So aside from my awesome job at West Coast Kix, I’m also in a touring pop-punk band by the name of Broadside. We recently went on a two week tour up and down the east coast with our Canadian friends, July. From the outside it looks glamourous, however it’s tough work..being in a van with bunch of sweaty pop punk kids, the distance between you and your home/family and not to mention the struggle of trying to stand out when there are a thousand bands trying to make it. I had a lot of fun chasing my dreams these past two weeks but now it’s back to Richmond and writing new music. Be on the lookout for our full length this summer!
