The Venetia Fair – 5th ROAD BLOG from “The Barf Art Tour”

We’ve teamed up with the awesome guys in The Venetia Fair for an exclusive Road Blog from their current tour with Survive This! called “The Barf Art Tour.” You can check out their fifth update, including pictures, after the break.

Hey everybody, Benny Santoro AKA B-Bomb here, lead screamer of the north shore’s premiere rock soon-to-be-quartet, The Venetia Fair. I have been tasked with giving an in-depth account of The Venetia Fair’s final days on the Barf Art Tour and unfortunately for you and me, I couldn’t come up with a good enough excuse to pass the task off onto one of the other members of my stupid band. So you get me, Lead Screamer, Benny Santoro, B-Bomb. Let’s dig in.

When last we saw our heroes, they were traveling to Philadelphia to meet up with Mikey “meet-you-at-the-venue” Abiuso, who had hopped on a jet plane somewhere in Texas days prior, to play a rock and roll show. A few things had to happen before we played. First, we needed to go see our friend Joe from Nobody Yet at his sick bachelor pad and take about 300 online quizzes about metal bands. THEN, we needed to launch a commercial grade firework point-blank into Mr. Chark’s ass hole across the street from a Philadelphia police department. THEN we had to hide the remaining fireworks and begin nonchalantly unloading the van like we HADN’T just launched a commercial grade firework point-blank into Mr. Chark’s ass hole across the street from a Philadelphia police department.

Having accomplished all of our goals for the day, we went on to play one of our favorite shows of the tour with the whacky and wild Philadelphians. I was groped pretty hard while on stage which was pretty weird for everyone and then our friend Victoria (https://www.facebook.com/PlushieDoctor) showed me a doll she had made based on our Ringleader music video. It was a fuckin’ real cool and real weird night.

We blasted off to NJ that night to stay with my aunt, who had prepared enough food to solve world hunger and most of the other major problems in the world. We feasted on it hard with no regard for our health or the health of others. The next day, it happened again. Then we played a show at a skate park like we were filming a music video in the year 2000. The PA system did not work for the majority of the set. Who needs to hear me anyway, though, y’know? Fuck it. Off to the next show.

Toquet Hall in CT is a very cool teen center type of spot and that’s where we played the following night but who gives a shit, the important thing is that we got lollipops with scorpions in them and then ate burgers and milkshakes. Peanut-butter milkshakes! What a great treat for me! The show was sweet too, though, some very talented young musicians played a lot of cover songs while old people filmed them with tablets. I guess they were probably relatives or something but I didn’t ask. The PA system worked the entire set, so that was nice , and also nobody was a dick to me so I liked that too.

The last show of tour was a big, crazy festival in Rhode Island and we played outside because “don’t worry, late October in New England isn’t fucking freezing.” The show did rule though, and a lot of really cold people watched us play while they partied to stay warm. It was a great ending to a great tour and now our bodies are putting themselves back together so we can get back out and do it again. See you in December, maybe we’ll play something Christmassy for you. Maybe not. Maybe whatever. Definitely whatever.
