Rio is 6,299 miles from LA. The Darién Gap, which exists between Panama and South America, is impassable by land. Tour buses would have to be ferried at that point. You would also have to pass through 7 or so countries before you reached Brazil - which would be tedious and expensive (as would be the journey in general). Some of those countries are also, as stated, extremely dangerous - both in terms of criminal elements and bad roads.


 


Traveling via boat would be much more practical, but still certainly not convenient. It makes sense for Travis to take a boat out to Europe for huge festivals or lengthy tours, but it just doesn't make sense to haul all the equipment to South America and have Travis go by boat just to play a few stops in Brazil. Look at how dense Europe is - a big city every 50 miles pretty much. South America just doesn't have that.

Yeah, flying to South America is by far the best way to get there.


 


I mean, they could do what they did last time they went to Australia and just leave Travis behind. But I think, especially right now, that would be an awful idea, because even though Matt is technically in the band now it would still pretty much be just Mark with two replacements on stage.

They just hung out at Fender HQ, testing some new amp? bassbreaker or something?


 


how cool would it be if Skiba ended up with a fender signature? I know he had that other one long ago, is it the gps? but a fender one could be huge...

New podcast is up. In the beginning Mark said they have some demo tracks done. Made a point to say that they are all having fun.

 

The guest they brought on used to make t-shirts for Atticus. Surprised they talked about to be honest but they made a joke about it being "the place that shall not be named."
 

May be some other stuff in there but there can't be that much.

 

Also Matt's guitar up there is fucking sweet. He should just use that.
