Following on from his previous report from the Hercules & Love Affair US Tour, Richard Marshall brings us another update about life on the road.
Hercules & Love Affair Tour Diary
Hello from Miami!
It's been a super hectic but incredibly fun the past few weeks. The amount of things left in hotel rooms and on airplanes is starting to add up so, to that point that I’m forced to write to you from my phone. It’s amazing to share with you the pure magic that has been the Feast Of The Broken Heart tour in North America.
Let's pick up where we left off.
Vancouver: GORGEOUS! The show there was amazing and the fans we got to meet there were so special and moving.
New York: the homecoming of Hercules & Love Affair was PACKED ! The Carry Nation and Susanne Bartsche really turns it out! The lights were low, the beats were bumping and the boys and girls were looking like they do only in New York City! The band was feeling it!!! With an audience full of love and legend we SLAYED New York and they SLAYED us!
Chicago: WHERE HOUSE MUSIC WAS INVENTED! My sister came and we slept and SLAYED again. The audience was dancing and singing along as much as I’ve ever seen them! Thank you Chicago!!!!!!
That's the theme out here, sleep and slay. We love seeing as many of you as possible so we have been on the crazy move. Sadly, we have been jumping coast and crossing borders so much along the way that sickness caught up to us. After about 10 consecutive shows we were totally gutted to have to postpone our show in the nation’s capital; don't worry DC babies we will be back next year to deliver you a very healthy and energetic show. Forgive us!
Toronto and Boston came out in full force though. The heat and the meat in the audience was completely insane, and in Toronto we were pouring bottles of water on ourselves to cool off, crazy.
The amazing people we've has the privilege to meet and share our show with along the way has been amazing! And we’ve still got three more shows to go, so we’re still rocking Defected!!!!
Next up its III Points Festival Miami, Corona Capital and Ultra. Let’s go!
