Saturday, July 5th: The Blue Fugue - Columbia, Mo:
Day 1 of our 35 days out on the road. This tour will be 4 times longer than anything we've ever done. We'll put 7,000 miles on the van, spend $2,000 on gas, and inflate our air mattresses just about every night. So, you start somewhere familiar, and Columbia is our 2nd home. We've played the Fugue 4 times before, so it's a nice shoving off point. Columbia is what Champaign-Urbana would be if all 3 downtowns (Cham/Urb/Campus) were smooshed together, so you're almost guaranteed a crowd if you hit The Fugue or Mojo's.
Monday nights are notoriously empty at bars downtown; it's easily the toughest night for venue promoters to fill because of the inherent need for those who drink to come down from their weekend swill.
If history is any indicator, there will be too few people at the show tonight at The Highdive as well, and that's unfortunate. KaiserCartel, a folk-rock duo posing as indie kids from Brooklyn, will be making a tour stop in Champaign tonight, and will be supported by Tracey and Tricia of the band Tall Tale as well as Darling Disarm.
The show is an early one, starting at 7 p.m. Make sure to come out and support your downtown music scene. What's left of it, anyway.
