The U.S. tour is over

Earlier this afternoon the All Ages tour "bus" crapped the bed, effectively ending the tour. The band and I are now held up for the night in a motel, in Winslow, Arizona, till we can rent a van from the U-Haul in the morning. As for our former tour van we will be dumping it off to the very nice people at the U-Haul, where it will be chopped up and sold for parts and scrap. Though I must say for a 1986 Dodge Van it hauled ass for a solid 70,000 miles, which is about 69,500 more than i would of banked on it. with all that said, here's to Japan. Now where's that whiskey.

                                                              And There She Goes :-(

Sorry to: Everyone who was expecting a show from Arizona to San Diego

On The Road Again!!!

     Well, A thousand and something dollars later, Tom is out and we got our van and instruments so tour is back on track. All Ages hit the road for Denver this morning to play at the Lions Lair with Camp Kilroy and Pete Stien. Hopefully we wont have any more trouble the rest of the U.S. portion of the tour cause we really cant afford it. Tour will continue as scheduled. Im in The Lions Lair now waiting for the show to start and am going to get myself a well deserved drink.....Good Night And Good Luck.

Thanks to: Brandy Darling for putting this Show together

All Ages arrested in Kansas!!!!

           Last night All Ages played one of the best shows on the tour so far, thanks to our good friend Moe Holmes of Scene Of Irony for putting the amazing all ages, all punk show together. The show was a blast and we got to meet up with some of our other Saint Louis family, Cory and Whitney Of Dino Fight.

   After the show ended and all goodbyes were said the band and I dreaded the 1000 mile drive to Colorado we had ahead of us but we had to push on. After about 600 miles, more or less, I woke up to Tom in handcuffs and a tow truck ready to take our stuff away. The Kansas State Police were nice enough to let us grab our jackets and our computers but they had to impound the car and take Tom in. We were able to bail him out of jail at 9am but because he isn't an american citizen they had to call immigration to confirm his status. Confirming his status however proved difficult but after about 5 hours Tom was finally free. The van on the other hand is still in lock down and we are going to have to figure that out tomorrow. For now we are resting up in a motel, making phone calls and trying to get on with the tour. Hopefully this wont set us back too far.

Apologies to: The Marvin Heemayer Experience and any other bands and venues we may have to cancel because of this little mishap.

Indianapolis

   Last night All Ages touched down in Indianapolis after a 600 mile drive from New Jersey to play their first show in Indianapolis at the Wheeler Arts Theater. The show was an all ages event so we tried to keep most of Toms cloths on. We love putting on all ages shows but it's proven difficult to find a venue who wants to host. Thanks to our friends Niel and Brad we got a chance to play to the younger crowd and gave them a fun Friday night show. Along with All Ages some great local bands were on the bill, including The Slomo Sexual's and Subtonic, two awesome bands with a great sound. The real party started after the show when Tom decided to get a Henna nipple tattoo from some of the local talent at the Wheeler Arts Theater. The an hour of nipple jokes and awkward moment between tom and his artist Hidi the tat was finished and the end result was impressive.
Over all we feel everyone had a good time and we hope to play for them again soon.

Tonights Show will be at Lizards (5002 Madison Avenue Indianapolis, IN). So come out, drink, rock, make a memory.

Thanks to: Niel, Brad, The Wheeler Arts Theater, Deryck R. and Hidi.

Mill Hill in Jersey.

    Thursday night Was our Trenton, NJ show at the Mill Hill Basement and got to meet some really cool people. All Ages played with Trenton's own Stomping Ground minus one bass player, Chris Crash who was in the crowd getting some technical work done. On stage Don (guitar), Spazz (Adam, vocal), and Melvin (bass) rocked Mill Hill with some super fast paced classic punk. After the show we had to hit the road to Indianapolis where we had two shows to play, one at the Wheeler Arts Theater and the other at local music hot spot Lizards.

Thanks to: Mill Hill, Stomping Ground, Joe P. (Promoter) 

Playing in Time Square

   We left for New York yesterday morning at 5am to Start up the 2011 portion of the All Ages U.S. tour. We kicked it off yesterday with Frankie Dee, Dr. Lisa, And Henry on "The Real Radio Show" in New York's Time Square. All Ages started off the show with a couple of originals followed by an interview with the Stern-esque radio hosts which may or may not have bordered on racist.....it's hard to say, but everyone was having a good time. Before the hosts got a chance to interview the band we had to chase Tom back into the studio and get his cloths back on from running around Time Square in his briefs...... thats right, Tom's a briefs man. After All Ages was an amazing blues guitarist, Jimmy Wolf, who Rocked the hell out of Jamba Juice Where the live performances where held. Following Jimmy was soon to be pop star Rob Marin with some awesome covers of todays big hits. After all the performers got a chance to rock the crowds gathering around the window of Jamba Juice in Time Square they all got together for an all-star jam session which turned out pretty damn good for a rock band, a blues guitarist, and a pop singer who had never practiced before. Either way you look at it (potentially racist jokes, guido talk, or public indecency)   we we all had great fun doing the show and I hope the same can be said for the viewers in Time Square.

Special Thanks: The Real Radio Show, Jimmy Wolf, Rob Marin, Tokio, and Jamba Juice.
