The Front Bottoms - Tour Diaries Sept-Oct 2013 | Page 2

Introduction Hi, my name is Paul and I am The Front Bottom’s merch guy for Europe and the UK. About midway through our tour together in September 2013 I decided to start keeping a tour diary of what happened on and off the stage. You hold the finished version of those notes in your hand. I first met The Front Bottoms whilst putting on their first Southampton show back in April 2012 and we hit it off. This friendship led to my then girlfriend, now fiancé, Kerry and I joining them on the last leg of their US tour with Cheap Girls in 2012. We did their merch, they fed us, made sure we got drunk and showed us parts of the world we’d never seen before. An experience I will never forget and be forever thankful for. Then in April 2012, I was invited to do their merch on their UK and Europe tour, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I hope you enjoy reading about our adventures Paul Edwards THE FRONT BOTTOMS – UK & EUROPE 2013 15 September – The Corporation, Sheffiled (w/Allison Weiss) th 16 September – King Tut’s, Glasgow (w/Allison Weiss) th 17 September – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds(w/Allison Weiss) th 18 September – Korova, Liverpool (w/Allison Weiss) th 19 September – The Sugarmill, Stoke (w/Allison Weiss) th 20 September – The Bodega, Nottingham (w/Allison Weiss) st 21 September – The Institute, Birmingham (w/Allison Weiss) nd 22 September – The Cavern, Exeter (w/Allison Weiss) rd 23 September – Thekla, Bristol (w/Allison Weiss) th 24 September – Dingwalls, London (w/Allison Weiss) th 25 September – The Joiners Arms, Southampton (w/Allison Weiss) th 26 September – McKluskies, Kingston 27 September – L’international, Paris, France th 28 September – Klub Kamakazee, Mechelan, Belgium th 29 September – MTC, Cologne, Germany th 30 September – Schlachthof, Wiesbaden, Germany st 1 October – Luv, Hanover, Germany nd 2 October – Beta, Copenhagen, Holland rd 3 October – Comet Club, Berlin, Germany th 4 October – B72, Vienna, Austria th 5 October – Mokka Café, Thun, Switzerland th 6 October – 013, Tilberg, The Netherlands th
