This photo was taken at a place called the Funhouse in Seattle. The Funhouse had a bizarre, ugly clown as the prominent feature of its facade. I don't know if it still exists. The band was Ovipositor. The year was 2005. Colin Frangos played guitar, Matt Carter played the bass. For the that tour up the West Coast, we rented a car that was WAY too small for our gear and our bodies. We suffered a bit. Perhaps we suffered a lot. On that night in Seattle, we played with a couple of groups, Speaker Speaker and So So Many White White Tigers. I recall Ovipositor playing really early in the evening, and then sitting around for a long time while So So Many White White Tigers waited to play. Their drummer was a really friendly dude. Speaker Speaker guys were nice, earnest people.
I can't say that I did a ton of touring, but the times that I did were generally weird and fun. It is generally interesting to meet other musicians and to try to figure out where they're coming from with their musical pursuits.
