WELCOME TO ONE OF THE WEB'S LONGEST RUNNING BLOGS

Bassist Tony Levin has been sharing his road experiences here since 1996 (which sounds fairly recent, but in the Internet world, it isn't. Even the terms weblog and blog were coined in 1997 and 1999.)

We have over 400 archived tour pages on the site (with about 6,800 photos) and we're happy to have had over 3 million visits.



July 11, Kingston

Finally, the page is up for the Stick Men Warsaw show last week.

A few more days off at home and we'll head back to Italy for more shows, including a first time venture to play in the Canary Islands.


July 3, Warsaw

Have my luggage and pedals back... have played in Italy, Portugal and Spain, now in Warsaw for a show tonight, and finally have uploaded some photos and notes from last week's touring.

Italy shows, Lisbon & Barcelona shows, and some photos of the band onstage


June 25, Torino

My my my... tonight starts our Stick Men European Summer tour, here in Italy, and there have already been more complications than I need for the whole tour. My luggage never made it to Milan, where we flew in yesterday - and the airline still can't locate it today, so I'm playing without the many effect pedals I usually have -- should be quite a challenge. We're interspersing our travel with trips back to Milan's Linate airport, to try to find out more info on whether those pedals will ever show up --- but things get dicier soon, with transport strikes planned.
And we have flights to Portugal, Spain, and Poland that may be affected by those strike days.

We'll see ... so far the only photos I have are of a farmers protest outside the Milan train station where they parked their tractors to block traffic.

The start of a most interesting Summer!


June 19, Kingston

Way behind schedule, I have finally finished all 5 pages with photos and notes from the Stick Men Japan Tour.

We've just got the week at home, then headed to Europe for shows in Italy, Portugal, Spain and Poland. (Some new confirmed dates are listed below)

More soon.


June 6, Yonago

A couple of nice videos of Stick Men are up on YouTube from our recent Montreal show: Relentless and Indiscipline

June 4, Fukuoka

Last night began the Stick Man Japan tour here in Fukuoka. I'll be forming a page about the tour and will have it up in a day or so.

The live show downloads are just up and ready, from our shows in Puebla, Sellersville, Annapolis, Washington DC, and Cincinatti.
For anyone considering getting just one show from the recent tour, I'd recommend either the Ram's Head Annapolis show or (with my pathetic Spanish speaking,) Puebla, Mexico.


May 30, about to head to Japan

Bit of a long travel day tomorrow, all the way to Fukuoka, with a long layover in Tokyo... I try to think of all these long flights as just training for my August trip to New Zealand!
(p.s. Yay Kindle.)


May 28, Kingston

The Stick Men Soup CD is now up on CD Baby for digital download (whole album or any single tracks - check it out.)
A great Greg Howard review of Soup
We're off to Japan on Monday for shows coming up there. Should make for interesting web pages ... coming soon!


May 25, Puebla, Mexico

Here to play with Stick Men in a music festival. Beautiful town and stage outdoors right in the center - it should be much fun.
After soundcheck, no time to be a tourist, I spent the day in my room updating my woefully behind tour diaries!
So far, I have pages up for the Stick Men shows in Woodstock, Montreal & Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland & Chicago, and Minneapolis & Milwaukee.
More are coming, as well as some photos from this festival.
Next week: Japan!
