The Lonely Forest Tour Diary - Chapter Two
For me touring with Death Cab For Cutie is similar to going down my first big waterslide. At first, I was kind of terrified: scared of the crowds, the strict regulations backstage and the pressure to be professional. However, I quickly realized I have nothing to worry about. In fact, I’m really enjoying being a long for the ride.... read more

Tumbledown Tour Diary: Chapter Two
In 2007, Mike Herrera of pop-punk band MxPx joined guitarist Jack Parker, bassist Marshall Trotland and drummer Harley Trotland in an alt-country side project called Tumbledown. The band recently finished a tour in support of their second LP, Empty Bottle. Parker recounts the second part of that tour for us below: Deep in the heart of Texas is like a second home for Tumbledown. We’ve played more there than in our hometown, and the shows are almost always packed full of enthusiastic Texans. Frisco, Dallas, Austin and Houston were no exception for our Empty Bottle tour. Over the past three years,... read more

Lou Barlow and Dinosaur Jr. Tour Diary - Tempe/Solana Beach - 11/3-4/09
Tempe, AZ 11/3 8 am flight to Phoenix from the Burbank, Bob Hope Airport, the perfect airport: small, boarding planes off the tarmac up a staircase always feels romantic, somehow. Though the feelings I have leaving home again are far from wistful. Phoenix is in the Desert; it makes Los Angeles look like a rain forest.... read more
Lou Barlow and Dinosaur Jr. Tour Diary - Boulder/Fort Collins/Halloween - 10/29-31/09
Boulder 10/29 Dinosaur Jr’s very complicated history somehow all comes together here, in Boulder, Colorado. It’s interesting that it is virtually halfway between Massachusetts and my new home in California. Blee Music, Dino’s management, has masterminded each step of our reunion career: when to record a new record, when to tour. It has brokered nearly every band discussion. As the designated parent, it also absorbs all the ambivalence and occasional yelling. So our appearance at the Boulder Theater is fraught with expectations and concern. Boulder is where the smoking ban began—the ban that has now spread to Italy, of... read more
Lou Barlow and Dinosaur Jr. Tour Diary - Boulder, CO - 10/29/09
Wake to a bus disturbance. It seems a wheel nearly shimmed off while we were in route. We are on the side of the highway (I-76), it is sleeting and the smokers are out smoking in the breakdown lane. Murph is wandering on the frontage road attached to his cell phone (I worry that he’ll be hit by a speeding pickup truck; he’s occasionally oblivious to traffic.) We congregate in the front lounge and have a pretty good time considering we are stranded. Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch film with Johnny Depp) is on the DVD player and we appreciate Neil... read more
