Johnny Foreigner Tour Diary '09 - Part 1 & 2
Johnny Foreigner Tour Diary '09 - Part 1 & 2

JoFo tour diary is back!

By overwhelming popular demand Johnny Foreigner are back on-the-road blogging for DiS.

You may remember last year that fight!-pop!-sters JoFo kept a hugely entertaining tour diary for DiS (find it here) and this year they've gone one better, yanking out their video camera and chopping up the footage to give you a greater insight into their inner sanctum.

These video blogs are preceded by an unedited, capital letter free, note from the band:

hello drowners!

we went to hull, it was a bit sketchy. there were these girls, right, totally singing along and dancing and applauding, which is obviously good, but they were also coked up little idiots who tried to rob our stuff and ruin the set. this, we're told, is completely normal; the city itself embodied in younggirl form. still, weirded us out slightly.

then we had a sleep day where i watched star trek (ITS REALLY GOOD) then we went to bristol and had a Gig Of Champions. we played the lousiana last year when we had SUPERHYPE, they cooked us lovely meatballs and about 7 people came. and this time, the meatballs were just as good as we rememberd and we totally packed out the venue. yay us. we were so distracted, it took us a full gin bottle to realise we hadn't done much filming. hence this rambling late night edit of visu-guff. thx!

Check DiS soon for more tales from the road and catch them this Saturday on the DiS stage at The Great Escape.
