Let Me Be The First And Last To Say...
What the fuck Amarillo? Your town is amazing. Your food, to die for. Mark even bought boots. Real ones! And still you shit on us with copious amounts of snow in blizzard conditions? This is not the gorgeous place we have come to love. Must you remind us that we will return to the same conditions in Chicago in a few days? Not. Cool. -Nickolas www.stateandmadison.net facebook.com/stateandmadison...
Fort Worth It...
Positivity.
Everything about this tour so far has been drenched in positivity. We are just gearing up to make the drive to Amarillo to meet back up with the Heyday for the last official show of the tour. I know I made a pact to keep video blogs coming, and I have been keeping up with footage. I just haven’t had a solid couple of hours to sort through it all. Today is our only off day, so...

SXSW
I’m sitting at the Eastbound and Found outdoor concert right now. It’s 3:30pm, and the full-scale weirdness that is South By Southwest has been on for two days.
I’ve eaten BBQ, cheese, chicken, tacos, and beer over the last two days. I think I drank a Monster this morning, but I have music festival amnesia.
Saw the Damnwells last night at Paradise. They were on, and everyone...
Goodbye Dallas/Arlington.
i apologize for my lack of tumblr updates…the past few days have been pretty intense. we played java jo’s in arlington 2 days ago…which was amazing. and what was even more amazing? once the venue closed, it became a karaoke jam! there is lots of video to follow. lets just say nickolas won hearts of many with his boyz 2 men jam, and i rapped baby got back. yes…pretty...
I love Dallas!
A bird just shit on me. -peet
What exactly happened yesterday?
I somehow feel that I entered some kind of funky time warp from the very moment I entered the city of Houston, TX. The club, Super Happy Fun Land, was something that I couldn’t quite understand as soon as I walked in. You will understand more what I’m saying when some video surfaces of the show. Scott Salmon and Nickolas ended up wearing dresses. Pete ended up with an 80’s cher...
Houston...
The Rad Bromance bands have convened to sing on a streetcorner. This is what it’s all about. -peet
It's About Time You Let Go...
Another night behind us, another story to tell. College Station/Bryan TX is a beautiful part of our country that we don’t get to see very often. We took a few wrong turns so we took what seemed to be “the scenic drive” to the venue today. Lots of livestock and gravel roads. Lots of sprawling properties, things of dreams, peace abound with blue skies smiling. The thing I love most...
Daylight savings.
The Rad Bromance Tour is about to travel one hour into the future. Are you coming? -peet
58 degrees and rising.
after all the cold/rainy/gray weather we have had recently, it’s pretty awesome that the temperature seems to be going up almost 10 degrees an hour. plus the sun is out and we can actually see some blue sky. we still have a little while til we are in bryan, texas. im really praying that at some point while we are in texas we can catch some pretty big storms. i’d like to start off this...
I'm awesome.
Just got 15.5 miles per gallon. Suckers.
-peet
the caravan is off and running...
We all just left st louis and have a 14 hour drive down to bryan, texas in our tom toms. Who will arrive first?
Going down, down baby...your street in a range...
Nelly lyrics can only mean ONE thing, we are heading towards the home of the 2006 world series champions. To the city that made Kurt Warner a household name. To the city that brews my favorite beer. Yes kids, we will be back in St. Louis tonight, at The Firebird. Can’t wait. Special thanks to our good friend Devon for letting us crash on her frontroom floor for a few while we were passing...
Thank you Warrensburg!
As usual…I love the 400. You guys are incredible. Crazy videos to follow. Tony - State and Madison Tony Martino State and Madison http://www.twitter.com/tonymmartino http://www.facebook.com/tonymartino

Just so you know. If you see a cut-off post, it’s me. Love, Peter.

Panhandling.
So far today, I’ve cut my toenails on the side of a street, abused Panera’s free WiFi, and stood on a corner of a nice Kansas City shopping district playing songs for coins. Waiting for State
Just got offstage in Madison.
As Peter previously stated, Cavashawn has stayed back for a few days and we have our good friends, Koo Koo Kangaroo joining us in Cavashawn’s place. But don’t let him fool you, he will NEVER get too much of my beautiful eyes. But something happens to me everytime I look into his amazingly gorgeous eyeballs. Check it. I mean, have you seen Peter before? Jeez…What a fine specimen...
madison...hello.
Just watched a sweet ass blues jam. Now preparing to load in.

Madison, WI is between two lakes.
Yessir, it’s true. I can’t believe how many lakes we’re between right now! What I would REALLY like to say is that Koo Koo Kangaroo is one of the koolest live shows I’ve ever experienced. If you’re ever lucky enough to have them roll into your town, you’d better not miss it.
In other news, I’ve had nothing but pizza and frappuccinos on this tour, which...
I Went Down To The Crossroads...
Tour-wonderful-tour has been going splendidly. For a rock band trying to make it in our time the odds are stacked well against you. Money is tight. Gas is not cheap. People have their guards up. Doors locked. Hearts closed. Safe. When then is the best time to feel more alive? How many of us doubt ourselves? How many of us have come to our own crossroad and chose to leave our guts behind in an old...
