Today we drove through the rain and snow (literally) to Boise to play at Keith’s Basement, which exactly as the name implies … is a basement. Why would we drive that far for a house show? The last time we were there was on our tour and it was a blast and we had been itching to return. It’s funny because everyone there think the Boise scene is lame, but for us it’s a welcome change. People just cram themselves into this little basement and watch each and every band, local or out of town. Not to mention a lot of people show up. It was cool to see SFL again … we played with them last time through. Summerjack was the other band and they too were very good. After the show we sat around with Keith and watched videotapes of the Tom Green show and listened in horror as Bryan introduced the Boise locals to the finer points of the donkey punch. Thanks to Keith for the place to stay and to the Mrs Butterworth crew for leaving up pancakes!
