BlackieBlog-Feelin Hot,Hot,Hot

So after a busy day it's time to sit down on the bus and relax before heading to bed. Started the day with the KCRW show in Santa Monica where we played the first six songs from the new record. You should be able to listen to it still at the KCRW website if you didn't manage to catch it earlier. Immediately after the show we were off to the airport to fly to Pheonix, Arizona. I was chatting to a guy, on the plane, who lives here & he was telling me how it would regularly be 115F in the summer months & sometimes be in the 120's, holy c^*p. I'm English, I'm gonna suffer big time in that kind of heat, begin to remember the time I burnt to a crisp at the Coachella Festival, Palm springs & spent the rest of the day listening to random strangers telling me to put sunscreen on, then the pilot announces 104F for today just before the plane begins bouncing around like a ball on a piece of elastic string, this is turning out to be quite the journey!So after landing we made our way outside, there it was, the hit of the whole heat.
We played at the Marquee Theater tonight. Once again we had a really good crowd of people singing along to tunes new & old which was great to see. There was a new introduction to the ending of Devil Will Ride, thanks to Ol & Ben, which involves a rhythm from a certain British metal band who started in the late seventies & became big in the eighties, strangely enough it worked & sounded pretty rocking, but let's see if anyone at future shows can figure out which band it's from. And so this brings me to the present moment where it's time for bed. Night all!
