1400

Over the course of the last week we have had the pleasure of playing two amazing shows with two of the most generous and talented bands around. Saturday night was spent in Provo, Utah on a seemingly perfectly chilled evening nearly a mile above sea-level. The locals were some of the friendliest music-lovers we had ever met and Corey at Club Velour had really put together an impressive and homey room(kinda reminded us of The Smell!!!). Sunday was spent waking early....1PM at the home of Andrew from Imagine Dragons to a most magnificent breakfast/lunch. As we hit the road we were encountered by some very intense snowfall....then watched the Super Bowl at the only truck stop in Utah that served chips and salsa, sitting on the floor surrounded by enthusiastic truckers and anti-freeze boxes. We finally crawled into bed here in Los Angeles on Monday morning as the sun was rising....Utah....Surreal.

Last night, Thursday marked our first trip to Lake Forest in support of Regrets and Brunettes in their month-long residency at The Gypsy Lounge. The evening was great and we had the pleasure of meeting both Arrows and The Monthlies who played amazing sets.
Below are some photos from the 1400 miles crossed.
