True Colors in Denver

Stayed up late on the bus watching “Jackass” with The Dresden Dolls crew, and then slept the sleep of a rock star on the road without a groupie. I needed it badly. This tour is pretty grueling. I am sure I wouldn’t be so tired if I didn’t insist on rocking out to every band on the side of the stage. It is a long show and not only do I have to perform between each act, I am unable to stop myself from dancing! My whole body is sore from jumping up and down like a crazy fool.

There were many highlights from the show last night in Salt Lake City. First of all, we were joined by The Cliks! I love them and they rocked!!!! I am trying to convince them to join us for the entire tour…hopefully they will. Ohmigod they are total babes and their music is amazing!!! I am shooting the video for their new single “Eyes in the Back of My Head,” which is basically them on this tour being the band that everyone wants to see. I will put it up as soon as it is done.

There were a million other incredible moments from the show, but my favorite was when Andy Bell ended the Erasure set with the gorgeous “Oh Lamour.” As soon as he started the song, I heard this incredible wave of screaming and applause from the huge crowd. It was like 20,000 people collectively swooning. Beautiful.
Today we are in Denver, CO at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The sun is coming down hard and I am hiding up in the dressing room trying to figure out which underwear is clean enough to wear.

It is weird to be living on the bus because you have to have a method to your luggage which I haven’t mastered. Also, one of the rules of the bus is no solids in the toilet. It is a no poo zone, which is tremendously practical, but I also keep forgetting. I peed and then tossed some toilet paper in, then I remembered the rule. I had to reach back in and drag out the now soaked paper. Why am I telling you this? I guess I want you to see that being on tour with a rock band isn’t always champagne, cocaine and cock. It sometimes means reaching in where you don’t want to reach.
