hyena spring tour with Great Valley
ah gee, march of 2012, we did the SXSW horror show (not to say it was all bad, but still...), and had weird times all along the way! I laughed a lot, certainly. I watched a dood walk naked into the ocean during sunrise, then get slowly pulled down the beach by the current. He surfaced far enough down that he couldn't find the staircase he had used to access this, seemingly quite private, beach - just as elderly and middle aged residents of the area came out for their morning walks with their dogs or whatnot. Yeah, I watched him scurry down the beach tryin' hide himself. Then he came to talk to me for awhile. more memories coming soon!
hyena summer tour 2011
it was the second long one, we went from Maine to California and this time Greg came back with us. Eve was on board for the ride back too. we didn't go up the west coast at all this one. we spent a minute in los angeles then turned right around. we met up with fat history month and ugh, god and yairms and a bunch of good folk along the way. a woman in... shit where was that, I even asked Dylan the other day... where... well... I'll update it later, but she asked what kind of music we played, "gospel, bluegrass, or country?". and I bought that windchime there. we played with dust from 1000 years at that pizza place in bloomington... it was their drummer's last show with the band. jimmy housed us and we went swimming in a pool. they were very generous. I'm too tired, more memories coming soon!
hyena summer tour 2010
this was the first big tour, but also just the first tour. we'd never really done more than like three shows in a row. I dunno what we were thinking, but we went from Kennebunk to Los Angeles. we used a jeep cherokee with a snail trail roof rack. we played the first show at gay gardens, I'm pretty sure at least. we went south, I have to update this later. I know we had really hot days in Atlanta and New Orleans. I got some pink overhauls and I was glistening and they had to give me a t-shirt to borrow at the cajun restaurant, so the waiter thought I was a really dedicated to the cuisine. we ended up getting a hotel cause there were hurricane warnings, but our car wouldn't fit in the garage with the roof rack so we had to take it off the jeep and carry it up to keep in our room. I don't know why we got a hotel room. these tours were not booked by an educated booker, it was just me guessing a lot. I think we all lost a good amount of money this round. I remember, we played a 4th of july show next to the rio grande. we had fun in albuquerque. it was so generous to us that trip. we went to Ceasar's and la Paisa (I may be misspelling this, I'll ask Dylan and Greg). I even bought a wedding dress. we met Fiorella. that place in tucson got red flagged cause of the loud surf rock. we stayed with my mum's childhood friend, theresa, and we could swim and look at the mountains. we met Jeremy at the dressing room in Phoenix. we drove overnight after the show to Los Angeles. we played with cool bands up in Oakland at the WE Gallery, I loved it there but we never got to go back. we stayed at little teeth's house. Dylan and I continued to Portland from there, and Greg went back to Los Angeles. We broke down in Portland, our power steering exploded or whatnot right after we got off the highway. we played an awesome house show. We drove two days to Denver, where we hung out and played with Erin waters of bunk Boyland-cha-ka. we moved her out of her sketchy apartment and over to Boulder. We went in the mountains a bit in Boulder. Oh yeah, we did that back in Asheville too, no show, but mountain rivers instead. I remember Zara really hit her head, but she was okay. Ah gee, I'm losing steam. we played in chicago. one show I wore the dress and it was just me and dylan and a couple friends we knew from growing up. we slept in a really dirty apartment in cleveland above the bar we played in. I remember a lot of cat hair and fruit flies. I remember I've never been as tired as I was after this tour. we played the last show in Allston.
hyena's first shows as a duo. those were in fall 2009. mostly in Allston. really amazing times. I used Luke's amp for our first show at Problemhouse. some shows at Purchase too. We also had fun in New Brunswick around this time. one of the times, that ice ball hit dylan's car window. he practically predicted it.
'sunny side of the street' show in my barn. with Dylan, Luke, Tim, and I. Cara helped me make an installation in the barn with a bunch of fake christmas trees, fake flowers, big frames, instruments, couches, a tv, security cameras. Lauren opened the show on violin. I was trying to get my neighbors dad to play bagpipes. he played them for me in a small living room; it was so loud, I thought my head was going to pop. Tim lived in Kennebunk that summer making money on the internet I think. there were bad seeds that summer. we started recording hunting songs. I was working on 'outside, the great drought' still too, before Dylan had recorded drums even. I had just gotten back from France, and was working as a bellman. I still am now and then.
Tim and I did a mini northeast tour, which ended up only being two shows. One at the whitehaus in JP with Great Valley, well before I knew what sorta magic I had tapped into. And the other in Providence at Bld16 with Mayor Daley. I was so naive, I didn't even know then. Luke and Alaina came with us for these shows. I was losing it doin' louie anderson "impressions."
