John's Alley, Moscow ID

Johns Alley is the best live music venue in the cool little college town of Moscow ID. An odd mix of hippies, skin heads, christian conservatives, country cousins and college students. We first walked in to find the tallest bartender we have ever seen. Vertical Dave is 7 feet plus and towers over the bar. We played all night, old material and the songs from the new album. It was probably the best we have sounded on the road yet. The crowd was really cool, met lots of new friends. However our crowning achievment for the night and possible the entire tour, is to have earned the only sound complaint in the 20 year history of Johns Alley..... and we're not even a rock band. Matt the bartender(who has horns tattoed on his shaved head, as well as side burns tattoed on his fice, told us to crank it louder after the police left. We followed orders and turned it up to 11. The picture is from the stage during our second set.
