More about Canada later. I usually try to keep everybody informed about life on the road as it happens, but this tour was so hectic and nonstop that I'll just have to fill you in belatedly. In case you weren't paying attention, The Independents have been on tour with THE QUEERS and DYNAMITE BOY.
We kicked things off in Boston at TT The Bears.
Pretty much the first time all the bands had met each other. The place was sold out. I didn't get to see too much of the show because the parking around there sucks and we had to keep someone in the van at all times because we were parked illegally.

Next stop, NYC.
Before I go any further, I just want everyone to know that what you are reading is not necessarily the opinion of the entire band (or bands). It is strictly mine.
FUCK NYC!!!
Thats right . FUCK IT!!!
especially CBGB'S.
Well, not the fans in NYC or the building itself. Just the worthless shits who work there. The only decent individual was the sound man and they are usually the shitheads. I don't remember his name but he looked native American with two long pony tails. Thanks to him for being really helpful while his coworkers walked around with their heads planted firmly in there own assholes. They treated all the bands like it was the worse thing in the world that they had to WORK because we were playing a show at the club WHERE THEY WORK!!!!! Even the twerp whose only job was to stand by the back door to make sure it is shut gave us a shitty attitude. Whats kinda funny though is, Joey Ramone is usually with us when we play shows in NYC. And when he is they all can't stick there noses far enough up our butts. Unfortunately he was to busy to make it to this one. Ass kissing losers. Don't forget, this is just my opinion. (but I'm usually right).

It was a really good show though. We got lots more shows to talk about so Stay tuned over the next few days for more exciting Drama. See how good we get treated in DC and find out why the tour gets nicknamed "Scrapple Tour MMI"
