Seek and ye shall find. Just as I was lamenting the lack of news about how rising gas prices are affecting touring bands, I stumble across this article discussing a couple of artists who are planning to boat to their gigs!
One group of bands has planned a two-week August tour by sailboat, traveling along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, which runs along the East Coast between Cape Cod, Mass., and Miami. The plan was hatched by musicians Red Hunter, lead singer of the indie-rock band Peter and the Wolf, and indie musician Jana Hunter.
"It sort of started as a joke — we were playing pool and drinking beer and talking about how cool it would be … but then Jana e-mailed me and told me she thought she'd found a sailboat," said Red Hunter.
The only way this could be more awesome is if the gigs were on the boat as well. ..Hmm, don't steal my idea! Peter and Wolf's myspace lists all the places where they've already received press for this novel idea (MTV, ABC, and PopMatters are just a few), and though I am certain their star is already rising, the fact that they are touring with (Asthmatic Kitty recording artist) Castanets probably won't hurt either. I-- for one-- will definitely go see them on the boat tour!
