THE PANIC CHANNEL Check In From The Road
May 22, 2006THE PANIC CHANNEL — the new band featuring three quarters of the most recent lineup of JANE'S ADDICTION (guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Chris Chaney) and former SKYCYCLE vocalist Steve Isaacs — are in the middle of a U.S. club headlining tour in support of their upcoming debut album, "(ONe)", due on September 12 via Capitol. The band have checked in from the road via the following message:
"The first stop in San Diego was a blast, and thanks to all the Panic Asylum moderators and friends who came out to see us off right. We got our first shipment of PANIC CHANNEL shirts which turned out great, and we will soon have them available for sale at thepanicchannel.com.
"After a big bus drive west we got to a baking hot Arizona. We did some radio station acoustic performances ('Blue Bruises' and 'Outsider'). We played the Martini Ranch and the crowd was awesome. Only three songs have been released so far, but people are already singing the words along with us, which is great.
"Right after the show we got back on the bus for a 20-hour drive to Dallas. We had the night off and we went to the JFK assasination site at Dealey Plaza and played a midnight acoustic show at the grassy knoll. We plan on doing random acoustic shows when we have time at various places of power and energy.
"The show the next night at Dallas' Gypsy Tea Room started off with some crazy onstage sound issues, but we got 'em tied up and tried out an acoustic 'Outsider' later in the set.
"Our opening band is BULLETS AND OCTANE - a kick-ass, rock-solid four-piece that we are proud to be touring with. Good guys and a great band. If you are coming to one of our shows be sure to come early to catch 'em.
"Houston, Texas was next on Saturday night: we played late at the Meridian. So far, this was the largest room we've played; it had a nice big stage and the sound was the best we've had yet as well. Houston really gave it up for us, and we humbly thank you all for the warm welcome. We love Houston.
"We made 800 miles last night and woke up on the East Coast. Hotlanta is warm and friendly, and we went to the Sacred Heart Tattoo Shop in Little Five Points to get ink. Sean London, our sound engineer got the PANIC icon on his arm. Poochie, Stephen's drum tech, got the icon in some open space on his forearm. Dave got the icon on the top of his right hand and Steve got it on the inside of his left forearm. Dan, Steve's guitar tech came along for support.
"We thank each and every one of you who have come out to the shows and listened and made us feel so welcome."
