The Great Escape Tour Blog #5

Well hello you sexy motherfucker, you're looking good today!!!

Since the last blog, we had spent some more time in NYC, which was quite the experience! We played at the Bowery Poetry club with our homie Kosha Dillz and some of his homies like Kyle Rapps and Ben Grimm! Good times! We played in New Brunswick NJ, at the Court Tavern, which was a stop on one of Nirvana's early tours and was once owned by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth! We rocked with Kosha again and some other dope emcee's like Roebus One, Ray Stryfe and Universal! We also played at the Rhino Bar in Newport Rhode Island, again with Kosha Dillz and other rappers like Dirty Derdy. We had excellent crowds at all three shows and met lots of cool people!

We also spent more time in NYC at the events thrown by We Are Change (http://www.wearechange.org/) and spent time at Ground Zero on 9/11. We got to hear speeches from and have conversations with people like Cynthia McKinney and lots of other Presidential Candidates, Activists, Film Makers and other wonderful people! I suggest you keep an eye on the WAC site, or You Tube for videos from these events!

It was a pretty overwhelming experience for my first time in NYC and I will definitely never forget it!

Special Thanks to Nathan of the RI We Are Change Chapter and his roomate Keith, for letting us crash at their place for a few days!!!

We are currently kicking back in Rhode Island, and tomorrow we head to Worchester MA for a show at the Lucky Dog Music Hall! Sunday we play at Napples Bullpen in WV and then we have a show at OB's Brau Haus in Appleton WI on 09/24 before our big home coming show at 624 Live in Superior WI on 09/25!!!!!


As the tour starts to wind down we want to send a special thank you out to everyone who has been involved in making this happen and who has helped us out in any way, shape or form! Special shout out to our tour mates MC Pigpen, Pat Maine, Dusk One and DJ Street Jesus!!!! Great Escape Ma' Fuckas!!!!!!

We hope to have tour videos on You Tube ASAP, I just gotta edit the footage down......

Peace,
