Pigs on a Tour

Experimental Dental School keeps from going mental on their recent US tour thanks to the healing effect of animals and the convenience of wetnaps.

This is the Pilot Light in Knoxville, TN.

Shoko: “I’d never been to any of these cities. Really enjoy seeing all these new places and meeting new people.”

Shoko at Elcid, Los Angeles. We played with Sholi—our new nice friends. Wish we had more pictures of Elcid. It had a cool Spanish style with long red steps that lead down to the show space.

Shoko, Ryan, Edward and his potbelly pig, Sugar.

Had a great time hanging out in El Paso, TX. One kid got Ryan’s phone number so he can talk to Ryan about his relationship problems.

Bath and breakfast courtesy of baby wipes and microwave Indian food. Didn’t like the Hollywood hotel prices—slept in van. This is Ryan giving Jesse a van shower—risqué business.

Shoko sings to Denver.

Made in Mexico. Magic People played with us at the Middle East Club, Boston. This was one of our favorite nights of the tour.

Slept in the van. Ready for more. It’s the second day so we are really fresh at this point.

Backstage beauty session.
