TBA - M

M has done a ton of awesome stuff switching off on vocals, guitar, bass, drums and mostly focusing on keys since we started our Rock Band 3 adventure. Because of that, she gained a lot more fans than I did in previous tours. Today, she was busy with some other stuff so I went out and did a quick run through some personal Downloaded Song goals. Here's how it went down. I completed each of these challenges:

The Trinity:
D.O.A.
Laid to Rest
Hair of the Dog

Download Populist:
All the Small Things
Move Along
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Buddy Holly

Hello Daddy, Hello Mom:
Cherry Bomb (100%)

Shameless Self-Promotion:
Special Effects

Rare Music Finder:
I Don't Like You
Mica
Headknocker
Hell Hole
Where's Gary?

I also unlocked The Customizer goal by playing through and getting more than 2* on over 100 downloaded songs!

TBA now has 85,131,480 fans. Thanks!

Triumphant Return

TBA played to sold out crowds in the south last night. Here's how it went down.

First we went down to Memphis, Tennessee and played a two song set:
This Bastard's Life ***** @@@@@
In a Big Country ***** @@@@@

Next, we rode on to Chapel Hill, NC, where we played a random metal set:
Flag in the Ground ***** @@@@@
Dawn Patrol ***** @@@@@

Onward to Atlanta, GA where we played another two song set:
The Power of Love ***** @@@@@
Portions for Foxes ***** @@@@@

And finally to Austin, TX where we played a random novelty set:
Pylo the Pylon ***** @@@@@
Demon Woman ***** @@@@@
Business Time ***** @@@@

During this tour, we became Hall of Famers due to how huge volume of fans and great performances. We're practicing up for our big hall of fame induction gig sometime in the months ahead!

After the Austin show, we played a brief after tour gig of random songs and closed out the night with the Journey classic Don't Stop Believing.

We're back...

TBA has been on an extended leave of absence from touring but we've missed our fans!

Tonight we played a "warm-up" gig with M on vocals for our opening song and then on keys for the rest of the set. I rotated back and forth on guitar and bass and we had a great time sharing all new tunes with a fun crowd.

Never Let Me Down Again *****
Policy of Truth ***
Blue (Da Ba Dee) ****
Don't You Want Me ****
Total Eclipse of the Heart ***

Rock Band 3: Into the Great White North

Through the Wilderness, Eh?

Foolin' **** @@@@

Winnipeg. MB:
Everybody Wants to Rule the World **** @@@@@
The Beautiful People **** @@@@@

Montreal, Canada:

We achieved the rank of Road Warriors after this tour and then went back and redid the Hell Freezes Over tour to unlock the gold medal in that one. After the replaying of those five gigs, TBA are now a Headliner! We also got a notice that we have completed all of the van challenges. I guess all of our traveling will be by air now!
