Goes Cube – 1st ROAD BLOG from their “Tree of Tongues Tour” w/ Exotic Animal Petting Zoo

Do you know what I always used to hate? When funny comedians would up and have kids, and then suddenly their entire set would be based around parenting jokes. Funny still? Maybe. But not to people who don’t have kids. Those audience members have no frame of reference. Like a child that wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know…… Point being, this is the first “day of tour” and for me, Matt, the day has revolved around two distinct occurrences: leaving my home, my wife and kids, to come and join my other family, my band. Remembering the lessons of my youth, I won’t bore  you with ‘woe is me’ tales of fatherhood on the road.Rest assured, it’s not all chocolate boxes and roses to leave one’s kids behind. Of course, between grief and nothing… I’ll take grief. However, there is this: Goes Cube got back together today for the first time in a good while – all three of us – and had a very long, very loud, and very excellent rehearsal. We fine tuned a new song that we’re going to premier tomorrow night in Denver, and brushed up on an older Goes Cube song… at least, it’s an oldie where I come from. We’re on our way out starting tomorrow. Headed in your direction if you live between Denver and New York City. All points elsewhere, we’ll be playing for you too, someday in the near future. And when we do, I promise I won’t make jokes about taking care of kids. But I might quote a movie or two. And if it’s Parenthood, don’t throw things at me.
