April U.S. Tour Finally Arrives
Daaaang, we are finally going on tour again. against all odds this band is back on the road with a new keyboard player, a new sound man, and a new tour manager. this tour will be a blast for many reasons but the main one is because we will be headlining or co-headling almost almost all of the dates rather than opening. the tentative schedule has us starting in vt and staying on the east coast until the 12th when we hit the midwest for the next 10 days. we will be hitting many new cities such as denver, kansas city, pittsburgh, ann arbor, grand rapids, northampton and even marquette, mi. please check the tour section on the site for all the confirmed dates thus far.
another highlight of the tour will be getting to play some shows in the midwest with our friends from Bump. Bump are good people and big thanx to joe choma and jc for working us in on the bills with them. i’m looking forward to those dates in michigan — especially grand rapids becuase that’s where im from so not only does the band get to stay at my mom’s house and have her cook them breakfast but a bunch of my friends from high school should be at the show… good but scary times. ian, the president of the wighead street team is also going out on the road with us as our tour manager/do-everything guy. kevin our spiritual sage burning soundman from san diego is also making the trip. 7 good people on the road should reap plenty of good karmic rewards. the real only drag about the tour is going to be how it starts. mariqueen and i are going to drive the equipment out east and meet the rest of the band there. yeah of course it will be tons of fun to drive with Q but 45hrs of driving is never fun even if its with a car full of comics. good times for sure and tons of good stories for the blog to come. what an intense road trip and tour to follow. ok then, much more to come about this in the next few days.
brian – i expect to see you at a few of these shows.
hey frob you better be in kc with a beverage in your hand.
jim wellington, the same goes for you in pittsburgh

Yes!!! I am so happy to hear you will be back on the road and in Michigan. I would love to come see you play. I missed you last year in Detroit.

Frob, I wish I could make it back to good ol KC for the gig, but I’ll be here in CA. I’m gonna make sure some of my old friends there know about the gig though…
Where in KC are you? Shoot me an e-mail at kampy1971@hotmail.com with your address and I’ll mail you a dvd of WIG’s San Diego gig…

I’ll have more than one beer in my hand. That kicks ass that you all are coming to KC. I already took time off from the job and I’m ready to kick back some cervezas and WIG tunes.
Hey Kampy, hope to see you there as well.

Hey F10….Next time I want to see MY name up there with your expectations about my attendance. Anywho, I’m psyched about the Philly show. And even if some of thase loads decide it’s a ‘school night’ and don’t go…I’ll be there.
Yo – I haven’t seen you in a while and miss you.
Oh, Giants….all the way, g.
Great to finally see you back on the road where you belong. and so cool that you’re playing my old hometown of KCMO. I’ll alert my buddies there that their attendance is mandatory…
and my secret for making those cross-country drives a little more bearable: books on tape.
