The A.K.A.s (Are Everywhere!)

Hello from Tacoma, Washington! Tonight is the second night of our US tour with The Phenomenauts and I'm writing this from within the fiery walls of
Hell'sKitchen..


Last night we kicked things off at
Johnny B's in Medford, OR. It was our first time in Medford and it was a positive experience with some friendly local rockers and rockabilly rebels. We drove overnight and slept in a truckstop parking lot (glamorous, right? Buy our record, for real). I narrowly avoided a public urination citation after an accidental run-in with a lawn sprinkler and an Oregon state trooper, but I won't get into that…

I'm a big fan of the Pacific Northwest not only for sweet rock shows and sweeter rock fans, but it has some of the most scenic drives, righteous restaurants, and great coffee. Check out Satellite Coffee Company if you're in Tacoma. One of it's owners is the drummer in past tourmates (and one of my personal favorite bands) ZEKE. Tell 'em Chachi Darin and The A.K.A.s sent ya!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows on our most recent jaunt with The Forecast, rocked out and hung out at Bamboozle Left, and earned a degree in dancing at Ramapo College.

Speaking of Bamboozle Left, here are a few photos I took that weekend. The A.K.A.s Are Everywhere one way or another… just ask Dee Snider from Twisted Sister! If you haven't seen the Myspace TV interview at Bamboozle Left yet, be sure to check it out and comment to let everyone know you watched it.








In big news behind the scenes, we were recently in NYC for a day shooting a video for our hit single that's sweeping the nation, "Dead Flowers Forever". It's currently in the editing stages and I can't divulge any details of how amazing this video is going to look or why exactly we're all entirely painted black! Take a look at these stills in the meantime:









Be sure to leave some friendly comments to keep us company on the road and we'll see you soon when we're in your town.

EVERYBODY MAKE SOME NOISE!!!

Sincerely,

Your favorite drummer…

Chachi Darin
