Round 5: Chicago
In Chicago, we played at the Epiphany Episcopal Church. Representatives from the Empty Bottle were incredibly helpful and organized for this show. The reverb-crazy vaulted ceilings presented an obstacle in terms of acoustics, but it ended up sounding surprisingly good.
Our biggest show yet (and it’ll probably be the biggest of the whole tour) with 750 tickets sold. Also one of the most...

The calm before the storm
We are awaiting the start of the eyes night show in Chicago, which is being hosted by the amazingly beautiful Epiphany Church. Some of us are upstairs in the “green room”, the rest are either downstairs or outside chatting with fellow travelers and/or local friends that may have been long out of touch. The slow, somber piano being played by Alex is a gentle sign that we are entering...

Round Four: Detroit
Feet Night in Buffalo was awesome. A smaller crowd, but very enthusiastic & fun. We didn’t head to Detroit in a caravan, but rather each van or bus headed out when its occupants were up and about. It worked out better, ending up only slightly later than our target load-in time.
The Detroit shows are taking place at Museum of Contemporary Art: Detroit (MOCAD). This place is awesome. Ben...

“Someone should probably write about how amazing it is that an entire music scene...”
– From a review of Eyes Night in Detroit by Jasper at Web Vomit http://jasper.webvomit.com/?p=1767 Of course, this isn’t the whole of Baltimore’s scene, by far. But the sentiment remains.

Secret Surprise Sleeping Adventure
In which Bob from Nuclear Power Pants unwittingly plays Goldilocks, & the kind young woman playing the Three Bears offers an alternate ending.
After Eyes Night in Buffalo, a small group of us were invited by the charitable Amy & Nick to sleep in the attic above their apartment. At maybe 7 AM I awoke cold. (I didn’t bring a blanket or sleeping bag on tour.) I remembered that we were...

Round Three: Buffalo
As expected (but why???), crossing the border was a way bigger hassle for us as a bunch of US citizens & residents crossing back into the States than it was getting into Canada in the first place. With that, plus having to get to the bus serviced, & driving slow with so much weight, we got to Buffalo an hour after doors were suppose to open.
The hip set of the Nickel City was horny for...
Round Two: Montréal
photos uploaded on October 6, 2008 by Andreas Sundgren
Right after Feet Night in Boston we headed north & finally met up with the veggie-powered bus in Burlington, VT (complete with awesome rat) before driving to Montréal. The border crossing went a lot better than expected, except that Canadian customs stole all of our merchandise and then sold it back to us at 40% off.

Funny Clown seeks human connection at MassArt in Boston.
The 2008 Baltimore Round Robin Tour began in Boston on October 2 & 3. Aside from a few technical difficulties, everything went smoooooth with the sight & sound & thought transmission. Funny Clown was picked up by the cops outside the venue for disturbing the peace, but was eventually released without charges after he explained...
Round Robin?
WHAT IS A ROUND ROBIN SHOW LIKE?
The format of the show is as follows:
- All the bands set up at the same time along the perimeter of the room with the audience in the center
- Each band does one song per round, no breaks, back to back to back etc., until the show is completed
- There is no headliner or opener, no front row or back of the room
Curated by Dan Deacon, the tour includes bands...
