Vice Cooler of XBXRX, KIT, and Hawnay Troof comes with his other favorite gigs of 2007. For the rest, go to his list here.
- While I was performing in France an orgy broke out (which I did not partake in).
- I played on three boats.
- KIT had a great tour with Deerhoof in the United Kingdom. While in Wales we got to hear an enormous drunken man who resembles a tree trunk take a horrible jab at singing along with Satomi Matsuzaki. Afterward a kid came up and said it was the most inspiring show he had seen. I asked why, and he answered, "Well, I'm a drummer. Seeing you and Greg [Saunier] play was great because you guys are always missing the drums and hitting the rims and stuff. That's cool!"
- In Southern California, XBXRX had underage kids shove socks up their own asses.
- I can't tell if this is good or bad, but a woman told me she and her husband decided to get married as a result of my set.
- After we played to tons of awesome kids in Mexico, tour promoter Alex Tonella decided to disappear with all the tour money. He left us stranded at an airport in Tijuana. When we were finally on the road to Los Angeles to catch our flight home, a tire blew and the gas ran out, causing us to miss our flight.
- One day I woke up deaf in one ear, so I went to the hospital, and it turned out I had an infection covering the entire upper half of my body. I said, "Fuck it," and took a ton of meds and got on the plane. Forty-eight hours later I was playing to 4,000 people in France and doing interviews, etc. Now that was fucking funny!
