I'll be honest. Trying to figure out what Steven Seagal movie is on the hotel TV right now is taking up too much time for me to think about something to blog about. It's the one that starts with a crazy SWAT Team-like raid on a house where Seagal and John Leguizamo fuck people up whilst wearing 'N Sync headset microphones. And now I'm wasting more time by laughing at Steven Seagal movie taglines on imdb.com. For those of you wondering, the answer is yes -- this is what tour is like.

In Switches frontman Matt Bishop's final blog entry, the daring rock'n'roll foodies search high and low for lobster in the Portland, Maine before returning to the UK for a few weeks rest in preparation for yet another musical and gastronomic onslaught: SXSW.

2/23, Portland, Maine: Dogfish Cafe

Fuck you, Jim Gaffigan -- my whole life is a lie.

Seriously now. The only way I justified eating like shit was from listening to your comedy, and now my world has been turned upside down from what I saw on Monday (March 3). We were walking to our van from the hostel, which was a bit of a walk. We walked past a guy who dropped his shoes out of his gym bag, and Steve [Hamelin, drummer] grabbed them for him. The guy said thanks and went into the Whole Foods. While we were walking away, Steve looked back and said, "I think that was Jim Gaffigan." I said, "that can't be right." Jim Gaffigan...with gym shoes. Jim Gaffigan...walking into Whole Foods?

Hit the City of Brotherly Love with Switches frontman Matt Bishop and his pack of foodie rockers as they pursue the ideal Philly cheesesteak and proper local brew to wash it down.

2/22, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Blarney South Bar and Grill

I think I should make a few things clear, aside from my slightly misleading (but super eye-catching) headline, about this blog before I start. First, there may be some colorful language used at some points in this blog. I can promise at least one c-word.

Switches frontman Matt Bishop and guitarist Ollie Thomas prepare for the band's anticipated New York City gig by chowing down on a slice of the Big Apple's finest pizza.

2/21, New York City: Famiglia's

Before the biggest night of the whole tour, playing New York City's Terminal 5, we had some engagements to make and en route stumbled across Famiglia's, a typical fast paced New York Pizza joint, visited by many American politicos, including the Schwarzeneggers and the Clintons. So it's obvious that by eating this pizza you definitely get a chance at going into battle against war-crazed machines at some level. There was no terminator pizza so buffalo mozzarella basil and tomato was Ollie's choice, whilst I opted for a pepperoni war zone. Pizza will never be the same again. Bring on the robots!
