Two Days In Missoula, Montana


(The above photos were taken from the bridge in Montana where we pulled aside to wait for the tow truck. Taken By Hannah Armstrong.)

We were anticipating arriving in Missoula, Montana very much. Although our two original shows fell through before we went on tour, a good guy named Dane, who both of our bands have become friends with through music and photographs set up a show for us at Union Hall. We played with this rad band called Knot Knocked Up, an all girl percussion/experimental band with feminist screaming poetic lyrics. It was way different and cool.


We were actually ON TIME for our gig, despite breaking down AGAIN about 75 mil4s away from Missoula. We were once again towed into town, but made it to the show OK.
After the show was a little crazy, dramatic, and indescribable. Each person sort of did their own thing, and spirits were low. With the van troubles hanging over our heads, everyone was stressed. We did manage to make it to the river in Montana to go swimming, which was really nice.

Our second night in Missoula we did not have a show. It was more low key, with some people going to Knot Knocked Up's trailer home, and Hannah visited her grandfather who lives in the area. We finally got the van rolling on Monday morning. It needed new lugs on the front drivers rim, and we put new tires on it while we were at it. We left for Salt Lake City revived, refreshed, and with much improved spirits, for the most part.
