Hey Ho Let’s Go
Gigsville USA SUMMER TOUR DATES:
Episodic TV binging be damned. I’ve been taking long walks around the city. You know how I walk: Hands behind my back, slow and pensive - the Nixon walk. Every day I walk past the site of the old Church Street Station. (Anyone remember the Church Street Station? 24 hour food. And cocktails! In fact, my dear departed old friend Eddy Ray Porter told me about getting blacked out there with Elvis Costello and Bebe Buell back in the day). ANYWAY: Things change. Fair enough. But do I have to see that “Chipotle Coming Soon” sign in the window of that late night drag queen hangout every time I walk by? It kind of pisses me off. Do we really need a Chipotle? Can’t we do better than that? There’s already a cluster of Taquerias in the neighborhood. Learn more here: http://sfappeal.com/2013/03/weekend-poll-chipotle/
Okay, you can relax. That concludes my anti-corporate rant for now. See. A few weeks off and I go all preachy. Let’s end the madness, shall we? Listen up: We’ve got a mess of dates to announce. So let’s get on with it. We’re heading out east for the month of August and we’re proud to have Yep Roc label-mates “The Old Ceremony” in tow providing support here and there. We make it a policy to avoid playing with bands that blow us off the stage. So we hope it goes well. [But not THAT well, if you follow me].
We’re flaming out on all cylinders these days. Don’t take my word for it. Here’s a review of the last Mission Express tour from our Glasgow stop in the Scotsman. http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/scotland/gig-review-chuck-prophet-and-the-mission-express-glasgow-1-2916592

And girls, the offer still stands. Please come back to the hotel! The band loves to put on the lifetime channel and talk and listen and talk and listen. Does that sound like something you’d be interested in? A Rom-Com and some gossip? Maybe nail painting?
Onwards,
