Top Ten TSC Family Photos of 2011
We've had an amazing year in 2011, and have been fortunate to share it with you! Our extended TSC Family captured some moments throughout the year that we really love. We selected 10 of them (although there were a lot more that were great) that represent some of our favorite shows, and towns, from our travels. Enjoy!
1. Rhiana Keiser caught this shot of Jeremiah’s shoes during a quiet moment in a set at Costa Mesa’s Detroit Bar. Detroit Bar has made us look forward to stopping in Orange County, which is probably why we played there four times in 2011!
2. The second time we visited Boise, ID this year, we did an acoustic in-store performance at the Record Exchange. This store is incredible, and we had a blast showing our new Boise friends another side of our songs. Shaun captured this moment with his phone.
3. Sacramento has always been one of our favorite tour-stops, and our show at Harlow's during our Summer Sweat Tour was no exception. We had a blast with so many of our Sac-Town friends, and the night was really special. Thanks to Biscuit Barrios for this shot that captured the vibe of the show perfectly.
4. Our most unique show environment of the year was the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. We performed with our good buddies Saint Motel in front of Chris Burden’s installation art sculpture “Urban Light” that is comprised of 202 restored street lamps. Marissa Mortati captured a contemplative Chad in front of the sculpture and Wilshire Blvd. behind.
5. Keith Lyons caught all the glory of Justin’s mustache during the San Diego Music Thing conference and festival. Our show at Sunset Temple during the conference was a rowdy ordeal that harkened back to our early San Diego shows.
6. We played a lot of stripped-down “acoustic” sets in 2011, but this benefit show for the San Luis Obispo Bike Coalition was one of the most interesting. We were happy to support a good cause while bringing a different flavor to our central coast audience. Thanks to Riley Pall for this shot from the balcony of The Creeky Tiki.
7. Marissa Mortati caught this freeze-frame of a hair-flying, sweat-slinging, moment at another Detroit Bar Show!
8. We love playing on a big stage, and this outdoor stage on the San Diego Bay for the America's Cup Village gave us plenty of room to move. Still, Josh and Justin couldn’t resist joining each other to yell on one mic. Andy Bartotto caught this shot of that collaboration in action.
9. Each of our four Detroit Bar shows this year was unique. From joining our new Australian friends Boy & Bear before heading to the east coast, to a rowdy night for our friends The Gromble's residency, each one has had some special moments. Rhiana Keiser caught another one of those moments as Josh and Jeremiah rile up the crowd.
10. 2011 is the first year that we have gone international. We played in Canada with our buddies Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses, and journeyed south of the border for a show in Tijuana this December. Edeath Coffey caught Josh writhing on the floor of Bodega Aragon in Tijuana during one of the rowdiest versions of “Road Song” we have ever done.
This year has been absolutely incredible, and we thank everyone that we have shared these wonderful memories with.
