Playing our hometown was a great way to end our tour/a year and 3 months of touring straight. The show was at the Granada Theater and was a packed house! It's always so nice to play for the loyal tx fans/friends! Thanks to those who drove from austin/houston/san antonio/okc etc. It was an epic show, one of the very best dallas shows ever and so much fun, thanks so much Dallas, we love you!!

This was the last show for Paramore on the tour and it was sad to see them go :( They were so fun on tour and awesome people. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show and had an awesome time! We love you Phoenix but do you think you could try to make it not so hot?! Thanks to Julie for helping promote the show! We love you guys...

This time to San Diego we played at SOMA in the big room! It was sold out and an amazing show! Over a thousand people, crazy awesome. It was a crazy show full of a few surprises. When bryce crowd surfed it became so crazy that a section of the crowd fell down pulling bryce down with them. It was very scary and very rock and roll. Later in the set Paramore ran out during "Im doing everything for you" and rocked out with the band. It was a wonderful show, thanks san diego!

It was a very pleasant surprise to see our friend/fan Sarah from Iowa City. She is a true rocket summer fan because she has a tattoo of the rocket summer drum set on her wrist! It is awesome. Anyways, thanks to Sarah for driving 10 hours to the show. It was a great show and we hope to be back soon!

Bamboozle was CRAZY AWESOME!!! It was a sold out festival of 25,000 people in the Giants stadium parking lot! The day was filled with great bands ,friends, sunshine and The Rocket Summer. TRS played the Riot Squad stage at about 6:30pm and they had an amazing time. The crowd was so responsive and everyone definately kept me busy at the merch table! I was so swamped i didnt even have time to catch any of the other bands playing :( Thats alright, its a good thing! Thanks so much for everyone who watch the rocket summer and liked what they saw!

(Bryce even wrote his highschool senior paper on James Dean!) The next day we drove to St. Louis and went to a Cardinals game. It was a pretty fun 2 days off!

So the last day of the Relient K, Rocket Summer, Maxeen tour has come :( It has been the best tour yet for TRS and it has been so great touring with such great friends of ours!
The show was at the famous Newport Music Hall and was a great last show! Tommy, our drummer, had a family emergency and had to fly home and missed the show so Jay, the drummer for maxeen, was kind enough to learn 4 of the songs to fill in for Tommy and play. It worked out great! During Relient K's set, we filled up all of our confetti blasters and during Sadi Hawkins song we shot them all off! It was sweet. We really can't thank RK enough for taking us out! We love you guys and thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and rocked out!!!

So the Memphis show was at the New Daisy Theatre right on Beale St. on St. Patrick's Day! It was a very fun night. Bryce sang with Relient k during "More than Useless". It was sooo great! We had a very fun and festive St.Patrick's Day and i hope you did too.
