The Ghost Inside - Tour Update

After Bryan's quick little pit stop for not knowing how to party, FTG & TDWT smashed it to Dirtbin for the show at the Pavilion Revolution Skatepark. The turnout was super-rad, and the first out of town show kicked ass. The dudes skated the park the entire time and we absolutely wrecked ourselves on those ramps and were aching for the rest of tour. After the show we neglected Johnny's rotis and were hosted at Jimmy's place (big ups Jimmy!) and were interviewed over some wine and a Jefferey by none other than durban's Bob. Unfortunately, due to Bob's state of soberness the interview didn't record... Next day: Port Elizabeth.

Straight after the Jesters show all 4 bands had quite a drive to Cape Town for the Stellenbosch show. We drove straight throught the night with a van that smelt like a dead rat (thanks to Jeremy's shoes). The Stellenbosch show was at the Son Skatepark, which was killer, and we got to skate again. Cadillac had some hard slams in the bowl and Sheldon showed us how its done.

From Sunday to Thursday we were hosted by the awesome Murray and his house mates in Newlands (KINGS! and queen). These guys were amazing and let 10 dudes crash in their lounge, abuse their xbox, smoke their house up, party as loud as we wanted and still have smiles whenever we saw them. After the Stellenbosch show guys got rowdy and polished 4 bottles of Jager and a couple snacks.

We had two days off in Cape Town which we tried to abuse, though the first day turned out to be a recovery day. The following day we were asked to give a lecture at Vega about music videos. We then ended up at Neighbourhood in Long Street (you gotta try that place) for lunch and probably the raddest interview we've done for an article about the tour which will be coming out soon.

The day of the last show we took a walk to the train station and caught a train down the coast to Kalk Bay. The Cape has got to be the most incredible place in the world, the scenery is something else. Vis n Tjips at the Brass Bell got us sorted.

The following morning we headed straight for Bloemfontein and were lucky enough to stay with Rudi. The most hospitable guys in the country come from Bloem, it's fact. Huge thanks to Rudi, Murray and his roomies, Jimmy and the Durban crew, Cam and Jesters, and of course Sheldon for looking after us!

This Tour couldn't have happened without everyone supporting at shows, its what we love and support. Big ups to The Dead Will Tell for sharing the entire tour, Lloyd, Truth and its Burden, Chris and Matt for the sound rig, Jagermeister, Revolution, Macbeth, Music Connection, Handstyle Tattoo's and of course Ashley and TGI for making it all happen and coming over to SA.

TGI Tour - Leaving Jozie

We left JHB with the Dead Will Tell on the friday morning at around 10am for the show in Durban. A couple guys decided to start the party early and Bryan was man down an hour into the trip.

After getting our Van broken into last night, we managed to get it fixed and head home today. Will post an update then.

The Ghost Inside SA Tour - JHB Leg

The mighty Handstyle Tattoo's and The Buck n Hog in Emmarentia kicked started The Ghost Inside Tour with a slamming 'secret' show, which turned out to be packed! Through out the day the TGI guys hung out at the handstyle shop, super rad guys.

"Banging Bar!"

Our newly attained Jager mates arrived at the party with a couple bottles and a Jager 'ice' dispenser. Charl and Mike hanging with Jim and absolutely destroying the party

All the guys from TGI decided to get SA Tour pieces and all opted for these killer sharks. Paul, Matt and Ross from Handstyle tattoo's hook them up nice.

Beard off end.

Dirty P's poor attempt and a slight straggle towards the end, came so suddenly with a phone call one evening. Its disappointing we ended this early (a mere 4 months), Im pretty damn sure Pete would agree. All I can say is corporate sucks, and well done to Dirty P for his dope effort. Keep the bearde-a-growing...and get to a Ghost Inside show!

Pretoria State Theatre Show. Interesting.

We've never had a sweet change room with cool lights at a show before so this was an awesome experience...
We played the Pretoria State Theatre alongside Pestroy and Death By Ninja. The show as a whole was insane! It was like having band practice at your friend's house where all your bands could practice. 
The people that came through to watch made us all feel welcome rocked the shit out of things! 
It's interesting playing in a seated theatre. It sounds amazing but people are sitting... that's just not metal. But still rad.

Flames and DBN killing

Yesseah!

Pestroy obviously killed shit

Post show hang. We weren't doing anything illegal...

We couldn't have spent a weirder night with better people! Thanks to Pestroy and Death By Ninja for being the greatest friends alive.

MTFU Tour

So this past weekend we hit the streets of Durban with Truth and it's Burden and The Dead Will Tell for the "Man The Fuck up" tour. To be honest, you had to be pretty manly to go on this tour with the amount of good times we had. As usual, Durban showed us how they do!
Thanks to TAIB and TDWT for being such champions and making this tour happen.

Another huge thank you to Jimmy, Russell and Tom of Go! Go! Bronco for letting us stay with them and fuck their houses up. Without you guys we'd fuck up other people's houses – This is why we love you.

And a special thank you to Tyler (Insert surname here) for ending out trip with a bong! We'll see you guys in May for The Ghost Inside tour!

Drum Tracking

Yes we are getting around to recording some rad tracks, which is going to be a split album with our homies The Dead Will Tell.

FTG on THE GHOST INSIDE - SA TOUR!

We are damn excited to be joining The Ghost Inside on their SA Tour around the country. Its gonna be nuts! We'll put up updates and news closer to the time. But join the FB Page HERE to get all the info...and get to a show, TGI are crazy awesome.

Jozie Ramfest

So this past weekend a couple of us had a bit of an insane party at Ramfest Jozie.
Here's some pics of Funeral for a Friend which we were super amped to watch.
(Thanks Alison for the pics)

Beard Off...

I think it was in the spirit of Decembeard that Dirty P and Chase B met a Jay who introduced them to the Beard Master! and a beard off commenced about a month and a half ago. This is a month and a half in. There's too much at stake.
