KRUM BUMS Post Tour Blog

KRUM BUMS frontman Dave Tejas has checked in with another exclusive tour blog entry from the road.

"Today is our first show of the tour in San Antonio at the Full Throttle bar. Our homeboy Chuckie set it up for us last minute to help us out with gas money to make it out to California. He’s helped us out the last couple of tours (hence all the fucking bad luck!!) Before our tour last April, the band van got stolen Chuckie hooked up a DJ set for Trae and I and got us a couple hundred. However, I don’t know who would want to steal that piece of shit!! Most of the windows had been knocked out and replaced with sheet metal and plastic. During a small fight between our original bassist Javier and I, he pushed my face into the metal window and burn the shit out me. It felt like I was one of those crappy vampires whose face saw the light of day. AAAHHHHH!!!

"I'm getting all excited. It usually doesn't set in until right before we leave, but I can feel this is going to be a rad tour. Toxic Holocaust. Holy Grail and Krum Bums!!! We have been boys with T.H. for a couple years and planning to tour together for a while now. I feel like a bad kid right now thinking of what kind of trouble we will be getting into. Every time they come to Austin we end up partying all night. What's going to happen when we are together for seven weeks?! Some one may die!!

"As for Holy Grail, I have never met them but their music is amazing! I’m looking forward to getting to know them. This tour is going to span across the chart on hard core. I know anyone that comes out to these shows will be stoked. A bad-ass end of summer tour. I foresee lots of blood and sweat. If you haven't heard any of our bands go to our respective Facebook pages and check it out. Tour dates can there as well."
