We began this tour in Ojai with a benefit for the
Ojai Valley Community Nursury School. We also recorded most of our new
album in a studio in Ojai, so this show held a certain amount of
sentimental value. ESP opened this show using only glass bowls, vocals,
and a floor tom. UFO followed with some synthy jams.
The Greek Theater in Berkeley, where we played on Sept. 7th, is a stunning venue. Clap
Your Hands Say Yeah opened this show. I also got a chance to run to
the Berkeley Art Museum to see the Barry McGee retrospective!
We got to play before our good friends The Flaming Lips
