Marnie Stern is currently touring the US and will be in Europe in Nov/Dec in support of her new self titled album. You can figure out when she is playing near you by going on the myspace: www.myspace.com/marniestern1 . This is our tour blog, we are Marnie (shredder), Nithin (bass), Vince (drums), Courtney (TM), and Fig (wonderpup). We like to talk about disgusting things and take pictures of ourselves because we feel that obviously everyone would be interested in this.

D.C.

Jasmine from No Joy has been chasing Fig around this whole tour. Finally our little diva surrendered!

Garland from No Joy passed on to Vince one of the best secret weapons for combating drumming-induced perma swass (that's short for swamp ass). Wear swim trunks! Haha!

"What I wouldn't give to lay on this couch with my pants off!" -Nithin

That's as far as they'd let Nithin go.

Dayton Ohio

Boy did we really get the red carpet treatment in Dayton OH! First off Nithin's parents fed us a home cook feast of delicious Indian food. The show was fantastic and we were so impressed to see people rockin out so late on a Monday night. Venue was located within a stone's throw of two porn shops which was perfect for keeping Marnie busy during all the pre-show downtime.

Thanks to Nithin's buddy from bak in the day, Ian, for taking such great care of us!

NITHIN'S HOME TOWN WAS SO FUN!

THE HIGHLIGHT WAS GETTING TO HANG OUT WITH KELLEY DEAL!

CANADA OH CANADA

Since nothing ever seems to go smoothly on an M. Stern tour, it seems par for the course that we would be rejected entry at the Canadian border. But we would never let a little thing like arrest warrants get in our way. So as punishment, Marnie and Nithin left Vince and his DUI record in Niagara Falls to stare at the waterfall for 16 hours and contemplate the repercussions of driving under the influence. Marnie and Nithin then made their way to Toronto to play a gig as a two piece. There were many eventful public bathroom stops on their way. Nithin's stall was invaded by a mentally unstable man who desperately needed help finding toilet paper. In two separate trips, Marnie had to hop naked from stall to stall in search for t.p. Meanwhile, Vince doesn't even use public bathrooms because he is a rugged mountain man who prefers the great outdoors.

Without Vince, Fig drove most of the way

BUT when Nithin and Marn got there, they got to meet The Raincoats, hang out with their friend Vice, hang out with the awesome girls from Grass Widow, and finally got to meet No Joy. Nithin was pretty psyched about the guy/girl ratio!

Marn even managed to fit in an interview!
