Muncie Feels the Love from Soraia

This is a few weeks old, but still worth a plug. Philadelphia band Soraia came through Muncie (twice) on their December tour and wrote about their love of our humble town in their MySpace blog. Read on for quotes.

Well, here we go yesterday---after a beauteous raw dirty hot smoky sexy show in Chicago, IL Friday night--one which made Sue entirely too weakened to blog about--and left for Muncie, IN to go to Doc's Music Hall for a late LATE night gig. Our set time was 220 am...yep---they stay open til 3, but they happened to stay open til 330 this night---and here's why: IT WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER YET TO DATE. I wrote in caps cause I'm still really feelin' it...huge stage, aliiiiive club---fuckin' class A place...plenty of cooooool cool people---really easy to talk to ---and really into music and the scene it brings---this place---from arrival at 11 pm IN time...was a blast. The bands were all amazing---this one really floated my boat, though---"Know More Robots"...ADD EM....Indiana band---we're hoping to be bringing them here soon when they get on the road---you'll LOVE them. Anyway---WOW---what a night---felt like rockstars. Phantom Watson asked us to stop back again and play another show on Tuesday after our Indianapolis show on Monday night---and of course...we will be there...can't wait. One more thing...for those of you in the k-n-o-w....Muncie, Indiana is actually the former home of the Muncie Transmission Plant: a place of extreme notoriety to all those who owned muscle cars in the 60's and 70's. Everyone who owned a muscle car then demanded a Muncie custom 4 speed. In fact, even if you lived in a place of many, many hills...you demanded a Muncie 4 speed transmission. Why? Because you had balls. So, a toast to the old Muncie Transmission Plant.
So, here it is--Sunday night---and I think we are planning on going bowling with our near, dear Chicago friends who have let us crash on their floor and invade their lives for three days/two nights now. They are very patient and admirable people...obviously:) We love them---Anna even came with us all the way bto Muncie--a four hour ride last night---to help us with merch and promo--now that's midwestern love like no other:) OK, this is getting way to long--we hit the road for Indianapolis tomorrow with a show at Birdy's tomorrow night. Hope to see you IN cats there--and a bright hello and miss you to our friends and fans at home--we'll be home soon. We're having the time of our lives...

Well, this guy';s gotta be a bit short cause I somehow managed to miss an alarm clock and gotta get outta didge---well--Indiana --and get to Chicago for our gig tonight. That being the case, I'll keep it brief. Sorry for the slacking on Monday night's Birdy's gig---wasn't feeling too well with all the cold weather-I think it finally got me! Alas, Birdy's in Indiana is a fucking cool ass place...great stage and sound---definitely want to get back there again. Being a Monday---we had a small---yet VITAL--crowd. It was much fun and we met some new people which made us smiiiiiile. Tuesday, as you may recall from a previous blog---back to MUNCIE, IN...the place that now holds the key to our hearts. For a rainy Tuesday night--we were blown away by the size and A-LIVE-NESS of the crowd yet AGAIN. MAN...these kinda crowds just usually don't happen on a Tuesday night on tour the second time you play a place. But Muncie...my love...you are so different. You are beautiful, and all you guys out last night and Saturday ---very simply: we love you deeply. Don't you forget about us..we'll be back soon. We'll most likely be back the weekend of January 26, 2008...we'll be playing a festival down the street and also another Doc's gig as well as one more in town. Muncie weekend I'll acall it. Back to Chicago--Joe's gotta use the computer to find a place to fix his amp--bye guys! SEE YOU IN CHICAGO TONIGHT!!!:

We love you too, Soraia!
