Crash Midnight Shares A Few Stories From Their First Tour



Doing an interview for an Australian music magazine this week. A lot of their questions for us centered around the early days of the band and brought up some great stories.  We wanted to share a few with you guys.

During our first tour there were so many crazy stories- from Shaun Soho and Bo getting in a fight with each other in the street after a show in New York City that was only broken up when Uma Thurman (who was filming on the next street over) walked by them and quickly scurried into her trailer – to the band spending the night after a show in New Jersey at a house that was so dirty that no one dared use the filthy shower at the place the next day. Bo went out back, grabbed a garden hose and a bar of soap and proceeded to hose each of the guys in the band off one by one while smoking a cigarette in the back yard …neighbors must have loved that one.

While staying over at an apartment in Philly, a young lady took a rather intoxicated Soho back to her dorm room and as a thank you for spending the night with her, was kind enough to leave him money to buy the rest of the band breakfast in the morning. This was also during the era when guitarist, Alex Donaldson, had an old-school neon-green Nokia cell phone that he would routinely spike on the floor or against the wall at parties and laugh as it blew apart into 3 pieces, then put it back together and spike it again.

These stories are jogging more memories than we can fit into this post so we’ll have to do a few more of these just to cover that first tour.  Stay tuned next Tuesday.
