dredg have posted the sixth installment of their studio diary series, “The Leaflet”, online here. The band plan to have their new album in stores in January/February.

So today has been a great day so far. Woke up and shaved. A few of us went to bank of America to exchange the money from Canada. Next we hit the post office and got some money orders to send out to people we owe money too for merch and stuff. Last to a shell station to take everthing out of the van, wet wipe and vacuum the inside and throw out all the trash that has piled up in the van. So you may be thinking that sounds like a shitty day running around and doing stuff. I guess a clean van really makes me feel better and traveling with lots of money isn’t too smart. We got the trailor spare tire fixed yesterday and sat am were getting an oil change. So for everyone that thinks tour is all fun and hanging and drinking and great shows and stuff that’s some insight into the ugly truth. Ill make a list of other things on tour that suck

Living in a van and hotel room with 7 other dudes

Gas prices

Wearing dirty clothes cause you have no clean ones left

Annoying guest list calls from people you wonder how the fuck they got your number

Security guards

Driving all night without a shower

People that just post up and want to just hang out when your busy as

fuck Having your friends be super excited to party and get drunk. For them its their one night out a week and you do this everyday and they get all bummed when you say “man I just don’t feel like drinking and getting crazy tonight.” The pros still outweight the cons but at times tour is hard and I just want to be home. I’m not saying right now cause I’m super happy in this tour. Its great. Just like the dark night.
