of response we receive. Spending a full month in England we should be able tailor our performance to seduce the British.
Bianka has plans to drink tea and solve important murders in small villages and of course, time travel because those things are all perfectly British. Failing to destroy the daleks or save the Queen in a heroic fashion, or convince David Mitchell to marry her she will be found digging through stacks of books having just left a pub serving cold lagers or proper room temperature brews to keep any Portland beer nerds informed. It's the least she can do for her native land.
Nate will be working the entire month with young impressionable minds teaching them English while touring its birthplace. He plans to infect young German minds such lovely retro slang as "gov" and "tickety boo"which we are told will make him wildly popular with native Londoners.
Gregory has promised to premiere his harlequin disco tights combined with banjo screaming wah pedal to keep Londoners confused about what American Banjo music can really mean.
All kidding aside, Covent Garden is one of the more famous places for buskers in the world. Technically performers must audition but as we were not there when those happened maybe we could sneak in, or at least busk near by. Camden will be one our first performance stops and there will be disco harlequin tights deployed in this battle plan.
After London we are spend some days in Berlin. Then brief time in Sweden then to ESTONIA! We shall do our best to show the whacky beauty and real life of all these places. So stay tuned.
Of course, now is for the stressful part of travel -arranging passage across continents, getting on board with instruments and handing over our homes to trusted folks here in Portland.
As always you are invited to like us on Facebook and check out some tunes or videos on Reverbnation. Wish us luck and love and we send the same to you!
