Megosh – CRAZY TOUR STORIES

In this Crazy Tour Stories segment, the progressive rock band, Megosh, talk about some of their crazy moments from touring. You can check out the feature, after the break.

Dear Digital Tour Bus,

Megosh here to tell ya a little story. Please keep in mind as you are reading this that NOTHING is exaggerated or falsified for dramatic purposes. The tour story you are about to read is a very REAL one with several eye witnesses.

Ok, so this is going to get weird…

It started with us looking for a place to spend a few days off in New Mexico. It was during our first full US tour and we had never been to New Mexico prior, so friends with an open house for a rock band was short pickins…

JonJohn (drummer) was with us this tour and his brother had suggested we contact a friend of their father’s who happened to live in the Albuquerque area. JonJohn lived in Germany for a short time because of his father’s military background and failed to tell us that the last time he had seen this “family friend” was when he was in Germany…27 years ago!!! Ok, ok… none of this matters to a band on the road until after you’re already in the grave you suddenly realized you had been digging all along.

Let’s jump in it…
1. After connecting with him through social media he tells us he had to change his name. ⛳️

2. We arrive and we notice a headstone in his front yard (which is just dirt cause it’s the desert). When we compliment its oddity, he says, “Yeah, that’s a plaque for my late father. I was accused of murdering him, but that’s here nor there…” ?

3. Aside from some other small details that we are choosing to leave out for PC purposes, the next big red flag raised came when we noticed a bullet hole in the wall above a cloth covered couch. Can you guys guess what happened next? I bet you’ll only get half close!!!!

4. He tells us how, since he lives by an Indian reservation, he drinks with some of the locals, one, in particular, was an older Navajo woman (I think it was Navajo, could be wrong about this part). He had told us how she had asked for a place to sleep one night after an evening of drinking, so he kindly lends her the couch as a place to rest and recover. He woke up the next morning to find that she had shot herself in the head. Multiple flags….

5. With us all standing in his living room silent, staring at his ragged, bloody death seat, everyone waited for him to say the next words. And they were: “Hey, would you guys help me take this couch out back to burn? I have a home-made flame thrower I’ll let you guys try out.” Our response: “FUCK YES WE CAN!!!” We took turns burning an honest couch and he fed us a meal that had to cost hundreds of dollars, and lastly said, “ok guys the house is yours, I’m staying at my girlfriend’s tonight.”

The End….

(Marvel extended ending)
The next morning Finch got naked and rode a horse bareback.

Keep up with the band on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
