Johnny Brenda's in the Fishtown district of Philly is one of those Venues where you always wanted to end a tour. All kinds of beer, a great selection of food and an expansive and beautiful sounding room. It was with some heavy-ness in our hearts that we set up and rocked the crowd into a little bit of blissful space - dedicating our set to the generosity and good will of the guys in Wovenhand. It was really great to get to know their music and themselves and to be challenged by the nightly process of throwing out the best set of music possible. They were able to bring some new element to their set almost every night, and we in turn were encouraged to do the same. There was a beautiful symmetry in the arc of the tour, with leaves changing and falling from trees and life turning from summers heat and throb to winters cold burning ache. Philly is a great town as far as I can tell there was even an interesting guitar shop up the street called DiPinto guitars, Ego Sensation almost bought a bass that had stars on the frets but at the last minute decided it would take another look.
DaveW, Ego Sensaton and myself all have given in to the art, thrill and chore of making the rock happen for quite a few sated audience members across the north and mid states this fall. If you ever get a chance you should certainly check out Wovenhand and White Hills. Thanks for reading.
