5pm on this fine Sunday afternoon in Jersey City & we just got up. Longest day yesterday – started at 8am and finished at 8am this morning. Made our way from Jersey City (our base for the next two weeks) to up-state NY, Binghamton Uni.

We had the best time there. The show was great fun. we were totally spent by the end of it – and the uni crowd were fantastic. On Fires t-shirts worn around the room – awesome.


Belt were on after us & they were great. One of the best bands we’ve played with, really funny, quirky indie-rock with an edge. Check out their MySpace – particularly the song ‘In America’.

When Belt were done, about 1:30am, we loaded out & hit the road back to New York, dropped Owen off near his place in Manhattan, dropped Kent back to Newark airport NJ, dropped the tour van back & cabbed to Jersey City by 8am. Needless to say we’re still a little out of it, body-clocks smashed into next week.

Video coming from yesterday, featuring the ride through Pennsylvania to up-state NY in the tour van,  amazing scenery. Just processing now…

Checkya tomorrow,
Fires out.
