had a fun show, played “brilliant” for the first time in the encore, a stripped down version with just jon and kevin
we are in edmonton getting ready to soundcheck and play with the setlist

these are the new tour t-shirts, at the shows exclusively for now!

thanks to everyone that came out last night! we had a great time, a bit freewheeling with all the new songs. i have to say it was amazing to see everyone singing the words to everyday things considering it was the first time we have ever played the song live.

heres a video of what you looked from where i was standing… (posted at www.davidusher.com )

its 4 am and the band and i are getting ready to fly out to vancouver and start the tour. the bus will meet us at the airport and it will be good to get onto our home on wheels. even after years of doing this, i still love it. there is something about the start of the tour and getting on the bus. feels like september and the first day of school (without the homework or tests). we have most of the songs up and running but its going to be the first time playing a lot of things so time to be brave right!

just so you know, i carbon offset the bus. i couldnt really find a bus carbon calculator so i counted it as 4 ford escalade’s going across the country. close enough:) i used a canadian gold standard carbon offset company, www.plantair.ca

cant wait to play-see you tonight. x

so i was thinking it might be interesting to play a new song in the show

ive been working on “everyday things” for the last few days, so this is a video of where it is right now

over this week im going to bring it into the band and play with it, if it works out ill put it in the show, in whatever form its taken with the band, so you can see the transformation

i think it will be an interesting experiment!
