Hitting the Road!

Next week sees us hit the road for an awesome adventure. We will be following Fozzy on their UK tour with Breed 77 and Voodoo Vegas... Yep, that's right. We are going to EVERY show.

We've already had stick from friends who don't understand why we want to see the same show 8 times, spend hours stuck in traffic jams, spend hundreds on fuel, sleep in crappy hotels, eat junk and probably get ill? Sad times when even your family are calling you groupies! But it's not like that!

We see it slightly differently...

Yes, 8 shows is a lot... and maybe a little repetitive, but it's not just the music! We will be meeting up with fans and friends that we've made over the years that we rarely get the chance to see normally, along with no doubt meeting new ones. While the fun and excitement of a badass rock show is still going to be there each night, our favourite part of these crazy trips is the socialising!

As for the car journeys... imagine loud, heavy music blaring, lots of laughing, joking and having fun... oh, and terrible singing along to aforementioned music . Okay, we'll give you the shitty hotels part. There's not much we can do about that, but it's only a place to sleep and we're not picky. All in all, it's an adventure. The kind you rarely get to do in your adult life. A chance to meet new people all with the same interest, share stories and experiences and most of all create some awesome memories.

Don't get us wrong, this isn't going to be something we want to do every tour, but everyone needs to experience this once, right? If you haven't already, you should! All the traveling from city to city, lack of sleep and wondering how bad your next "meal" will be makes you feel like some kind of rockstar yourself. (Leese speaking from experience here... She's done this before!)

So, no... We're not following the bus around waiting for an opportunity to sleep with the band members. It's about being passionate about the music you love and sharing that with fellow fans and friends.

Plus, we get to document everything here. The highs and the lows, the things that will inevitably go wrong, the endless torture of a poor boy that is going to be stuck between the two of us for the entire week.

We'll be sure to share our stories... I'm sure there will be a few. We never seem to be able to do anything without some kind of farce, so spending 8 nights on the road is sure to bring farcical moments of epic proportions. There'll probably lots of pictures and maybe some videos.

Oh, we've got a few surprises in store, too. So make sure you keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter where we'll be announcing things shortly. It's exciting!

If you happen to be at any of the Fozzy shows, come say hello and share your stories with us. We'll be armed with a dictaphone and stuff. Food donations will also be welcome!
