March...

...is looking pretty busy.

The juggernaut known as SXSW will be taking over the middle of the month as usual. This year I'm only playing one official showcase and four or five other shows with the Hickoids, the Ladies and Bigfoot Chester. Bigfoot is really back! I'm thrilled.

The big news is the Hickoid European tour.

We head across the Atlantic on March 20 and meet up with our pals The Grannies. We have about a dozen shows lined up in Holland, Belgium, England and Germany (the majority of shows are in Germany).

Obviously we are all looking forward to it. I haven't been over since South Filthy went five or six years ago and it seems like forever. This is truly the best way to travel. People want you there! We're not some Ugly Americans with money, we are a broke ass band from Texas! It feels good to be appreciated.

Tom and I (one or both of us) will be filling in on bass for the Grannies for a couple of shows. Brilliant. We do it all the time over here, why not over there. All I/We have to do is learn the set...

I'll be posting (in theory) daily updates with lots of gory details. The number one question on the collective Hickoid brain is 'Will Davy go to the red light district in Amsterdam or save his money for the all-day German sex club?' Inquiring minds...
