It's friday at lunch and im still trying to get down from this high im on. WOW! I was at one of the best concerts I've ever seen last night in Toronto. I went to see Travis at the Koolhaus, and man let me tell you......INCREDIBLE! Song after song they were great. In a lot of ways playing in The Dunes reminds me of Travis. Very energetic, everyone on stage is loving it, total crowd participation! Very cool to be a part of it from the audience and not always on stage. But on that note it has totally re-inspired me to keep rockin and living my dream! I am soooo pumped for tonight's show at The Rivoli. Can't wait to get back up there and do our thing! Cheers and we'll see you tonight.
Peace out,
John

First UK tour is complete!
Well what can I say? The Dunes rocked the crowds across the pond! We played 8 shows in 14 days including a radio interview on the BBC and a photo shoot as well. I never knew what to expect being on tour in the UK but I did expect there would be lots of drinking. And believe me there was! We were so busy everyday with the travelling and constant lugging of our gear it made it very tire some for us at times but at the end of the day when I stepped on that stage with my fellow Dunes it made it all worth it! We experienced the vibes around London when there were the bomb scares going on. Kind of an unsettling feeling when you're there. We experienced missed flights and eaten bank cards in machines and spebt loads of money.
Our short time in Edinborough was an incredible experince for me. Everyone in England said the weather would be worse but it actually was quite nice. Sunny and warm days. We played a show in downtown Edinborough at a popular venue called Whistle Binkies where just a few years back Travis themselves graced the stage. Pretty cool let me tell ya! So many stories in such a short time that I don't even no where to start. One thing I do know for sure is that The Dunes are stronger, tighter, and are better friends now than they ever were. Not to blow our own whistles but if you come to see us July 20th at The Rivoli in Toronto, you are in for a real treat!!!! Looking forward to the next show. Over and out!
